Ok, I watched last night's final debate and really didn't take a lot away that I didnt' already know. McCain tried his best to goad Obama into losing his temper and acting unpresidential...didn't work. Obama must have ice water in his veins...the kinda guy I want with his finger on the nuke button.
McCain however seemed to be doing his best to practice what they taught him in his Anger Management classes. I could swear he was forcing himself to smile (more on that dastardly smile later) so hard he nearly busted a gut! He was seething and didn't do a good job of masking his intense dislike for Senator Obama. I could tell he was silently counting to ten, saying the alphabet backward and memorizing his grocery list...anything to refrain from jumping up and choking the #%$ out of Barack, lol.
Everytime Senator McCain smiled that bezerk, mad-scientist grin, I got a flashback to Jack Nicholson in The Shining! He looked like he was plotting a masacre while trying to appear pleasant and gracious...all while getting ready to blow up the building! Don't thnk I want him walking around with the nuke codes in his back pocket...he may forget his Metamucil one morning and...bang! he decides to bomb Canada. And the rest of the night when he wasn't displaying that diabolocal smile, I just kept thinking Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men...
I don't think he did anything to help himself in any of the three debates. Each time he seemed more irritated, like he needs to eat more fiber. Each time he showed America that he really is a frustrated, foul-natured man who wouldn't be much fun in the White House. More importantly, he has displayed that he does not have the temprament to be President. I think that came through loudly and clearly to most who viewed the debates. Hopefully they will remember that image on November 4th...

ABM, I enjoy your Blogs. I agree with your thoughts regarding the last debate. Which actually would apply to the other 2 as well. I wonder if he has ever considered anger management? Or at least practicing debating in the mirror before going on national t.v.? There was a time when I considered McCain a great option (2000) that guy has left the building and the new guy and gal have arrived and they are pretty scary. Keep up the good work, I enjoy it.
Thanks Samantha for your kind words and I hope you will continue to follow ABM. I too thought McCain2000 was a good choice...I mean I really used to admire him for his political, physical and moral courage. I am greatly disappointed in McCain2008...I mean where did all that character go?
Is he truly willing to sell his very soul to win? To resort to race baiting and outright lying! Yes he needs a real good therapist...hope he finds one after the election.
much love,
ABM
Ben, with all that has been going on this week have you not found any of it interesting enough to blog about???
Wardrobe Malfunction
Attack of the McCain worker
Joe McCain
John McCain himself
Hey Samantha, yes there's been so much I wanted to blog about, but I had the week from hell at work and am just recovering. I am humbled that you look forward to my rantings..and i promise to deliver :)
Ben,
Here’s Johnny is spot on! Loved your reference to Jack Nicholson in the Shining and Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men… they really made me laugh. This election has given us all much to write about... if we dare. I am sure that there will be more material for us to draw upon after the election. I have enjoyed reading your postings and look forward to hearing what’s on your mind.
Much love,
Trish
I LOVE the shining pic and movie references. Hilarious!!!
I watched the debate and I could swear McCain had vaseline on his teeth (an old beauty contest trick used to keep that smile in place)
I love that smile of his. its very cheshire cat.. perhaps he'll smile larger and then just disappear.
I hope thats the exact same smile I see on Nov 4.
great blog.
Tanya
Thanks Tanya, hope you'll come back and endure my rantings again :)
You hit the nail right on the head Ben, with the Shining references. He couldn't be more transparent if he tried, and all the while it was pissing me off, I had to remind myself that it was a GOOD thing for those of us who don't want him in Office. Keep on with that fake smile and calling everyone "my friends" every thirty seconds as his script directed him to!! We'll see that emaciated smile disappears on November 4th! Great post!
