MCain has no fucking clue what's going on. He's Mr Republican-Government-by-Photo-Op - he has a vague sense that he should be involved, but he doesn't understand the issues or the threat.

He's the perfect foil to Palin - out of his depth, not allowed out for a test drive without supervision, and propped up by hollow glossy advertising, lies, and PR.

It's astonishing, but the US system has dredged up a ticket which is even more toxic and shamefully, barbarically clueless than Cheney-Bush.

need to unpack my other PC, so I have all the graphics software. (it's somewhere in a room full of packed boxes)

turn out one of those lawn signs with "Just when you thought things couldn't get worse" McCain/Palin '08 on it

Sarkozy made us regret Chirac, a prospect that was indeed chilling at the time. Now we are going to regret Bush?

Bush yes, but he was only ever a cipher. Cheney is as coolly analytical as Putin, but motivated by greed. I'm not sure what motivates Putin, but it's not greed.

Where Cheney went wrong was in thinking that military might is all you need.

Cheney rolled the dice, and he lost.
