Celebrating Memorial Day, The Bush-McCain Way
How did you spend Memorial Day? Not the whole weekend, just Memorial Day itself. With exquisitely poor taste, Dana Perino spent it having poorly executed conniptions about military matters, and John McCain spent it telling Americans what he thinks of them.
