The Clincher

As I said yesterday, see The Real October Surprise?, I've wondered whether John McCain is intentionally trying to throw the election. After all, who would want to take over the godawful mess that George W. Bush has left the country (nay, the world) in?

Last night, Jay Leno, of NBC's "Tonight" show, clinched it for me. As he observed:

At a rally today in Virginia, they played the theme to `Rocky' as John McCain walked on to the stage. Does John McCain seem like Rocky to you? Doesn't he seem more like Burgess Meredith's character?


Why would McCain want to be like Rocky? Did you see the movie? Didn't Rocky get the hell kicked out of him by the black guy?

Need I say more??
