Not To Worry, Boss!
by sarabeth at 6:00 am on October 9th, 2008 in 2008 Presidential, St. John McCainIn a campaign rally today, John McCain referred to the American public as “my fellow prisoners“:
Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent.
Look, in all clarity and candor, he’s not senile. He’s not delusional. He just occasionally has flashbacks to the days when he was a POW in Vietnam.
Is that so bad in a President? He can’t really launch nuclear missiles all by himself, can he? Or just suddenly scream out comands to bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, and have them obeyed?
Someone else has to first certify that he has all his marbles at the time.
Don’t they?

Given john mccain’s bizarre behavior during the debate, and this strange “slip of the tongue” (which he didn’t correct), I’d say we are watching him slip into dementia. The stress of the campaign may be hastening the slide. Seriously, I’d look for sponge-like deterioration of brain mass around Wernicke’s area, prefrontal cortices, and the motor cortices on an MRI scan.
