The Gentle Knife

Garrison Keillor:

And Mr. McCain, as of this writing, seemed torn between coming to St. Paul to address the convention and comforting hurricane victims in Mississippi, if any could be found.

Meanwhile, he posed a stark question for voters to ponder: How much would you like to see Sarah Palin of Wasilla, Alaska, as the next president of the United States? And what does the question say about Mr. McCain's love of the country that she might suddenly need to lead? No need to discuss these things at length, really. The gentleman played his card, a two of hearts. Make of it what you will.

Well worth reading the whole thing. In truth it's less harshing on McCain specifically than it is a review of the whole GOP mess from the last eight years, with special attention paid to Keillor's home state Senate race between Al Franken and Bush crony Norm Coleman.

What's that you say? You don't want the gentle? Okay, next post.
