scathing political commentary
(Ganked from Christopher Hitchens in Slate)
about the presidential candidates...
"...the difference in character and temperament has become plainer by the day, and there is no decent way of avoiding the fact. Last week's so-called town-hall event showed Sen. John McCain to be someone suffering from an increasingly obvious and embarrassing deficit, both cognitive and physical. And the only public events that have so far featured his absurd choice of running mate have shown her to be a deceiving and unscrupulous woman utterly unversed in any of the needful political discourses but easily trained to utter preposterous lies and to appeal to the basest element of her audience."
(When I was watching Sen. McCain in the last debate, I was saying "Jeez, his arguments are SO simplistic!)
