I know, the seven, eight, nine, or ten houses he can't remember, his flip-flopping of issues, his calling his wife a pejorative that rhymes with "bunt", etc., all of these were supposed to be enough to finish him in the eyes of the public.
It's not.
What WILL do it, however, is if someone can get him on tape, flexing that muscular temper of his. You know, the one Barbara Boxer, Dick Durbin and Thad Cochran have all described as legendary.
So here is my proposal:
- Somebody needs to get McCain on film, blowing up, and blowing up in a big way. Sen. Boxer and Durbin both claim that this has happened on the very Senate floor, so it may actually be on film (C-SPAN air-checkers: got a line on some footage like this).
- Once obtained, it needs to be broadcast day and night. Youtube. Kos. You name it.
- Repeat 1 and 2. Once we get in on tape a first time, I imagine it will reoccur again and again.
We cannot count on the traditional press to provide the evidence. Their too busy McCain his donuts. It's up to us.
