Since most of us are wage slaves,

[Mme. Defarge]

haven't we all worked with jerks like McCain? The manager/boss who's a bully, the backstabbing co-worker who undermines you and/or takes credit for your ideas, the incompetent corporate ladder climber who has attained coercive power and influence due to the Peter Principle?

Consciously or not, I believe that many people watching the debate last night will instinctively be repulsed by McCain's self-centered, condescending, and hot air responses -- because we have all been violated by such toxic personalities at the office.
