My apologies. I apparently started a diversion from the point at hand, namely “let’s make fun of the tortured former POW who now occasionally speaks funny because his captors smashed all his teeth.”

Far be it from me to interrupt this exercise in class and dignity.

JT: As I recall, his status as a torture victim was front and center when the subject of waterboarding was being discussed… funny how that was so significant when he was agreeing with you, and forgotten when you need something to mock and denigrate him over.

As I recall, his status as an opponent to torture was front and center when the subject of waterboarding was being discussed… funny how that was so quickly changed when he need something to woo his base…

Alternately, it could be because nearly all his teeth were smashed while he spent five years as a guest of the government of Viet Nam. It’s kind of like why you never see him high-fiving anyone.

The bar for Presidential communication has been set so low…

I’ll live with the whistles. At least he can make complete sentences.

That whistle is caused by shifts in air pressure as McCain changes his opinions, waffling from left, to right, to left, to right, ad infinitum.

Just for example: He was for negotiating with Iran before he was against it.

Just for another example: He’s for privatizing Social Security but he’s also against it.

My big fear is that by whipping his head from left to right so fast and so often, he may snap his own neck.

Crankily yours,

Does it have anything to do with that giant growth on the left side of his face? Is the press ever going to ask why someone with history of cancer has a lopsided face?
