The FAIL Awards, Part 3

Another FAIL Award goes to John McCain, who was planning to have a fundraiser this weekend with Texas oilman Clayton Williams, until the press got wind of it and he had to cancel it.

Who is Clayton Williams, you ask? Well, he's the gentle soul who, while campaigning to be Texas' governor against Ann Richards, said this:

"Rape is like the weather. If it's inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

...I don't believe for one moment that John McCain thinks that is funny, or appropriate, or, hell, even human. But how does he look at himself in the morning, knowing he has to spend time with slime like this just raise some cash?

I am sure every person running for President--Obama included--has had to kiss up to some unsavory people while being in politics (though Obama's brilliant online fundraising abilities has probably had the wonderful side effect of keeping those moments to a minimum), but no one--no one--should have anything to do with a piece of garbage like Clayton Williams.
