McCain Says Rove Blew Up ‘Old Man of the Mountain -old news?
I have never heard this


Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) charges Karl Rove with blowing up New Hampshire’s ‘Old Man of the Mountain,’ in exclusive video footage obtained by The New Hampshire Gazette.

Rove, arguably the man most responsible for George W. Bush’s occupancy of the Oval Office, dynamited the distinctive and much-revered rock formation one year ago this May 2nd “in a fit of anger,” McCain says on the tape.

Asked if Rove’s motive was “to spite the people of New Hampshire” for rejecting his candidate, Republican George W. Bush, in the 2000 presidential primary, the Senator replied, “Everything that I heard — yes.”

McCain also revealed he has pushed for a federal investigation of the incident. “I’ve asked the FBI on several occasions to investigate that,” he said.

4. Then why did McCain say what he did?
just curious about how McCain could openly accuse (although, maybe jokingly) the BFEE of something and still be alive/in power?

5. Vermin Supreme, no less
Last I saw him, he was campaigning for 'Emperor of North America' on State St (in Madison) while wearing a rubber boot on his head.
