Tonight’s final debate showed the poor ancient mariner, McCain, exasperated and cranky as usual. You really were waiting for him to shout, “Hey you, get off my lawn.”
Besides dismissing the very serious issue of a woman’s right to her own health during pregnancy, McCain also dismissed Obama, twice, for his eloquence.
This can only backfire. Eloquence is a virtuosic use of language. Language is thought. Obama’s great eloquence is an expression of his great command of his well formulated thoughts. Obama’s access to his full range of well studied information and well formulated policies into cohesive language puts us all at rest. A huge sigh of relief. A smart man has arrived. And he is going to figure some stuff out. And he is going to talk about it clearly as he is doing it. Eloquence.
I am all for eloquence. And for a woman’s right to choose.
Now, read this hilarious posting from October 7 by Helen Philpot.

LOL. McCain is certainly not telegenic. He looked sick and cantankerous. Oy!
There is a version of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" that includes the etext, audio narration and even illustrations - which might make it helpful for those that are interested in the story but would like to also listen to it and watch (in a sense):
