In a Sharpton-like gesture, MoveOn.org is launching a $100,000 TV campaign against some lame ass joke made by an even lamer John McCain. And just think, I once said that if I ever had to choose between McCain and some other Republican, I would choose McCain.
I agree, the joke was tasteless and his response to criticisms doesn't help. I don't know where he got this sudden Bushist-type attitude, but it is not helping to win over a country that is growing increasingly against this fiasco also known as a war.
However, ML is quick to point out that wasting precious liberal dollars to essentially wag a finger over a stupid statement made by a peripheral candidate in the pre-primaries is even stupider than the the joke itself. It would be different if we were the religious right (Or Hillary Clinton)with a SHITload of money to spend, but we're not. Organizations like MoveOn need to conserve their warchests for when the rubber meets the road in election season.

McCain ruined every chance he had at being a "decent republican" with that one!
