  Pain in the ASCII

  John McCain has the same deficiencies in Tech as he does with most matters. He has never pretended to be a scholar - wise enough - because even with a supporting cast of shills - he'd never pull it off. It is though, curious, that he truly doesn't give one a sense of actually being competent at much except recitals. Recitals? Yes, recitals. He recites quips, talking points and lines - kind of like the YouTube 'Talking Dogs' but there is little evidence that he understands what it is he is actually saying. This is further evidenced by the confusing array of facial expressions - the untimely smiles - and the sometimes uncontrollable exhorts.

  Could you imagine the conversation in his head - when he recited that line, presuming to speak for all Americans - 'We're all Georgians' He doesn't even have a grasp of the essential facts, and when the American public finally grasps the oil interests involved in this tragic loss of life - the McCain campaign theater is going to be seen as the one with the little stage and the giant lobby.

  Central casting couldn't have come up with a better selection to follow Bush. He almost makes Bush seem confident and knowledgeable, instead of cocky and uninformed as is reality. McCain is the transitional political team that combines governance with lobbying in the style of Certs breath mints ... you know - two, two, two creeps in one.

  So it's not just technology that escapes John McCain's practical experience and knowledge base - that's only the one that is quite bewildering. In fact - wanna have a laugh? List his competencies, that is to say, things that he's considered an expert - and don't tell me military or naval because that's how he got into politics - they said - sorry - no Flag grade for you.

  Acting. Acting is what he does best. Hell, he's been posing as a Senator for years.
