Nauseous

Sure, sure.  I understand Memorial Day means an overflowing hopper-full of dueling photo ops with multiple generations of America’s finest.

That doesn’t make me any less nauseous, however, to see these emotionally manipulative newswire shots of McCain lined up with a fallen soldier tribute at the New Mexico Veterans Memorial in Albuquerque. 

I say nauseous, given McCain’s mean-spirited and unfounded opposition to the GI bill (see links below) cashing in on his military service to play himself up as a fiscal conservative.
