Olds McCain is taking a break from complaining about the weather, his rheumatism, and the tricksy shifts in the world’s geography. Instead he’s bitching about the media’s “love affair” with Barry Obama. Some of his followers are also pissed that the liberal media are still liberal:

How can an antiwar candidate vote against the Bush Surge– a brave maneuver that saved the Middle East from catastrophe, the international community from economic turmoil, and America her reputation– then say he’d do it again after undeniable succes — and still get glowing remarks from the media?
What’s wrong with this picture?
Is it because he looks good in shades? What?

But maybe something else is going on, eh?

It is a shame that media outlets have overlooked the fact that McCain’s Iraq surge has saved America’s reputation from the depths it plummeted to during the reigns of national sexmonger Bill Clinton and President John Kerry, who started the Iraq War. It is also a shame that only one reporter showed up to McCain’s recent stop in New Hampshire, while Barry’s got a bevy of shrieking journalists vying for the chance to report on his shitting schedule (7:15 A.M., like clockwork, clean wipe, one square of tp, 2 minutes in and out). However this may not be due to a pro-liberal media bias, but instead to a bias that leans against boring old men who make for terrible presidential candidates.

In other words:

No matter how charismatic Obama is, there must be a reason that McCain is pushed aside. Why?
Probably because the media does not want to report on old white men that spew the same propaganda they have been hearing over the last 8 years. There is nothing exciting about “Stay the Course,” and they get no benefit from reporting on it, because no one thinks that is a good idea anyway.

But he should not be complaining. If McCain is going to win, it’s because he is not reported on. He has already made several dozen horrific mistakes that, if he had the same media coverage as Obama, he would have been called upon and look like a total idiot. Instead, when he fails to understand that there is no Iraq/Pakistan border, it is generally ignored in favor of the new kid on the block, and he gets to pretend it never happened.

When your campaign focuses on making your opponent look bad by drawing attention to how popular he is, you need to rethink your strategy. McCain should rethink his, to one of botox, skin darkening, and basketball practice. Perhaps enough voters will confuse the new, Halfrican McCain with Barry Obama, and then he can win some shit.
