do his meds need adjusting?
is he a pathological liar?
did someone shuffle his flash cards when he wasn't looking?
For each position you hire for, you find traits which are representative of the best perfomers within that position and create questions that ask for “detailed” responses that afterwards get scored based on accuracy and the candiadates actual impact on the situation/action. E.g. what doesn’t count is when people say “we” did this…
As John McCain would like me to interview him for the job, my question is as follows:
So often the GOP party references the foundational thought process of our Nation’s democracy. James Madison (a real “First Dude”) penned the following:
“The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.”
Mr McCain, given a state is investigating your choice of a VP for overstepping her use of governmental resources for potential personal reasons, can you describe a situation where you personally helped the government “oblige to control itself” and do you agree with SP’s early promise of transpanrency in the investigation? Character IS important.

I could be the stuff of tragedy, were McCain not revealed to be such a petty man.
Lear/Goneril '08.
(If it even needs to be said, I'm not wishing any ill on McCain. A sound defeat, yes.)
The journalist pressed him on his knowledge beyond normal the rhetoric the republicans are used to answering --- and he couldn't answer!
I see a trend slowly starting to build up. Journalists are starting to press.

Who do YOU want answering the phone at 3:00 AM? Me, I'd prefer the one that's not in a drug-addled haze, thanks! We can't ask foreign militants and natural disasters to wait until Preznit Sleepy-head's drugs wear off at 7:30 or 8:00.
does he ever shut up?
It was on here earlier, but now, each time I click on a link, it takes me to another link, but no clip.
I tried the google, but only got a 2:10 minute clip, not the whole thing as was posted here this morning.
Did they pull it?

Now this is why.....when you have a question or statement about Sarah Palin.....you should frame it around John McCain.....and not just focus on Sarah Palin.
example:
"Did John McCain know about the rape kits that Sarah Palin was charging?'
"Has John McCain ever charged for per diem staying in his own home like Sarah Palin did?"
"Does John McCain think Sarah Palin ACTUALLY sold the jet on E-Bay?"
It's a way of focusing on John McCain's "judgement" and "where-with-all"
It's like killing 2 birds with one stone...or one pig and one wolf...etc....
.
I hope tonight, Keith plays this clip tonight.....more than just 10 or 20 seconds....but a nice l o n g length....so you get the feeling of what sad shape McCain is in.
Their only hope now is to misdirect media attention.
Sad.
Hey the one's long time outa rehab and the one son hasn't punched a girl in a while...
The GOP is desperate to hang onto power to continue the cover up of the crimes of the Bush administration.
#1. That Alaska is an 'oil' state, so Palin knows about oil which is vital to our modern national security. (This would not be the case if Reagan had continued on with Carters energy policies, of course).
Palins knowledge about oil and energy, unfortunately, is limited to how much more 'welfare' she could provide to her constituents-"I will not stand in the way of the progress of our Congressional committee", etc. This knowledge is self interested, though, so she can stay in office by keeping the Alaskans rolling in oil benefit checks.
#2. Alaska IS close to Russia.
Thats it. Sarah Palins total experience on issues of national security.
She WILL PRAY about it, though! So there you go.
At least he didnt pull something out of his ass, and was able to keep on the talking point.
I wonder what drugs he is taking? Aricept?
Ok.... I live 1.5 hour drive from Mexico..... so I must be an expert too......I was stationed in Greece for three years..... does that make me an expert?
But at the same time, they'll demand that the media and critics go easy on McCain in the increasingly limited interviews & Q&A's McCain gives...because he is old. Best of both worlds for them - it's an attempt to curtail criticism on McCain for showing his advanced age while viciously attacking any reporter who dare broach the subject. But I mean, what's the big deal? It's only the presidency. Lighten up, you big girls.
Guarantee, if Obama makes mince meat of McCain in the debates like we all suspect he will, the right-wing attacks will be that Obama beat up an old man, and liked it. That is was too hard, and do you really want someone who's THAT much of a fighter ni the White House (after 8 years of insisting we NEED a real fighter in the White House).
The racist subtext will be less-than-subtle. Jerkholes like Hannity & Limbaugh won't equate it to a "mugging," because even they're not quite that dumb, but the lesser jerkholes, like Beck & Weiner/Savage, probably will, because they have no shame and they ARE that dumb.

Church attendance is among the lowest in the USA at 22%.
I think its because they live so close to those Godless commies in Russia.
If the only time McCain is halfway coherent is when he's angry, that sounds as good as a spouse or parent who is only abusive when s/he's sober. Instead of wondering why McCain doesn't try to manage his temper, we ought to consider whether he's using his anger to maintain his lucidity, and whether that can be any good for anyone.
"And, uh, she also happens to represent, be governor of a state that's right next to Russia. She understands Russia."
Sane people don't believe this, but, uh, it also happens that Republicans don't believe it. How do we know? McCain is from Arizona. Arizona is next door to Mexico. So by McCain logic McCain is the most knowledgeable person in America on Mexican immigration. But the GOP base not only rejected McCain's 'expertise-by-geographical-proximity' on the problem of illegal immigration through Mexico, but it made HIM reject his own position.
I've seen only briefly, once, the points made that:
1) Drilling. The oil companies don't need offshore drilling, they have litereally hundreds if not more areas inland that they have been given the right to drill on....that most likely contain oil. The point is...
2) The OIL companies don't WANT to drill for oil. At least didn't while the dollar was so low, because the more they get out of the ground the less it costs, and it is paid for in Dollars which also lost their value over the last two years. Meaning it is an investment to KEEP IT IN THE GROUND!
3) The biggest problem for the last many years is refinery capacity. We haven't built a refinery in years (decades?) and that is a bottleneck that would mean even if they hit a strike...so what, refineries are running to capacity now.
I'm not 100% sure on these points, from what I can tell, there is a good chance it is correct...so anyone know?
it's in their best interest to keep the number of refineries and the supply of gas where it currently is to maximize their profits. (have we really learned nothing about how oil and other corporations operate in these times of massive oil company profits? Every quarter to keep their shareholders happy, and their own pockets filled they have to beat the previous quarters numbers.)
it's really a simple supply and demand equation. Keep supply low and demand high and you can pretty much set your own price.
