Presidential Politics

From the latest issue of Business Week

Maria Bartiromo:
How is America perceived around the world?

John McCain:
It's worse probably than it has ever been. When I'm President, I will close Guantánamo Bay. I will address climate change in the most serious fashion. And we will never torture another person being held in detention. And I would be humble.

Not that I'm rooting for the Republicans to win this next presidential election, but I am discouraged that the one Republican candidate that seems to have any real intergrity and not just flip flop himself to appeal to a conservative base (see: Romney, Giuliani), is again going to lose to a candidate who is full of shit (Giuliani) but extremely well-funded. After reading that interview I check out McCain's wikipedia page to see the extent to which he had been tortured as a POW and the shit was bananas.

Apparently he also once joked, "why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."
