Obama, get ready for the "Clinton rules"

As Wednesday's awful debate proves, it won't matter who the presidential nominee is -- the press will play footsie with McCain and attack the Democrat.

Probable press question of McCain

I suspect the question most media figures are burning to ask of McCain goes something like this, "Dear friend, maverick and war hero Sen. McCain, once you've finished your doughnut perhaps you'd be kind enough to tell me whether you prefer to be kissed on the right or the left buttock? Bush and Cheney both prefered the right but I don't want to make assumptions."

Will they ask him about his adulterous affair with his current wife? Will they ask his children how he handled that? Will they press him about his wife's fortune as they did Sen. Kerry? Will they question his bravery and honor as they did Sen. Kerry? The list could go on but what's the use. Media figures will present McCain with doughnuts, cross themselves, kiss his ring - or his butt, whichever he presents and then ask him why he thinks Obama doesn't wear a flag pin.

The American press makes me sick.
