Anchorage Paper: McCain Confused Guard and Army
The E & P Pub- September 20, 2008
From David Hulen at the always-valuable Alaska Politics blog at the Anchorage Daily News tonight:
Candidates spend a lot of time talking, and they all misspeak sometimes. But did anyone else notice this, from Wednesday’s much-covered McCain-Palin Town Hall event in Grand Rapids, Mich., where Palin answered questions from people in the audience? McCain said this near the end of the clip below, as he’s talking up Palin’s foreign policy/national security credentials:
“I also know, if I might remind you, that she is commander of the Alaska National Guard. In fact, you may know that on Sept. 11 a large contingent of the Alaska Guard deployed to Iraq and her son happened to be one of them. So I think she understands our national security challenges…”
The ceremony Palin attended at Fort Wainwright last week didn’t involve the Alaska National Guard. Palin’s son is in the Army, and his unit – 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division – deployed to Iraq.
Keep talking McSenile…
😆
He’s too busy trying to use any talking point to make himself and Palin look good. To hell if it is true, he doesn’t care.
Would one of our wingtard friends care to blow this one off with “all politicians do it,” like they’ve been blowing everything else McFeeble says off?
I would like to suggest shortening the headline to:
McCain confused ….
LOL yeah that covers it!
😆
