Optics Matter

The McBushies need to learn a thing or two about visuals -- optics.

Senator John McCain hit back at Senator Barack Obama’s trip to Iraq on Monday when he scoffed at a news conference at the Maine vacation home of the first President Bush that Mr. Obama “had no military experience whatsoever'’ and that he was “completely wrong'’ on the war.

Obama? In Iraq solving tough problems created by incompetent Republicans.

McCain? In Kennebunkport vacationing with incompetent Republicans.

(Adding... Since when does military experience equal presidential quality? President Grant won the flippin' American Civil War, and yet he was a totally ineffectual president.)

"history taught past generations that military leaders who are successful in war are often brutal as well as stupid"

If you go read it, you might want to bring refreshments - it's long & kinda ponderous, but well written & thought-provoking.

It's almost as if he's working hard to lose. Either he's been told not to worry, that it's in the bag, or he's vacationing in Fantasy Land with W and Poppy and has no idea what's about to happen to him.

Pasty McGoo looks about 20 years older than poppy.
