#1 Maybe he's really running for Baseball Commissioner.

#2 MSM strategy: first, deny reality (Bush didn't win!). When above fails, then deny significance of reality (Bush doesn't have a mandate!). When above fails, change the subject (McCain in '08!!)

#3 Maybe he's really running for Baseball Commissioner.

Ed: Nahhhh, I think he's going for UN Ambassador slot recently vacated by John Danforth. Think of it... can you just imagine the look on Kofi Klepto's face the first time McCain takes the podium at the General Assembly and promptly goes into a spontaneous 'roid rage? :-D

#4 Come to think of it, Johnny McC really is starting to look more and more like Nikita Khrushchev (with better teeth)

#6 I can't believe this will make a difference in his chances in 2008. I mean, here he is screwing up a sport that's working perfectly well, and we still don't have hockey!

#7 Somewhere along the line, John seems to have missed out on taking any classes about the US government or Constitution. He's utterly confused and annoyed by those who don't want to do things his way, because he *says* so. "You don't seem to understand. I want everybody to do *this*. Why are you arguing with me? Do what I say!"

#8 Khrushchev looks a bit more chipper. But he too was a maverick. The MSM would love him today

#9 Sorry, John. Worrying about whether Barry Bonds head explodes before he's 50 is way down on my list.

#10 "I will bury you!"

"Damn it, where's my other shoe?"

"Is the camera getting all this?"

LIVESHOT!

#11 I'd trust Nikita before I'd trust McCain.

#12 Wonder what his wife thinks about people abusing drugs.
Ah, never mind.......

#13 Now, will Johnny RINO take off his shoe and bang it on the counter? We need actions like these, not simply Nikita gestures. Give us a shoe banging Johnny.

#15 "Doctor. You have testified that the following symptoms exist in ~~Sen. John McCain's~~ Lieutenant-Commander Queeg's behavior. Rigidity of personality, feelings of persecution, unreasonable suspicion, a mania for perfection, and a neurotic certainty that he is always in the right. Doctor isn't there one psychiatric term for this illness?"

#17 I dunno about the rest of youse, but I personally couldn't give a rat's ass about sports and steroids. The only game I like is hockey, and even then, it's the game itself that does it for me (I can watch any team, any league) and not any particular team(s) or player(s). If overpaid athletes want to sully their game, their team, and their reputations, go right ahead.

All that aside, I don't see why Sen. McCain feels a need to get involved. It's the various sports leagues' problem, so leave them alone to either either solve it on their own or fall by the wayside in the process.
