Everything for McCain is POW! Hey, Johnny, hate to break to you, but this ain't a batman comic book. They don't even use that expression any more!

And I think he wisely for many years stayed away from it as a political tool, he really did. But now it not only defines him, it's become a crutch in the campaign. And I think he is in danger of trivializing it.
