 McCain’s Ink EnvyPosted on Jul 22, 2008
John McCain has often been described as a media darling, but that was before Mr. Straight Talk had to run against a political phenomenon. The Arizona senator was already frustrated by his drooping media prestige, but the wall-to-wall coverage of Barack Obama’s international tour, which was kind of McCain’s idea, has him seeing red.

McCain needs help - and a long rest. He ought to resign from the presidential campaign now before it just gets worse.
His staff is trying to cover for him, but aren’t doing too well.
Maybe just letting him retire pleasantly will be better than watching his deterioration.

I’m sure he’s against requiring equal time on broadcast radio and TV, but he wants equal coverage in print media?

For someone who opposes net neutrality seems kind of hypocritical to complain about not getting fair coverage in media forms.

Well, perhaps John and Bill can commiserate.

Turnabout Time
“Based on?”
“John McCain’s having a fit over all the media coverage of Barack Obama’s tour.”
“Why the panic?”
“He knows.”
“Knows what?”
“That as front man for the powers that used to be he won’t be making history.”
“Who wlll?”
“Us, with Barack Obama as our agent of change.”
“Obamna becomes our president and then what sort of world?”
“Empowered by our having elected him, it’ll be up to us.”

McCain, you’re boring. You’re another Bush, plain and simple. Enough said.
