I really wanted a picture of McCain tearing into a bloody haunch of flesh to accompany this post, but somehow I couldn't find one on the interwebs

Via OG, this incredible statement from McCain:

Let me be clear, under my administration Osama bin Laden will either be killed on the battlefield or executed. Senator Obama's failure to comprehend the implication of the Supreme Court decision he embraced and the historical precedent of Nuremberg raise serious questions about judgment and experience and whether Senator Obama is ready to assume the awesome responsibilities of commander in chief.

Apparently "awesome" is being used here in the same sense that I used to call games like Postal awesome.

Not only is McCain not a moderate, he's not really all that sane, either. I shouldn't even have to point out that actually doing something like this sets a particularly stupid and vile precedent, namely "fuck the rule of law."

Ironically, I don't intend to defend the rule of law per se. I do, however, wish to defend the idea of a social contract: That what allows large groups of people to work together is abiding by the rules of the group. McCain - like Bush now - is essentially saying that such shit don't matter, and that what really matters is the size of his cock the power that comes from the barrel of a gun.

That such a belief is problematic is really something I shouldn't have to explain.
