This week's WotW is a repeat "wiener". RINO presidential candidate John McCain gets the nod based on his "performance" in an interview with Las Vegas Sun columnist Jon Ralston.
McCommie was asked why he had bypassed the governor and instead chosen the lieutenant governor to serve as the chairman of his Nevada campaign. After a couple of attempts to deflect the question, McCommie tried to get cute.
Maybe it's the governor's approval rating and you are running from him like you are from the president? Asked Ralston in a question McCain clearly found loaded.Inappropriate? Ya think? You see, for every one of us who gets that it's a flip reference to the age-old political gotcha question "When did you stop beating your wife, senator?", there are hundreds of Gomers who are going to take that literally. Good job, Senator Maverick!
Said McCain, chuckling, "And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago."
Some have found the subject of McCain's joke -- wife-beating -- inappropriate.
The second exchange, however, may be less gaffe and more "here's what I'm REALLY going to do once elected". The funny part is, the question was about Nevada sports gambling!
Despite your efforts, and I thought you were running on effectiveness, so how can it be dead?Are you kidding me? He still wants to push for amnesty after the way he got his ass kicked the last time?
I haven't won on every issue. I didn’t win on immigration reform, but I'll go back at it. And I'm glad I did it. (emphasis mine)
You "conservatives" who think that you have to swallow your principles and vote for McCommie just because he's wearing your colors (and isn't nearly the collectivist that Obama is) need to rethink your position. If you think 20 million illegal immigrants is a problem, try 50, or 100. Because once the specter of shamnesty becomes reality, the borders will become a sea of humanity pushing to get across to catch the brass ring.
Senator McCommie, for your continuing gaffes and your love affair with shamnesty, you are the Wiener of the Week.
