McCain stepped in shit this morning on NBC "Today Show"

[npincus]

Saying it's "not important" when troops come home from Iraq. Talk about a gift!

BTW, he seemed particularly delusional this morning... really spouting a lot of nonsense. If he manages to win, surely we are a natin of shitheads.

[Cha]

1. Such an asshole..so many ways

to show it.

[gasperc]

2. all my beer tastes flat now

ever since he threatened to veto all my beer

[npincus]

4. ?

Cindy's inherited one of the biggest beer distributorships in America... you must be drinking a competitor's brew.

[gasperc]

8. he vowed to veto that beer too

he's totally inflexible!!

[npincus]

10. LOL- didn't hear his (mis)quote.

Well, I'll drink to anything stupid that comes from that guy's mouth!

:beer:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

3. McLame is toast. Say hello to El Presidente Obama!

[Bullet1987]

5. Andrea Mitchell was giving a quasi-defense of McCain during her hour

Saying that's not what he really meant or whatever...

[npincus]

6. I saw that... no such concern for Obama's "bitter" kerfuffle

Her Republican slip is showing.

[David__77]

7. What a lunkhead.

He'll say plenty of things that will make great campaign material. Alternatively, he'll start walking on eggshells to avoid that and come off in a much less likeable manner. Either way, we win!

[DangerDave921]

9. RW Radio

You should hear Rush and Laura. They are losing their S--t over McCain because of all his non-conservative views. He opposes drilling in Anwar, he's talking about taking oil company profits, etc. With this kind of coverage from the friendly media, the RW fundies are never going to support him. If McCain tries to "out-liberal" Obama, he is f'ing done this November. You never win an election by trying to be a better version of the other guy.

[DCofVA]

11. It's not important to him that we are spending 3 billion dollars there a week?

[ErinBerin84]

12. haha

Lieberman: McCain's "Not Too Important" Comment Doesn't Matter Because He Served In Vietnam
By Greg Sargent - June 11, 2008, 1:53PM
There was a fun moment on the McCain conference call held a little while ago to defend his claim that it's "not too important" when the troops come home.

This is what Joe Lieberman had to say in defending McCain's comment:

I mean the obvious fact is that more than most any American, Senator McCain knows the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform make, and the burden that their families bear. And it really is wrong to suggest otherwise. And obviously he knows that from his own -- well, from his father's service, and the impact it had on his family; from his own service and incarceration...
Of course, we keep hearing that John McCain is reluctant to invoke his war service in a political context. He told us so himself the other day.

So on the call, a reporter quite naturally asked McCain senior advisor Randy Scheunemann if Lieberman's evocation of McCain's service in this highly charged political context meant there was a shift of some kind and that we'd be seeing more of this.

"We're not gonna comment on that," Scheunemann said.
