On Tuesday’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) about his notorious recent shopping trip at a Baghdad market. McCain responded, “I had something picked out for you, too — a little IED to put on your desk.”
Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) last night blasted McCain’s comment, calling it “outrageous” that he would “joke about IEDs when our kids are getting blown up!”
This morning on ABC’s Good Morning America, McCain called Murtha a hysteric. “I don’t know how to react to that kind of hysteria to a comedy show. All I’m going to say to Murtha and others. … Lighten up and get a life.
When he recently faced criticism over his “Bomb bomb Iran” song, McCain similarly responded, “Lighten up and get a life.” Hardly a surprise from someone who thinks it’s “fun” to “misspeak” about the war.
