"I don't know what I voted," McCain said.

Everyday new examples of the "maverick's" incompetence and flip-flopiness emerge...

At a breakfast with reporters, Fiorina suggested that individuals-and women in particular-be given more flexibility to determine what their health insurance plans should cover. "There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won't cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice," she observed.

When McCain was asked for his position on the issue, he said--with a nervous laugh-"I certainly do not want to discuss that issue."

The reporter pressed. "But apparently you've voted against--"

"I don't know what I voted," McCain said.


The reporter explained that McCain voted against a bill in 2003 that would have required health insurance companies to cover prescription birth control. "Is that still your position?" she persisted.

During the awkward exchange, with several lengthy pauses, McCain said he had no immediate knowledge of the vote. "I've cast thousands of votes in the Senate," McCain said, then continued: "I will respond to--it's a, it's a..."

"Delicate issue," the reporter offered, to a relieved laugh from McCain.

"I don't usually duck an issue, but I'm--I'll try to get back to you," he explained.

1. too bad he doesn't know how to use a computer

he could check thomas.loc.gov to see how he voted on things.

2. He sure has been

doing a lot of "I'll get back to you." crap. And then the press bails him out. Turkeys, all of them.

Health care for women should not be a delicate issue. If he wants the votes of women he'd damn well better be able to explain his votes on issues that are important to them.

3. Can we start making jokes about McCain and Viagra, or is it just too obvious?

:P

6. too obvious

[whistle]

9. Well, here's one....

...John McCain goes to the local drug store and asks the pharmacist for Viagra. The pharmacist says, "That's no problem Senator. How many do you want?"


McCain answers, "Just a few, maybe four, but cut each one into four pieces."


The pharmacist says, "That won't do you any good."


McCain says, "That's all right. I don't need them for sex anymore. I just want it to stick out far enough so I don't pee on my shoes."

4. Seems to have convenient memory loss

can't remember voting against the interest of the common people and in favor of the fat daddies.

5. McCain is not going to survive the GOP nomination process at the convention

You'll have to go elsewhere. Sorry.

8. you'd think that since McCain's campaign had planned on pawning

SO MANY female Clinton supporters, his campaign would have "briefed" him about his views on this, since many of these women were pro-choice.
