At a breakfast with reporters, Fiorina suggested that individuals-and women in particular-be given more flexibility to determine what their health insurance plans should cover. "There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won't cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice," she observed.

When McCain was asked for his position on the issue, he said--with a nervous laugh-"I certainly do not want to discuss that issue."

The reporter pressed. "But apparently you've voted against--"

"I don't know what I voted," McCain said.

The reporter explained that McCain voted against a bill in 2003 that would have required health insurance companies to cover prescription birth control. "Is that still your position?" she persisted.

During the awkward exchange, with several lengthy pauses, McCain said he had no immediate knowledge of the vote. "I've cast thousands of votes in the Senate," McCain said, then continued: "I will respond to--it's a, it's a..."

1. Is it possible McCain is a bigger asshole than Bush
At least Bush would have come up with some totally implausable reason but he would have said something no matter how stupid.

3. Not only possible, he IS a bigger asshole, he could have said something like
...."Bob Dole is the GOP expert on Viagra, go ask him that question". Now McCain will likely have to deal with the issue right through election day and beyond.

5. Well, they're both major assholes on the asshole scale.
I think they both exceed the normal asshole standards, and current scientific methods are not refined to measure such a large amount of asshole-eshness. I can almost say with certainty that McCain is actually stupider than Bush. I mean, a complete mental midget. A retarded, mealy-mouthed, bloated sack of shit of a former human. I can't describe the utter contempt I harbor for McCain. It may only be exceeded by my contempt for Bush and all republicans.

7. But, but, but... Viagra helps to make babies while contraception kills them. I've heard this
bullshit rationalization from pukes.

You cannot debate logically with a republicon. It all comes down to faith with them. And faith does not require truth.

9. He's embarrased to discuss reproductive health issues
he may be in his 70's but he's still an immature frat boy at heart.
