Squirming
Want to watch a candidate for president squirm?
Piece of cake: I submit for your perusal Sen. John McCain being asked if he thinks it’s unfair that insurance companies would pay for Viagra but not birth control.
Just past the 1:00 mark, while desperately trying to come up with some way to get out of this mess of a question, he makes a wonderful face that seems to say, “Oh, crap, I’m screwed.”
By someone on an overdose of Viagra, no doubt. Just sayin’.
Wonder if those specific angry women who have said they’d vote for McCain solely because Hillary isn’t the Democratic nominee are well-versed in McCain’s positions on such matters.
Somehow I doubt it.
And to those who like to talk about how the media “never” covers such things, you’ll note that this particular clip aired on CNN, which, last time I checked, is part of the media.

Well I think it is interesting he doesn’t recall a vote of that magnitude! I do think anyone might react like that if they did not think about this first & it is a VERY important issue. I do even see them differently & not comparable! Birth Control is not the same as making some part of your anatomy working. If we had a pill for women that would get them more excited (anatomy) then I would compare that to Viagra. The equivalent would be if you had a pill that stopped sperm production…now why haven’t they been able to do that yet when they build rocket ships, atom splitters and GPS!
