Straight Talk Excess: John McCain “Jokes” About Killing Iranians With Cigarettes
No-holds-barred comedian John McCain does his Joe Lieberman impersonation
From WaPo:
Sen. John McCain hasn’t had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.
Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, “Maybe thats a way of killing them.”
He quickly caught himself, saying “I meant that as a joke” as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.
It’s funny because they’d die a slow and painful death. Get it?

MORE: The Associated Press version of the story is titled “Wife pokes McCain in the back” (how cute!) and features a great picture of what a douchebag looks like when he forgets how to use his thumbs.
UPDATE: Here’s the video…
The Morning Joe folks thought it was a hoot. Chuck Todd even said, “I think this is what people like about John McCain.” Yeah, people love that he wants to kill Iranians, a majority of whom love Western values and are not murderous fanatics, with lung cancer. Hearts. Minds. Whatever. That logic has served us well for the last seven years or so.
