I know this is hardly an original thought but it bears repeating. Can you imagine him at the table as POTUS negotiating some kind of international accord and blinking like crazy as he plans the next thing he’s going to say without paying attention to the conversation at hand? What a douche. He looked as if his head was going to explode for half of the last debate.
I am so looking forward to:
- Obama winning the election. There will be a sigh of relief across the world when this happens, because almost everyone outside of the US has always hated Bush as much as Americans finally seem to now (it sure took you all long enough)
- The ignominious self-destruction of the Republican party as they all totally lose it blaming the crap out of each other, the media and the American people.
- The fact that Republicans could lose to a black guy with a Muslim sounding name– it’s like a total repudiation of the xenophobia they have fomented over the last eight years.
- Political speeches where your president doesn’t feel obliged to point out that the US is unequivocally the greatest, free-est, best-est country in the world– that’s really insulting to ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD in case you hadn’t realized.
- The word elite losing some of its pejorative sting. It’s good to be elite… duh!
- Knowing that the person with the power to command a nuclear arsenal can also remember how to pronounce it (haha I’m being an elitist!)
- Simply knowing that the hideous Sarah Palin is NOT a mere heartbeat away from becoming President.
So I guess there will be egg on my face if McCain somehow wins from this position, but if he does then my embarrassment at being wrong will be the least of my concerns.
