Nanny McCain

Oh man, this post by The Colussus is tremendous! The picture caused me to spit hot coffee out of my nose and onto my monitor.

FYI, Projectile shooting steaming, hot coffee out of one's nose is only slightly less painful than having one's toenails peeled off slowly in a pool of rubbing alcohol.

Here is the analysis that pretty much nails it:

I love it when Senators pose as experts on a fact-finding mission. Whether or not there are any merits to the issue they're trying to highlight, it does mean that they've found an issue that can be successfully demagogued.

And when you see a demagogue, you need to look for one of the two baser human emotions, fear or greed. In this case, Nanny's peddling fear.

When Senator McCain isn't out "fact finding" for Global Warming, he spends his time trying to rally support for Federal laws demanding drug testing for professional sports.

I'm not sure which name I like best: "Senator Nanny" or "Senator Righteous Indignation."

For now they will be used interchangably.
