Non celebrity John McCain on David Letterman in October 2001:
When asked how the war in Afghanistan was progressing, McCain
volunteered that the invasion of Iraq would be the “second phase” of
the War on Terror. He preyed on the public’s fear at the time by
claiming that the anthrax “may have come from Iraq”:
osama?
As Deeky at Shakesville likes to say, “Oh for fuck’s sake.” That’s the stupidest effing thing I’ve heard in a long time, and lately, I’ve been feeling as though I’ve been standing in a cold, slimy, filthy shower of stupid.
Uh Johnny, if you want Anthrax, all you have to do is culture if from cattle soil in Southern Texas.
You like to think that you’re a westerner. You should know that Anthrax is in a lot of places that used to have cattle.
