original description

Yesterday, John McCain cancelled his attendance at a fundraiser with Clayton Williams, who gave the following advice to rape victims: "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." McCain's campaign cited that remark as the reason for his cancellation. But it turns out that Williams had already raised $300,000 for McCain -- and now McCain says he is keeping it all. What he should do is take that $300,000 and donate it to a violence against women crisis and prevention center. By taking the cash, McCain is exposing himself as a total fraud -- clearly, the only reason he cancelled the event was to avoid bad press. Will the press let Teflon John get away with another slick move? :: :: :: Update: Clayton Williams made his comments during his unsuccessful bid for Texas governor against Anne Richards. This TV ad opposing his candidacy will give you an idea of what Clayton Williams is like. UPDATE The DNC is calling on the McCain campaign to return money raised by Williams. Statement from DNC communications director Karen Finney: "Mr. Williams' comments are not only outrageous and disgusting, they degrade our values as Americans. John McCain should make it clear that he understands just how offensive these comments are by not only canceling a fund-raising event but also returning the money Wlliams raised for his campaign. Senator McCain should know that you cannot expect the American people to trust you if you say one thing when you stand on the stump and turn a blind eye to this kind of language when you think no one will notice."
