John McCain - When in Doubt About the Wildfires, Blame Canada
Being a huge fan of the Comedy Central show South Park I am always amused when they blame Canada for everything. Knowing it’s a tongue in cheek parody of us folk to the north, I never take it seriously. Even if they do blame Canada in their minds I know that Trey Parker and Matt Stone realize that it's a joke. But in a “what the hell moment” I am wondering if John McCain thinks twice about what he blabbers on camera these days.
Honest John McCain now says that illegal immigrants are to blame for the wildfires that have ravaged and pillaged his state of Arizona.
"There is substantial evidence that some of these fires are caused by people who have crossed our border illegally," McCain, said at a press conference Saturday after touring the Wallow fire, which began on May 29 and has burned over 500,000 acres to date.
“They have set fires because they signal others, they have set fires to keep warm, and they have set fires in order to divert law enforcement agents and agencies from them,” McCain said.
I don’t know about you but if I am hiding from the border patrol the first thing I am not going to do is set a fire unless I might be a Native American 100 years ago. Honestly I believe that there is a bigger chance that Chief Bigfoot started it. The fire started on the border of New Mexico in a large National Forest far away from any population.
Illegals usually head towards Phoenix, 200 miles to the southwest and other cities. I do not honestly think an illegal would survive in the wooded area where it started. Or might they be lost?
Of course maybe we should believe you Mr. McCain as you once said that Americans walked freely in Baghdad. But you might be right; I hear it gets mighty chilly in Arizona at night.
