The solution for the war in Iraq — by John McCain

Jason Horowitz http://www.observer.com/20060529/20060529_Jason_Horowitz_pageone_newsstory1.asp">reports in the New York Observer that John McCain met with an exclusive audience of very wealthy Republicans in New York late last week, shortly after getting booed relentlessly at the New School's commencement ceremony. The students weren't terribly impressed, but apparently McCain "saved some of his best material" for the elite crowd that gathered behind closed doors in the back of the Regency Hotel.

Snip...

"One of the things I would do if I were President would be to sit the Shiites and the Sunnis down and say, 'Stop the bullshit,'" said Mr. McCain, according to Shirley Cloyes DioGuardi, an invitee, and two other guests.

Oh, so that's what we need from the Oval Office. I'm sure the Iraqis will find this immediately persuasive and lay down arms thanks to the power of McCain's personality and his desire to see the two sides get along. Somewhere, Bush is slapping his hand against his forehead, saying, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Or, as Brendan Nyhan put it, "So honest! So bold! What an innovative diplomatic concept! If only John McCain were president, we'd have peace in Iraq!"

It's worth noting, however, all sarcasm aside, McCain's audience ate this up. DioGuardi, the wife of former Republican congressman Joseph DioGuardi, said McCain was "fantastic" and has "a vision for what should happen to this country."

Maybe it was the profanity that sealed the deal.
