McCain’s most recent misstatements concerning the predicament that is Iraq and its neighbors, and his remarks relative to the quite serious economic circumstances we’re in reflect the fact of his more than considerable academic deficits, this at a time when we require a certain level of general area expertise as well as a more contemplative temperament. There are bad actors and actors behaving badly out there. A pugnaciously naïve insistence on a myopically static, simplified formulaic and relatively unschooled predisposition are the very last characteristics we should accept in our president. They also happen to be the last things we can afford. Those are the facts. Anything and everything more is fluff. Or, have we learned nothing over the past seven-plus years?
