Idiot of the Day - John McCain (From Hero to Zero)

John McCain is testing the waters for another presidential run.  Tell me you’re surprised.  Then, tell me why anyone should ever vote for him?  He rips on Bush, then kisses his ass, then rips on him, then kisses his ass.  He flip-flops more than I do when I have too many drink choices at Starbucks and can’t decide which one to choose, only I’m choosing a drink and he’s trying to decide international policy.  How anyone could withstand years of torture as a P.O.W., then be a coward when standing up to the Bush Administration, I’ll never know.  What I do know is, neither Republicans nor Democrats can trust him now.  Leigh-Ann and I were discussing who we’d like to see run in 2008, other than Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (or Oprah & Gayle) - we’ve decided on Al Gore and John Edwards.  Al Gore no longer needs to win, so he can loosen up, be himself and help us save the world.  John Edwards has a Southern accent and is kind of schoolboy charming, if you like that sort of thing.  It doesn’t do that much for me, but I like him okay enough.  I like his wife better, but she isn’t a choice.  I definitely do not like Hillary Clinton (too much sucking up to Republicans), although I do like the idea of a woman president.  Perhaps Geena Davis - she made awesome strong decisions on “Commander in Chief”, decisions you would like your president to make.  Sure, the lines were written for her, but most of Bush’s lines are written for him too, but Rod Lurie makes a better speechwriter than whoever is writing for Bush.

1. If we get to nominate celebrities, can I have Martin Sheen from The West Wing? Or maybe CJ?

   I definitely do like Hillary but I hope and pray she won’t get the nomination because she’s too despised by too many people to actually get elected, or so I fear.  John McCain used to have a dangerous amount of cross-over appeal, but maybe that’s changing.  I’d like to see Barak Obama on a ticket.  Shoot, I’d vote for him for president based on what I know so far.  Is Gore still saying he won’t run again?  Because Gore/Edwards, that would be a good ticket.  I never lost any respect for Al Gore.  i’m just rambling on here.  . .
