McCain's Reluctance

ABC News' David Wright, reporting just this last Wednesday:
"McCain became visibly angry when I asked him to explain how his Vietnam experience prepared him for the Presidency.

"'Please,' he said, recoiling back in his seat in distaste at the very question.

"McCain then collected himself and apologized for his initial reaction.

"'I kind of reacted the way I did because I have a reluctance to talk about my experiences,' he said.

"'I am always reluctant to talk about these things.'"
By the way, have you seen John McCain's latest ad? Message duly approved, of course, by the shot down, bayoneted maverick himself.

  1. hahahaha, Reluctant to talk about it, IT is why he is where he is AND his entire campaign sits on that foundation. GIMME A BREAK

  2. Pretty weak foundation, too, in my opinion. Here's to hoping it cracks beyond repair.

  3. "The world is a scary place..."

    So sick of the McFear Mongers.

  4. Is there anything McCain says that we can take seriously?

  5. Yeah, he really wants to sweep that part of his life under the rug. I really don't have a problem with him using it in a ad, but be honest about it.

  6. POW as qualification for POTUS just doesn't make sense to me anyway. Sure, he's showing how he "served" his country (whatever the hell that means) and how he now wants to serve in a different capacity. And, um, frankly, his first go-round "in service" can't exactly be called a success.

  7. Doug,
    I agree, but what else does McCain have. He had 30 years to change things in Washington, and now he expects us to believe that he's the guy if we want change...I don't think so.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Why's There Even You and Me? A Personal Diversion

Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...
