Has this guy never heard of youtube?

John McCain has effectively ruled himself out of the presidential race with his recent Beach Boys routine. This stellar feat of un-statesmanlike behavior rules him out for a few reasons. First, his big selling point was supposed to be his responsibility, his maturity, his good sense. Well, endorsing military action to the tune of Barbara Ann showed how much sense he has. Second, let's think what happens to the moral high ground we need to have in our effort to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions when our "he called for Israel to be wiped off the map!" can be met by their "at least he took it seriously enough to do it in prose!" And, that brings me to reason number three, either he is foolish or he is out of touch. If he understands the power that video sharing has, then he is an imbecile for singing "Bomb Iran" at a campaign appearance. For the sake of strongly agreeing with one questioner at a rally he made a permanent ass of himself in front of the whole world. If he doesn't realize the power of video sharing, he's basically out of touch with the current world, something very possible in the oldest major presidential candidate ever. Perhaps, for all this talk of how big name recognition and early ability to raise money will decide these primaries, these primaries will prove to be about who can go longest without shooting himself in the foot.
