Conventional Wisdom

"Don't let my gray hair fool you. I haven't grown

wiser with age. I've just grown older."

“In all due respect to my colleagues,” John McCain says, "they’re

drinking the Kool-Aid that somehow I have changed positions

on the issues. All I can say is that we all grow. We all grow wiser.

And we all refine our positions.” Since he has 'refined' at least 74

of his positions, John McCain must be one of the wisest men alive.
