Or as my good friend, George Orwell, might say, "DoublePlusUnPresidential."

On ABC's "This Week," McCain got fricasseed real good by the panel, but conservative icon George Will kicked it up a notch by also noting that McCain "Once again substituted vehemence for coherence."

Sam Donaldson also threw in a "Bam!" of his own, saying ""It was two days after the he said the fundamentals of the economy were strong. His talking points have gotten all mixed up. And I think the question of age is back on the table."

Will finished the dish with this nice flambe´:"John McCain showed his personality this week, and made some of us fearful."

I think this says less about Will's perceptiveness, and more about the colossal nature of last week's debacles for John McCain. Sarah Palin may have been a game-changer, but this past week has reminded everyone that this isn't a game.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
