I thought I'd seen it all.
Today John McCain - former POW and proclaimed war hero - rolled himself into a fetal position and began to whimper like a 2-year-old child who missed both naptime AND the cookie break.
This is ridiculous.
We must call it what it is: WEAKNESS. This kind of weakness :
Last week, John McCain said, 'The fundamentals of our economy are strong.'
Today, John McCuckoo is hanging from a lightpole wearing polka-dot undershorts, disheveled and unshaven, screaming inanities at the top of his lungs at passers-by down below while holding up a sign saying THE END IS NEAR.
Is he afraid he's going to fall backwards off the stage this Friday night ?
As CNN's Jack Cafferty said, this is a Senator who hasn't cast a vote in Washington in nearly 6 months.
He admits he knows diddly-squat about the economy yet wants to charge in like some parachuting stuntman on crack. Leaders in Congress may want to consider changing the locks on the Capitol and calling Security to keep him out.
Meanwhile, he SUSPENDS HIS CAMPAIGN - I've only heard that phrase used when people drop their presidential bids - and asked Obama to do the same, which Obama of course basically laughed off.
The polls yesterday and today show McCain's campaign sinking like the Titanic.
Joe Biden said, 'I'm ready, Barack's ready, the country's ready.'
Amend that: McCain's not ready. Palin's not ready. Neither of those clowns is ready to debate, much less lead the country. They are both walking punchlines.
Laura Bush today even said Palin has no foreign policy experience.
In 2000 I actually had respect for McCain. Now he has become a complete joke. He is WEAKNESS personified.
Instead of running for the White House, perhaps McCain and Palin ought to apply to become contestants on Hell's Kitchen and try their best under the watchful eye of Chef Ramsey.
McCain could give former contestant Aaron, who had several crying-jag meltdowns, a run for his money.
Chef Ramsey needs to call McCain and tell him now that he's suspended his campaign he can't come back.
