Explain Me Some Politics

Two things about John McCain:(1) Why, whenever he talks about having won the nomination does he sound like he's playing the lead role in some crappy coming-of-age movie of the 17-year-old in a brothel grateful he's no longer a virgin? He either sounds like that or like he's gotten a chance to hold the one true ring and is about to put it on and disappear from sight.(2) Why the heck are pundits acting like it's some kind of magical event that Bush has endorsed McCain? As if somehow Bush's magical umbrella of constituents--ranging from evangelicals to dead people who haven't been found by their neighbors yet--will help McCain. BUSH'S NUMBERS ARE IN THE TOILET. It's not like when Gore spurned Clinton's support when he should've embraced it. Clinton was still popular then.
