John McCain is a moron.

icon_mccain.jpgThis morning on CNN, they showed a clip of McCain answering a question regarding health insurance companies covering Viagra, but not birth control. His facial expressions are priceless; but, I can’t find the video! Check out the exchange:

(Update from Mel: Thanks to Sander and Amber for posting the video link.)

Q: Earlier this week, Carly Fiorina was meeting with a bunch of reporters and talked about it being unfair that insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control. And –

McCain: I certainly do not want to discuss that issue. (uneasy laughter)

Q: But apparently you’ve voted against (McCain laughter continues)

McCain: I don’t know what I voted –

Q: Voted against coverage of birth control, forcing health insurance companies to cover birth control in the past. Is that still your position?

McCain: I‚Äôll look at my voting record on it, but I have, uh, (5 second pause) I don‚Äôt recall the vote right now. But I‚Äôll be glad to look at it and get back to you as to why, I don‚Äôt –

Q: I guess her statement was that it was unfair that health-insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control. Do you have an opinion on that?

McCain: (after 8 second pause) I don’t know enough about it to give you an informed answer because I don’t recall the vote, I’ve cast thousands of votes in the Senate. I will respond to – it’s a, it’s a (nervous)

Q: Delicate issue (McCain laughs).

McCain: It’s something that I had not thought much about and I did hear about her response but I hadn’t thought much. But I will get, I will get back to you today on it.

Q: OK.

McCain: I don’t usually duck an issue, but I’m, I’ll try to get back to you.

    PS – The above is the McCain equivalent of the “bitter” thingie. Except it’s the presumptive Treasury Secretary appointee doing the talk about our bitching.

    It’s amazing just how much Republicans really hate America sometimes.
