McCain, Pandering Builder of "Goddamned" Walls

I can't decide which is worse, the godawful picture of St. John McCain in the latest issue of Vanity Fair, or this goddamned excerpt:

But God knows McCain is trying. He began this mid-October day in Sioux City, appearing at a fund-raising Siouxland Breakfast for Representative Steve King, an immigration hard-liner. Recently he had called McCain an "amnesty mercenary" for daring to work with Senator Ted Kennedy on a compromise bill that would provide an eventual path to citizenship for the millions of immigrant workers already in the United States illegally. A day earlier, in Milwaukee, in front of an audience of more sympathetic businessmen, McCain had been asked how debate over the immigration bill was playing politically. "In the short term, it probably galvanizes our base," he said. "In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics, you'll pay a heavy price." Then he added, unable to help himself, "By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I'll build the goddamned fence if they want it." (emphasis mine)

Looks like the Straight-Talk Express should be re-named Pandering Parkway.

And really. Go look at the pic. Yikes.
