Sen. Kerry joked recently at an event at the Venus de Milo restaurant in Rhode Island that John McCain couldn't attend the Providence Newspaper Guild's Follies because of some bad memories. "He used to date Venus de Milo."
Funny, but not really a joke when you realize the guy's running for President of the United States.

In yet another 'senior moment', McCain was once again tripped up by his own memory, having apparently forgotten about the invention of videotape. Now, I have nothing against old people. I like them in general, and even plan to be one some day. But this is not an isolated incident for Senator McCain, who can't seem to recall by the end of an interview what he said at the beginning.

It isn't that he's old, really. It's more likely that he's nuts. Or not all that bright. Or that he thinks we're not all that bright.
Whatever it is, he's one scary dude.

Maybe the Republican strategy is to get him elected with a somewhat lucid but totally evil VP (it worked last time), put little post-it notes around the oval office with "Sunni" on one side of the room and "Shi'a" on the other, and mark the really important countries on a great big map with names and pictures of world leaders and local bad guys. Tom Ridge isn't doing anything of note, he can color code it so it's easier to remember which is what.
They can make cheat sheets to remind him of the stuff he should say when the red light is on the cameras, or possibly even teach him to read a teleprompter so that in his first press conference, he can straight talk his way to becoming the second consecutive worst President ever.

I expect his advisors plan to remind him each morning that reporters can no longer be counted on to be wearing fedoras with little cards that say "PRESS" in the hatbands to warn you that you have to watch what you say the first time, and try to say it the same way in subsequent statements.
Or maybe they'll just let him sleep in.

I'm sure they have a plan. Of course, we have a better one.
