The NYTimes fact-checks a new MoveOn/AFSCME ad:
ON THE SCREEN A young, blonde mother speaks directly to the camera as she sits on a living room couch, holding on her lap a baby boy dressed in overalls.
THE SCRIPT The woman says, “Hi, John McCain; this is Alex. He’s my first. So far, his talents include trying any new food and chasing after our dog — that, and making my heart pound every time I look at him. So, John McCain, when you said you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because, if you were, you can’t have him.”
The Times duly notes that McCain was contemplating a peace-time occupation similar to the extended presence of USA troops in Germany or South Korea and adds this:
Because advertisement fact-checking reports like this one are never viewed as widely as the spots themselves, a good many people may take from this advertisement that Mr. McCain is supporting 100 years of an overwhelmingly unpopular war.
That's the hope, anyway.
Fuck you pussies. I'm the real James Thompson. And I was only walking briskly.
And what, I ask you rethuglicans, is wrong with pink pointy hats and (fake) fur?
When I was a door gunner on the Space Shuttle, that was part of our uniform. I could tell you some stories, if you weren't all such cowards.
