Why is John McCain stumping in Columbia again?
I had half a thought that there had to be some reason John McCain was in Columbia, which is home to zero electoral votes and thus a very odd choice to campaign, and a little out of mind in the American consciousness to burnish foreign policy credentials — even if one is stumping for a Free Trade Agreement. Things almost seem to align when American prisoners were rescued, but here again — that makes for roughly the lamest conspiracy theory ever (or perhaps lamest conspiracy) as it still doesn’t bring him any connection of Triumph.
I suppose one can settle into a back-room wheeling sans electoral politics, the Puppet Masters throwing the powerful out there and it doesn’t much matter — McCain remains the Manchurian Candidate or simply a Stump.
