If this is not a reason to suspect Sen. John McCain’s judgment I don’t know what is. Last Monday, Rush Limbaugh suggested on his show that John McCain go out to an oil rig and give a speech in support of his proposal to drill offshore. A great photo-op said Limbaugh. Yesterday, all of sudden, the McCain campaign announces that it will be giving a speech from an oil rig to counter Obama’s speech in Berlin. Are you serious??? McCain is taking strategy suggestions from the guy who proclaims himself the leader of the dittoheads…seriously…….I mean seriously!!
The funny thing happened on the way to the rig. The actual rig where McCain was set to deliver his speech is very near the 400,000 gallon oil spill that occurred yesterday in the Mississippi River. There is a time when you have to ask yourself……is the universe trying to tell me something? I can’t remember when the last time we had an oil spill this big….and the day before McCain campaign is scheduled to give a speech on how offshore drilling is the panacea for solving all our energy problems.
This a description of the disaster are by a local paper:
