To the lay-person, this wasn't John McCain's best night. He was breathing heavily, losing a rage-filled death match with the english sentence, and blinking incessantly. He was breathing heavily because that is generally what people do before they explode into hate-speech or burst into tears or die of old age. His head was clearly filled with bullshit but his eyes screamed frustration at his mouths constipation. All of that was true. But he wasn't blinking. Remember, folks, he's an old Navy man. That was MORSE CODE.
McCain was telegraphing to the American people his secret plan to get Osama bin Laden.
