Will McCain win Washington state? Mais non

Filed under: John McCain

When I moved to Washington state in almost 10 years ago, my cousin's husband asked me about what my friend up there did for work. He worked for Boeing, I replied. "Oh, of course," said my cousin's spouse. "Everyone up here works for Boeing."

When John McCain tubed a major contract for Boeing that ended up going to European provider Airbus, the Northwest was outraged. McCain's political opponents have produced the following video, which is amusing on multiple levels.

The French take a lot of static from various sources, which is sometimes well-deserved, sometimes utterly undeserved. Regardless, it's funny to see the right-wing bugaboo of Pierre the Heavily-Accented Frog be used against one of them.
