Cenk On McCain: An Old Boxer Who Has Been in One Too Many Fights

[ihavenobias]

By Cenk Uygur

John McCain on Wednesday night delivered the worst performance in a debate I have ever seen. I would call it sad, even pathetic, but it was so bad that I feel guilty about pointing it out too forcefully.

McCain looked like an old boxer who had been in one too many fights. You wanted to pull him from the ring. The whole time I was thinking, "Who let him get into this fight?" Don't you have a conscience? Throw the towel. Throw the towel!

The weird, angry, desperate attacks were punctuated by uncomfortable sighs and eye rolls. It was a train wreck. I literally averted my eyes on a couple of occasions.

The numbers back up what I thought I witnessed tonight. It was a bloodbath. CBS had uncommitted voters going to Obama 53 to 22. CNN had Obama winning overall 58 to 31. He nearly doubled him. I've never seen that before.

After all those punches, Obama's favorability still stood at a rock solid 66 percent. McCain had whiffed on every desperate jab. And at the end of the night, when voters were asked who is more likeable -- a key to winning an election -- it was Barack Obama at 70%. McCain was at a sad, sad 22%...(For the rest, click the link at the top of this post)

1. Dead On but..

The pundit commentary afterward was very gracious to McCain. I was taken off guard. I too saw it as an embarrassing display, as were the preceding debates yet worse still this time. He looked and acted unhinged, confused, impatient, aggressive and defensive. He continued to talk SHIT, his tired bullshit lies and deceptions.

That this man has the numbers he does have is frightening. He represents a dangerously ignorant and backward element of American society.

3. "You feel that sting, McCain, huh? That's pride FUCKIN' with you! You gotta fight through that shit!

"You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't. "

4. McLame's in over his head.

All that and one has to wonder if we'd be this far ahead if it wasn't for the economic crisis. What is wrong with people?

[pleah]

7. I thought McHeh! came across as a angry old man that

would not listen to reason or the facts. He just kept repeating his same tired old lines. I personally thought he tanked.

10. K&R He was rude

Talking over Obama during Obama's time to speak, Obama gracefully stood his ground and remained polite. I wish someone knew what was going on with McSame with all of the grunt sounds as well as the one terrible sound that came from him, either he has a cold or there is a serious health issue going on. Does anyone know if perhaps that is an affect while a POW? I can not imagine anyone wishing to vote for him after last nights debate, if for nothing else the concern of his health!
