How Sad! My Fristian diagnosis - McCain suffers from echolalia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolalia

Echolalia is the repetition of vocalizations made by another person. Echolalia can be present in autism, Tourette syndrome, aphasia, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, developmental disability, schizophrenia, Asperger syndrome and, occasionally, other forms of psychopathology. When done involuntarily, it is considered a tic.


McCain is attempting to co-op Obam's every turn of phrase. This could be a clinical explanation.

The other explanation is that he is a copying old fart who hasn't had a new or original thought for the last 10 years.

Maverick! POW! Maverick! POW! Maverick! POW!

link is not posting right, sorry


"... Foreman thinks he might have Munchausens, but House thinks it might be a rare form of Anterograde amnesia recently discovered by Giovannina Conchiglia<1><2> that causes a patient to mimic those around him. House suggests that they try to convince the patient that he is a doctor, since a Mirror Syndrome patient would be convinced, but a Munchausens patient would not. They go to one of Wilson's surgeries, and the patient acts like a doctor. Specifically, he acts like Wilson. Wilson later notes that Mirror patients always mirror the most dominant person in the room, which means that Wilson was more dominant than House. House explains that as a consequence of the fact that Wilson was in charge of the surgery."
