THE OLD CAMPAIGN

Gail Collins mourns the old McCain campaign.

Dear Old Golden Dog Days

I liked it all but this part rang a bell.

Remember how we used to joke about John McCain looking like an old guy yelling at kids to get off his lawn? It’s only in retrospect that we can see that the keep-off-the-grass period was the McCain campaign’s golden era. Now, he’s beginning to act like one of those movie characters who steals the wrong ring and turns into a troll.

During that last debate, while he was wandering around the stage, you almost expected to hear him start muttering: “We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precious.”

There is more about Cindy and Sarah P. and the rest of it.

Very good.
