...as the Senator from Meet the Press. You have to admit, he sure loves appearing on those Sunday morning talk shows! And the shows must love having him. Either that or they just can't find anyone else who loves to hear himself talk so much that he's willing to get up early on his day off, put on a coat and tie and drive downtown to the studios. I have to admit I thought things would be a little different after his disastrous performance in the 2008 election. You know, the almost obsessive preoccupation with all those Mickey Mouse earmarks while the economy teetered on the brink of another Great Depression; the irrational determination to make the Iraq War an even greater quagmire than Vietnam; and finally the impulsive and truly irresponsible selection of the least qualified running mate in history. Shouldn't he do us all a favor and just apologize and retire, or at least go to church or brunch or play golf on Sunday mornings? But no, McCain just can't seem to stay away from the camera, no matter how silly he sounds sometimes. Just this past week, he told George Stephanopoulos that it was Ted Kennedy's absence that was holding up health care reform. (Never mind Republican intransigence.) To a guy who's made a career out of being More Patriotic Than Thou, I say "Please John--for the sake of your country--go away for a while."
