The First Two Presidents of the 21st Century


John McCain's Arms

"When they had finished removing my gear and clothes, I felt a sharp pain in my right knee. I looked down and saw that my right foot was resting next to my left knee at a 90 degree angle.

I cried out: 'My God, my leg!

Someone smashed a rifle butt into my shoulder, breaking it. Someone else stuck a bayonet in my ankle and groin."

- Adapted and extracted from Faith of My Fathers, by John McCain

McCain's Brain?

"Ken Mehlman, who ran Bush’s 2004 campaign, is now serving as an unpaid, outside adviser to the Arizona Republican. Karl Rove, the president’s top political hand since his Texas days, recently gave money to McCain and soon after had a private conversation with the senator. A top McCain adviser said both Mehlman and Rove are now informally advising the campaign. Rove refused to detail his conversation with McCain."

Obama's Weak Race Speech

In order to defend his indefensible association with Rev. Wright, Obama did two things: (1) he compared his grandmother to Wright, and (2) he argued implicitly that all black churches engage in Wright's anti-Americanism. Both arguments are shameful. Some leader. As I said three weeks ago (see below).
