Time: McCain the "kamikaze politician"

Oh, the Drama! McCain in the Theater of the Absurd
By Michael Grunwald Saturday, Sep. 27, 2008

If you missed the news this week, you didn't miss all that much. The stock market threatened to crash, but didn't. John McCain threatened to skip the presidential debate unless members of Congress approved a huge financial bailout, but they didn't, so he didn't. The debate went on; the candidates stayed on message; the pundits all agreed that it wasn't a "game-changer." You did miss the largest bank failure in American history, not to mention a $25 billion bailout of the auto industry, but that's chump change these days, right? You might not have heard that investment banks are now officially extinct, but basically the economy is on the same precipice it was on last week. What you did miss was an amazing week of political theater, starring the frenetic, operatic, borderline erratic McCain, the former fighter pilot who seems to have found his calling as a kamikaze politician.

Killer scathing commentary about McCain's desperate attempts to make news. I do believe the press is finally turning on McCain and Palin. This could get ugly as they begin to smell blood.

1. The thing about Kamikazes

is that they never lived to see if they were successful.

We don't need a president who looks at his campaign as some kind of suicide mission.

How would he govern? Would he take us all on some nosedive mission that just ends up exploding?

Give me someone who uses intelligence rather than insanity to make decisions.

An Obama landslide would be nice.

4. I don't think McCrash was a fighter pilot....I think bomber

6. Correct. I believe he dropped Agent Orange and napalm bombs on enemy and civilian targets.
