Could anything be more suitable to describe the current state of the GOP and its right-wing nuttery than a limp, discolored, porous little white bag, drained of its potency and shriveled into insignificance?

Welcome to the Ceiling Cat edition of the pootie diary, which I am guest hosting today thanks to the generosity of our founding host triciawyse. As you may have noticed, recent events have called unusual attention to the pootie diaries. Indeed, the ferociously eloquent Cookie's recent call for a pootie revolution and declaration of teh Nine Pootie Principles, enshrined in Ekaterin's terrifying call to action Attenshun, Humanz! Pooties Surroundz You!, seems to have followed the shock of realizing (presumably from reading StateofGrace's impassioned Defense of the Pootie Diaries) that pooties might not, in fact, be considered by everyone to be the center of the Daily Kos universe.

The AP is reporting from a McCain speech in Harrisburg, PA that in response to Biden's comments about presidents inevitably being "tested in a crisis," McCain claims that he has already undergone such testing, and in the exact same context as JFK--the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nothing that McCain has ever said has reminded me more forcefully that he is 72 years old. I can't imagine that reminding voters that the crisis you faced was 46 years ago is a winning argument that will inspire voter confidence.

Last week I took my 94 year old mother to the polls in Cleveland to cast her early vote for Obama. She moved to Ohio a few years ago after living the previous 65 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she was very excited to have lived long enough to cast her vote for the first African American president, and to be able to cast it in a battleground state. In the car on the way back we were giddy and exuberant, so once I got home I decided to celebrate our joint sense of excitement by writing some silly political poetry, inspired by John Cleese's recent "Ode to Sean Hannity". My Odes to Sarah Palin and John McCain are below the fold.
