As if what Bush and Cheney did to America over the last eight years was not enough of a tragedy, here’s what McCain and Palin’s America looks like:

So we have McCain today getting his crowd riled up asking who Barack Obama is and then apparently giving a wink and a nod when one member of the crowd screams out “terrorist.”

And later we have Sarah Palin with the same mob racket, getting members of the crowd to yell out “kill him”, though it’s not clear whether the call for murder was for Bill Ayers or Barack Obama. It didn’t seem to matter.

These are dangerous and sick people, McCain and Palin. Whatever it takes. Stop at nothing.

I’m not smart enough to know the answer to this series of questions:
— If a vice-presidential candidate incites a mob to chant “kill him”, and it’s not clear to anyone whether she and they mean Barack Obama or Bill Ayers, then is the Secret Service detail charged with protecting Obama’s life duty-bound to take in said vice-presidential candidate for questioning?
— If so, and if she tries to fob them off with a wink and a sashay, or if she answers all questions with a blizzard of gobbledygook, or if she pulls a high-and-mighty and refuses to answer questions, are they duty bound to arrest her?
— Or at least tap her phone?

There are simply no words for the depths that John McCain and Sarah Palin have already sunk to. And we still have four weeks to go. The mind reels.

How could they possibly sink any lower? And yet anyone with a pulse and half a brain knows that the one given is that they bloody well will.

These people who are working for McCain’s campaign, and these people who in all innocence volunteered to help elect the Republican candidate for president, surely they didn’t bargain for these unspeakable abominations, this sheer despicable madness? Surely it occurs to them at some level: “How are we going to be able to live with ourselves if we don’t get out even now?”

McCain is not the only one who’s going to have to confront, in November, the painful ugly question of whether losing his soul and his honor was worth it.

So how come McCain’s campaign staff and volunteers are not bailing out in droves?

Does nobody associated with the McCain campaign have higher ethical/moral standards than McCain? Or let me rephrase that: how come everybody associated with the McCain campaign doesn’t have higher ethical/moral standards than John McCain?
