McCain's breathtaking defense of signing the Iran letter: "I sign lots of letters"

[DonViejo]

Senator John McCain, whom you may remember from that one time he nearly became the president of the United States, has a less-than-satisfactory explanation for why he signed Senator Tom Cotton's open letter to Iranian leaders.

McCain told Politico that:

"I saw the letter, I saw that it looked reasonable to me and I signed it, that’s all. I sign lots of letters."

McCain's statement, reported late on Tuesday when the furor over Cotton's letter had become a national scandal, seems clearly intended to minimize his actions by making them seem commonplace and inconsequential.

Just signing a letter! Who among us hasn't signed letters? Basically the same as the family update your mom mails to all her cousins every Christmas — they're all just "letters."

1. non-thinking response

I have heard so many different responses -- snowing, getting out of town in a hurry, a joke -- all boil down to non-thinking. These guys are worthless -- in my thoughtful opinion!!

2. McCain is sour, because Obama got the bad man his daddy couldn't get.

"Behold I have tamed the Maverick Renegade Outlaw!"

3. Hopefully he will read the letter next time and see where it is going.
