Sen. John McCain appeared on the Today Show this morning and continued to promote his idea of a long occupation in Iraq. But whatever merits there may be for his message, his delivery is once again promising to get him into trouble.

When asked if he knew when American troops could start to return home, McCain responded:

"No, but that's not too important. What's important is the casualties in Iraq."

4. Funny comments posted on McCain's official website

The following are some highlights from a post at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/11/2165/55268/106/533829

On John McCain's Official Campaign website, he is selling golf gear. For a while, people were able to post "reviews" of the golf gear, without anyone editting the responses. Here are some of them:

Reviewer: Carol Shepp McCain from Virginia Beach, VA
I got mangled in a car accident and got dumped for a younger richer woman and all I got was this stupid golf gear. Sheesh!

Reviewer: Grand Ol' Duffer. from Fartsville, OH
Great for throwing at kids to GET OFF MY LAWN YOU LITTLE JERKS!

Great gift for your friends and loved ones in the military that are trapped in the sand for the next 100 years.

Reviewer: myglesias from Midcity, DC
This is great for hiding my old talking points against the Bush tax cuts now that I'm for them.

We are at war. Support the troops and go golfing. Oh, and oppose the GI bill, so the soldiers don't get so much money for college. Otherwise, they'll cut and run to some liberal university!

I wore this gear on my last golfing trip with Jack Abramoff at St. Andrews in Scotland. Shaved crucial points off my game! Looking forward to visiting there again, as soon as Jack gets out of the slammer.

I've given up the game June 10, 2008
Reviewer: George W. Bush from Washington, DC United States
Senator McCain, as much as you and I agree on just about every policy and decison that I have made, I'm gonna have to leave out on the farm on this one, buddy.

I've given up golf to honor the sacrifice of our boys and girls in the sand trap, and I think it is poor taste for you to dishonor them by selling golf gear

Wonderful gift for loved ones in sand traps June 10, 2008
Reviewer: Bo Baffett from Arlington, VA United States
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Send one to every service member you know who will be stationed in Iraq over the next hundred or so years.

Reviewer: Francis Ballsnutstein from Montgomery, AL United States

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll be out golfing while the democrats sit at home whining in public forums where no one will hear them! Enjoy your virginity, kids! It's going to last you a lifetime. Oh, and I hope World of Warcraft crashes on you.

Reviewer: Bill Brill from Pensacola, FL United States
I never cottoned to the idea that I should give up my Wednesday golf game just because there's a war on. Our Commander in Chief has already made this sacrifice for us, turning in his clubs out of respect for the 4,000+ families who welcomed home a corpse, rather than their serviceman or servicewoman. So let's hit the links! And what better way than with a John McCain golf bag? Nothing better identifies you with the wealthy, graying elite than zipping your balls behind the proud McCain brand.
