Vice President Petraeus

By GottaLaff

J Sid is inconsitent on so many levels I'm losing track. Let's start with McHypocrite:

In May, Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen published a letter to uniformed soldiers warning that “the U.S. military must remain apolitical at all times.” Five days later, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was forced to publicly apologize for using a picture of himself with Gen. David Petraeus in campaign fundraising materials, saying, “It won’t happen again.”

Yesterday, however, the McCain campaign once again politicized the military and Gen. Petraeus, now the Central Command chief, by floating the idea of asking Petraeus to be McCain’s vice presidential pick:

People close to the campaign also floated a wild-card choice, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Iraq. They said it was not beyond the realm of possibility that Mr. McCain would ask him to join the ticket, although General Petraeus has no experience in elective government and has said repeatedly that he is not interested in the vice presidency. … The adviser said the campaign was putting forth his name in part in a bid for attention.

He needs more attention? What, he's now 72 going on 5?

Unfortunately for McCain, Petraeus has said he would refuse to ever run for office.

So what J Sid is really doing is linking himself to the Iraq war debacle, the military, America's darlingest general ever, and the imagery of the two of them walking down the aisle in sweet wedded uniformed bliss.

You'll never see the corporate media give his hypocrisy its due. Had it been Obama who had floated Petraeus, he'd be accused of playing uppity presumptuous dress-up while exploiting the military for his ambitiousy presidentially biddy gain.
