‘I’ve already left, Elaine. I’m in Burma.”
“Burma?”
“You most likely know it as Myanmar, but it will always be Burma to me. Bonne chance, Elaine. You there on the motorbike! Sell me one of your melons!”
What a typically vague headline and body.
So some guy who used to work with McCain somehow once represented the Burmese government (per some blog most of us have never heard of)?
You’re new around here, but mighty prolific posting-wise.
In other words, McCain has NOTHING to do with any of this gobbedlygook.
I would defend McCain’s right to keep this guy on. It might hurt him though.
It bothers me that people can be so easily trashed. The left can deal with any seditious, treasonous or terroristic person on the planet and it’s okay.
Some guy on the right six years ago had a remote connection to a regime where there’s problems today, and now he’s unable to work to put a convention on.
I defend McCain’s right to keep this guy on, and to hell with what the Democrats think.
McCain probably did the right thing here, as much as I don’t like the outcome. It does say the guy withdrew on his own too, so I guess I shouldn’t attribute the proper course of action to McCain out of fairness.
Well, I guess he has that blimp thing to fall back on.
