Veterans Snub Allen, McCain

Even a power hitter like John McCain (R-Hypocrite) couldn't drum up support among his fellow veterans to attend a rally for George Allen (R-Racist Pig) in the Virginia senate race.

According to the story in the local newspaper, the best he could do was get a couple dozen veterans to come out for the rally -- and this was in Norfolk, for chrissake.

There were as many news media people there as veterans, and the whole thing sounds like it came off as a first class cluster fuck.

Of course it didn't help Allen at all when the clueless McCain made some lame-ass joke about a monkey flying an airplane. He didn't actually say it was a Macaque monkey, but that would be just asking too much. It would be icing on the cake.
