Gotta love those Milwaukee-ans...
McCain booed during AFL-CIO speech:
"I was impressed with his comedy routine and ability to tap dance without music. But I was impressed with nothing else about him," said John Wasniewski of Milwaukee. "He's supposed to be Mr. Straight Talk?"
Others said McCain showed some moxie, if not the best political judgment.
"Most of us don't agree with him on immigration, but I give him credit for trying," said Chris D. Schoenbeck of Milwaukee.
Note: The event was NOT even held in Milwaukee -- it was in D.C.
Oh, and one of my other favorite parts from the story:
In the speech, McCain also argued that withdrawing U.S. troops prematurely from Iraq would turn terrorists loose on the United States.
This time, there was no booing -- though one audience member cursed from the back of the crowd.
Sorry about that. I have Tourette's.
