    Movie Hero

    What's surprising? McCain is auditioning to be the latest actor in the right wing audience's movie theater of the mind.

    It's all performance, dress up and John Wayne heroism by way of 1970s Clint Eastwood lawlessness.

    McCain is auditioning. It's part WWE wrestling, part Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbuster.

    Republican voters don't believe in reality, they believe in an awesome kickass movie with American heroes bombing the bad guys. The specifics of the debate are as irrelevant as the plot points in "Live Free or Die Hard."
