Yesterday Barack Obama’s people responded to the McCain campaign’s repeated suggerstion that Hamas supports Barack Obama. Of course, these folks ignored the strong words Obama has used to reject everything Hamas stands for. But that’s not the funny thing here. When the Obama people noted that McCain has “lost his bearings” by making the remarks, the McCain machine shot back, SHOCKED, SHOCKED and puffed up with pretend outrage for remarks that talked about their candidate’s age. From the AP wire:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Thursday that Republican John McCain was “losing his bearings” for repeatedly suggesting the Islamic terrorist group Hamas preferred Obama for president.

That brought an angry response from McCain’s campaign, which accused Obama of trying to make an issue of McCain’s age.

Age is a touchy subject for McCain, who turns 72 in August and would be the oldest person to be sworn in as president if elected.

Man, what a bunch of stupid people. When one loses one’s bearings, that means one is lost. If McCain decides to continue and continue to insist that Hamas supports Obama, then that’s ample evidence that McCain is lost. As to the age thing, I’m hoping the McCain campaign continues to whine about that subject constantly. Nobody would have mentioned his ag, indeed nobody did, until the McCain people started to whine. Maybe they should practice some gun control so they don’t shoot themselves in the foot.
