LOL!!! Lemma guess... Does it start with the letter U??

"He happens to be a war hero."

MEMO TO AUTHOR:

Hero's are the one that freed POW's. POW's don't win wars.

[So Cal Rocket]

What a stupid, stupid, stupid idea... this is wrong on so many levels... not to mention that the Arizona Governor would appoint a Democrat to fill McCain's seat.

[Just mythoughts]

See, the pretender hawk is leading yet another insurrection.

[TheSpottedOwl]

McCain for early retirement! Pass the strawberries...

I don't know what the beef is about Rumsfeld, unless it's just another cheap shot at Bush. Personally, I think the guy is doing a good job.

[chris1]

I would not hire McCain for Secretary of my office, let alone defense.

[Obadiah]

Ha,ha,ha...ha,ha,ha...uh...yeah, that one.

[Izzy Dunne]

Surely, the Administration is not that out of touch.

No, they're not.

And don't call me Shirley.

;->

[Coop]

We know President Bush isn't big on admitting mistakes,

This is such a crock

[TommyDale]

McCain wouldn't get my vote as a dogcatcher in my county.

[jos65]

Surely you jest.

[Coop]

So what do you think of the article you posted?

[snugs]

As much as I cannot stand McCain I think that one is a little below the belt.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

McCain? Defense? Are you kidding me, who writes this BS

Seems to be a specialty of the Weekly Standard.

[hellinahandcart]

Some people have lost their flippin' minds.

[roses of sharon]

More evidence of media manipulation of policy, and Americans.

So the media will give McCain better PR than Rumsfeld, and somehow the Islamic cult suicide bombers in Iraq and elsewhere will cease??

No.

But the coverage and tone of that coverage will cease to be negative against the US.

They are admitting that their monopoly on information and opinion making will suddenly change.

If McCain become SOD, a Dem wins the Pres or Congress, the suicide bombers will be "failing", will be called the murderers they are, will be scorned for their work against the Iraqi people and a civilized nation, and the US will be "winning".

I wouldn't hire him to drive my yard garbage out to the dump.

He can best serve the United States by retiring and shutting the hell up.

[chris1]

He seems really out there lately. Advocating for illegals, curtailing 1st Amendement, etc etc.

[Phsstpok]

Delusional.

These people are totally divorced from reality.

That's not hyperbole. I really think they're crazy.

I wonder if there's something in the water? It would probably have to be bottled water to strike at the crowd exhibiting these symptoms. An Evian plague?
