Just Gimme A Little Tuvan Throat Chant

Hugh Hewitt goes insane little-league dad on John McCain.

The pundits are asking whether John McCain should bring us the would-be killer Ayers in the debate tonight. Of course he should, again and again, regardless of what questions Bob Schieffer brings with him.

And Senator McCain should ask how Senator bama could stay for 20 years in Jeremiah Wright’s church, buy a house with Tony Rezko, spend great amounts of time with Rashid Khalidi and represent ACORN. All of these associations go to judgment, the same judgment that Senator Obama will have to use to staff 3,000 jobs including the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury and Justice.

So really, all McCain has to do is continually mention four people and an organization, lay out their connections with Obama, make the connection between Obama’s past affiliations and their current issues, and explain why each one of them matters as it relates to current issues and judgment. All most likely without the help of the moderator. And about 40 minutes total speaking time.

It’s just like hitting a ball. All you have to do is choke up on the bat, plant your foot, swing your hips, keep your grip straight, your shoulder facing the right way, follow through, keep your eye on the ball and track its position. If you can’t do that, why did you want to play baseball in the first place? Huh?

David Horowitz has become very influential in the last few years.

And eve if McCain did all that stuff, it would just confirm the general impression that he’s batshit insane.

Gee, Senator McCain-

I’m 46, I lost over 30% of my retirement investment portfolio in the Bear Sterns debacle, My coworkers have loved ones on their 2nd, 3rd, amd 4th deployments too Iraq, and they cant make ends meet. Soon their food stamps and WIC will run out, and they don’t know how to feed their families on their income. The people who come to our veterinary clinic more and more have to make that gawdawful, heartwrenching decision; do we save Fluffy, or do we make the mortgage payment and avoid forclosure like 9000 other families in San Bernardino County have experienced in THE LAST YEAR?!

My question?

How can you expect me to give a flying fuck WHAT Bill Ayers did 40 years ago, and how could it POSSIBLY be germane to this election?

It’s worked so well for him this past month!

Hey, Tuvan throat music would be preferable to some of this election crap. (Tuvan TM is a method of singing that produces one or more harmonics as well as the main note, essentially the skilled singer is singing a chord.)

This past month, Vic? They’ve been trying to come up with a smoking gun on Ayers for most of the last calendar year. And they still don’t have anything better than “they were in the same room six times almost 15 years ago! BURN THE WITCH!!1!”

regardless of what questions Bob Schieffer brings with him.

In other words, regardless of whether it’s a pitch or a throw coming in from the outfield. Yeah, that’ll make you the hero real quick.

Actually, if you think about it…

What we need to do is go on any and every right-wing site we can for the next month and convince them as well and clearly as we can that Obama really is deeply, deeply connected with Ayres, give them as much info and detail as we can. Make the case over and over to the right wing that Obama’s connection with Ayres is very real. So that they will be even more insanely attached to their wierd, nostalgic 1960s revenge fantasies, and even more likely to ride that theme off a cliff.

Wait, John McCain is talking about the need for “judgment” in hiring?

Maybe he should take another look at his VP nominee before continuing with that argument. (Or his transition team leader, for that matter.) With almost six months to pick a VP and vet him or her, the best he could do was Sarah Palin?
