  • I expect these to be all over the internet soon, and animated on YouTube, to bolster the case of the 'McCain is a strange old coot' crowd.

    Oh, wait - McCain IS a strange old coot...

  • I've seen a gif already, but the definition isn't very good because the TV cameras were in a wide shot.

    I also think that if you're reaction to a debate is to stick your tongue out in mock exhaustion.....

  • Maybe it is a subconscious appeal to Stones fans.

    This is the kind of thing that comedians love to pick up and make part of the candidate's "personality".

  • I continue to be struck by the lack of a flag McCain's lapel now that they got Obama to put one on his. It always says to me, "Neeny, neeny, we made you do it."
    As for McCain's post debate behavior there was a wonderful moment when Obama gently escorted his wife off the stage that was followed by McCain going ahead of Cindy to bounce down the stairs leaving her to carefully descend the stage stairs by herself. The camera was on it the whole time and it was not pretty.

  • Todd, Or repressed Larry Craig supporters?

    And, you don't escape stuff like this. This kind of image gets too much play and creates the image as you say.

    .....

    Anon, Especially since McCain is wrapping himself in the flag as a "true American."

    And, I didn't see that exit moment, but it does seem to fit into my perception of their relationship.
