McCain Has Lost His Base! (The Press)

By Zamboni

So John McCain — that unappealing man who laughs in all the wrong places and tells terrible jokes about women getting raped by gorillas — is miffed that the folks in the MSM are paying so much attention to Senator Obama's trip abroad.

Well, we cats are amused by all this. But we're also disgusted.

First, we think that Senator McCain owes an apology to women, gorillas, and everyone else in the whole world. We heartily dislike the way he regularly disparages others — from Senator Clinton, to people of Asian descent, to primates, to his very own wife — and then tries to excuse it as "humor" or "being authentic." If this is "McCain being McCain," we sure don't like McCain. But the media, long in love with the self-described "straight talker" from Arizona, have always given him a pass on this.

But second, we hope that the next time Senator McCain opens his potty mouth to criticize Senator Obama going to Iraq — or not going to Iraq; he hasn't exactly been consistent on this — he'll stop and go after the folks in the Air Force instead. You know — those top brass who want to spend counter-terrorism money on "comfort capsules" for their planes?

Somehow we don't think the guys who parachuted into Normandy just ahead of the D-Day landings rode in "comfort capsules."

But — sigh. We're sure that Senator McCain will have far more nasty things to say about Senator Obama's trip, and the network anchors who allegedly are fawning over it, than he will about this latest outrage from the military. That's McCain being McCain.

We feel a hairball coming on...
