Turns Out McCain *is* a Moron

Thus far, amongst the utter rubbish running for President, I’ve been reasonably impressed with John McCain. Sure, he makes Ming The Merciful look like a spring chicken, but at least he has avoided the temptation to talk total crap.

Oh so I thought until I read this article.

Two things stand out. Firstly he:

"…had to apologise after saying of the Clintons' daughter: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno (Bill Clinton's lesbian attorney-general, who was said to have been having an affair with Hillary)."
Nice. Manages to be neither clever nor funny.

And:

"Questioned last year about possible military action against Iran, McCain responded by singing "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys song Barbara Ann. Asked later if he had been insensitive, he said: "Insensitive to what? The Iranians?""
Like Obama before him, we have a US Presidential candidate who makes Bush Junior look positively moderate on foreign policy. Which is utterly terrifying.

Apparently:

"McCain is aware of his problem, admitting he has the personality trait of being a "wiseass"."
Yeah. FYI, Senator McCain, judging by these comments you aren’t a wiseass. You’re an ignorant cunt.

*Sighs*

Why the fucking hell can’t have a US Presidential candidate who doesn’t come across like a power hungry, vindictive, ignorant, thoughtless moron?

Why don't you hear of good, honest candidates? Because the ones who are simply are ignored by the media.

It's required to be a member of the CFR to receive exposure: the 3 candidates who aren't are Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel.

Coincidentally, these 3 men are intelligent, respectful and think deeply about their policies in terms of benefits for the people.

Unlike some other candidates. .

I'm quite a big fan of Ron Paul, and hope that his agenda and policies win more and more support, both in this election campaign and in future ones.
