After all, being a bigot requires a lot of lying normally. I guess operating the 'Straight Talk' express is literally true, but not in the way intended.
The Secretary of Defense is a political appointee who's never been in the military. And the president, obviously, has had no background or experience in the military whatsoever. It was a campaign pledge to the gay and lesbian community."
Okay, two things.
First, McCain is obviously confusing Bill Gates, who as TPM points out was in the military, with Dick 'Other Priorities' Cheney, who decidedly was not.
Second, saying Obama cannot make policy recommendations at the guy elected "Commander-in-Chief" by the guy who decidedly WAS NOT, because he was never in the military, is like saying Lyndon Johnson couldn't push for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because he'd never been black or female.
Oops, a third thing.
John McCain is a pathetic, bigoted, asshole.
