Joe "six-pack" McCain decided to throw his political attack hat into the ring this weekend while out on the stump in support of his brother who is currently lagging in national polls; the Senator is trailing in Virginia by about 3 points as of this writing.
Joe McCain, speaking at an event in support of his brother, called two Democratic-leaning areas in Northern Virginia "communist country," according to the Washington Post.
"I've lived here [in Northern Virginia]for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country," Joe McCain said at an event in Loudoun County, Virginia
Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess. The McCain camp responded by saying:
"This was Joe McCain's unsuccessful attempt at humor," said McCain campaign spokeswoman Gail Gitcho. "John McCain and Sarah Palin are committed to winning the support of voters in Northern Virginia and understand the region's importance to victory statewide."
Joe, believe it or not, we in Northern Virginia really don't care what you think, evidenced by the turnout to actually here you speak this weekend.
I am sure the good people of Virginia will remember this insult when we go into the voting booth in 30 days, Komrade.
