When thinking of John McCain and his atrocious campaign, what words come to mind? I ask this question, because in another diary, someone quoted Andrew Sullivan's description of McCain as a "despicable, lying utterly cynical politician."
I liked that description, but I thought Sullivan failed to fully capture the failure that John McCain has been on the campaign trail.
So, I want to ask all of you - what words would you use to describe McCain and his despicable, lying utterly cynical character and campaign?
Here are some words I came up with:
In addition to being a despicable, lying and utterly cynical politician, I think John McCain is:
- reckless,
- impulsive,
- crass,
- dangerous,
- unethical,
- greedy,
- morally bankrupt,
- simple-minded,
- egotistical,
- bombastic,
- shallow,
- disengenuous,
- selfish and self-serving
- eccentric (and not in a good way)
Others came up with:
- erratic
- pathetic
- pitiful
What other words come to mind? I'm hoping that if we come up with a good list, it could be very helpful for people writing diaries or stories about McCain. And hopefully, if certain words resonate, they may enter the MSM and help frame and expose McCain for the fraud that he is. Oh, fraud, that's another one.
