This Week: John McCain Wants To Kick Russia Out Of G8. Why? To Teach Them A Lesson About Hubris, Naturally

McSame has swallowed a big old gulp of Bush’s “Do as I say, not as I do” and “yer either with us or agin us” methodology for foreign policy and washed it down with a chaser of Clint Eastwood tough guy bravado. Hence the screen cap, my approximation of a Eastwood-esque stare down.
McCain’s stated desire to kick Russia out of the G8 is laughable on its face and yet another area in which McCain will flip-flop, as Steve Benen so perfectly deconstructed earlier this week. And what is instigating this ultimately impotent stance? Russia has decided to enact policies that benefit…*gasp* themselves.
How dare they think about their interests? Next thing you know, they’ll be invading a country that posed no threat on trumped up intelligence and then occupy it for the oil lease rights, alienating the rest of the world with their “my way or the highway” rhetoric, really threatening peace throughout the world and then you know they’re really asking for the condemnation of the rest of the global community.
Oh, wait…
UPDATE: Wasn’t it helpful for George Stephanopoulos to correct John McCain when he forgot Putin’s new political status as Prime Minister? Remind me again, why should we believe that McCain has the experience in foreign policy? He can’t keep anything straight.
