Or, to paraphrase bill Maher, it’s like being called a douchebag by Andy Dick.

Would you choose the doctor that is 72 years old and is at least a decade past his prime?
I would rather have a doctor who actively listens to me and gives a shit about my problems. And will work with me to fix them.

Canadians!

That’s right, Jay, education and ability is meaningless when determining who would be the better President.

“How about:

Would you choose the guy from the top one percent of his class who has no patient history, no referrals, and no peers who can vouch for him or the guy who barely graduated that has had plenty of patients who can speak for how well he did, plenty of referrals and plenty of peers who can vouch for his work?

For your Mom.”

Two points…

1.) Nice appeal to emotions. It is a clear sign you have to facts to back up your argument.

2.) Your analogy is faulty, because McCain doesn’t have the credentials you think he has.

And as a bonus…

3.) The “For your Mom.” part sounds like a set up for some tasteless MILF jokes.

Additionally, using your analogy… Would you choose the doctor that is 72 years old and is at least a decade past his prime? And being president is more challenging than being a doctor, because you have to keep it up for 4 years, and if you can’t, the transition is a lot worse than switching doctors.

No it’s not.

Oh, wait, yes it is.

Straight talk, my friends. Your health is strong.

No, no, wait. Your health is at risk.

*blinkblinkblinkblink*

Yes, when the Republicans are attacked by a multi-millionaire, or as Bush calls them, his base, then it is a big deal.

It would be like the NCAAP attacking a Democrat for being anti-Black.

When your base turns on you, you have problems. When your base supports you, it’s not noteworthy.

Would you choose the guy from the top one percent of his class who has no patient history, no referrals, and no peers who can vouch for him or the guy who barely graduated that has had plenty of patients who can speak for how well he did, plenty of referrals and plenty of peers who can vouch for his work?

Well, let’s see. The guy from the top 1% of his class does infact have patient history, dozens of glowing referrals and boatloads of peers who can vouch for him.
The guy who barely graduated has had plenty of patients and lots of referrals, but a great many of them are not positive ones.

Oh, not to mention patient mortality.

I don’t respond to hypothetical red herrings. We’re talking about Obama here, not your strawman. Obama taught constitutional law, and if there is something we need badly, it is someone who understands how the government is supposed to be structured, and has a respect for the limits of government established by The Framers.

Obama has worked IN THE COMMUNITY and grew up in a middle to lower class environment. McCain has been insulated from reality all his life with the exception of five years that do not seem to have made him a better man.

the guy who barely graduated that has had plenty of patients who can speak for how well he did, plenty of referrals and plenty of peers who can vouch for his work?

Another hypothetical, since John McCain is the subject here, not your fictional superhero. Other than losing five Navy planes, cheating on his wife, letting Charles Keating invest his wife’s money, and lying or flip-flopping about virtually everything he talks about, what has McCain actually accomplished?

How did he vote on torture? (Aye) On the GI Bill? (He DIDN’T vote) On campaign finance reform, which even carries his name? (Nay) Invading Iraq? (Aye)

Says he doesn’t know much about economics, so he’ll lean on a guy who wrote the laws that brought down Wall Street, Phil Gramm.

Championed de-regulation in the ’80s that led to the Savings and Loan disaster, then having learned nothing, championed more de-regulation that led to the current crisis. Bragged about his opposition to regulation, until yesterday, when he said we didn’t have enough.

What is McCain’s most significant intellectual accomplishment? What is his most significant accomplishment of any kind that didn’t take place in North Vietnam and didn’t destroy millions of dollars worth of aircraft?

I still say smart guys are better presidents than dumb guys. Do you really want to argue that point?

Can you seriously contend that you’ve ever called a doctor you were considering and asked what his class rank was?

Do you know the old joke about what you call a doctor who finished last in his class?

What isn’t reflected in your excerpt is that the pranks and stunts posted to the 4chan site is primarily motivated by lulz. This doesn’t rule out partisan motives, but it’s still ridiculous to equate the work of an individual hacker going into a Yahoo account with full-scale, government-sponsored spying on private citizens.

And your original bit of sarcasm, suggesting that the image posted is insensitive when her “personal computer” got hacked, is still completely nonsensical.

Well that’s more of a response than that bit of whining deserved. On to finding Spain on the map. Can you see it from one of your houses?

Isn’t thst S.O.P. with the current Oval Office squatters?

I’m sorry, are they running for President or class president?

f you were choosing a physician to care for your mom, would you go with the guy from the top one percent of his class at the most prestigious school in the country, or go with the guy who got in by Affirmative Action and barely graduated?

For your Mom.

Magna Cum Laude at Harvard Law is overrated. Better we should have a legacy appointment to Annapolis who graduated in the bottom one percent of his class.

Aw crap. That means we’ve lost the egotistical-millionaires-with-bad-hairpieces vote.

I don’t, but he seems to get a lot of attention in liberal-land when he calls Bush a disaster.

Least qualified AND least experienced of all time? That’s quite a charge Jay. Please explain your reasoning.

I hope you don’t think Donald Trump has any real political sway.
