First it was "Bomb Bomb Iran," now McCain is joking about cigarette imports killing Iranians.
Note to McCain: The goal of foreign policy is not to kill civilians.
From Washington Post:
Sen. John McCain hasn't had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.
Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to
Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, "Maybe that's a way of killing them."

This is exactly what America must avoid, bellicose statements like, "wiping Israel off the map." Where do you draw the line between (poor taste in) humor or insidious empty threats?
Saber rattling only increases the belligerence of Iran's hardliners and undermines America's credibility among our allies.
Mr. McCain should offer a formal apology to the Iranian people, the most pro-America Muslim nation, and America's greatest ally in Iran against Islamic fundamentalism.

RIGHTFUL SUCCESSION
Quoth John McCain unto a group
Of his diehard supporters
(You know they like to scoop the poop,
Republican cavorters):
"Why is young Chelsea, daughter of
The Clintons, so gosh ugly?"
He pauses, till suspense enough
He breaks with his words smugly.
"The punchline is, because her Dad
Is really Janet Reno,"
Thus great guffaws by all were had,
Republicans, whom we know
As fond of crudity behind
The scenes (if seldom public),
To the discrepancy a blind
Eye turning, there's the rubnik.
In many ways is John McCain
A dutiful "third termer,"
Sacred pretense corrupt profane
In need of a de-wormer.
