April 19, 2007McCain Can't Take the Pressure?Is Senator John McCain losing it? From a local newspaper account of a campaign stop McCain made at the VFW Hall at Murrells Inlet, South Carolina: Another man--wondering if an attack on Iran is in the works--wanted to know when America is going to "send an air mail message to Tehran." McCain began his answer by changing the words to a popular Beach Boys song. "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran," he sang to the tune of Barbara Ann. "Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That alone should concern us but now they are trying for nuclear capabilities. I totally support the President when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel." He stopped short of answering the actual question and did not say if he supports an invasion of Iran. McCain has been under plenty of stress lately--slippage in the polls, lousy fundraising totals, misstatements about security in Baghdad. But joking about war? That's not conduct becoming a former POW who wants to be commander in chief. Posted by David Corn at April 19, 2007 12:14 PM |
