Our Unappealing '08 Candidates: Pt. 2

Sen. McCain visited his favorite 'agent of intolerance' as he looks to the future...

Sen. John McCain, looking to heal a rift with the religious conservatives who undermined his 2000 White House bid, told students graduating at the Rev. Jerry Falwell's university Saturday that Americans have a right to disagree on issues but should maintain respect for each other...

...McCain's address made no direct mention of the political divide that separated McCain and Falwell after the Baptist preacher opposed his campaign for the GOP nomination in 2000 and supported George W. Bush. At the time, McCain labeled Falwell and others on the right and the left as "agents of intolerance."

The two reconciled last fall while still acknowledging that they disagree about some issues. McCain said recently that he no longer considers Falwell an agent of intolerance. Falwell has said no apologies were asked or offered...

Awwwww, isn't that sweet? BFFs!!! <3

Finally, for all his praising of the speech, Andrew sure did use the creepiest picture of McCain ever-



Yikes! Use some chapstick, Senator!
