McCain's bomb

    'Lighten up and get a life.'???

    He should try saying THAT to family members who've lost a loved one in Iraq (whether they're Americans, Iraqis, or any other nationality).

    One life to a customer, Senator, one to a customer. What these families wouldn't give for "a life" right now -- or even one more HOUR with their loved ones!

    MY outrage isn't burned out right now -- and those of us who have already realized McCain has totally lost it must recognize that a significant number of Americans evidently have NOT reached the same conclusion. Anything that drops the scales from their eyes is welcome.

    As I'd suggested in an earlier response to another item, the media ought to give at least the same kind of overkill to McCain's gaffe as they did to Howard Dean's Iowa scream. It's only fair!
