For those who don't remember, or are too young to have seen it, there is a very famous episode of the Brady Bunch where Jan Brady, who is not as pretty or popular as her sister Marsha, shows her frustration and jealousy by doing anything to be noticed, including lying(remember the non-existent boyfriend?) John McCain is behaving like a teenaged adolescent girl full of jealousy. It burns him up that Obama is better looking and better liked. No matter whether people agree with Obama or not, when he speaks, he may as well be EF Hutton because everyone listens! That is really getting to McCain.
He doesn't understand why he isn't liked more, after all He was a POW, he's been around a lot longer, and gosh darn it, people should like him more because of it. When Barack is around, he is invisible...poor, poor Jan McCain...oops, John McCain...He is so frustrated with the Man that is Barack Obama, that he is resorting to wallowing in the muck just to be noticed.
