Snivelling McCain
Have you noticed that whenever McCain makes a gaffe he always tries to pass it off as a joke?
According to the McCain camp he was joking when he said $5 million was rich. A joke? I don't think so, McCain had been invited to a political interview to give serious answers to serious questions. He was auditioning for President of the USA, not for a late night spot at the comedy store.
And when McCain was called on his smear ads his response? 'You gotta have a sense of humor'.
And when McCain sang 'bomb bomb Iran', another joke. Hey if McCain is so funny, how come nobody is laughing.
I don't think McCain is telling jokes here, what he is doing is what we Brits call sniveling. Whenever challenged about his own behavior, McCain always comes out with a whiny excuse to say why it isn't his fault.
If he isn't telling a joke, McCain is making sniveling references to his time as a POW: oooh, don't say anything nasty about me, I was a POW don't you know! Which in snivel means 'I will accuse my opponent of being unpatriotic secure in the knowledge that he cannot respond in kind against me'.
Snivel snivel snivel.
Rove swiftboated Kerry, turning his greatest strength into his greatest weakness. Now he has done the same in this election - to McCain. McCain used to be seen as a war hero, after Rove he is now the king of snivell, trying to become President on a sympathy vote.

Boy, you're right. I absolutely didn't put this together, the half-assed attempts at humor, thinly veiling his contempt and arrogance, and then doing the POW smackdown whenever he gets challenged in any way! My god, the sense of entitlement he has must be so enormous he has to crap it out every day. And to see a young man, who has been, as he likes to say "blooded," drawing such hope and admiration... must be killing him.
