oh john mccain.

it's odd this has mostly been a political commentary blog so far, but gosh darn it, there's just too much wackiness to ignore!

i just read this article, and although this came out earlier this month, it's the first i've heard of this mess up. if you don't like to click on links (because you're afraid you'll miss out on too much of my bloggy goodness), allow me to sum it up:

Reporter to McCain: hey, do condoms help prevent HIV?

John McCain: uhhhhhh...ummmmm....

Reporter: do we need to call the home for you sir? you're in iowa, everything will be ok, you were just having those grandiose fantasies again....

the man seriously didn't know how to answer the question of whether or not condoms helped to prevent HIV. i can only imagine the follow up questions i would want to ask if john mccain told me he was stumped by this question..

"excuse me, mr. mccain....um, do you believe umbrellas keep you from getting wet when it's raining?"

"sir, would you advise the wearing of a mesh tank top and hot pants in the minneapolis/st. paul airport bathrooms if your goal is to get out of there without blowing an Idaho senator?"

sure, these seem like common sense to you and me, but Old Man McCain thinks you can't get pregnant if you do it in a pool, so forgive him for not studying up on all this condom nonsense...he's been busy trying to figure out how to give every american a pool, and how to listen to people without secretly daydreaming of discounted meals.
