McCain and the Wizard of Oz

As I have observed John McCain over the past several weeks, it occurs to me that he looks increasingly like a political Wizard of Oz. Speaking for myself, I prefer Frank Morgan, the original Wizard, who had the good sense to stay behind the curtain and pretend to control the levers of power in the land of Oz before he was unmasked by Dorothy and her friends. McCain, on the other hand, likes to make brief appearances in front of the curtain, utter some banalities, and disappear. He is as vacuous as the Wizard, but at least Frank Morgan had a kind demeanor and a smile on his face. Where is Dorothy when we need her?
