Slog - Comments on Images of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/images_of_the_day As Ben Smith says, today's fight for the best visual is not even close: That's Barack Obama today in Iraq with Gen. David Petreaus and John McCain today with the elder George Bush....

I think if anyone was ever worried that Obama might end up reliving Dukakis's tank moment, they can stop worrying. What a badass!

Eh, perhaps he's just trying to keep his hands off #41's swank cravat.

So forgive him the eye protection, huh? With sugar on top? You'll note, won't you, that he's not wearing a flight suit, he's not wearing a bullet-proof vest while surrounded with armored HumVees - he's wearing the typical uniform of the middle class . . . grant him casual Friday . . . and it's even something that doesn't look too amiss in a the Middle East. You must know, since you seem capable of speaking for the people in those cities, that they've got stuffed shirts and middle management in Flint and Pensacola, and those people, too, are suddenly finding they can't afford to fill their gas tanks or pay their mortgages. And they'll listen to him whether or not he's wearing shades. And really, honestly, and I hope this makes sense to you: they won't be listening to you.

I mean, the guy thinks Czechoslovakia is one country.

He actually thinks most people are Caucasian non-Hispanics in the West.

That's how out of date this guy is.

I knew Bob Dole, Bob Dole was a hero and lost an election.

McCain ain't even fit to hold a pen next to Bob Dole.

Perhaps in John McCain's idealized Future, they do.

Ginger Rogers used to affect a cravat like that to camouflage her wattles - can 41 be similarly vain? Maybe this was a Flomax photo shoot...yes?

The next picture taken of them was when Bush 41 rammed the golf cart into a crowd of people when he confused the accelerator for the brake. Three died.
