No More Mr. Nice Guy!

The gaffes keep on coming...

Considering how long John McCain has been dicking over the troops, and hiding behind his decades-old POW experience while stabbing them in the back by voting at George Bush Junior's behest to cut their pay and block them from receiving health care and educational benefits, it's no surprise that he wouldn't know what Walter Reed Hospital looks like - I doubt he's ever been near it.

But I'm surprised that the party that worships the great twin gods Free Market and Private Property has such a track record of ripping off other people's intellectual property, i.e. songs and music. The latest victim is the group Heart, who are understandably pissed that the McCain campaign has stolen their song Barracuda. Apparently this was Sarah Palin's nickname in high school, and I gather it wasn't exactly affectionate, but now she is wearing it as a badge of honor. Which is kind of appropriate when you read the lyrics:

And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Ooh! Barracuda
