Crazy Michael Savage said something interesting (if crazy).

He claimed that McCain was psychologically unable to fight back against Obama because he had had that instinct taken out of him when he was tortured by the North Vietnamese. Part of this torture process, apparently, is psychological reconditioning in which you are taught to be passive when under attack.

Sort of like the “retch” reflex that the character of Alex had instilled in him in the movie “A Clockwork Orange.”

It’s a crazy theory by Savage but it explains a lot even we hold it true provisionally. We all saw the crowds of his supporters surrounding McCain — not just angry but practically in tears — “why will you not fight back?” And McCain would simply shrug and say something moronic like “You don’t have to fear an Obama presidency. He’s a very decent person.” Etc. Palin was the ONLY one from Team McCain hitting Hussein with the issues: his radical alliances, his bankrupting of the coal industry, his admitting he was a socialist, etc. I feel so bad for our Sarahcuda. She’s exhausted and must feel awful. She knew the excitement of the crowds when she spoke.

Where was Steve Schmidt in all of this? Wasn’t he supposed to be the new Karl Rove? The brilliant subtle strategist? He seems to have disappeared the past few weeks.

That’s why I asked earlier if perhaps McCain purposely threw the election. Maybe it was just a rhetorical question, but for the life of me, I just cannot figure it out. It’s almost as if he never really wanted the job in the first place.
