Meanwhile, McCain Channels Captain Queeg

Obama missing The Surge and how McCain was for The Surge before The Surge was a twinkle in Pres. Bush's eye, and otherwise carrying on about The Surge while the Iraqs have politely told us to GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY--PLEASE!So, I've taken Humphrey Bogart's famous solioquy from The Caine Mutiny, re-written it, and recast Capt.

He laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the Iraq maproom DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled McCain out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow Democrats...For more on Kansas politics, read Kansas Watch at http://kswatch.squarespace.com

Hey Todd,Please realize that according to the latest polls, Obama has maybe a 4% lead over McCain. Something ain't resonating. Maybe Obama should get his ass back to US and talk about the economy, energy policy, and health care. Duh.
