McCAIN: Now, I would like to return to don't ask, don't tell with you and talk some more. Go ahead.
STAR: No.
McCAIN: Go ahead. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready to continue our conversation on it. Okay. Seriously. Go ahead.
STAR: Well I guess I'm just wondering do you see it as some have put it as a civil rights issue?
McCAIN: No. No, I don't. As Colin Powell said when don't ask, don't tell was first inaugurated, there's a difference between sexual preference and the color of one's skin. That was General Powell's statement.
STAR: That was years ago.
McCAIN: He was in favor of it, and now he's come out ... for the repeal. Yeah. I think what he said then still holds true today, that it is a different issue. I think Colin Powell wants to repeal don't ask, don't tell. I don't think he views it now as a civil rights issue, though.
STAR: Why should we review it at all if it's working well?
McCAIN: Because the president wants to repeal the law. The president initiated this. I'm not opposed to reviewing it. It's fine to review it. I think every law ought to be reviewed.

I am so glad I filled a Glad bag with vomit over it. :)
ugh.
Colon Bowel is an idiot and so is McPOS. GO JD!
John McCain: “there’s a difference between sexual preference and the color of one’s foreskin.”
I’d modify it to say, There is a difference between someone’s sexual behavior and the color of the skin.
We 100% all of the time choose our sexual behavior.
Does your spouse hold any opposing political views (assuming you are married?) It’s fairly common.
I don’t know what McCain is supposed to do about it.
“There is something clearly wrong when your wife goes behind your back to challenge you.”
Agreed, I don’t respect Cindy for this at all and am relieved she is not our “first lady.” Although I sure do wish McCain had won.
Yet both movements had a common denominator:
