World to John McCain. Using Air Quotes makes you look like an arse.

That’s in general. Air Quotes are annoying. They make you look condescending, not intriguingly post-ironic.

Using air quotes around “Women’s Health” in the way that you did, makes you look like a callous unfeeling patriarch who thinks of women more as property than as individuals with the right to choose what happens to their own bodies. I thought you were supposed to be trying to pretend not to be one of them, even if your running mate, Sarah Palin, makes no effort at all to hide her feelings? Opposing abortion even in the case of rape? Seriously? You really think the American people, as a whole, are going to go for that? Or was your choice of Vice President also supposed to be ironic? Perhaps, given both your records on opposing equal pay for women, you picked a woman VP in order to save the tax payer a few bucks?

Senator McCain, seriously, air quotes are so 80s. That does make them about 30 years more modern than your views on women’s rights, but still, you’d be well served to stop using them.

Also it makes you look like Dr Evil. Some might say that is a step up from being compared to Gollum though.

Hmm, has this post been overly partisan? Let us even things out with this “lovely” piece of “music”.
