teeing off on John McCain

John McCain is so attuned to the times!

By now you may have heard about the home page of John McBush McCain, where alongside his campaign strategy and Iraq policy is an equally weighted section devoted to “Golf Gear.” An indication of the demographics of his supporters, and his savvy grasp of the Internets.

The site has brought him blogospheric ridicule, but less funny is McCain’s latest assertion that it’s “not too important” when U.S. troops come home from Iraq. In this clip (after jump) he stresses that reducing casualties is what’s essential, oblivious to the fact that every day our soldiers are mired in a hostile land, away from their families, at a cost of $343 million per day, is a casualty for American taxpayers.

If you’re old, rich, white and puttering around a golf course, you probably aren’t concerned, anyway.

    Before the campaign took down the golf section, viewers were able to comment on the products for sale, unmoderated.

    This was the funniest review of McCain’s golf balls:
