What is it good for?

A metaphor:
Bush is like a man who is dealt two kings in blackjack (after 9-11) when the dealer is showing a nine, doubles down instead of playing his winner hand, gets two twos, and continues to double down over and over and over until he loses his family's life savings and insurance policy. Kristol, Krauthammer, and Kaplan, et al, are like the Vegas floozies with fake boobs telling him what a big man he is the whole time, stroking his thighs while picking his pockets ... (Oh, and John "Maverick" McCain is the long-suffering wife ...)

So true. There's really nothing we can do about the madness of Boy George at this point, but we need to document St. McCain's shameful behavior and toss it back in his face next year, no matter how much the press tries to anoint him.
