First draft of McCain’s R2K speech:

“Dick, I remember after your second — maybe your third —

heart attack, I remember visiting you in the convalescent

center. You looked so sickly my friend, like you weren’t

going to make it, and I remember we had a real

heart-to-heart. In addition to talking with you about your

DUI conviction, your five military deferments during the

Vietnam War, and your votes against outlawing cop-killer

bullets and plastic guns, we talked about how much you

love your country, and in particular how much you love its

oil.

America, Dick, needs you.” Salon
