That John McCain is such a maverick! I mean, he's not at all like George Bush - Dubya gave up golf to show his support for the troops (well, okay, not really, but it's the thought that counts), but McCain is showing his independence by not just continuing to play golf, but actually selling branded golf gear on his campaign web site. That totally makes up for all that meaningless policy stuff where they pretty much agree on everything!
Just one problem: apparently nobody explained to the fine folks over at the McCain campaign that it might be a bad idea to, you know, allow unmoderated product reviews. The comments are down now, but InsultComicDog over at Daily Kos has started a thread listing a bunch of them for posterity. Here's a sampling of some of them:

The 2000 Father's Day McCain Golf Pack had more balls. This golf pack is too much like the George W. Bush golf pack I got last year.
But, I will show those Obama supporters that i'm no elitist when I knock in a hole in one.Balls June 11, 2008

I love it. Being a "Mom for McCain" makes me feel so much better about raising my three kids alone because my hubby dumped me for a younger woman. (But he's such a gentleman because he pays for all my health care out of his new wife's fortune... what a man!)Business Leaders for McCain T-Shirt
