McCain stutters and smiles for 7 minutes and 22 seconds

on this morning's Today Show. He has "strong plans" and a "strong background" for pretty much everything that ails us, but just can't seem to put those plans into words. The Republics have a sense of humor after all. McCain is a joke.

At least Meredith Viera asked some halfway decent questions.

1. "7 minutes and 22 seconds?" Isn't that the title of a composition by John Cage?

Oh, wait, that's 4'33"

4′33″ (Four minutes, thirty-three seconds) is a three-movement composition<1><2> by American avant-garde composer John Cage (1912�1992). It was composed in 1952 for any instrument (or combination of instruments), and the score instructs the performer not to play the instrument during the entire duration of the piece. Although commonly perceived as "four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence",<3><4> the piece actually consists of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed.<5> Over the years, 4′33″ became Cage's most famous and most controversial composition.<6>

Wikipedia

...maybe 7'22" of "stuttering and smiling" is McCain's follow-up to Cage's work?

2. It sounds to me like the media is finally beginning to hold McCain's feet to the fire. NT
