Stumping for Hillary Clinton, aging, wrinkled, and lonley old feminist icon Gloria Steniem questioned whether Sen. John McCain's time as a prisoner of war serves as a qualification to be president.
"Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. [The media would ask], ‘What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive for eight years?’
I mean, hello? This is supposed to be a qualification to be president? I don’t think so."
Right, Gloria. Because there just ain't no torture like the torture of being a woman married to a serial philanderer. That's the right experience to be commander-in-chief. I guess when the next al-Qaeda attack comes, we can count on Hillary! Clinton to repel it single handedly by throwing a vase.
UPDATE: There may be a theme developing here. Former NATO commander and mad bomber Gen. Wes Clark also questioned McCain's military experience as a qualification for president in a conference call arranged by the Clinton campaign.
"He's a great man and an honorable man. But having served as a fighter pilot — and I know my experience as a company commander in Vietnam — that doesn’t prepare you to be commander-in-chief in terms of dealing with the national strategic issues that are involved. It may give you a feeling for what the troops are going through in the process, but it doesn't give you the experience first hand of the national strategic issues."
Too bad Sen. McCain never made the rank of Admiral. Maybe then he could've bombed a Chinese embassy and come close to starting a shooting war with the Russian Army like experienced ol' Wes did.
