John McCain tells the truth, once in a while.  Here is a great example:

“But presidents don't lose wars.  Nations do.  And presidents don't fight wars.  You do, the men and women of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world.”

How can anyone, and I mean anyone, read this statement and then cast a vote in November for this… whatever he is?  I won’t call McCain a coward, because he served with distinction in Vietnam, but apparently that took place long before his resurrection and ascension into political heaven.  For those of you already in McCain’s camp, allow me to translate his quote:

Presidents can start wars, but YOU, jarhead, will fight them, win, lose, or draw.  And don’t blame us in Washington if things don’t work out.

Or, in the compassionate style of friend Leona Helmsley:

We don’t fight wars… only the little people fight wars.

Flattery is indeed a powerful weapon, in the hands of clever politicians.  Rumor has it that years ago, McCain hosted Olympic gold medalists Bob Beamon, Carl Lewis, and world record holder Mike Powell at his ranch in Flagstaff, Arizona.  After a BBQ chicken lunch, the four men took a road trip in McCain’s Hummer to view the Grand Canyon.  Reportedly, at one point McCain took Lewis aside and whispered to him “I think you’re better than these other guys.  In fact, despite your personal leanings – and by the way I know you’re not a homo, I think you’re the greatest long jumping force in the history of the world.  Go ahead, lemme see you jump over this here canyon.”

Lewis, interpreting it as a joke, smiled and retorted “You go first!”  McCain, a disappointed expression on his face, then replied “Senators don’t jump canyons,” whereupon he returned to his Hummer to take a phone call.

Call me simple-minded, but I think anyone in favor of war as a solution to America’s problems should be required to participate directly in the war itself, regardless of age, color, gender, or creed.  It may require a few billion or so to be allocated to things like wheel chairs, bedpans, special-assist vans, diaper-changing stations, Rush Limbaugh videos, bibles, Dow Jones tickers, Alzenheimer drugs, tampons, chauffeured limousines, Bush/Cheney posters, morticians, and a few tons of bagels and lox… but what a fighting force it would be!

It would be “the greatest.”

GO OBAMA!!!
