Several cringe-worthy McCain just don't get it moments, bst captured in the headline:
McCain surprised by Iowans' strong immigrant views
You're outside the Beltway now, John, deep in the dark heart of the Steve King constituency, where people don't like hearin' folks talkin' Meskin. If he didn't get it then, this nativist paranoid question should have clued him in:
"This is a little different than some of the questions," one woman said, before asking McCain if he knew of a plan for the United States to unite with Mexico and Canada.
"Ma'am, I want to assure you," McCain replied, "we will not be united with any of those two countries."
Of course, that's just because we're skipping over that step and going straight to the One World Socialist Government.
Other wacky happenings:
New Congressman William Hughes of New Jersey held a town meeting to keep in touch with people back home. He explained that he is a federal legislator, "I don't take care of your potholes, I don't pick up your trash."
A woman asked a question about why her trash wasn't being picked up on the day it was supposed to be and dogs were getting into it. He explained, "You know madam, as I indicated to you, I'm a federal legislator. I work on the federal budget and national issues. And what you should do is contact either your mayor or your local commissioner of public works."
Without a hint of sarcasm, the woman looked her hot new Congressman directly in the eye and said, "I didn't want to start that high."
But in a sign that maybe he does get the GOP base, Mac tells the New York Times: "he has never appeared in drag." And he knows the base well enough to leave out the Seinfeld Disclaimer.
