Defeated, derided, disgraced, and defused,
No longer tall,
Ignored by all
But Joe Lieberman—still piqued, heart-eating, confused.

Inspired by Comment #25 on today's article by Jim Rutenberg, "New McCain Ad Slams Obama on Ayers, Economy," in The Caucus, The New York Times Politics Blog. RMC's comment began:
...last memories of McCain will be a dirty, desperate, hate-filled campaign that couldn't argue the issues. What a pathetic way to send off one's legacy.
He will soon be back at the Senate, weakened and beaten and bruised [emphasis mine].
"weakened and beaten and bruised"
