McCain is actually funny


McCain is coming up big with me lately. First off all, he actually seems to have a sense of humor and a good memory of facts. I thought the whole "Maybe his solution will be to get out his small varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his lawn" comment directed towards Romney was just a joke. I didn't know there was background to the whole incident.

"Then, with a chuckle, he made his cutting quip that referenced two embarrassing episodes for Romney in the past six months.

Romney has faced criticism for calling himself a lifelong hunter even though he joined the National Rifle Association in August and officials in four states where he has lived said he never took out a hunting license. Defending himself, he said in April, "I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter, small varmints, if you will."

Also, The Boston Globe reported late last year that several illegal immigrants, including at least one from Guatemala, worked at the lawn care company that worked on Romney's two-and-a-half acre property in a Boston suburb for a decade. His aides have said that Romney was not aware of the workers' status, and that the owner was in the country legally."


Btw: I am not happy with the Dems for delaying the bill in the Senate. The more time this takes, more ridiculous amendments will be added to the bill.
