This blog's no friend of Sen.
John "Grampypants" McCain, but while we often question his politics and judgement, we've never questioned his loyalty to his country. Frankly, only a demagogue would do that. Enter Texas teabagger extremist
Rep. Louie "Screwy" Gohmert (Loon-TX), who
according to reports:
".....implied that Sen. John McCain is a supporter of al Qaeda. In his opening statement at a town hall forum during Washington, D.C.’s Values Voters Summit, an annual conservative meeting, Gohmert attacked a certain Arizona senator—who was very clearly not Jeff Flake—as 'a guy who's been to Syria and supported al Qaeda and rebels.'"
Grampypants' injuries sustained during his capture and imprisonment in North Vietnam render him incapable of raising his arms above a certain level. So while McCain's office has already said he wouldn't dignify Screwy's remarks by commenting, we were hoping that McCain's condition won't prevent the Arizona Senator from beating the sh*t out of Screwy for his slander at some point.
