A small, sad, tired, compromised, feeble, unprincipled old man just spoke in an attempt to be ......

..... elected president. He is partnered with a conniving, treacherous, religiously insane, end of times, egomaniacal, sociopathic woman who wishes him a speedy demise.

1. Well said.

[TwilightZone]

2. Yeah, that pretty much covers it.

Nicely done.

[Lars39]

3. I'd be worried if I was him.

[gratefultobelib]

4. I know. I feel sorry for him, and I know people will jump all over me for saying it, but I do.

6. iI won't, but if his campaign had vetted her, and if he

hadn't jumped to kiss the ring of the far right 'christian right' or Domionists he would've known about her, eh? Personal responsibility and all of that.

7. Besides, Palin has an unsettling tendency to double-cross her mentors

5. Man...you've been feeling it lately H2S! I hope it's contagious and that more

are willing to take the gloves off and talk bluntly about the worst administration in history and its GOP enablers

[janethussein]

8. Gawd, that was HORRIBLE ! How

would you like to listen to Gramps give a state of the union address ? How does he keep HIMSELF awake when he speaks? jeeeeezus !

9. I don't know about "unprincipled"

Biden nailed it with "he doesn't get it."

There's a genuinely decent man in there with a compelling personal story. But he compromised it all away.

10. Unprincipled ......

You know that daughter of his you saw on stage tonight? The one with the darker complexion? In 2000 she was the subject of one of the most vile push polls in history. George Bush's shop ran it against him. Rove's shop, actually. In South Carolina.

"Would you be more or less likely to support John McCain if you knew he had a black baby?" That won the primary for The Simian Motherfucker.

And one of the guys in Rove's shop back then? McCain's 2008 campaign guru, Steve Schmidt. Schmidt is rumored to be the guy who did that particular bit of push poll nastiness.

Does McCain stand up for his kid?

Nope.

Kerry did, actually. But not Johnny.

Instead, Johnny has been giving rim jobs to Bush and Rove since then.

And now? Rove himself is on Johnny's payroll, too. Right along with Schmidt.

And that 'distancing from Bush' you **think** you saw tonight? Its crap. It was kabuki theater. Pure bullshit for the consumption of the rubes.

No, Johnny is unprincipled. He's not even a real man. He's a suck ass with tired political ambition.

I stand by use of the word.

And all the other words in my OP.

11. Couldn't agree more, Husb.

Not only with your explanation of unprincipled, but with everything you said in the OP.

12. i'm gonna cut and paste this gem of a response

[jberryhill]

13. Severely compromised...

...which is probably a quibble's worth of difference from unprincipled.

It's all in the size and number of the compromises along the way until there is nothing left to compromise.

14. K&R this terrific post! Well said.
