More On McCain...

<b>Yes, the pun IS intended</b><i> (garsh, ain't I cute)</i>

Has anyone ever had the opportunity to <a href="http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/03/16/mccain-stumbles-on-hiv-prevention/">savor this incredibly tasty tidbit?</a>

A sampler from the article:
<blockquote>Q: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should
they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be
Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”</blockquote>


<blockquote>Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”</blockquote>


<blockquote>Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just
abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”</blockquote>


<blockquote>Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”</blockquote>


I mean - the folly of it all! Imagine McCain trying to beat back these sorts of fires. Sure the narrowest minded twits would like this, but other than that....

I must say - not only have I a box of  'strike anywhere' matches, I've been collecting kindling, too.
