McCain: "Obama wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong."

McCain responds to Obama in tough enough, if predictable, language:

"While Senator Obama's two years in the U.S. Senate certainly entitle him to vote against funding our troops, my service and experience combined with conversations with military leaders on the ground in Iraq lead me to believe that we must give this new strategy a chance to succeed because the consequences of failure would be catastrophic to our nation's security."

But, McCain being McCain, he can't help himself and goes the next step in the statement's kicker:

"By the way, Senator Obama, it's a 'flak' jacket, not a 'flack' jacket."

Which is to say, "there is only one of us in this argument who has ever worn the uniform." (my words)

And if you still don't get it, a McCain aide blows away the anthill with, well, a rocket.

"Obama wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong."

Sen. Obama replies “Senator, I know perfectly well what a Role Playing Game is. I was a sixth-level magic user, back in the day before video games, when all we had was D&D and we actually had to use our imaginations.”

Problem is...McCain often acts as if he’s just smoked a bong.

Got that right.

"Obama wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong."

Does this statement mean that McCain would be able to identify a BONG???

Actually, Obama brags about his drug use history in one of his books.

At least Hussein Osama's honest enough to admit that he actually inhaled.

Hard hitting.

I always liked McCain. Maybe things would have turned out better if he would had gotten the nomination back in 2000.

Yeah, telling the truth is childish and unstable ... Silly McCain! (/sarcasm off)

Obama is an admitted (hard) drug user. The guy who wants to be the chief law enforcement officer of the country cannot pass a simple background investigation for most American police departments.

McCain's Statement "Obama wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong." is awful
logic. Obama may not know how to spell RPG but
he surely knows bong thanks to his heavy research into hard drug usage among afro-Euro-muslim-Americans.
