Another C student
It looks like we're well on our way to electing another C student to the White House. I only recently learned that McCain graduated at or near the bottom of his class at the US Naval Academy. True, he may have accomplished this on his own, unlike Dubya, whose Dad almost certainly bought him his passing grades at Yale, but still. Do we want another C student? He proved his mediocrity once again today by claiming al Qaeda in Iraq was being trained by Iran until Holy Joe Lieberman corrected him. I guess he'd be fun to have a beer with -- although I hear it was vodka that Hillary drank him under the table with on a trip to Russia a year or so ago.

Actually, being last in the class at Annapolis is a great coup -- it's like "shooting the moon" in hearts. You either make it or you end up just another blockhead who barely graduated. If McCain was really last in his class he earns my respect -- as he already has from his USNA peers. (A lowly OCS-grad, I wasn't smart enough to be first in my class -- I think I was eighth -- nor smart enough to be last. That takes great strategic and tactical skill, in a field of fierce competition.) On at least one measurement, then, my hat is off to McCain.
Although, true, you don't start shooting the moon until you've found yourself eating a lot of hearts.
