Huckascreed on McCain semi-scandal

I just love the Alan Keyes reference in the middle. Anytime I think of Keyes, I think of Tim Meadows and an applause tape on SNL.

Had Ted Kennedy said the same things, there'd been applause. The military-loathers would have hollered in glee.

And then he would have come out sober and said the next day, "I meant everything except that I got liberals and conservatives a bit mixed up."

This is my favorite part:

"My father, a Vietnam Veteran, ran for mayor a few years before he died. I helped him manage his campaign. I wrote his speeches. I backed him up because he was my dad and we had many things in common politically. As a boy, he was my war hero.
Before the election, he announced that he would initiate a sales tax increase to pay for a new Veteran's Center, against my protest. I didn't vote for him that year, because values and principles are too important to overlook in favor of personality and associations."

Yeah. The principle of greed vs. all that trivial shit ... why did dad and all those gimpy old vets need to steal my money to build a veterans' center? I mean it's great that they went to war and all that, but I really wanted to buy a fucking Lexus that year, dad knew that. And the fact that he's my father, well, what's that worth to me? As much as a Lexus? I don't think so.

I have no idea exactly what said veterans' center would have cost or what type of services would have been available and how necessary they would have been, but I was pretty much floored by that as well.

God, that's despicable.

I voted against my dad because he wanted to fund a veteran's center?

Sweet Jeebus.

The funniest thing about that was the claim that Hillary is "left" of McGovern.

Hey, the National Journal is telling us that Obama is to the left of Bernie Sanders, who's an actual socialist.

More the reason to vote for Obama (I'd vote for Bernie for prez in a heartbeat, too)

"Some call John Kerry a war hero."
The Department Of The Navy, to name one.
