Out of touch narcissist seeking out of touch narcissist

John McCain has apparently decided his campaign has too many shady lobbyists and decided he needs some disgraced CEOs. In some ways Fiorina got a raw deal. But crowing about how the company making record quarters as soon as she left seems to suggest she is on the same planet as McCain and Bush - and unfortunately that is not earth.

Matt Yglesias mentioned yesterday that it might make sense for McCain to announce his shadow cabinet to show he is different. Then again, if his cabinet includes people like fiorina maybe that isn't such a good idea.

I would also add that it is interesting the Times chose to pepper the profile piece on his one female advisor with all sorts of cheap shots. I even wonder about mccain's own line about how she used to be a secretary.

But I am fond of Carly... can't say why really. So, perhaps the strategy to use her to get Hillary supporters will work after all. :)
