TOP OF THE FOLD:

L.A. TIMES
LAUNCHES DRIVE TO DECLARE DISABLED UNQUALIFIED FOR OFFICE WORK --

THE CHOICE ON JOHN MCCAIN:

EITHER HE'S TOO CRIPPLED TO BE PRESIDENT,
OR HE SHOULD LOSE HIS TAX-FREE MILITARY PENSION

Oh, and by the way, he's old, and he's had cancer.

Read all about it here and pay close attention to the Deep Thoughts of one Robert Schriebman, a senior Pentagon tax advisor and tax attorney who recently retired as a judge advocate for a unit of the California National Guard.
If McCain can hike across the Grand Canyon, then why should he be getting disability payments from the government that are tax-exempt, Schriebman asked.
Ooooooohhhh. And all those Iraq veterans seen running marathons on their prosthetic legs or wheeling through them in specialty wheelchairs -- why are these parasites getting tax-exempt payments, eh? Are there no prisons? Are there no work-houses?

Same goes for this parasite, Marine vet Eugene Roberts, who has run across the United States [for Jesus, no less] on two buggy-springs where his legs used to be until a little contretemps in Vietnam. What would he need a pension for anyway?






L.A. Times
-- first on the ground to, um, doggedly pick up the news. No wonder this kind of crap i
s referred to as a "scoop".
