Born at the Crest of the Empire: Picture of the Day

But it's not Vietnam, right?

(PS: McCain is skipping the Senate's Iraq vote. On his schedule over the long weekend, courting the religious right in Iowa on Saturday, preaching abstinence to teens in South Carolina on Sunday, and on Monday, a "meet and greet" with Jerry Falwell at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention.

I think I'm going to have to bring back the "kneepads" nickname.)

John McCain does a great Bob Dole impersonation, doesn't he.

That's pretty cold, but I have a soft spot for the third person Dole.

He's accurate in his comparison between Tet and the Surge, but I am disappointed that he's not going on record with a vote to back up his statement.

But I can't say I'm surprised...

At least there's no question of him being able to run away from the position.
