Sir, you are a genius

John J Pitney Jr purports to be a professor of politics at Claremont McKenna college in California, but he's clearly a mischievous Obama campaign worker sent to the National Review blog to depost this excellent advice for John McCain:

What demeanor should McCain display tonight? Angry doesn't work. Solemn doesn't work. Fake-smiley doesn't work. Instead, McCain should go back to his roots and unleash his inner smart-aleck. If Obama accuses him of being erratic in a crisis, he should say: "So I'm erotic in a crisis? Who knew?"

After unleashing this line, McCain should direct all viewers to this website. [The Corner]
