McCool

Mccain Sunglasses

As Tommy Lee Jones McCain jets around the country, keep your eye on his brilliant use of a strategic fashion accessory.  Not only do the cool shades blunt the  age issue, they help reinforce (and symbolize) the superficial coverage of McCain by the media.  This shot, taken this week in Meridian, Mississippi (as part of John’s “My Delinquent Biography Tour”), comes via the mccainblogette.

For a more MSM example, however, check out this shot of Cindy at the Naval Academy on the NYT “Wednesday on the Trail” slide show.

    Republican Neo and Trinity survey the Republican Matrix.

    Cypher: You know, I know this steak doesn’t exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize?
    [Takes a bite of steak]
    Cypher: Ignorance is bliss.

    I loved Agent Smith’s momentary loss of composure during one of the fight scenes as he lovingly fondles his broken shades. Grrrrr!! Chasing hackers around the Matrix is business for an Agent. This, Neo, is personal. Hugo Weaving was brilliant in that role.

    I think this photo of McCain as a hunchback deserves the BAGNewsnotes treatment as well.
    Not all McCain photos are favorable.

    Moment of self absorption. Distanced from the crowd, somehow blind to what is coming…
    McCain’s wife’s exposed right forearm shows a break in pigmentation that has not been perfected for that moment.

    Another fashion accessory is the dyed blonde arm candy with the plunging neckline. She also of the coolrays to match. Her long hair is a bit too for someone her age plus it must be a mess to keep up on the trail. Meow.
