McCain Getting Overzealous?

[Josh]

I can't believe I saw this in the AP photo poll before the upcoming Super Tuesday (every Tuesday is super for me) primaries but on the other hand are you not gonna accept a gift from someone on the campaign trail especially a fellow zabra?

i don't mean to be a killjoy, but i believe mccain's inability to extend his arms are a result of his jet crash in vietnam and subsequent neglect and torture by his captors.  it's kind of similar to how bob dole always holds a pen as a result of being blasted by a machine gun in italy in world war ii.  it may look weird, but there is a compelling story behind it.

The terrifying aspect for me is not his arms, but his face; in this particular photograph he looks like the Madame Tussaud version of John McCann.  He looks Photoshopped, spooky.
