John McCain, the so-called war hero who had his plane shot out from under him, couldn't avoid capture, then milked his prisoner of war experience & a fortunate marriage to a flight attendant who's the heiress to the fortune of the largest beer distributor in Arizona, is slinging mud at Rudy Giuliani, who made his fortune from the deaths (many of them directly attributable to his incompetence managing the City of New York) of the victims of 11 September 2001. Or perhaps we should say McCain is slinging Bernie Kerik at Giuliani. Same thing, really.
Proving that Bernard Kerik is a walking political attack ad, Sen. John McCain blasted the former NYPD chief yesterday as an "irresponsible" deserter in Iraq - and a big reason to doubt Rudy Giuliani's judgment.Yes, these fucking jag-offs think they deserve to be the president (or the president's very important helpers) of This Great Nation of Ours™. I beg to fucking differ. (Yeah, we split an infinitve. It's for dramatic effect.)
McCain seized on Kerik's new national notoriety after his indictment to launch a harsh broadside against Republican rival and front-runner Giuliani, questioning whether the
ex-mayor is "qualified to lead."
[...]
McCain charged Kerik all but went AWOL in his 2003 stint in Baghdad as head of training for Iraqi police.
"He stayed two months and one day left - just up and left," McCain told reporters in New Hampshire.
Broadening his attack to include Giuliani's later endorsement of Kerik to head Homeland Security, McCain went on, "That's why I never would've supported him" for that job - "because of his irresponsible act when he was over in Baghdad to try and help train the police.
"One of the reasons why we had so much trouble with the initial training of the police was because he came, didn't do anything and then went out to the airport and left."
McCain's jabs marked the beginning of a day-long, verbal brawl - mostly waged by aides and advisers - between Team Giuliani and Camp McCain.
