Fire McCain’s Acting Coach

16. October 2008 by admin.

Who did the McCain campaign hire to teach John how to act on camera, William Shatner?

The bifurcated screen for last night’s debate was very unfortunate for the GOP nominee.  McCain spent most of the time looking wooden, and the rest angry.  He also came across as rude, continually interrupting and talking over Obama.  His carriage, demeanor and body language painted the picture of an unhappy man lashing out in anger.  Given the way world events have worked against his presidential run I can understand why John would be frustrated, but wearing his heart on his sleeve like he did last night just strengthened the arguments of his critics’ claims that he doesn’t have the temperament to be president.

Not that Obama did much better.  His sly smiles and aloof demeanor reinforced his image of being a snobbish elitist.

Side Note:  A lot has been written today about the amount of time McCain dedicated to William Ayers, the liberal peace loving terrorist of the 60’s.  I haven’t seen anything about McCain’s lack of support for ethanol subsidies.  This isn’t new news, but when a national candidate disses an issue this important to the Midwest (we may be fly-over states, but we still have electoral college votes) I would have expected to see someone mention it.

PBN: I just thought the seating arrangement last night was funny when juxtaposed on their presumed political leanings.
