McCain Busts Out A William Jennings Bryan Reference

10:28 am EST June 6th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 8 Comments

You don’t get that very often. McCain is claiming that Obama reminds him of William Jennings Bryan, a gifted orator who failed to win the presidency after running several times between 1896-1908.

Maybe Sen. McCain is right. I’m assuming he personally witnessed Bryan’s losses, so he’s got first hand experience.

    Style over substance? Well, to me it appears that McCain has neither, inasmuch as his prepared speeches have all the charm of a dead fish, and his policy proposals are less substantial than any other major candidate’s are or were.

    I love to see people try to minimize the qualities of clear elocution, brilliant oratory and coherent ideas. As though in their absence is found virtue. Look, if McCain can’t clearly state or explain his ideas, how the hell is he going to explain them to us?

    He’s not. Or if he does, he will explain it to us as if we are 4 years old.

    I particularly like the way McCcain connects with his audience with that dazzling smile. A continuous looop of his green-background speech on Fox would sure fire up the GOP base.

    Holy crap!! While Oliver is right, McCain obviously doesn’t know anything of what WJB was about. Man, McCain is so freakin’ dumb!!

    I’m guessing John voted against WJB?

    That joke is just too easy.
