NEWSFLASH! John McCain is considering a run for the Oval Office!

Senator John McCain of Arizona is about to form an exploratory committee for a possible presidential campaign, advisers said, taking a concrete step toward a full-blown campaign in 2008.

Advisers to Mr. McCain said he had not made up his mind whether to run, although he has acknowledged that he is strongly considering doing so.

Now you wait just one second, New York Times. Do you honestly mean to tell me that John McCain -- a man who's been campaigning for at least the last twenty-four months -- is actually giving some thought to thinking about exploring the possibility of maybe considering a potential run for the presidency? I am flabbergasted. Utterly flabbergasted.
