According to CNN, Cindy McCain is offended. OFFENDED, I say! And what, you may ask, is disturbing Mrs. McCain's delicate sensibilities?
Us, of course. We're such a bunch of meanie poo-poo heads!
Cindy McCain told an interviewer that she was "offended by Barack Obama" and other Democrats who have been hammering her husband John McCain for being unable to immediately answer a question about how many homes he owns.
"I'm offended by Barack Obama saying that about my husband," she told ABC News in an interview set to air Sunday. Asked if she thought Obama had gone too far in his criticism, she said "I do. I do. I really do."
Wow. Well, I'm quite sorry, Cindy. I'm sorry you think we've crossed the line because we think it's ridiculous that an individual cannot answer a simple question. Now, me, I can tell you that I do not own any houses. Yep, I'm a sad little student, and don't have any way to afford one house. I can also tell you my parents own one house, as do most of my friends and relatives. See, it's a simple question, one that can be answered with a simple response.
And while we're on the topic, can I tell you what offends me? I mean, since we are being open with our feelings.
I'm offended that 45.7 million people in this country do not have health insurance. I'm even more offended that some knucklehead associated with your husband decided the solution to this problem is to change the census, and declared that emergency rooms count as health coverage.
I'm offended that there are people out there that think what I do with my uterus is their business. Furthermore, it is offensive to think that encouraging ignorance in our bodies somehow leads to fewer unwanted pregnancies.
I'm offended with the fact that in the 21st century, there are those few who believe that religion needs to be an integral part of science curriculum. It's even more offensive that this argument is promoted as being “fair and balanced”.
I'm offended that, one year ago to this very date, people drown while your husband ate cake. I'm even more offended that your husband's best friend, George, didn't lift a damn finger to help, and used the situation as a photo op.
I'm offended that the only answer your husband has to any serious question is that he was a POW for five years. I find this tactic insulting to any member of our armed services who was in the same situation. I'm sure they do not use it an excuse for any uncomfortable situation.
I'm offended that every day, our brave soldiers come home in a box, having died for a pack of lies created by an administration that has no apologies for it's actions. I'm offended that many more come home with broken bodies and minds, and that your “war hero” husband, has not lifted a finger to assist them in their healing.
I'm offended that your husband has no idea what the rest of us go through – that he cannot even empathize with the fact that people must choose between paying their mortgage and feeding their kids.
I'm offended that politicians of one party are demonized for their infidelities, but those of another are patted on the back. Blue dress my ass, at least Bill didn't dump Hil while she was dying in the hospital, like Newt did, or because she became disfigured after a car accident (sound familiar?)
I'm offended that people think the solution to our energy crisis is to “drill, drill, drill!” Really? Where are we gonna drill? Do they * actually * think Californians are going to meet the oil company rigs as “energy liberators”? And does anyone think, for one minute, the oil drilled here is gonna stay here? Furthermore, I'm completely offended that anyone who makes a suggestion about ways to conserve energy is mocked and treated like a pariah.
Lastly, I'm offended by your offense. Frankly, you have nothing to be offended about. Boo-frecking-hoo that your husband is being called out for being the pompous ass that he is. Unlike the vast majority of us, he'll never have to go without health care, a warm home, or an income.
He will, however, go without one thing. He'll go without ever occupying the White House.
