Imagine ...

the pious little shitfit the DC Punditariat would throw if the democrats started handing out little band-aids at the Denver Convention depicting an US Navy A-4 Skyhawk in full crash and burn mode?
Hell we got a preview of it yesterday when General Clark questioned whether getting shot down over Hanoi was really a core presidential qualification.
And of course, the usual ass-holes rose up in righteous dudgeon screaming for tar and feathers.
Y'know, screw the columnists, General Clark is right, some nasty privileged doofus with an Admiral for a father may become a POW & a hero but that doesn't make him a nice man or even a man honest enough to be president.
For that fact, can Chris Matthews please explain to the rest of us peasants just how John McCain who graduated at the bottom of his class at Annapolis in 1958 got into flight school at all? And NO there was no war at the time so don't tell me there was a huge demand for pilots!
This is just another example of our quadrennial hypocrisy in which GOP slaves and spin doctors are allowed unlimited freedom of action while good democrats are left to apologise for wanting to live in a REAL democracy.
My thinking is simple and brutal, I think it is perfectly all right to question John McCain's patriotism and even his sanity for that fact. Mike Dukakis came in for the same treatment, so did Al Gore and Senator Kerry. If we do not smash down their candidate in the same fashion the GOP will never have any incentive to give up these despicable tactics...pure and simple.
