I swear to God, between the Sarah Palin pick (and its resulting flop-sweat fall-out) and the majestically unrepentant “Message: We Care” approach to Gustav, I’m fully expecting John McCain to accept his nomination on Thursday or whenever by reaching up and pulling off his full-face latex Tony Clifton mask to reveal Andy Kaufman, wide-eyed, blinking cherubically at the culmination of his decades-long masterstroke. —Or maybe he’s Dick Cheney. Explains a lot, don’t it.
