It's 3 a.m. Who do you want answering the phone?
Not John McCain, say some military leaders: "I think his knee-jerk response factor is a little scary."
By Mark Benjamin [2008-03-06]

  • It's 3 a.m. And your country is slipping into a coma...

    I'm happy if it's any of these three, compared to the current occupant. Clinton, Obama and McCain are each far more qualified to orchestrate foreign diplomacy and will do it at a level so high it would make GWB's head spin. So on the face of it I see this as a non-issue.

    What is an issue is that our next president might be elected based on this fear angle, when we all know that a list of domestic issues ought to trump terrorism at every turn.

    So, while I don't mind if McCain takes the call that tells him the port of San Pedro has been hit with a dirty bomb, I do mind that up until that call he has been working to keep GWB's taxes permanent and thereafter has been rallying to get whako judges placed about the country.

    That's what will suck.
