John McCain: mad cow

How else can you explain his frequent and outrageous gaffs—or, more to the point, his even more outrageous walkbacks from his gaffs?

“No, I was thinking about- it’s not hard to- we will not,” McCain stumbled. “By eliminating our dependency on foreign oil, we will not have to have our national security threatened by a cut off of that oil. Because we will be dependent, because we won’t be dependent, we will no longer be dependent on foreign oil. That’s what my remarks were.”

Mad Cow McCain—to quote a large purveyor of chopped bovine: “I’m lovin’ it.”
