Why Does John McCain Hate America?

July 21, 2008

I mean, really. Would a real patriot stand by while Rudy Giuliani’s wife shows such blatant disrespect for the national anthem and our nation’s flag? Not one American flag pin to be seen in this picture anywhere. Not one.         On a less Malkinish note, I can’t tell who would excite me [...]
