When John McCain Speaks...

...people cringe. This is especially so when the Arizona senator delivers a prepared speech. Unfortunately for McCain, the way to get television airtime in a presidential election is to deliver prepared speeches that outline policy proposals that differ from those of your opponent. We all remember McCain's train-wreck performance the night that Barack Obama officially clinched the Democratic nomination. That green-backdrop disaster is now the stuff of YouTube legend. Well, if you thought McCain had simply suffered a bad night, and had put his teleprompter woes behind him, have a look at yesterday's reprise (courtesy of TPM). The small, snide man is back in action, looking as un-presidential as ever.



Listen to that crowd response. Ouch. By now, it's all getting a little old.
