I'm not sure who did the music, but I have to admit that when I heard it, after such an all-encompassing oration, climaxed by Beijing fireworks and teary-eyed worshippers, my heart welled up in my chest at the thought of the post-racial, post-political Saviour who is everyman, who is both black and white and gay and transgendered and conservative and Marxist, who will magically cause all Washington inertia and divisiveness to end, who will part the waters of Katrina with the staff of Mozilla, who can put all of us to work at high-wage jobs building hydrogen wind cars and algae farms, and I cried.
“post-racial, post-political”
He’ll be Post Toasties when McCain gets through with him!
