John McCain is a sensitive, sensitive man.

Arizona Sen. John McCain said critics complaining about his recent joke about bombing Iran should "lighten up and get a life."

"Please, I was talking to some of my old veterans friends," the Republican presidential candidate told reporters Thursday, a day after he parodied the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann" at a campaign stop in South Carolina. The senator changed the song's title to "Bomb Iran."

"My response is lighten up and get a life," he said.

Asked by reporters Thursday if he thought the joke was insensitive he said: "Insensitive to what? The Iranians?"

No, you asshole, we are not saying that you are insensitive to the Iranians but that perhaps you are insensitive to the American voter who is desperately trying to make sure they do not vote another psychopath into the most powerful position in the world who has a hard on to start bombing another country.

Maybe we would like a leader who is sensitive to the idea of negotiation rather then obliteration.
