Tip of the Hat to Daily Kos, both for this image and for the story that follows. Since questions of sexism and politics recently re-emerged as a hotbutton topic on our award-winning blog, and since Harrogate has heard so many women point out the Issue at the center of this clip, Harrogate thought he'd run it up the flagpole (heh, Harrogate said 'flagpole').
Hopefully to the delight of all our Readers, here we see McCain being grilled by a reporter about the fact that insurance companies routinely cover Viagra, but not Birth Control pills. His tortured (no pun intended) effort to get out of this Rhetorical Situation is about as entertaining as it gets in these dry-ass press conferences.
Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this! It just reinforces my position against McCain. I can't help but be amazed, though, at his complete failure to make some utterance of an opinion on the matter. Not even the slightest acknowledgement that he understood what was at stake in these policies. I'm really just speechless at his ignorance, and really there is *no* other appropriate word for it.
