He sure proved the point that John McCain has nothing on him on foreign policy. And McCain was just scaryimagine him and his anger trying to repair our place in the world.
And McCain's anger and condescension toward Obama was shocking. I couldn't help wonder if he would have acted the sameand refused to look ata white opponent. It was incredibly offensive. He was the quintessential angry white man tonight who seems offended to be challenged by an upstart.
Josh Marshall is blogging about McCain's anger and sneers, too:
I said above that McCain didn't have any freak-out moments. But he did have that sneer and there did seem to be this thing where he was so contemptuous and angry at Obama that he couldn't get himself to make eye contact. I think we'll hear more about that.
Angry, angry, angry. Part of the key here is that McCain is clearly miffed that he even has to debate or run again Obama. He thinks it's an insult.
McCain-Palin are nothing if not sneering.
