Old Man Huggies last night

Here's what John McCain said last night:

"I think after 9/11, my friends, we should have told Americans to join the Peace Corps, expand the military, serve a cause greater than your self-interest," he said.


Too bad, Gramps. George Bush, the guy you're all huggy with and have deep man-love for, told us to go shopping. As a sort of elder statesman, you could have stepped up and led the call for service. But you didn't. You went along with this disastrous bungling whole-heartedly. You've only discovered this "greater than your self-interest" line now that you're running for President. Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.

Also, 9/11 was almost 7 years ago. It's taken you seven years to come to this conclusion? Man, I know the elderly are slow, but this is ridiculous.

Finally, Frankie Machine is not your "friend."

End note: I think Rick Warren rigged last night's forum, was on McCain's side from the get-go, and gave McCain the questions beforehand. And Obama still came across as smarter, better-informed, and more capable.
