"Endorsements R Us!" - John McCain

First it was John Hagee, the mental cripple from San Antonio. Next came Rod Parsley, the deranged con man from Ohio. Now comes the best of the rest.

We're talking, of course, about people who have endorsed John McCain for president of the United States. It isn't relevant that McCain has "dis-endorsed" both Hagee and Parsley and that they, in turn, "dis-endorsed" McCain. The fact remains that both of these religious wackos thought McCain the best candidate to serve their particular and egregious dreams for our country and McCain was so greedy for the presidency, he actually sought out their endorsements!

The "dis-endorsements" would never have happened if the media and not finally been pressured into revealing the hokey creepiness of Hagee and Parsley.


McCain, as you no doubt have read, has a new "endorsement." This from none other than the man who was McCain's "jailer" when he was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. Tran Trong Duyet, 75, said he would give McCain his vote if he were an American voter.

According to Tran, he and McCain were "buddies." Tran claims further that McCain was not beaten and/or tortured -- that McCain made all of that up. Tran says he and McCain would get together when Tran was off duty and McCain would correct Tran's English and they had a great old time. McCain had a wonderful sense of humor, says Tran.

McCain is also "tough," says Tran. " ... In all of our debates, he never admitted that the war was a mistake."


What a guy! And what endorsements. Two off-the-wall TV preacher-crooks and now his Vietnamese communist warden! Can't get much better than that!

Oh, right, we forgot. McCain also has the endorsement of 99 percent of all the lobbyists in Washington, D.C. (Just kidding. It's probably true, though.)
