Sometimes, when I’m majorly writer’s blocked up, a quick trip to visit some of my electronic friends clears that up, right away. The Constitution Club is a group blog, one which includes our good friend P G Warner, and while most of the writers there are conservatives, a couple are from the left. One of those writing from the left is Wes, and he wrote the funniest article around — even though I don’t think that was his intention.
After first excoriating John McCain for the intemperate remarks of some of his supporters, he noted Mr McCain’s statement:
- UPDATE: McCain Speaks Out!
After days of watching in silence, McCain calms the crowd at his Minnesota town meeting.
- “”I am enthusiastic and encouraged by the enthusiasm and I think it’s really good,” McCain said. “We have to fight and i will fight but we will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments and I want to be respectful. I want everyone to be respectful. And let’s make sure we are, because that’s the way politics is done in America.”
Tells one supporter who says he’s scared of an Obama presidency: “I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”
After a woman calls Obama “an Arab,” McCain interrupts to say: “No, ma’am. He is a decent family man, citizen.”
After which point, Wes then concluded:
- Well, bless him for doing the right thing. Maybe we’ll see some civility at the end of this thing yet. It’d be nice if he would pass this message along to his running mate, who’s been a cross between a yapping poodle and a Heather lately.
It’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking a Mountain Dew when I read that, because the idea that Wes would be calling for civility in the campaign, and complimenting John McCain “for doing the right thing,” and them proceed, directly, to calling Senator McCain’s running mate “a cross between a yapping poodle and a Heather lately” is such an hysterical example of liberal hypocrisy that it can’t go unremarked.
Funniest thing I’ve read in a while; too bad that he didn’t intend it to be so.
