Declaring that "the era of the permanent campaign would be over and the era of problem solving would begin" if he were the president, John McCain gave a deadly boring ... sorry, meaty, substantive speech this morning, promising Americans everything from a chicken in every pot to a Democrat in every cabinet position.
McCain said that upon becoming president, he would indeed put Democrats into his administration, win the Iraq war in four years, channel Tony Blair or Gordon Brown in Prime Minister's Questions sessions with Congress, only he wouldn't be the prime minister ... restore the Constitutional presidency and end terrorism as we know it. (No word on poverty, want or sin...) Saint John would end America's practice of seeing the other political party as an enemy, rather than a compatriot, and inspire every young person to make volunteerism, not bling, their life's dream. Because He IS, upon ascension to the White House, he would cause Republicans and Democrats to lie down together like lambs (which would take much less of a toll on Senator Craig's stance,) and to dine and drink together after each long day on Capitol Hill. Thus would he render all human conflict and suffering obsolete, with a wave of his mighty arms ... okay, maybe not a wave, so much as a grimace...
And he would do all of that, as soon as he's finished convincing voters that Barack Obama is the candidate of Hamas ...
