Wow, this is one of the dumbest comments I've heard by a politician on sex since this one.  Or maybe this one.  Or this one?  OK, this could go on all day, but you get the picture.  John McCain just joined the pantheon of Republican idiocy on all matters sexual.  Congratulations, Senator, you're now in fine company (see above links for more details...)!

McCain... (robliberal - 3/17/2007 12:42:30 PM)
Suprisingly McCain is back in play in NH and is barely behind the mayor now after weeks of falling poll numbers. This will probably not help him though.


What next from McCain? (Lowell - 3/17/2007 12:51:59 PM)
Is he going to join with the President of Gambia and claim he has discovered "a green herbal paste" that cures AIDS, but only on Thursdays? ("Asthma, on the other hand, could be treated only on Fridays and Saturdays.")

No, this is not a joke.  Well, maybe a sick one, but the President of Gambia isn't kidding. And neither, apparently, is John "So Much for Straight Talk, It's Time to Pander to the Religious Right" McCain.

The Straight Talk Express (and honest straight talk in general) kind of went out the window for McCain as he became so closely aligned with Bush.  He is, in spite of the fact that some news reports still call him a maverick, the establishment candidate in the race.

And when you're the establishment candidate, you lose the ability to look like a maverick, an upstart, and, in this case, credible.

Right now, I would place the "McCain 2000" mantra for 2008 solidly on Mike Huckabee or Sam Brownback.  They could both do like McCain in 2000 (and maybe with better results, since they'll be preaching to the choir).

Never mind that he's not up on STD prevention, but he doesn't even know where he stands on it and needs to look it up.  Yow.  And this guy wants to be President? 

That's scary... almost as scary as Dubya.



Sad, sad, sad (DanG - 3/17/2007 7:00:15 PM)
Just look at the Top GOP field:

McCain, who one was one of my favorite politicians (yes, not just favorite Republicans, but favorite politicians in general) has gone from a straight-talking Maverick to a poll-following, party lackey.  Rudy Giuliani is more liberal than I am, for God's sake.  And Mitt Romney is not only a flip-flopper (he loved gays before he hated them), but he's also a Mormon, which apparently equals freakin' voodoo to a lot of people in this country (I honestly have no idea why on that one). 

Then you have the Dark Horses like the Crusader Sam Brownback, the State-Destroyer Jim Gilmore, and more rif-raff.



Unbelievable (Nick Stump - 3/18/2007 3:23:15 AM)
When John McCain was a midshipman at Annapolis, he screwed his way around the globe.  Now all of a sudden McCain, a man who has, according to Robert Timburg was one the institutions more famous studs, doesn't know what a rubber is for? 

There was a moment there a few year back, that I, despite McCain's miserable voting record, thought he might at least have a bit of straight talk in him, and though I never entertained voting for him, I thought he was a fresh breath of air. 

Now with the deplorable Southern Strategy washing out from under the Republican Party, McCain is reduced to sucking up the the religious right, saying please, may I have more. 

Too bad.  I hope he carries a bagful of condoms, cause he's sure screwing the pooch every time he opens his mouth these days.  Unbelievable.
