John McCain is an idiot. He knows nothing about foreign policy beyond the talking points he gets from the AEI.
No matter what the question is, he gets it wrong. And no matter how wrong he gets it, the press in this country will always defer to his expertise, just because he was a POW one hell of an irrelevant long ass time ago.
Here’s John McCain saying the U.S. would have to deal with Hamas because they were the elected government of Palestine:
And here is his spokeslady explaining that he never meant it (please don’t turn on me now, Israel Lobby!)
Credit goes to David Shuster for calling her out, but does anyone believe that the lesson of how completely full of shit John McCain is will be able to sink in past the "but gee, he’s a gen-u-ine War Hero" filter in his head for next time?
“Dealing could be everything from bombing to a bed of roses…”
I think McCain’s spokesperson could be a writer for a T.V. sitcom. She’s a real riot.
Scott, between you and Anders, you’ve given Obama a ton of material (video speaks louder than written words). Let’s hope he picks up on it.
But I ain’t holdin’ my breath.
Jesus christ, when i posted on the other thread about them spinning the “deal with them” comment to make it seem like he meant perhaps to bomb them, i never actually thought they would do it. That spokeswoman must think everyone was born yesterday, he clearly meant talk with them.
I gotta stop making McCainiac videos, but i just couldn’t help myself after hearing that opening gambit to his deluded speech
Hey Scott:
I heard there was a “LIBERTARIAN” debate on one of the Fox channels the other day – between Wayne A. Root and Mike Gravel…..I don’t recall you commenting on or covering this event…..What gives? Aint you a Libertarian?
This is an epic clash between the 2 great schools of Libertarian thought:
1) Agressive, pre – emptive, jingoistic military interventionism – ala Root
2) The Perpetual plebiscite school where (globally) we all get to vote on how everybody runs there life/spends their money…. ala Gravel
Man… this is a fight for the heart and soul of Individual Liberty…. You can’t be asleep at the switch for this one.
Not trying to be rude, but Stevec I don’t think Scott is gonna answer you until you have the courtesy to return those cook books you borrowed from him.
I never borrowed cookbooks….He just e-mailed me a few Horton Family recipes….some hit…some missed….actually I think Scotts been quite busy collecting signatures to try and get Alan Keyes on the presidential ballot in Texas….I know they require a lot of signatures in the lone star state….I think he’s going door to door with a clip board….
