McCain baffled by condom question

[AYHJA]

Hilarious!

Reporter: "Should U.S. taxpayer money go to places like Africa to fund contraception to prevent AIDS?"

Mr. McCain: "Well I think it’s a combination. The guy I really respect on this is Dr. Coburn. He believes – and I was just reading the thing he wrote– that you should do what you can to encourage abstinence where there is going to be sexual activity. Where that doesn’t succeed, than he thinks that we should employ contraceptives as well. But I agree with him that the first priority is on abstinence. I look to people like Dr. Coburn. I’m not very wise on it."

(Mr. McCain turns to take a question on Iraq, but a moment later looks back to the reporter who asked him about AIDS.)

Mr. McCain: "I haven’t thought about it. Before I give you an answer, let me think about. Let me think about it a little bit because I never got a question about it before. I don’t know if I would use taxpayers’ money for it."

Q: "What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?"

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) "Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy."

Q: "So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?"

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) "You’ve stumped me."

Q: "I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?"

Mr. McCain: (Laughs) "Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception – I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it."

Q: "But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?"

Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) "Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before."

Preach abstinence in Africa?

Is this dude for real?

Answer is: "Why the hell does America have to police the sexual affairs of a supposedly sovereign nation when their own leaders think if they "only leave it in for a little while" they won't catch anything???"

Natural selection surrenders.

In a move reminiscent of the helpful whisper from Joe Lieberman
("Hey asshole, it's insurgents--not Al Qaeda--that Iran is training"),
John McCain's daughter steps in to assist her septagenerian father
with his 'senior moment' on the condom-vs-AIDS controversy.

"Hey, Pops, we put condoms on hotdogs at school in Sex Ed class."
"Look! I can do it no hands!"

NSFW

Spoiler:

Newly found mentor, George Bush, chimed in with:
"Yo, Johnny! I'll show ya how it's done the Republican way."

"Check this out, Walnuts! I can do two at once!
-- and I'm Abstinencin' without them nasty condos the whole time!"

"I tell ya, as long as ya ram it up the ol' poop chute, it's still abstainin'
from that nasty ol' vajayjay-type sexual congress!"

"Yeeeee-Haaaaw!"

oot, generally speaking, AF is a work safe site...So, if you post something that you don't think the boss wants to glance @ when they walk by the cubicle, put it in spoiler tags...

Wow --the 'spoiler' tag is slick.
Never seen it before... but it is such a simple idea.
Thanks!

I might have to use that 'spoiler' tag a lot.
