Will that work? You betcha!

McCain should stop unveiling gimmicky proposals every couple of days that pretend to deal with the financial crisis.

Part of Kristol’s gimmicky proposal is that McCain stop unveiling gimmicky proposals. Will that work? You betcha!

Having already taken Kristol’s advice to devastating effect, he is now being told -- by Kristol -- to do something else and stop listening to those responsible. It’s practically a logic puzzle. Or an illogic puzzle given the parties involved. This is a tough spot for McCain.

As in "no more ads, spend all the money on town-hall-meetings"? These people don't seem to get it that the only reason the "town-hall-meetings" worked in the primaries was because McCain ran against the universally despised Mitt "The Nit" Romney. I suspect that a "series of strip-poker parties" would have also worked against Romney. Hey, guys, sorry to break it to U, but McCain really sucks at town hall meetings.

Peace over war, prudence over debt, empathy over selfishness. It’s not that complicated.

Would it take some sort of topological contortions unavailable in four-dimensional spacetime? Can you be more wrong than when you're so wrong that you're even wrong about admitting that you were wrong about something you were actually wrong about? Wrong starts to lose objective meaning with this idiot. Like the sound and spelling of the word "lawn-mower" repeated forty times too often in a row, the sheer familiarity makes it seem out of place and uncomfortable, though it is the only possibility. It would be nice if I could wish for some benign roadblock to stanch any further output from this walking bag of gummy lighthouses, but since I can't, I'l just continue hoping that he gets hit by a bus.
