| McCain: 'Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran' |
| 2007-04-19 |
| I'm not sure this approach is going to work with today's voters: Another man — wondering if an attack on Iran is in the works — wanted to know when America is going to “send an air mail message to Tehran.” McCain began his answer by changing the words to a popular Beach Boys song. “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,” he sang to the tune of Barbara Ann. “Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That alone should concern us but now they are trying for nuclear capabilities. I totally support the President when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel.” Subtle, John; real subtle... |

| #14 Local Guam radio played BARBARA ANN this AM while referring to McCain comments. I also hummed TINY BUBBLES to myself in honor of DON HO's recent death. |

| #13 "Better than the Donks song 'Shari-a' (to the tune of Frankie Valli's Sherry)" Oh, God... now I've got that song in my mind. And I can't get it out. Thanks a lot, DMFD... |

| #12 While I appreciate the sentiment, the presentation seems a tad... flip for a serious candidate. I like the honesty. This stuff ain't hard. It's the people who don't understand who make it hard. |

| #11 If memory serves, the Beach Boys themselves did this little variant of their song, at a July 4 concert on the Mall, in the shadow of the Washington Monument, in 1980. I was riding my bike past, and heard it myself. I recall the crowd cheering wildly - different time, different country .... |

| #10 Hmmm, John McCain must read Rantburg, or someone on his staff does. I posted that ditty here about a month ago. |

| #9 So now candidates are trying so hard to emulate Reagan that they're copying his comedic misfires? While I appreciate the sentiment, the presentation seems a tad... flip for a serious candidate. |

| #8 If you read between the lines, you'll actually see that John is open to the suggestion that Iran needs to be bombed. |

| #7 I'm not sure this approach is going to work with today's voters Better than the Donks song 'Shari-a' (to the tune of Frankie Valli's Sherry). |

| #5 If McCain is the only candidate who makes the commitment to take down Iran, then he's got my vote. Theocratic Islam must not be allowed to exist. |

| #4 I like the sentiment but I still don't think I could vote for him. Maybe if he chose Duncan Hunter for his running mate... |

| #3 McCain's really been working on polishing his "conservative" image lately. Aside from the WoT, I wish I trusted him more. |
