John McCain is toast

MANIFESTO

... and Kevin Drum explains why.

Honestly, I can't believe these morons (and Saint John and Holy Joe are the two worst perpetrators) who somehow think that by stating something outrageous it'll somehow come true. We've had over six years of this kind of Tinkerbelle mindset in the executive branch; we sure don't need any more of it in the legislative branch.

Does McCain actually think he can persuade the three-quarters of Americans who finally want to get this hideous invasion behind them that sticking around any longer is a good thing? That some kind of progress is actually being made? As Drum asks, just how stupid does McCain think we are?

It's telling that the only images of the celebrated walk through the market are stills. Had the ambulation been filmed, the sounds of the five aircraft safeguarding the Senator would've surely drowned out any optimistic commentary by the tourist.
