sedated.  Between that, and his soporific repetition of Bush talking points, he sounded like a man "in the last throes" of losing his soul.

I agree that McCain's reputation as a straight-talking maverick is based on memories of 2000. That guy is long gone.  I hope McCain makes many more appearances like the one on Eat the Press today.  

Of course, after six years of kissing Bush's ass despite the smears perpetrated upon him by the Bush administration during the 2000 primaries, I'd feel tired and defeated too. Not to mention humiliated, embarassed,...

Our bedroom is equipped with two TV's, his and her's. [BTW this is the secret behind 31 years of marriage, take note newly weds!]

It was interesting watching John McCain on MTP, on one set, and Chuck Hegel on FTN on the other and at the same time. While the rest of the world wouldn't see this as a debate between these two... in my unique situation... I did!  

While Hegel might have the bigger bags under his eyes... chicken neck McCain looked too tired and ill equipped to handle his current job let alone that of the President.

Definitely the turtle vs the hare... the worst TV appearance since Nixon debated Kennedy!

Tim had John under the gun too and I about rolled out of bed laughing when he played MoveOn.org's TV commercial where John is practically sucking "w" off.. what a hoot!

Neither of these boys can beat whoever will emerge from our pack... BUT if I were McCain... I would be content to retire to Sun City, AZ because as I see it he has to much Iraq baggage to even beat out Hegel!
