John McCain

McBush Bot

Paddy posted a revealing Today Show inteview with Meredith Viera and Senator McCain. Watch it, and come back and tell me that he's not a ticking time bomb. His sing-songy contained rage is palpable. But the other thing to note is that his media coaching isn't going very well -- on several occasions he kept talking even though Viera was asking a follow-up. Usually, the guest will stop halfway through or at least say 'let me finish'. But McBush Bot kept talking as if by rote. Creepy. I am McBush Bot! Beep-boop-beep!

UPDATE: McBush Bot also suffered a malfunction:

"I think it's serious. . . . It's a serious situation, but there's a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border."

Foreign policy experience! McBush Fever! Catch it!
