Here is the highlight of John McCain's big acceptance speech extravaganza last night: that time Andrea Mitchell was nearly murdered in a sneak balloon attack, and all of her supposed "friends" on the MSNBC coolly mocked her and called her "Boom Boom," which is code for "old-timey boxing hero cut down in her prime by elitist balloons." It is always a tragedy, for America, when news anchors have to interact with the physical world.
