<\/a>Jimmy Orr of the Christian Science Monitor<\/i> finds the perfect analogy to describe John McCain\u2019s reaction to how the media has been treating Sarah Palin<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

It’s just like the old Huey Lewis song from \u201cBack to the Future\u201d where the occasional doo-wop performer sings about going back in time. <\/i><\/p>\n

Because hearing John McCain this morning sticking up for Sarah Palin makes it feel like the 2008 campaign season again. It’s like McCain has morphed into Marty McFly. And Palin is perhaps, George McFly. And the media, maybe, is Biff.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dude, at a time when people are questioning the relevance of the media, the best you can manage is Huey Freaking Lewis from a 1985 movie soundtrack?<\/p>\n

What, no comment about how Michelle Obama is one of the \u201cSisters (Doin\u2019 It For Themselves)\u201d? The birthers want to know if POTUS44 was \u201cBorn in the USA.\u201d Was a certain governor Romancing the Stone<\/i>?<\/p>\n

Stretched political analogies to 1980s pop culture make the Czar weep.<\/p>\n
