Anyone notice McCain grinning from ear to ear during the photo op today? |
|
Everyone else in the room looked serious...while bush supposedly told them "this sucker could go down"..but there you have McCain looking like he's at a birthday party...very telling, sinister, and not quite normal in my opinion...

1. He uses a modified cattle prod . . . |
|
To send a 25,000 v jolt through his facial muscles and trigger the patented "creepy rictus" (tm).
Not entirely sure why. Just McCain being McCain, I guess.

4. I'm beginning to think McCain is simply a drama King. |
|
Forget this maverick business, all he wants is adulation and attention.

5. Per this WaPo article, perhaps? |

I'm hoping the "stunt" meme has really taken over. Hard to tell from where I sit, but it looks that way. In any case -- Eugene Robinson: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/25/AR2008092503603.html

I guess I'm not the only one noticing McCain's bad behavior.
I was simply thinking of Obama's edict on "no drama" and realizing McCain is Obama's opposite.

10. dkf, I think you have hit it. Have often thought he was just |
|
an attention addict. As for "maverick" and Hero--give me a break. He was shot down and imprisoned . Had poor medical care ect. But he suffered no more than many did, in that war. Some were prisoners much longer than he. What did he do to earn the title hero ? I am so sick of hearing those two words used to describe him. He is a sick old man and is sliding into senility.

11. My first thought? What the hell are you smiling about? |
|
I realize that he and Cindy have enough money to survive, no matter what happens. But if he truly gave a shit or even began to understand, he would have realized that nothing occurring now warrants a huge grin.

12. Yes, I noticed. It was when the press was leaving the room at the very beginning. |
|
Obama and everyone else was very serious. McCain was giggling and smirking.

13. He's senile or he's had a stroke. |
|
My grandfather did a lot of odd grinning after his stroke.
