John McCain was out campaigning for Peter Roskam against Tammy Duckworth today. And boy, did he ever
step in it.
"I go out to Walter Reed quite often and see these brave young soldiers who have served and sacrificed so much. Many of them have lost limbs, as you know. And it's a very sad thing to see. But at the same time it's very uplifting. Because these young people are so proud of what they've done... This generation of men and women who are serving in the military are the very, very, very best of us."

Gee, John, I think there might be one of those very uplifting amputees somewhere near where you're speaking. Only problem, at least for you guys, is that her name is Tammy Duckworth and she's running against the douchebag you're endorsing. Is she an exception? Or is your opponent better than the very, very, very best?
