"Gollum McCain"
James Robbins has some fun with Maverick, and, in the process, provides some fascinating details about the provenance of some of Tolkien's inspiration.
I agree, Jeff. Obama or McCain, Sophie's choice. But I at least used to respect McCain... until he threw Sarah Palin under the bus, that is. He can take his criticisms and his advice and shove them where the sun don't shine.
Yeah, I had a hard time understanding why McCain would compare the TEA Party to Hobbits in such a denigrating fashion.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I realized.....it's because he looks at down to earth Americans with disdain.
I regret ever having to support this clown. But it was him or Obama -- not much of a choice.

ReplyDeleteLike so many who have remained in DC very long, McCain has become a kind of snob, especially about those who disdain government 'help'.
ReplyDeleteI think he has Saruman-ike tendencies.
And my neighborhood had people with names like Stubblefield and Starkweather.
Saruman...good analogy!
