John McCain Channels Dead Generals

This is hilarious. John McCain, who only wants to follow the advice of military leaders on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," ignores their advice if it's against the DADT policy. Meaning he has his opinion and credits it to the military leaders who agree with him. Why not just cut out the middle man and say it's his own opinion PERIOD?

Now he's got some big letter on the subject that's signed by a bunch of military leaders, some of whom are dead. One guy was dead when it was published, and his wife signed it for him. Jason Linkins at the Huffington Post article says he might get George Armstrong Custer's signature before long!

Why does John McCain need this kind of stuff? Is his life really so pathetic that he's reduced to channeling the dead to back up opinions he already has? Of course we remember the 2008 campaign. There's no depth he won't descend to to make a bad point. But the campaign's over, he could be a normal guy if he wanted.

On the other hand, he's not the brainiest guy in the world. He's the guy who thought Sarah Palin would make a terrific president ... IF ...
