New mission for the convention: to obtain at least one "Protect yourself from John McCain" condom.

And have sex with it.

In fact, if I can get my hands on some I'll send one to anyone who is willing to have safe sex with a partner (or hey, a random hookup) with the John McCain condom. I'm straight, so I need someone else to report on how it is to have gay sex with the John McCain condom. Does it feel great knowing you are protecting yourself from disease and supporting the fight to elect Obama at the same time? I think it would for me.

Let's remember, in the post-Hillary-speech flareup of Hillary/Obama tensions, that John McCain doesn't care about gay people, and doesn't think they should be recognized as full members of society, with the right to marry, and the right to be judged on the content of their character, not the content of the underpants of the person they've got a crush on. And you know what? John McCain not only doesn't care about gay people, he doesn't care about any people who manage to sluttily get themselves infected with a deadly disease. Here's McCain on condoms:

Reporter: “Should U.S. taxpayer money go to places like Africa to fund contraception to prevent AIDS?”

Mr. McCain: “Well I think it’s a combination. The guy I really respect on this is Dr. Coburn. He believes – and I was just reading the thing he wrote– that you should do what you can to encourage abstinence where there is going to be sexual activity. Where that doesn’t succeed, than he thinks that we should employ contraceptives as well. But I agree with him that the first priority is on abstinence. I look to people like Dr. Coburn. I’m not very wise on it.”

Damn straight you're not wise. That's why you're talking about abstinence out of some sense of enforced bullshit morality while a fucking epidemic is killing people all over the world. Or maybe McCain never got any updated sex education in the last, I dunno, twenty-five years.

Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

It's disgusting. You know what's not disgusting, though? Safe sex with my boyfriend with the John McCain condom. It's fun, it's free, it's great exercise, it's full of love, and it feels damn good.

And it's liberal as all get-out.
