While speaking to the Israeli Knesset yesterday, President Bush compared those who advocate speaking directly to our enemies to Nazi appeasers, a comment interpreted as a hit at Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). Speaking on MSNBC this afternoon, Nancy Pfotenhauer, a policy adviser to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), stood by Bush’s comparison even as she tried to claim that McCain had never used the word appeasement:

PFOTENHAUER: Senator McCain responded directly himself and said he took the president at his word, that those comments were not directed toward Senator Obama. <…>

SHUSTER: Nancy, does the McCain campaign believe that talking to our enemies is the same as appeasing them?

PFOTENHAUER: We have never used the term appeasement and you know that.

Pfotenhauer needs to get her facts straight. First, McCain himself specifically used the word “appeasers” yesterday, insisting “the president is exactly right“:

Zowy, the spinning is giving me a headache! The rethugs are really in trouble!

2. Recorded tape, U Tube, all this modern stuff really confusing the old fart!

He is just too old to realize that just because we are all "his friends", we will still look back to find all of his many lies and distortions! I suspect Obama is salivating at the chance to focus all of his wit, words, and brains on utterly destroying McCain....going to be something to behold!

3. "appeasers" and "appeasement" are two different words so technically....

:sarcasm:
:eyes:

[speedoo]

4. McCain is really a bad campaigner.

He is the nomineee only because the rest of the field was putrid.

This could be a blowout.
