   Here’s what he’s saying:

   Across this country this is the agenda I’ve set before my fellow prisoners, and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent

   Well that explains the razor wire they’re installing on the border walls

   I think he’s feeling trapped in his failed campaign, unable to escape from the clutches of his evil advisors.

     Maybe he’s feeling trapped by medical news:

     Go read Counterpunch’s Weekend Diary by Alexander Cockburn

     McCain and Sarah Palin: Till Death Do Them Part?  And If So, How Soon? Is McCain A Lot Sicker Than We Know?

     On September 20, 2008, CounterPunch was contacted by a reader in Washington, D.C., reporting conversations pointing to a dramatic, recent worsening in McCan’s medical condition and prognosis

     [.]

     An official in the National Institutes of Health, well known to our reader, has confided to her that in an informal conversation with a doctor in a California hospital the NIH official  had learned that there had been a metastasis of McCain’s melanoma, and that this had come to light in a checkup in the past few weeks.

     Urged to reconfirm this news and to provide further details, our reader pressed the NIH official for more details and reported back to us on September 26 that after she had asked the NIH official to verify the details, the official:

         “decided this was important, and contacted her doctor friend to get what info she could. So here it is. John McCain recently was diagnosed with a melanoma recurrence, with a metastasis to the lymph node, in his latest, most recent cancer checkup, which took place at John Wayne Cancer Institute in California.”

     Attempting to confirm this intelligence, CounterPunch  contacted four physicians, none of whom want to be identified. Two remarked the subsidence of swelling in McCain’s left jaw in recent months. A UC San Francisco cancer specialist said, “It looked to me like he had something going on in his left jaw for a long time, and then it appeared much less puffy in the last few months. My theory was that he had gotten some radiation therapy.

   Unfortunately, we can no longer consult the good Dr. Freud. I wonder what his opinion would have been? Perhaps a bit of repression tucked away in those shadowy corners there Johnny boy?

   Waiting to cut out the deadwood.
   Waiting to clean up the city.
   Waiting to follow the worms.
   Waiting to put on a black shirt.
   Waiting to weed out the weaklings.
   Waiting to smash in their windows
   And kick in their doors.
   Waiting for the final solution
   To strengthen the strain.
   Waiting to follow the worms.
   Waiting to turn on the showers
   And fire the ovens.
   Waiting for the queens and the coons
   and the reds and the jews.
   Waiting to follow the worms.

     I always said he’d come to no good
     In the end your honor.
     If they’d let me have my way I could
     Have flayed him into shape.
     But my hands were tied,
     The bleeding hearts and artists
     Let him get away with murder.
     Let me hammer him today?
