Rockefeller Smears McCain, Feigns Apology
First the smear, from West Virginia’s Charleston Gazette:
Jay defends endorsement of Sen. Obama
April 8, 2008By Paul J. Nyden
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., defended his decision to make an endorsement in the race for president during an interview with Gazette editors on Monday…
Rockefeller criticized Sen. John McCain, the presumed Republican nominee for president. “Senator McCain does have a temper. But today, he speaks in a monotone on the campaign trail.”
Rockefeller believes McCain has become insensitive to many human issues. “McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit.
“What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn’t know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues.” …
Then Mr. Rockefeller’s faux apology, via Fox News:
Rockefeller Apologizes to McCain for Calling Him Hit-and-Run Aviator
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a Barack Obama supporter, apologized to John McCain Tuesday for suggesting to a West Virginia newspaper that the Arizona senator does not care about “the lives of people” caught in the wars he champions, dating back to his Navy service in Vietnam…
On Tuesday, Rockefeller issued a statement, saying, “I have deep respect for John McCain’s honorable and noble service to our country. I made an inaccurate and wrong analogy and I have extended my sincere apology to him.

Obama was clearly on crack when he said that…

Hooo boy….what a pair. Put Rockefeller and Obama together and you just might manage to get at least one reasonably useful neuron out of em. The problem comes from both their egos causing sever strain on the gravitational pull.
