Practice makes perfect

Unless it doesn't.

McCain's people are running this ad using as his spokesperson...Hillary Clinton!



(Guess all those people who told Hillary she was acting as a stalking horse for the Repubs were right.)

We can expect a lot more of this from McCain's people, trying to counter McCain's age with references to Obama's (relative) inexperience. (For those who may not remember, Obama has more experience in elective office than a number of estimable presidents: Lincoln, TR, Wilson, and FDR come to mind. Not to mention the Republican hero, Eisenhower.

The real response to the McCain argument was given by my high school French teacher, Mary Jane Hogan. She used to tell us that the adage "Practice makes perfect," is wrong. Perfect practice makes perfect, she would say. If you practice it wrong, you just get worse. So, if you keep arguing for the wrong policies, as McCain has, you'll stay on the wrong road if you get into office.
