Gramm-pa McCain's brother says N. Virginia = 'Communist country'

By GottaLaff

Many feet in many mouths today, yes? This is Brother Joe's idea of a joke:

Joe McCain, speaking at an event in support of his brother, called two Democratic-leaning areas in Northern Virginia "communist country," according to a report on The Washington Post's Web site.

"I've lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country," Joe McCain said at an event in Loudon County, Va. [...]

"This was Joe McCain's unsuccessful attempt at humor," said McCain campaign spokeswoman Gail Gitcho. "John McCain and Sarah Palin are committed to winning the support of voters in Northern Virginia and understand the region's importance to victory statewide."

By the way, here's what Obama said earlier today in North Carolina in response to the smears from Grammp's camp:

"We're not gonna let 'em hoodwink ya. Or bamboozle ya. [laughs] We're not gonna let 'em run the okey-doke on ya."

GObama! You betcha.
