Does McCain's stupidity make Janet Napolitano, the U.S. homeland security secretary's mistake any smaller?
McCain is a private citizen and he can say whatever the hell he wants and it has very little effect on the US government. Napolitano is in a position of power and her stupidity and ignorance can have very dire effects.
.. but you don't want the truth.. you just want a smoke screen.

Lets go back and read what went on shall we?

I responded with: Perhaps a little because she is also under fire for the veteran comment and thus it distracts away from it.
In truth its more likely that McCain is simply the highest profile person repeating this myth at this time.
Can you understand? I said that perhaps people were missing what she said due to her being under fire for other comments
and that McCain got the press because he was a higher profile person.Its no different then paris hilton flashing her muff getting press compared to whatever NDP candidate did.
Get it? Its not a statement of scope but rather an explanation of why.
