Straight Talk From The Future!

Posted on May 30, 2008 by andrew

Facts have a well-known temporal bias:

On a McCain campaign conference call,  Senator Jon Kyl did not concede that McCain had made an error in saying “We have drawn down to pre-surge levels,” instead accusing the Obama campaign and reporters of “trying to nitpick the tense of the verb about the surge troops being home.”

“The surge troops will be home by the end of July,” he said.

McCain advisor Randy Scheunemann hit the same talking point.

“To get into a debate about a verb tense rather than the real fundamental national security issues at stake is really a distraction,” he said.

What these nit-pickers clearly fail to understand is that Senator McCain is a Tralfamadorian.
