Brother John McCain Explains It All For You

by Ian Gurvitz

The following is an excerpt from a chapter on world religions from John McCain's upcoming book: I Spent Five and a Half Years in a Vietnamese Prison Camp and My Mind is as Sharp as a...Ooh, look, a Birdie! Published by Harper Collins.

Purim. The Jewish version of Halloween, in which children dress up in costumes and go door to door, though instead of saying "trick or treat" and receiving candy they say "we are your only ally in the region, give us money and guns and support in the U.N." In this ritual they often employ a ceremonial noisemaker called a grogger which, when twirled in the air, simulates the sound of machine gun fire. This is done every time someone utters the name of Haman, a traditional Purim hobgoblin.

Easter. Christian Ground Hog Day. A holiday commemorating the time when Jesus came out of his grave and saw his shadow, which meant six more weeks of lent, a traditional period of self-denial in which Christians are forbidden from drinking Scotch, playing golf at restricted clubs, wearing plaid pants, or attending pancake breakfasts. Instead they must send all their money and pancakes to the fattest religious leader who, like the traditional sin-eater, takes on all their impurities and because of his heightened spiritual awareness can get rich and fat without his soul being tainted. (See Rev. John Hagee.)

More Holidays explained after the click ... by that seasoned foreign policy expert, John McSame, who has years and years of experience in foreign affairs, who's knowledge of the peoples of the world and the issues that divide them ... well, you get the drift.

My comment:

The John McSame campaign is becoming gaff central. His gaffs can be divided into two categories: a.) the "Ha ha! He doesn't know what the f&$% he's talking about" variety and b.) "Oh, My God! He doesn't know what the f&$% he's talking about" type. His discussion of Jewish holidays in Israel is one of the former. His comments on the support of al Qaeda by Iran is one of the latter.

The common thread in his never ending litany of misstatements is "He doesn't know what the f&$% he's talking about" But, then, he IS the best the Republican's have to offer.

Are you SURE that you want a guy who doesn't know his Shi'ite from Shinola to have his hand on the nuclear trigger when that red phone rings at 3AM?

If Hillary had half a brain she's make a public statement to the effect that "perhaps John McCain HASN'T passed the threshold required to be Commander-in-Chief."
