PHOTO: Politico dresses up 6-year old son as solider to meet McCain

[Bluebear]

I assume the elder Duncan is resigned to his son going to Iraq in 12 years or so, since McCain predicts we will be there for a hundred years.

Also: I don't think McCain's stylist is doing him any favors letting him wear those post-cataract looking sunglasses!

Carson Duncan, 6, center, dressed as a soldier starts to feel the heat as Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., right, shakes hands with his father Pinellas County Commissioner Ronnie Duncan upon McCain's arrival on the tarmac of the airport in St. Petersburg, Fla., Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Duncan's parents dressed up Carson to meet the presidential candidate.

2. If dad thinks this is such a terrific war, perhaps he should enlist/re-enlist.

I am so sick of these assholes.

9. Ronnie Duncan is a very typical rethug:

He's apparantly a chickenhawk who has not served himself but thinks the Iraq War is just dandy:

And he's also short on ethics, if not an actual criminal:
