Another Kevin Drum comment about the puzzling McCain strategy.
------------------------
YET MORE McCAIN....As the sun was setting in Berlin on Barack Obama's big speech, John McCain stepped out from Schmidt's Sausage Haus in Ohio to rebuke his opponent:

I would rather speak at a rally or a political gathering any place outside of the country after I am president of the United States. But that's a judgment that Sen. Obama and the American people will make.

Jeez, could he be any more transparent? Why not just carry a big blinking sign saying "Barack Obama Isn't A True American Patriot"? I mean, I realize we're in the silly season and all, but as Atrios says, this criticism is head scratchingly weird. Non-presidents give speeches outside the country all the time.

And yeah, I realize I've been posting an awful lot about McCain campaign trivia lately. But the guy's really been on a helluva roll the last few days, hasn't he?

It's only a good thing if McCain says it. Tune in next week when McCain WILL say it. Then it will be a good thing.

Yesterday, I picked up this curious bit of corollary apoplexy over at LindyBill's Church of W : Message 24786096 . Of course, those people have been thrashing for months trying to figure out the 2008 version of swiftvets crap, but still, it seems a bit out there even for that august forum.
