Fran, You're Backing a Douche
I'm not sure if you've seen the recent ad put out by THE ONE attacking John McCain. Still, here it is:
Well, he's right about one thing. John McCain can't use e-mail. The injuries he sustained as a POW have rendered him unable to type.
So, let me get this straight. Barack 0bama is mocking the disabilities a war hero sustained defending this country. Sorry, but in my book, that makes THE ONE a card-carrying, certifiable, industrial-grade douchebag. While I was willing to accept that the "lipstick on a pig" comment might have been just a gaffe (albeit one I'm surprised he didn't correct when his audience started snickering), this turn of events makes that interpretation all the more implausible. In fact, this is showing itself to be a pathetic pattern of behavior from a spoiled schoolboy. If you don't believe that, consider this bit from the primaries:
The irony is that John McCain is actually regarded as one of the Senate's better technologists. He pioneered the very web organizing techniques that the 0bama campaign has relied upon in his 2000 run. The man chaired the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and was one of the major forces behind the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that paved the way for telecommunications competition and the growth of cell phones and boradband internet access over the last decade. Perhaps if THE ONE spent a little more time on his Senatorial duties than running for President, he'd have known that.
But, then again, maybe he did. Perhaps he just decided not to let facts get in the way of insulting the wounds of a hero. What a douche....
