Slog - Comments on Maverick Moment of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/maverick_moment_of_the_day_9 John McCain on Obama's Berlin speech: "I would rather speak at a rally or a political gathering any place outside of the country after I am president of the United States," McCain told O'Donnell. "But that's a judgment that Sen. Obama and the American people will make." Interesting. Except that McCain has already made well-publicized visits to Canada, Mexico, and Colombia during this campaign....

His smile reminds me of the Grinch.

his campaign is frantically trying to get him a gig in czechoslovakia and somewhere on the iraq-afghanistan border to keep up, though.

These politicians act like we all have amnesia and can't recall the myriad reasons why what they spout is almost always pure hypocrisy.

I hear the guy hates our Constitution so much that, not only did he record a video for international release in Vietnam calling us warmongers and agressors, but he also is trying to get other non-American-born "citizens" like Ahnold to be his VP.

That's how much McSame hates America.
