Not much to laugh at but...

There's not much to laugh at this week but the column, McCain vs. Palin, from the Washington Post's Ruth Marcus, reprinted at RealClearPolitics.com (don't forget to check the latest RCP poll-of-polls), has got more than a couple of great moments:

Listening to McCain debate was like a stroll down foreign policy memory lane: Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko. George Shultz, "our great secretary of state." Perestroika. SDI.

Those were the days, my friend. We thought the Cold War would never end.

"Back in 1983, when I was a brand-new United States congressman ... ," McCain reminisced. And, "I supported Nunn-Lugar back in the early 1990s." By the time McCain described how the Pakistan-Afghan border "has not been governed since the days of Alexander the Great," you were half-expecting that he was going to tell you about how he led the congressional delegation that met with Alexander.

I urge you to read the whole thing.

You need a laugh...
