No home run for McCain

On his big night, John McCain gave at best an uneven speech; even a moving segment about his time as a prisoner of war may not have saved it for him.

    War record nausea

    Even though McCain is no chicken shit like the rest of the GOP cowards who assiduously avoided the draft, it's time he gave it up on the constant war-record rhetoric. It's like he's reliving it so often you just know he has nothing else of substance to say.

    I can't wait to see him eviscerated by Obama in the debates - he's gonna wish he was still at the Hanoi Hilton. Or, he'll play the pity card. I'm sure the GOP stooges at Faux News will call it a victory for McCain whatever the result.
