McSenile as stupid and vacuous as Bush

"I am sick and tired of the president of the United States embarrassing me." CNN's Jack Cafferty comments on McCheater's interview with his good buddy Pastor Whatever (who doesn't seem to be a very good pastor):

It occurs to me that John McCain is as intellectually shallow as our current president. When asked what his Christian faith means to him, his answer was a one-liner. "It means I'm saved and forgiven."

I thought that's what being a Former Prisoner of War© meant?

Great scholars have wrestled with the meaning of faith for centuries...

One after another, McCain's answers were shallow, simplistic, and trite. He shows the same intellectual curiosity that George Bush has -- virtually none.

Where are John McCain's writings exploring the vexing moral issues of our time? Where are his position papers setting forth his careful consideration of foreign policy, the welfare state, education, America's moral responsibility in the world, etc., etc., etc.?

John McCain graduated 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. His father and grandfather were four star admirals in the Navy. Some have suggested that might have played a role in McCain being admitted. His academic record was awful. And it shows over and over again whenever McCain is called upon to think on his feet.

He no longer allows reporters unfettered access to him aboard the "Straight Talk Express" for a reason. He simply makes too many mistakes.
