It has been a very good week for the nation to recall how lucky it was not to have elected John McCain president of the United States in 2008. This is not because McCain ran a bad campaign in a tough year, though he did. This is not even because the party to which John McCain belongs already was showing signs of the prion disease that now has eaten through the higher functions of its collective brain, though it has. This is because, in his desperate (and vain) attempt to reconcile with a demented political party energized solely through a conservative movement long removed to Bedlam, John McCain unleashed into the public discourse a remarkable collection of dimwits and mountebanks who plague us even unto this day, while McCain is off spooning with his new pals Senator Kelly (The Metternich Of Manchester) Ayotte and Senator Huckleberry J. Butchmeup at the soda fountain of the Blow Up The Brown People Cafe.

For example, here's Princess Dumbass of the Northwoods, who McCain decided was the only person besides himself that the nation should trust with its nuclear codes. She has some word-like utterances to share on the topic of the unfolding scandal within the Department Of Veterans Affairs.
