This Is Not the Change We've Been Waiting For

Senator McCain whipped out his foreign policy and security bona fides again today in addressing Russia's "peacekeeping" efforts in Georgia, warning the Russians of "severe, long-term negative consequences" involving a few tricks Senator McCain picked up during his time visiting southeast Asia back in the day.

Not to be outdone, The Good Junior Senator From Illinois had his Eisenhower moment (I know, wrong party) in addressing the Russian land grab, declaring that He will personally negotiate a solution to the entire crisis and liberate the Georgians from Russian (re)oppression, without the need for pesky force or threat thereof. "I shall go to Atlanta," quoth The Blessed Junior Senator From Illinois.

Just kidding about Obama. But entirely believable.
