Old Guys on YouTube
The best part of this FT review of the upcoming book Game Change (a behind the scenes look at the 2008 campaign/candidates), is this description of McCain and his cronies on YouTube:
During the duller moments on the campaign bus, John McCain and his colleagues Joe Lieberman, the renegade Democratic senator, and Lindsey Graham, the Republican from North Carolina, would watch the legendary four-minute YouTube clip of John Edwards vainly fussing over his hair in a TV studio. “Let’s look at it again,” McCain would suggest then they would roll about clutching their sides.
If only they were watching dramatic chipmunk.

Hi, I'm 
Pretty funny, considering how many people were watching McCain on Youtube and laughing.
Politics is theater; you have to be able to laugh at the other side AND yourself.
This is tangentially related to a conversation I’ve had with a friend for a few years. That is, do we think that at the age of 70 we will have the same stupid sense of humor we have now? Part of me says no way. But then I quickly realize I’m already too old to find most of what I find funny. So in a bizarre way, I can imagine being on that bus and laughing along.
