Something's Not Right Here...


By Sniffles

John McCain thinks Social Security is a "disgrace." He's also collecting it.

There's an obvious question here — aside from why Senator McCain is taking money from a system he thinks is so terrible. And aside from the fact that he's old enough to receive it.

Why does he need it?

Senator McCain is married to a wildly wealthy woman — for whom he threw his faithful first wife under the bus after he got back from Viet Nam, don'tcha know. And we cats suspect that Mrs. McCain's bank account is even a little fatter today, thanks to the recent sale of Anheuser-Busch to the Belgian company InBev. (Take that, St. Louis! Take that, swing state of Missouri!)

But that's not all. We also assume that Senator McCain is currently drawing a Senate paycheck and a military pension.

Does he really need to triple-dip on the backs of today's young workers?

Perhaps some nice, well-meaning Republican will explain all this to us. In the meantime, we're going to curl up and take a nap.
