Third - and Last - Debate
I was tired last night so I confess I wasn’t paying much attention to the words that either McCain or Obama were saying. But, when I did pay attention those words were quite familiar. So I gather they were treading familiar ground. As this campaign’s been going on in one form or another for two years now I have a hard time understanding why there are still undecided voters.
What I did notice was McCain’s Turette’s Syndrome grimaces and blinks and weird smiles. It was like he wanted to blow his stack but was barely restraining himself. Or perhaps it was that he knew he was lying and the cognitive dissonance was showing through on his face. He’s smart enough to realized what he’s traded from his reputation for this shot at the Oval Office.
The staffers that told him to make sure he smiled probably regret that now. McCain’s “smile” was as unnatural as boots on a frog. It would have been better if he’d let his face be more honest even if that meant a scowl.
