It seems to me that John McCain’s “bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran” outburst is his very own “Dean Scream,” if you know what I mean:
Is someone who is this cavalier about going to war really fit to be President? After his musical interlude, McCain declared that, after all, Israel is being threatened, and we can’t allow that. Not very convincing — and really kinda weird.

As an audience member asks a question, John McCain blows his nose long and hard.
It seems he lost a little gray matter on the kleenex. When asked when the US military might “send an air mail message to Tehran.” He responded by attempting to sing a revision of the Beach Boys song “Barbara Ann”:
“‘Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.”
McCain then added, “Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That alone should concern us but now they are trying for nuclear capabilities. I totally support the President when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel.”
