Week of August 31, 2008 - September 6, 2008

More On McCain... a fool and an Interview, and oh so apropos now...


I'm swamped with real work - but this was just too juicy to pass on.

Seems a reporter was trying to interview McCain last March on pregnancy, birth control etc. I include this excerpt - but the most laughable part is more towards the end - I just don't want to spoil it for you:

    Mr. McCain: “I haven’t thought about it. Before I give you an answer, let me think about. Let me think about it a little bit because I never got a question about it before. I don’t know if I would use taxpayers’ money for it.”

    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?”

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

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

    Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

Here's a link to the full - but fairly short interview - it's quite the riot...'McCain Stumbles on H.I.V. Prevention'
