well, recon, it's mc-cain's claim that the "crisis" requires his attention and so forth--so the assumption is that he'd want to be an Impact Player--otherwise it'd look like cheap grandstanding. and if you're going to be an Impact Player, so as to avoid the impression of cheap grandstanding, you'd have to be Maximally Visible for the cameras--you know, like sarah palin was at the un---and so an Outfit seems in order--and a superhero is an Impact Player by definition.
i didn't say anything about cheap grandstanding because, well, i didn't think it necessary. i mean, cheap grandstanding is typically pretty obvious.
who would want to appear to be engaging in cheap grandstanding?
that's why i didn't mention cheap grandstanding.
so you see how nice i was?
and i am still being nice.
