Campaign funny
Johnny McCain and Sarah Palin were campaigning together in Virginia this morning. I don’t know if their campaign honchos are afraid to let Sarah go out without Johnny or Johnny without Sarah. Anyway… this via Jonathan Martin:
Reprising a line she’s been delivering on stage with McCain since the GOP convention, Palin said of her running mate this morning in Virginia Beach: “Since he won’t say it on his own behalf, I’m gonna say it for my running mate here: There is only one man in this race who has ever really fought for you.”
Then McCain took the mic and said: “I”ve been fighting for this country since I was 17-years-old and I have the scars to prove it.”
Perhaps they need to spend a bit more time together coordinating their speeches?
The Republican Ticket
If you want to call sitting in a prisoner of war camp for five and half years, signing confessions and making videos for the enemy “fighting for me” then thanks for fighting for me, Johnny McCain. Appreciated muchly. (Somebody had to do it, right?) What have you done for me in the 40 years since?
Update: Seems Mrs. Palin put her foot in at least twice today… “Palin mistakenly scolds her own supporters.”

Despicable. Utterly despicable. How dare you sir.
There are no words that can adequately express my disgust at the very idea of someone believing what you wrote.
@Chris : How dare I? I dare because it is what I believe. I had two cousins and a best friend killed in that war while Johnny McCain was sitting in the Hanoi Hilton. They fought and they died. In my mind, at least, they are the heroes.
I dare because, as an American citizen, I am free to express my beliefs and opinions, no matter how despicable you may find them to be. (I, on the other hand, am in complete agreement with all of yours. Or not.)
You may express your disgust from now until the cows come home. Makes no matter to me. You want to turn my country over to the likes of Johnny McCain and Sarah Palin. That, sir, is what I find despicable.
