McCain Report

On Tuesday, Presidential hopeful John McCain found out that he is not safe, even in a high school environment. Speaking to a crowd of Concord High students in New Hampshire, McCain was confronted by a student with an axe to grind.
William Sleaster, who, I think it is safe to say, has achieved his "fifteen minutes", did not take kindly to McCain's views, specifically those regarding gay rights. Sleaster, a professed bisexual, immediately became famous when he uttered the words, "I came here to see a good leader. I don't", directly to McCain. View the clip here.
