Just now (about 2110 GMT) on CNN International Christopher Hitchens questioned McCain's mental fitness to serve. Hitchens believes "His connections with everyday reality" seems to be disappearing, and that "McCain no longer seems able to do much more than recite a few catchphrases", adding "I don't know if he is fit to be the President, or even an United States Senator."

Wow, strong words from the disheveled British crackpot. Wonder if he will repeat them on U.S. TV?
