Chris Kelly : The Delicate Subject of John McCain's Marbles
From the http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-kelly/the-delicate-subject-of-j_b_127359.html ">Huffington Post:

"Evil must be defeated!" -- John McCain 8/16/08

"Enough is enough! We're going to put an end to greed!" -- John McCain 9/17/08

...

America's choice is clear. Barack Obama, a messianic egomaniac who thinks he's, like, our savior or something, or John McCain, who will defeat evil and put an end to greed.

John McCain will not only take on special interests and Washington insiders, he'll fundamentally alter human nature. And without raising taxes, either. He'll lead us to a sort of martial nirvana where all other emotions are replaced with patriotism, and turn the United States into a shining, selfless, bipartisan cross between heaven and Sparta.

Or maybe he's just a desperate shell of a man, babbling glorp.

If Reverend Wright went around shouting stuff like "We're going to put an end to greed!" people would start thinking he was some kind of fruitcake.

--

You might think "I'll end greed" would be the most mortifying thing John McCain could say at one sitting. You'd be wrong. At Wednesday's town hall -- his first with Sarah Palin -- he topped himself with this explanation of her credentials:

"She has been commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard. Fact. On September 11 a contingent of the Guard deployed to Iraq and her son happened to be one of them so I think she understands national security challenges."
Which is fine except:

The governor of Alaska doesn't command the National Guard in combat overseas.

Sarah Palin didn't deploy anyone anywhere on September 11th. She was a guest speaker at an Army deployment ceremony.

Track Palin isn't in the National Guard; he's in the Army.

Sometimes it seems like it's more than John McCain can handle, just keeping all the lies about Sarah Palin straight in his head. Tomorrow he'll say she's in the Air Force herself, on a plane she bought on eBay, bombing the bridges at Toko-Ri.

--

It's all Shiites and Sunnis to John McCain. So what's your problem? We're told that Lord Raglan fought the entire Crimean War believing the Russians were the French. And that worked out okay because, uh, everyone under his command died.

--

"I know how to win wars! I know how to win wars!" -- John McCain 7/15/08

9. Remember the scene
from The Shining, when demented Jack Nicholson was whacking away at the wall to the bathroom with an axe, trying to get at his terrified wife, all wild-eyed yelling, "here's Johnnie..." I keep expecting John McCain to do that. Do believe the poor man has dementia.

20. hey thanks
been lurking around here for years and years - been a proud registered LIBERAL Democrat for over 40 years - thought the Country wouldn't ever want to go thru another Vietnam another Nixon, but here we are. Some people believing that Crazy John and Sister Sarah could actually be in charge...just can't sit quiet any longer...so thanks for the welcome.

4. Tonight Rachel Maddow rattled off a series of gaffes and mistakes that made McCain seem nuts
It was quite long and contained statements from McCain I hadn't heard about before. I wish I could find a list of everything she said. Maddow then went to interview Senator Jim Webb and he looked a little stunned. The list made McCain seem like he was really losing his mind.
