It must be weird definition month

I e-mailed this at John McCain's website tonight:
While I do not quibble with Senator McCain's choice to defend Senator Durbin after his apology concerning his reprehensible comments comparing our servicemen and servicewomen to Nazis, the statement that his apology was "the courageous thing" is absolutely laughable. Senator Durbin refused to apologize for several days, then attempted to "clarify" his comments, then finally apologized after even staunch members of his own party classified his comments as "disgraceful".

While it is clear that Senator McCain has on several occasions tried to extend an olive branch to the Democratic party, those of us on the right side of the aisle would appreciate it if, in the future, the Groucho glasses were removed from the branch first.
