PITTSBURGH - Cindy McCain's jab to her husband's back came a second too late Tuesday to keep him from making a wisecrack about the health impact of Iran's main import from the United States: cigarettes.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain was asked about an Associated Press report that $158 million in cigarettes have been shipped to Iran during George W. Bush's presidency despite restrictions on U.S. exports to that country.

"Maybe that's a way of killing them," McCain told reporters, smiling as he waited for a cheesesteak sandwich at the Primanti Brothers restaurant. His wife, sitting next to him at the counter, poked his back without looking up.

1. and we should kill them because ...

they are not a democracy AND they torture people AND they dont trust us.

It may be a joke, but its a knee jerk reaction that says it all.

2. ....

Damn fucker.....and damn the media for giving him a free fucking ride.

3. Awful stuff, but didn't he already do that?

"Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran..." Because, you know, contrary to those neo-cons who treat life like a video game, bombing DOES involve killing.

4. Ahhh, John.

Such a whimsical jackanape. What would the world be without you?

5. The media will play this down

This will be played down just like his Beach Boys rendition of "Bomb Bomb Iran."

Death and destruction is entirely acceptable to the media, they crave chaos.

Just look at how they were cheer leading Bush when he attacked Iraq for no reason.

6. He's getting a cheesesteak in Pittsburgh? Ew.

Wrong end of the state John.

7. God, he's so hilarious

We could really be proud with such a compassionate leader.

:puke:

13. This is far worse than the "McCaca" thing nt

8. "28 years. Honey? O yea, 29 years. Sorry guys, my mind was the first thing to go."

9. In all seriousness

One of my best friends is Iranian. He was born there. Grew up there. Now lives here.
And i have this to say to Mr. McNuts: Suck my fuckin balls you cocksucking piece of shit. I DARE YOU to say this to an Iranian face to face, one on one. Lets see how that works for ya.

Saying this shit in a room full of reporters with cameras makes you a chicken shit. And really shows your true character.

10. I guess we'll see if the elections are really fixed.

'cause this guy is a sure fire loser from the beginning. If he "wins" it something is dreadfully wrong with our system.

11. "This is the first I've heard of it."

Don't you pay any attention you ridiculous idiot? Do you just go around saying "bomb Iran" blah blah, "Sunni kill Al queda", "Iran supports Al Queda", "Iran nukular evil", "whatever Lieberman says, that's my position."

Maybe you as a senator to the United States should look into these matters from time to time? What are we selling them? How much commerce takes place between our 2 countries and what do we trade? How can you NOT know this shit? Jesus Mary and Joseph, this guy is such an absurd idiot it is laughable.

[Divine Discontent]

12. "maybe that's a way of killin' em!"

no man that utters that, in response to hearing millions of Iranians get cigarettes from us, should ever become the leader of the free world...

we know how THAT goes though, when you see Der Fuhrer is pResident, but truly, I agree with so many here, he is a LOSER of a candidate - he cannot win - there are too many people who find such hope in Obama and are grossed out by McWarmonger...

he really has it in for the PEOPLE of Iran, doesn't he?

14. Poor Cindy

Is being First Lady really worth listening to your psycho husband make an ass of himself? I know it worked for Laura but have a little more self-respect. Dump his ass now. You're not going to be First Lady anyway, so take your millions and make a life for yourself with the pool boy while there's still time!

15. What do you expect from Cindy?

She's a Stepford Wife!!!
