Oh, Walnuts

Yes, John McCain's new nickname is Walnuts... or even better, WALNUTS!

He was actually born before the Crimean War and possibly the Treaty of Ghent. He rides one of those bicycles with the giant 6-foot front wheel. He remembers the Barbary Pirates. OK, you get the point.

Anyway, he also is apparently trying out this new Internet Googles thing! Here he is describing his search for a VP:

"You know, basically it's a Google," he said to laughter at a fund-raising luncheon when asked how the selection process was going. "What you can find out now on the Internet -- it's remarkable."

Basically it's a Google? Um, is he calling up Ted Stevens for tech support?
