This is nice, too:
A top adviser to Sen. John McCain said that a terrorist attack in the United States would be a political benefit to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, a comment that was immediately disputed by the candidate and denounced by his Democratic rival.
Charles R. Black Jr., one of McCain’s most senior political advisers, said in an interview with Fortune magazine that a fresh terrorist attack “certainly would be a big advantage to him.” He also said that the December assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, while “unfortunate,” helped McCain win the Republican primary by focusing attention on national security.
It might also be of benefit to his, and George W. Bush’s, #1 foreign policy priority. Of course, Republicans would never play politics with terrorism.

Um, dude, apparently you haven’t heard that the era of blog post titles consisting of puns based on Morrissey lyrics has already reached its triumphant conclusion?

Maybe it’s time for Dubya to lay down his life for the Party. With his cooperation, a “terrorist” assassination could easily be arranged. Think how shocked we’d all be. How we’d have to vote for Sen. McBeerTruck after all. It would work!
But such heroes are of yesteryear.
