George Will, you're starting to "get it"!

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

"It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed?"

-- I've been saying this all along. It's about temperament. Obama has the smarts, the stability and the calm, clear judgment to be the President. McCain does not. Even the George Wills of the world are finally beginning to see it. Now, will they vote with their better judgment?

1. It is arguable....

as I sit here extruding another odoriferous column of pompous verbosity, that I am conflicted between the perspicacious erudition that I have developed as my trademark style and the moral imperative to cease manufacturing obfuscatory counterarguments that seek to validate the logical constructions of conservative and neo-conservative modi operandii.

However, that said, even a pompous twit knows on which side of his slightly carbonized, triticale wafer the calorie-laden polyunsaturated lipid is spread, and that erstwhile readers who have not a farthing to spend due to great economic distress will no longer be able to be consumers of the publications that carry his loquacious doctrinaire screeds and he will be out of gainful employment.

3. It is not arguable that Obama is too inexperienced for the presidency...

...and George Will is still pretending not to "get it." This was a clumsy attempt to equate what Obama offers with the mountain of fail that is John McCain.

4. Can inexperience be corrected by the right judgment...

Please tell Mr. Will that Obama has been right on all of he major issues, while McSame, who supposedly has all this experience, continues to get it wrong, continues to make mistakes, continues to lie, and continues to show ill temperament.

6. When I was much younger I liked to read George Will because he

was such a good writer and sometimes he talked about baseball. I lived overseas and the number of people you could read was somewhat limited and his column was in the International Herald Tribune.

It was during the time of the air bag legislation. The question was whether the government should compel people to be safer than they think that they should have to be. He wrote a very elegant and entertaining column against this draconian idea. Most sensible people read it and thought, "nice try George".

A few weeks into the final debate there is a horrific car accident in the intersection directly in front of George's home and he works out of his home so he was the first person on the scene.

He was able to observe the last moments of life of a woman who was almost decapitated when a young driver ran a red light.

George wrote the most compelling columns for passive restraint in cars detailing how this experience up close and personal had shaken him to the core and the legislation passed easily.

I realized that George and I would agree on a lot of things if we could just get George up close and personal so that he could see how events actually work out when they meet on the real intersections of life. Yes George eventually gets it. He's still a putz.
