The Gist

Straight Talk

John McCain was pushed to respond to his letter to the gay group Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, claiming gays are an "intolerable risk" to allow in the military. Pam's got the video. More flip-flopping and lurching to the religious right from this desperate fool.

Funny how the sailor in the post below became a "tolerable risk" -- at least for a little while, because they're so desperate for translators, and no on was looking -- that is, until the relgious right whips up their campaign to get him booted again. For the McCain, the real "intolerable risk" is being pro-gay while trying to win the Republican nomination.
