Sure, that's satire, but as I said earlier in the thread, the concept of experience isn't an either/or proposition, but something that has scale and context. To compare someone who has managed a small town in Alaska with the very weighty needs of a position that is one step away from arguably the most dangerous job in the the Western world is to ignore the reality of the situation.

If nothing else, this shows that Mr. McCain hardly places America First.
