McCain and his too-tight Depends

McCain's Depends were a little too tight on Friday night.  As a result, Grandpa Cranky-Pants was a little too angry overall.  

Of course he had a lot to be angry about.  His ploy on Wednesday to "suspend" his campaign was  sub-prime bullshit, and he stepped in the pile of it.  His surrogates and political ads stayed on TV.  None of his campaign offices were closed. And he gave a speech at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York and met with Bono (Bono - the celebrity).  

He HAD to pull this stunt to say, "Hey look at the shiny thing over here.  Don't look at Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric.  Don't read about my campaign manager being on the payroll of Freddie Mac. Don't look at the polls that have me dropping like a stone. Look at me, I'm being a Maverick!"   

Instead of staying in D.C. until a bailout agreement was hammed out, McCranky's advisors said he had no choice but to show up at the debate.  So, he was pissed and left to direct his anger at Russia, Iran and all the other foreign bad guys -- and, of course, Obama. I loved his snide remarks about how Obama didn't "understand" how foreign policy works.  I only wish Obama would have been more aggressive in his answers.   Unfortunately, Obama now has to walk this fine line between responding and not looking like a scary, black man that might frighten Joe and Jane Six-pack out there in Peoria.

In the end, the polls picked up on how angry McSame was and seemed to agree that Obama was the winner of the debate.  Can America be wising up?  

Let's not get crazy here.
