John McCain may be the worst thing that happened to John McCain this century. It started in 2000 when 'The Maverick' campaigned so poorly he lost the Republican nomination to a guy who seemingly uses English as a second language (W's first language being Jibbenglish). Thanks to McCain's failure the American people have been subjected to two stolen elections and eight years of, well let's just call it National Poop. By 2006 Duuuhhh-bya had made such a mess that the Democrats couldn't help but seize control of the House and Senate. This lead to two years of a lame duck in the White House and a flock of lame ducks in Congress butting heads like lame Duuuuhhhcks do. By the time 2008 rolled around McCain had been beating himself for eight years. Say what you will about the economic crash doing him in, I don't buy it, I can't afford it. We were already in a recession despite what the former owner of the Texas Rangers said. The bottom was going to fall out and if anything the crash was appropriately timed.
During his concession speech Johnny Maverick admitted that the failing of his presidential run was his own. I can only hope he understands that it was his failing eight years ago that lead to this current one. Oh, and thanks for introducing the world to Sarah Palin, one more headache I'm sure isn't going away anytime soon.
