This morning I was watching Bob Shieffer interview Karl Rove about Senator John McCain; I naturally wanted to know more about John, since he’s running to be President of my United States of America.
As it turned out, Karl’s answers were all about Barack Obama instead, and how Barack has nothing to offer. Shieffer didn’t seem to mind.
So I guess my time was wasted. All I know about John is that he crashed in Vietnam, was a POW who conducted himself admirably, got elected to the Senate, is married to a woman who inherited something over a hundred million dollars. And that he spent the last 4 years in lockstep with Bush and the conservative Republicans so he calls himself a maverick and a change agent. And doesn’t know anything about the Middle East or economics.
Karl could have taught me so much more.
