Ol’ Juan McSame just keeps stepping in it… up to his ears, no less.
From the Washington Post’s “The Trail”:
Sen. John McCain hasn’t had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.
Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to
Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, “Maybe thats a way of killing them.”He quickly caught himself, saying “I meant that as a joke” as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.
Oh Yeah, that’s real nice way to appeal to the centrists who are sizing you up against Obama, you knucklehead.
Michelle Malkin hyperventilates a bit:
I can hear it coming already: faux outrage, MSM feeding frenzy, Worst Person in the World designation, and a 24-hour cycle of cable TV teeth-gnashing over McCain’s off-handed joke about cigarette exports to Iran.
Nope, not this week, Michelle. Keith’s on vacation. At best, Rachel Maddow, who’s subbing for Olbermann this week, will make it a part of the show. Keith’s subs usually do not usually perform the Worst Person in the World bits. Honestly? I think this will be a blip on the radar, really, the left is still frothing at the mouth over Obama’s lurch to the center, and the right, his “supposed” flip flops, or as he calls them, the things that were his positions all along and nobody was paying attention. 😀
But I will say this, McCain really, really, really, needs to work on his humor. between this and that silly “That’s not change you can believe in” along with that laugh, that made him sound like a mental patient. Along that terrible green background. Yeeesh… No wonder he got a new bunch of people to help him out, the previous staff was making him look like an idiot.
……But then again, we are talking about Juan McCain.
