Really classy.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain took one look at a nursing school’s training mannequin and asked if the dummy’s name was Hillary.
Campaigning Thursday at the University of South Carolina Upstate nursing school, McCain couldn’t resist a swipe at Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“I was very glad to meet the dummy, named ‘Hillary,'” McCain said to laughter after a tour of the school. “Is that the name?”
It wasn’t. The dummy, or human simulator, doesn’t have a name.
I realize that there’s that whole “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican” rule, but what with it being primary season, and what with your campaign sucking like a big sucky thing, shouldn’t you be taking swipes at the Republican frontrunner, albeit in a less obviously hateful way?
