So, last Monday, I wrote about how John McCain's spokesperson tried to use McCain time in Vietnam as a counterpoint for people pointing out that he had access to the secret forum questions before hand. Now, just four days later, Obama attacks McCain for having seven different houses. To counter that, McCain spokesman Brian Rogers use the same POW argument:
[Rogers] also added: "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison," referring to the prisoner of war camp that McCain was in during the Vietnam War.
Rogers called the house story "by far the most personal attack" of the campaign, and said "it comes from a candidate who said he was against this kind of thing."
Umm...what?
Anywho, I like Trapper John's response over at Daily Kos:
Lord. McCain is Giuliani-like at this point in his single-minded determination to cling to the one positive association that his campaign retains in the public mind. You have to wonder how'd he'd react to other, hypothetical scandals:
McCain Accused Of Taking Bribes From Abramoff: "This is a guy who didn't touch hard currency for five and a half years -- in prison," spokesman Brian Rogers told the Washington Post.
2003 McCain Arrest for DWI Uncovered: "This is a guy who didn't have a sip of booze for five and a half years -- in prison," spokesman Brian Rogers told the Washington Post.
McCain Caught Cheating With 22 Year-Old ASU Intern: "This is a guy who didn't get laid at all for five and a half years -- in prison," spokesman Brian Rogers told the Washington Post.
