Marlboro Man
Barack Obama wants to sit down with our enemies; John McCain wants to give them cancer.
I know who I’m voting for.
I can hear it coming already: faux outrage, MSM feeding frenzy, Worst Person in the World designation, and a 24-hour cycle of cable TV teeth-gnashing over McCain’s off-handed joke about cigarette exports to Iran.
Here we go.
In 5, 4, 3, 2…
McCain, known for acerbic comments and for sometimes firing verbally from the hip, was responding to a report that U.S. exports to Iran rose tenfold during President George W. Bush’s term in office despite hostility between the two states.
A rise in cigarette sales was a big part of that, according to an Associated Press analysis of seven years of U.S. trade figures.
“Maybe that’s a way of killing ‘em,” McCain said to reporters during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh.
Send them a million cartons of Virginia Slims, and watch them go crazy.
But this is the McCain I want in the White House.
