| Description | Years from now presidential historians will look back on Sept. 9 as the day the 2008 campaign got completely and utterly stupid.
It's not that there haven't been flashes of occasional idiocy over the past 21 months. (Bittergate, anyone?) But yesterday, the battle between John McCain and Barack Obama plummeted to hitherto unfathomable depths of imbecility--depths from which it's unlikely to ascend before the polls close on Nov. 4. And sorry to say, most of the blame belongs to McCain (although Obama himself is not totally innocent).
Earlier this summer, McCain called for a campaign based on the "politics of civility." Try the politics of stupidity instead. Yesterday represented presidential campaigning at its condescending worst. And the worst part isn't that McCain was acting stupid. It's that he seems to think we're all stupid, too. |
