McCain's Big Pittsburg Story He Screwed Up Bigtime. Heard today from Rachael
Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 08:59 PM by EV_Ares
that today when he was in Pittsburg, PA & was doing a TV station interview. The interviewer asked him what the first thing was he thought of when he thought of Pittsburg & McCain answered the Steelers. He then proceeded to tell the story of when he was a POW & they were trying to extract info from him & he recited the Steelers Defensive Line.

The problem with this though and Rachael went to the page in his book and when he has told this story before, it was the Greenbay Packers Offensive Line. As Rachael asked, is his memory this bad or what is going on here.

I agree with her also, with all the missteps of his campaign this week, especially Phil Graham's remark, where is the media. Also, what he said in Pittsburg is a big deal because he is trying to use his military hero status and can't keep his stories straight. Like Rachael said, they are still talking about Barack's "bitter" remark including McCain. She wants Barack to hammer away at these things.

The other guy on the show said something like this was a big deal in Pittsburg where the Steelers are loved by their fans and the same with Greenbay. How are they going to feel? Might cost him a state.

1. This is bigger than the story of Rudy 9iu11ani getting his New York Style Deli platters from Boston.

2. In a sane world, John McAnus as a pres nominee would be a laughable thought.

Oh, wait, never mind.

7. McLame stoops to outright lying now.
He doesn't want to talk about his POW days but brings it up all the time & now he lies about it.
