Here's the lick:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5AIL2J35RwI could hardly help thinking that the McCain camp saw the Obamas with their two adorable daughters last week, and someone said: "you want cute? I'll see your cute, and I'll raise you by three!"Then there was the boyfriend of the pregnant oldest girl--looking like he was about to poop his pants the whole time. Imagine what he must be thinking now: "one night of fun, and now THIS???"And there was the baby-passing. All night long at that convention, little baby Trig, born just this April, with Down's Syndrome, got passed around like a christmas fruitcake, obviously so everybody could get a photo op. He even spent some time in Mrs. McCain's robotic grip.Nothing says "see you when I'm in the White House" quite like holding a cute, disadvantaged baby under glaring lights and blaring loudspeakers while he dreams the dreams of the innocent.I'm just feeling around for a thesis here--it seems pretty obvious, though, that the "cute family" thing is a part of the overall strategy. It all feels just a bit too "Beverly Hillbillies" to me. Of course, we kind of had that already a couple of times in Washington . . . Herring405
