A Basket Case in the Oval Office?

Okay, now I'm starting to get scared.

Hillary Clinton's comeback victory in Ohio and Texas have greatly increased the likelihood that the Democratic nomination battle between her and Obama will come down to a fractious (and for many Dem voters, ultimately alienating) convention, which in turn may well increase the chances of a John McCain victory in November.

And while it's bad enough that we may wind up with another old whitey-white guy with a raging hard-on for war and his hand in the pocket (and who knows where else) of multiple corporate lobbyists, what's really freaking me out is that ever-enlarging lump on McCain's jaw. I have this sneaking suspicion that said ball of flesh will is already whispering orders to Mr. "Straight-Talk," and will eventually be anointed as his running mate at the Republican convention. After that, the fix will truly be in — once McCain wins the Presidency, the lump will separate from his face (no doubt killing or otherwise incapacitating McCain in the process) and take over the White House on its own terms...

Maverick, shmaverick — are you ready for President Belial?

McCain scares me. But then again so do Hilary and Obama...

An angry mound of deformed white flesh scares me too, Greg. Unless he's had the most amazing anger management training (read: Klonopin), he's due to completely flip his wig over something Limbaugh says in the next week or two.

Nobody can withstand 5 years of torture and be "normal" afterwards. Manchurian Candidate? We'll see I guess.
