Oh, McCain. You Always Give Me Reasons to Hate You!

So, yesterday, I wrote about professional jerk, nincompoop, rage machine, award-winning running mate picker, and general asshole John McCain's new campaign advert, in which he strolls along the border fence with Pinal County, Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu, discussing the awesomeness of the McCain/Kyl Border Security Action Plan.

Guess what?

As Andrea Nill explains on the Wonk Room, "Chances are McCain didn't feature a local border town police chief because that person probably would've told him his ten-point plan is a waste of manpower and resources." Indeed, the assistant police chief in Nogales has said that they have not "witnessed any spillover violence from Mexico." The Santa Cruz County sheriff has also said that the state's new anti-immigration law — which McCain called a "good tool" — is downright racist.
Awesome.

John McCain, you are the WORST.
