McCain's Mom (!) Rips Romney & Mormons

MEREDITH, N.H. (AP) - John McCain's 95-year-old mother, in a swipe at her son's rival Mitt Romney, said Friday that Mormons were to blame for the scandal that rocked the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.

During an appearance on MSNBC, Roberta McCain laid out why her son, John, deserves to win the Republican presidential nomination. But in evaluating McCain's primary rivals, she criticized Romney's Mormon faith and his time in Salt Lake City.

"As far as the Salt Lake City thing, he's a Mormon and the Mormons of Salt Lake City had caused that scandal. And to clean that up, again, it's not a subject," Roberta McCain said.

John McCain quickly stepped in: "The views of my mothers are not necessarily the views of mine."

"Well, that's my view and you asked me," Roberta answered.

Good Lord! His mother?! Don't these people ever die?

in a way his son is not. Junior was a great submarine skipper whose sailors loved him. His son, conversely, fulfills the stereotypes of aviators who think the sun rises and sets over his butt.

It's the spirit of the collective - submarine skippers rarely use the first person singular - vs. the selfish individualism that is often a trait of aviators.

I was raised in a 100% Republic, white supremacist household, and I don't want to think I'm defined by my parents' opinions.

95!
