Slowpoke Comic: "McCain, Viagra, and the Pill"

If you haven't seen the video clip of McCain flaking out after being asked about insurance companies covering Viagra but not the Pill, you should check it out. I love the way he grumbles "I certainly do not want to discuss that" as though someone just asked him to describe his favorite sexual position (sorry to put that image in your head), instead of a simple question about health care that directly concerns half the population. Dude proved himself a fossil right then and there. And by fossil, I mean culturally old-school; Justice John Paul Stevens may be 88, but he's younger than McCain.

Also, did you hear the one about the Bush administration trying to officially label birth control "abortion"? Oh yeah. The Department of Health and Human Services is working on that spectacular perversion of science right now. As Amanda says over on Pandagon, this really is not about the fetuses anymore, but restricting the freedom to boink. (My phrasing, not hers.)
