McAllTalk called by Saakashvili
While wingnut tools like Pantload and Assmissile had their hearts all aflutter following McCain’s bellicose-yet-viagra-deficient threat to, in the words of NRO’s John Derbyshire, “do such things, what they are, yet he knows not, but they shall be the terrors of the earth,” Georgia’s president is seemingly underwhelmed by McCain’s strident gum-flapping.
Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili on Wednesday called for John McCain and other American leaders to do more for Georgia in their response to the conflict in his country.
“Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”
If there was anything McCain should have learned from watching Bush for eight years of Mission Accomplisheds and Bring ‘em ons! it was that a president or potential president has to be careful about blowing too much smoke out of his ass in public. Instead, McCain has been grandstanding, playing tough guy, making threats he can’t follow through on and promises he cannot keep.
Apparently, Johnny Mac wasn’t paying very close attention these last 8 years. But no doubt this will somehow be good news for McCain.
