Yes, that's right. Joe Wurzelbacher, the unlicensed, tax-dodging, progressive-tax-and-socialism-equating pipe aficionado, is John McCain's role model. This is not to be confused with John Lewis, one of the 3 wisest people McCain knows, yet whose sole bit of advice McCain ignored.

A cynical person might believe that McCain's role-modelship is for sale to whatever archetype fits a given situation. Perhaps, come Wednesday morning, McCain will find himself a lifelong admirer of a certain skinny black kid with a funny name?



My role models are AOL Political Machine editors David Knowles and Chris Weber. They exemplify all that is right with humankind, not to mention their rugged good looks.
