John Sidney McCain is not honorable, per U.S. Naval Academy

By GottaLaff

Repeat after me, over and over again: John Sidney McCain is not an honorable naval officer. The first two lines of the United States Naval Academy Honor Concept are:

Midshipmen are persons of integrity: They stand for that which is right.

They tell the truth and ensure that the full truth is known. They do not lie.

I do believe we've more than confirmed that J Sid hasn't fulfilled his obligations:

[I]n the more colloquial sense most of us understand, it's the Academy's honor code, the rules of conduct midshipman are supposed to live by and against which they are judged.

Noun. Verb. Dishonorable.

More of the same: McCain surrogate's blog calls Obama a "fraud" backed by a "pack of goons"

Here I am, back again, although a little late in the game. I did manage to infuriate myself with this (Please note his spelling and punctuation. This guy's a genius):

Joe Repya, the retired Lieutenant Colonel who attacked Obama on behalf of the McCain campaign in a statement, maintains a blog, where he has launched harsher, unedited riffs on a theme that McCain has made the centerpiece of his anti-Obama message: Obama is an inexperienced smooth-talker who cares more about politics than patriotism.

For example, on July 9, Repya wrote:

Is it any wonder that Barack Obama continues to look like the light wieght he is? How can American's seriously consider this fraud and his pack of goons as people competent to lead America at time of war? Please give me someone who actually knows what the US military is and is capable of doing. Not some illetist that wouldn't know and Army uniform from a Chicagop hotel doormans uniform.

And a week later:

I've seen some snake oil salesmen in my day, but the latest from Barack Obama has me stymied. Are there any educated, racial, thoughtful people out there that really believe that Barack Obama can eliminate the world of nuclear weapons?

Find me something to throw. Now.

If they can't win fair

They make shit up.

Sorry, I'm really mad. Background here and here and here.

UPDATE- Go read Bob Herbert's column and then email it to friends (it gets ranked) and digg or whatever you do to it. Let's get it around.

'Nother Update Via Open Left-

It is a very small ad buy, only in Denver, D.C., and Harrisburg.

The question here is why these areas? Could it be that they're just looking to hit the DC media area (so it gets discussed by the talking heads) and Colorado as a freebie?

UPDATE AGAIN- McCain Won. From my feed just now, the top links.
