You will recall that John McCain has been trying to get the Cold War going again as part of his ill-fated and hapless campaign for the US Presidency. Now this:
The Russian mission to the UN in New York says it has turned down a request from John McCain to help fund his presidential campaign.
Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin and others received standard mail-outs asking them to help "stop the Democrats from seizing control of Washington".
Spokesmen for the McCain campaign and the mission accepted the letters were "a computer error".
Russians, especially the ones in the embassy, can be really funny when given the chance.

On his campaign website, Romney has listed ten incidents that supposedly mean McCain is unstable. Let's review them:
During Robert F. Kennedy's candidacy, he gave an anti-war speech at K-State. At this comparatively conservative outpost, the crowds went crazy. A speechwriter remembers looking at the wild crowd reaction and saying, "This is Kansas, fucking Kansas. He's going all the fucking way!"
Just the salient points.
McCain does not want to spread the wealth around.
Obama wants to cut the 15 billion dollar subsidy to insurance companies.
Obama wants to invest in higher education.
So far I'm really liking Rachel Maddow's new MSNBC show. She reminds me a lot of what Keith Olbermann used to be (and sometimes still is).
Well, the Russians may have turned down McCain. Our troops seem to like him though.

Who cares about the Russians, when you have the support of Al-Qaeda?
