I guess like everyone else, I was surprised to hear that John McCain was heading to Colombia to discuss the FTAA (free trade area of the americas) but whatever, it seemed like a looser issue for him. Jobs not goods tend to get exported any devotee of Adam Smith could tell you that. But he goes trapsing off to Columbia with his Fem-Bot, Barbiezon of a wife with Dem-Independent-Repbulican Lieberman.
Ok, here I am thinking it is just another stupid move on his part in this half-assed, lack-luster, stuffed shirt of a campaign of his. Could someone bring on the Varsity Team please! Then the hostages are freed this morning and no less than CNN carries his "press conference" Here is his moment to show a little …what is the workd I am looking for….pulse, and talk about his own experiences, how he felt when he was freed. How scared he was as a young man caught up in a desperate situation.
But nothing. He does nothing but annouce that the captives have been freed. Huh? How can he blow this opprotunity? Oh right it is John McCain, he blows more that a Vegas Hooker.
So the question is: How in the name of all that is supposed to be secret, get the info that the raid was about to happen? Who told him? It is a Rovian move to be sure. But how?
Let’s follow this one. There is something here that gets the hair on the back of my neck up.
