So now we know, McCain is soft on Communism:

Sen. John McCain has denied the allegation made by Sen. Thad Cochran that he grabbed a Sandinista by the shirt collar in a confrontation that reportedly happened 21 years ago. Sen. Thad Cochran told the story to the Sun Herald this week, saying McCain grabbed an associate of Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega and pulled him from a chair during a 1987 diplomatic mission.

I am snarking, for those who do not get it.

    Yeah, I can't really imagine anyone thought having that story out there would be much of a help.

    I read speculation on some blog that this story might stand McCain in better stead with his lagging right wing base--They'd adore the image of him pushing some commie around, literally.

    Stranger things have been true...
