Big Mac attack

Whoa. The Mac IS back. Or at least he was Saturday night.

Sen. John McCain resumed his former self during a comic appearance on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey’s reprisal of Gov. Sarah Palin wasn’t nearly as entertaining as McCain’s reprisal of who he was eight years ago when he ran against George Bush.

I had forgotten that he was funny, happy and sincere, just like he was Saturday.

It’s so sad that somewhere along the way, McCain either wanted to or had to pander to Republican elements far from who is really is, or used to be. It was that John McCain who would never launch the desperate, bizarre attacks against his opponent, just like Bush and Karl Rove did against him in 1999.

Maybe after the election, McCain can reprise that role in the Senate to help get things done, just like he used to.
