“…which could lead one to conclude that McCain is just simply confused.”

Confused, or stupid? You decide!

Can a 71 year old torture victim with cancer pull off another Gipper Moment in the White House?

O.K. WAIT RIGHT THERE…!

So,
When the US Government, through the funnelling US Tax dollars through the military so as to pay resident neighbors in Iraq a “bounty” reward for “turning in” their neighbor as an American enemy… or not, does it, then that’s NOT a form of human trafficking?

I’m beginning to think the synonym of America is Hypocrisy.

Senile, confused or just plain stupid. To traffic his old carcass, he would have to be used for dog food.

His lack of awareness of the already-existing Task Force is pretty foolish.

But, I have to say, I, too, would want a bit of scrutiny for an *earmark* for *any* conference at the University of Hawaii.

“he would establish a task force to “increase cooperation and communication between” federal agencies to combat human trafficking”

Another big government Republican.

Maybe he can pay for it with an earmark.

McCain said he wanted it and within 10 minutes it existed. Doesn’t that show strong, rapid, leadership ?

If this came from prepared remarks, then one must wonder at the lack of staffing. However, McCain should have caught it. Bush has talked up the program before. Is McCain senile? There are just too many senior moments. Annoying in a senator, deadly when that 3:00am call comes in.

If there was a functioning news media, they could have asked McCorpse about the contradictions mentioned in this article.

The next questions could be as follows:

1) Since you are rightly concerned about this issue, what legislation have you sponsored to address this matter?

2) Have you encountered obstacles to passing such legislation, and if so, how have you applied your leadership skills to address this resistance?

3) In your role as a senior U. S. senator, what action can we anticipate you making to improve this situation BEFORE the November elections?

For his next trick, McCain will propose inventing the Internet.

You know, he probably would. He is so out of the loop that he doesn’t know that his folks already pinned that on Gore.

Maybe he could recruit mr abramhoff to run his program. He has plenty of knowledge on the subject of trafficking from his Marianna Islands connections. If he is unavailable he might recruit one of mr abramhoff’s protege’s.

or he’s a typical republican fraud who says whatever sounds good at the moment because it doesn’t matter what he’s said before because he know the press has too many ribs in their collective mouths to say anything intelligible

Good thin McGramps is so old otherwise we’d have to assume he’s just stupid.

It may be tempting to chalk up this misunderstanding to another one of McCain’s “senior moments,” but his “new idea” came from prepared remarks — which could lead one to conclude that McCain is just simply confused.

They say they didn’t properly vet fat fu(k hagee before humping his leg. What’s their excuse for continually not vetting their own bull$hit? I think these screwups should more aptly be called his “un-prepared” statements.

robbez, I’ve enjoyed your “old coot” line many times. I shall from now on give you full credit if you’re not around to deliver it.

And the Ellison thing — dang. I can’t believe no one saw it before us.

The only reason the old fool is tolerated is because the Rethugs have thrown him and King George the Dumb under the bus. They need a strawman out in front to draw the attention from the individual Senate, House, and local incumbent crooks that want to sneak back in in under the wire. The entire thinking populace of this Country should ignore the old fool and keep pinging at the “lesser lights.” Hillary or Barack will be our next President; that is a given. It behooves all of us to assure they have a filibuster proof majority of NEW Senators and Representatives. We need to clean house of the old bushco and bushco Democrat sycophants like Pelosi and company. We don’t need any more damn investigations and hearings. We need to throw some dumb asses in jail not continue to kiss them and their pocketbooks.
