McCain Suck Up Watch

This might be a regular feature, as we head towards 2008 and John "I'm a Maverick" McCain looks to suck up to the same right wingers who screwed him in 2000. This time McCain is meeting with that beloved homophobe and all around religious nutjob Jerry Falwell. You might remember Falwell as the man who had this to say three days after 9-11, "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve... The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way--all of them who have tried to secularize America--I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen."

Thanks John McCain for showing us just how much courage matters to you. It takes a great deal of courage to cozy up to the hateful right wing of your party. Asshole.
