Tiger in his tank, or something like that

This story makes little sense and doesn’t make anyone involved look good. I mean, what exactly was David Bellavia trying to say, anyway?

“Fortunately, I have the privilege, the distinct privilege today, of introducing a true American hero who defies political norms in Washington,” Bellavia said. “Sen. John McCain has spent a lifetime in service to our nation. His example of unwavering courage is a model for every American. Rest assured that men like Senator McCain will be the goal and the men that my two young boys will emulate and admire. You can have your Tiger Woods, we’ve got Senator McCain.”

If he is trying to say that Tiger Woods is a flash in the pan — and that Barack Obama is, as well — and that John McCain has substance, he’s missed the mark wildly. Woods is one of the greatest, if not the greatest golfer of all time and certainly no flash in the pan.

If he was trying to remind the crowd of the race issue — I just have no idea what this is all about. It appears to be just another example of how nutty the folks connected to the campaign can be.
