From Roadkill Refugee, comparing Mccain to Monty Python skit:
"In this drama, McCain is Sir Lancelot in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the man who was so tragically overwhelmed by his own sense of glory he must fulfill as a Knight of the Roundtable. He assumed a note he received was from a beautiful maiden trapped in a castle, and set off to accomplish a daring and heroic rescue. He crashed the castle and slaughtered the wedding party inside en route to rescuing his victim, only to find, anticlimactically, it was the effeminate son of the castle owner.
So too McCain, instead of finding Hill legislators and a White House awaiting his courageous rescue, he will find the deal largely accomplished without him, and his only grateful victim to be, anticlimactically, a group of unruly conservative House Republicans who can’t help him win the election."
