I think Sen. John McCain has finally lost it.

While Sen. Barack Obama has been overseas tearing up crowds, looking Presidential, and making utterly reasonable foreign policy announcements, Sen. McCain has been blathering on about the "success" of "The Surge" in Iraq, mumbling in Captain Queeg-like incoherence about Sen. Obama missing The Surge and how McCain was for The Surge before The Surge was a twinkle in Pres. Bush's eye, and otherwise carrying on about The Surge while the Iraqs have politely told us to GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY--PLEASE!

So, I've taken Humphrey Bogart's famous solioquy from The Caine Mutiny, re-written it, and recast Capt. Queeg as Sen. McCain.

Captain Queeg: Ahh, but The Surge that's... that's where I had Obama. He laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the Iraq maproom DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled McCain out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow Democrats...
