You forgot the HUSSEIN part.....

Some very old and very out of touch senators don't know when it's time to just go away and shut up.

Jim Quinn is an idiot, and pretty much always has been. When I was a kid, he and a guy named "Banana Don" did the morning show on the top 40 station in Pittsburgh. Then along came a sexual harrassment lawsuit and the 1992 election, and he turned into Rush Limbaugh and moved on to talk radio.

I absolutely hate that he uses "from Kenya" as an insult.

FUCK YOU.

@3 Isn.'t that the Glenn Beck route to success?

Funny, listening to his constipatory groans and frets at the beginning made me think, "what a whiny little wuss".

basically he just wants to say "someone should slap this uppity n!@@#$ for insulting and disrespecting that self-respecting brave white man"

I find it a little disturbing that people call McCain a war hero just because he was captured. The only really heroic thing that came out of that was his refusal to be released until the other prisoners were as well. He didn't get shot down while protecting a supply convoy, he didn't get shot down while providing covering the retreat of other troops, he got shot down while flying recon. Veteran? Yes. Praiseworthy for his resolve? Yes. Hero? No.
But yeah, Quinn's a moron. His bit about how "oh, it's not a partisan issue" is particularly numb-nutted.

@8,

Didn't you know? Anyone who has ever served in the armed forces is a hero by definition, no matter in what capacity they served (barbers and cooks also get this honor), whether they participated in combat, or how they actually performed under fire. So says... just about every American.

And didn't McCain refuse to be released in part because he could've been court martialed once he returned home?

@9 - Anyone who served in the armed forces ... except for John Kerry, for whom a Silver Star (for extraordinary heroism against an enemy of the US), a Bronze Star (bravery under fire), and three Purple Hearts (injury requiring medical attention in combat) apparently is not sufficient for heroism.

@ I do not questions McCains heroism one bit. He was tortured and crippled and offered his freedom all to score political points for his captors. He refused. I don't know if I could make that choice. I imagine most wouldn't and I couldn't blame them. What he did took a lot of bravery.

I used to be friends with Quinn's daughter and even she can't stand him. Enough said.

Please wait...
