The "John McCain as Bob Dole" theme takes hold

Yesterday, Adam Nagourney from the New York Times established the emerging story line that new John McCain is actually Bob Dole:

These days, Mr. McCain sounds less like his old self than Bob Dole, another Republican senator who ran for president in 1996, sounded in the closing days of his campaign — speaking louder or repeating statements that he thinks might be overlooked.

Olbermann kept it up with a segment titled "McCain's 'Bob Dole Moment?'"



It's good.

Also, wanted to give a shout out and send good thoughts to Raquel in Pennsylvania. Glad to know she's a fan and hoping that we're doing our part (along with Keith O.) to distract her these days.
