So you ask yourself "Self, why does someone obsessed with politics want to talk about 7 vertically-challenged guys who live together and have a who-knows-what relationship with each other and with a pretty lady?"

There is a political angle.

Every time John McCain appears on TV I think of that Silly 7. I don't know if he has allergies, and he's certainly no 'Doc,' but I ask myself "which other dwarf will be popping out of the Geezer's chest today?"

• Sleepy? He's been photographed snoozing through important business in the Senate.
• Happy? Well, he laughs at his own jokes, but little else. He is a dark person, one who sees only malevolence in the world. It's hard to be happy when you distill everything down to us vs. them.
  
• Dopey? [ Nah, too easy ]
  
• Grumpy? Probably.
• Bashful? Not likely. McCain certainly is never bashful - especially about avoiding reality and those pesky facts.

Mavericky? Not since he declared his candidacy for Prez.

Pandery? Bet on it. In fact, bet on a two-fer where pandery joins forces with one of the frightful five of the silly seven.

Hillary Clinton:

1. Has thrown $12,000,000 of her family fortune at what is, at best, a futile attempt to become US President.
2. Insists that she is still in the race for the nomination.
3. Will say anything, do anything to scratch and claw for votes/delegates
4. Has shown that she will destroy her party and its presumptive nominee for personal gain
5. Supports her party's presumptive opposition candidate to her party's presumptive own candidate
6. Gleefully accepts endorsements from influential Republicans - even though everyone else in the world knows that the right-wingers prefer to run against Hill rather than against Barack. Hint: they might be able to beat her in November; they haven't a prayer against Obama.

• I would rather not have a president is is delusional.
• I would prefer a president who doesn't squander millions of dollars on useless activities.
• I would hope to have a president who priority is not "Me first. Screw the rest of you."
• I would like to live in a country where a bumbling, doddering old fool can't manage to defeat someone who is so widely hated... not just in her country, but even among members of her own party.
• I want a President who has the humility and humanity to say:
  
  • "I was wrong when I supported the 'authorization to use force.'
    
  • I was wrong because I didn't do my homework before promoting and voting for that authorization."
    
  • "I was wrong to give the warmongers another shot at starting a war by declaring another country was run , in part, by terrorists."
    
  • "I was wrong to encourage the people of the state (in which I am a carpetbagger) to entrust me with their say in governing the country - when all that I have done is pander for votes."
  • "I was way, way wrong to smear, slime, lie about, and swiftboat my colleague. "
  • "I ask the forgiveness of my country for my reprehensible behavior."

If she can do that, she might be an OK president - if OK means playing politics as usual.
