John McCain Obsequious on Letterman
I haven’t Posted here for the past THREE days. Whether it is because I am burned out and have nothing more to say, or just burned out on the election “season” I am not at all certain. And, why do we even say “season”? It goes on and on and on….
So, today, some random mentions:
I saw John McCain on Letterman. He was apologetic, sometimes nearly ….obsequious! Letterman was nearly ….apoplectic! He likes McCain personally and can’t believe McCain was so unable to see that Sarah Palin was a poor choice. Letterman is outraged at the mess the country is in and he clearly blames the Bush Administration.
Obsequious: flattering, toadying, submissive, sycophantic, fawning. Apoplectic: enraged, furious, spitting mad, seething, beside himself.
Note: Obsequious is not “presidential.” A shameful performance.
Missing from the national television airwaves in recent days and weeks:
Cindy McCain; quiet, stoic, embarrassed?
stoic: showing admirable patience and endurance in the face of adversity without complaining or getting upset.
Joe Lieberman; not quiet, not stoic, embarrassed?
Todd Palin…wow, McCain thinks his snowmobile races and particularly his finishing one with a broken arm somehow reflects on Sarah’s qualities.
The guy who knocked up Palin’s daughter, and the daughter too. Missing from national television and we are all grateful, I believe. Does anyone expect that they will really get married after the campaign is over? Well….if they could get married in the White House….
I guess I am pretty much burned out. Period. I’m not even in the mood to take on the “economic crisis” topic today. Perhaps next week.

I hear you.. it’s an everyday struggle though, and someone has to do it.
Yeah I thought the conversation about hubby’s accomplishments being part of the skill set of a VP was a bit weird too! Daughter could get married now, not as if she’s going to be less pregnant in a couple of months time, and as the father of her child isn’t even enlightened enough to have registered to vote, it’s not as if he’s going to spend the time between then and now in deep mediative thought about who to vote for. Although between insulting people, inciting racist behavior and appearing on SNL mother-of-the-bride’s a bit busy!
