End of the Line, Sonny Jim, Game's Up

Oh Pinky Jesus, did I just quote a line from Jumaji? Jubejeyedid.

John McCain. What a piece of work that guy is. He's a liar. Oh yeah. He's opportunistic. Remember when running for president involved a commitment to the American people? Remember when executive officers considered themselves civil servants? John McCain wants to be president to satisfy his ego. Much like George Bush, with whom he voted over 90 percent of the time. That 90 percent would also include some pretty hefty spending bills. Do you think a bunch of K Street lobbyists are pulling all-nighters to help McCain, just to be out of work if his "maverick" presidency goes through with eliminating their positions? It's all crap. And what about his war record? He crashed three times (I have a better record as a pilot) and then spent all of his active combat time as a prisoner of war? What REAL combat experience does he have outside of a tiger cage? Not too much. My friend said that before the debates McCain would try to defenestrate himself. My response was: "If he couldn't free himself from a bamboo cage, what makes you think he could throw himself through a window." Yes, I'll go there. I'll attack his service record. Of course, his "heroic" service record includes a massive POW/MIA cover up. And his family values include leaving his cancer ridden wife for a wealthy beer heiress. God, all things considered, watching McCain's campaign is like something out of Guy Maddin's "The Saddest Music in the World." But, you know, without a really sexy woman, an interesting story line, and a dreadful moment of self realization.

So anyway, I had to sit through the debate watching McCain laugh and lie as Obama dragged the truth of his service into the light, especially in regard to McCain's flawed judgment about the Iraq War. Here's a video that backs up every one of Obama's claims.
