Couldn't believe they were endorsing McCain, but whatever. Hasn't stopped me from buying several pairs of their red tights. I do think they were crossing the line... of course, showed a pic of him, when he was a strapping young lad. anyway... have been feeling like AA needs to be told he's not the maverick that they're playing him out to be. he's actually a jerk. late to the party, but you know:
