McCain: All Surge, all the time

John-boy has hit a bit of a skipping pattern. Sort of like when you gramophone keeps skipping and repeating over a scratch on the disc shaped analogue sound recording medium, eh John? Everything needs a surge now. You all remember the Iraq surge, well now McCain wants an Afghanistan surge. He wants a surge to control inner-city crime. Whether that was advocating sending troops into Detroit or not, I'm not entirely clear.

Now, from the geniuses that only know one policy describer, the economic surge. It's basically drilling and vague support for everything he votes against and empty criticism on loopholes and policies his economic advisers like Phil Gramm have spent a lifetime working into the system. After this speech McCain stripped to the nude and had his staffers show him how to use "the computing box" to go on "the eBay" so he could buy pallets of unsold cans of Surge soda.

John, come up with a better sell line than "________ Surge". If you just keep repeating it people are going to think your just a doddering old man who doesn't understand things and just repeats easy slogans because they're the sum total of his knowledge on the subject. Fine then, how about an Energy Surge? That'll be $2 million in consulting fees, pay up.
