McCain Does The Bomb Song

For those of you up on your American slang, the headline does not mean John McCain knows how to sing well, or at all for that matter. He did however belt out a tune that honestly leaves a disturbing image in my head. When answering a question from a fan about Iran, he decided to turn his response into a song, a cheap rip off of "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys.

From The Georgetown Times:

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.”

He stopped short of answering the actual question and did not say if he supports an invasion of Iran.

First of all he knows we can't invade Iran because we simply do not have the troops to carry out such an epic endeavor. Invading Iran would be nothing like our soiree in Iraq and we would be punished accordingly. Iran is the regional power and is far more advanced than Iraq was 4 years ago when they were conquered.

And most importantly in the context of this story...WTF John McCain? How does a rational person make sense of a Presidential candidate making joke about bombing the crap out of Iran? It is not a comical matter. You are talking about significant loss of civilians lives and who knows what Iranian revenge would be for our own soldiers. Bombing another country is not something to take lightly, what we should take lightly is thinking that McCain has a serious shot at the White House. He can't help himself from looking foolish every chance he's got.
