I actually enjoy watching the pundits on my teevee trying to figure out why John McCain is acting like a far-right nutjob with anger problems. A lot of us told y’all that John McCain was a guy with absolutely no principles who had anger problems.
I like watching these clowns figure out that McCain is a hack. It’s fun to see them discuss the fact that McCain was never really a social moderate. But it’s a little tiresome that they insist on believing that something changed. McCain may be a little more angry and have a few more grudges, but nothing has changed. He’s always been a deeply damaged individual who is more interested in settling scores than in helping anyone. John McCain wants power so he can blow some shit up and make his enemies feel the full measure of his wrath. He wanted Sarah Palin so he could look at her ass on the campaign trail. He’s really not a complicated man. He never was. He was a brat before he was captured. After he was set loose he was merely a brat with a sympathetic story he could use to trade-up in wives and launch a political career.
The best way to think about John McCain is with contempt. It doesn’t matter what he is saying this week. All that matters is that he makes the right people angry. So, no START Treaty for you!
