It really is beautiful. McCain’s going to win, isn’t he?

Well, zz, are you not acquainted with all internet traditions, e.g. Rickrolling?

The last few weeks have made me think (a) McCain won’t really win; (b) but if he does, it’ll much worse than I thought it would be in, say, March.
Question, purely hypothetical: would it be funny or lame if a band engaged in live rickrolling in the middle of a song, then returned to business as usual after a few measures?

Because of the actuarial probability of Prexy Palin?

Eric: No, because McCain’s willingness to just make shit up and to look presidential by escalating conflicts wasn’t yet on full display. Maybe I should have known how bad he’d be, but I didn’t. The Palin pick is the icing on the cake, though. I would be less bothered if he literally *did* piss on my shoes.

Making fun of the man’s incontinence is ageist, Neddy.

That’s between him and his colostomy bag.

Question: is McCain actually incontinent?
I think he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, so the answer is: barely.

Gives a whole new meaning to “ICBM.”

I shouldn’t. Really. I shouldn’t. I won’t.
Okay, I will.
As in “ICBM in a pouch on your hip, Senator. Is that an InContinential Balloon of Manure?”
I’m very sorry.
