Stephen mourns the passing of the McCain presidential campaign, then quickly distances himself from the fallout.

Mac didn't stand a chance after Rove got done with him in 2000.
Mac didn't stand a chance after he opened his mouth and opened his mouth and opened his mouth and opened his mouth and opened his mouth about his support for Bush. And deservedly so. What I want to see is for him to lose his Senate seat. THAT would be fitting.
Anyone who can say anything more positive about Bush/Cheney than "they should be executed humanely" has no business even thinking of running for president. McCain is just the first of many to go down in flames. Ron Paul may end up winning, just because he will be the last guy standing. The GOP is going to go down in total flames next year. They know it, we know it, and now they are just figuring out who to throw to the lions.
It could be honestly stated now that Jane Fonda is more of a loyal American than the McChurian candidate.
I was a draft resistor during Vietnam, and Fonda embarrassed me, but she was on the side of the angels. One of my best friends, Mark Wefers, was along on that trip and did something stupid, which later got me arrested. He went on Radio Hanoi with Jane and said, "turn your guns around and shoot the real pigs." Meaning their officers. He might have been right, given the quality of officers in Nam, but it was stupid to say. I prefer the Kerry resistance model. I spent time in the Portsmouth naval brig, bringing food and books and stuff to prisoners there, most of whom were deserters, and Kerry was a hero of mine. Fonda is really only despised because she couldn't be drafted and even if she was a male, she was too rich to be drafted. And sitting on an anti-aircraft gun. But she was right, McCain was wrong, Bush is wrong, Cheney is wrong, and the generals Bush hasn't fired for being right are also wrong. Time to drag these suckers out of the White House and dump them in SE Washington and let nature take its course.
Just by coincidence, I'm watching Streamers, a David Mamet anti-Vietnam diatribe. I've only seen a few parts of this before, but it rings true. I had black roommates who came back cured of racism, because they saw white guys treated just as badly as they were. Vietnam had an unplanned effect; they treated everyone like shit and got them killed equally, apart from the college kids. Which is why I refused a college deferment, and a medical one. Both of which were legit.
