The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...John McCain!

Hey! Have you heard?

Back in the 1780s, some folks got together and wrote something called the First Amendment. It's this nifty little thing that's supposed to protect free speech, you know.

But don't tell that to John McCain.

The embattled Republican presidential candidate is supposed to be such a "maverick" and all, but lately he just toes the party line. Now McCain has decided to weigh in on the MoveOn flap - and he does so with unfortunate right-wing gusto.

At a speech in New Hampshire, the Arizona senator declared that "MoveOn.org ought to be thrown out of this country."

Um. Why?????

As far as we know, MoveOn hasn't done what conservatives have done. Conservatives are the folks who sent incomprehensible letters to newspapers demanding that the United States mimic Singapore's "justice" system. Maybe the extremist nuts who thought a country that outlawed bubble gum was so great would have been happier there instead of back in the U.S. and A. diluting our elections.

After McCain's tirade, his campaign clarified his words, saying that his speech "did not convey his intended meaning." Then why didn't he say what he meant? Not exactly a Great Communicator, is he?

Oh well. If John McCain wants to make an ass of himself, that's his problem.
