From The Ohio GOP:
"We issued the following statement today regarding Jennifer Brunner's new JFK Profile in Courage Award, which is supposedly presented to public servants who have made courageous decisions of conscience without regard for the personal or professional consequences."
I wonder if the Ohio GOP and John McClelland stands by their statement considering their presumptive nominee, John W. McCain had this to say when he won the award in 1999:
"Thank you. I am deeply grateful for the honor of this award. As often as we are targets of public abuse, politicians are also the beneficiaries of undeserved acclaim. After awhile, one keeps both scorn and praise in perspective. They come with the job.
Today is different. I am genuinely moved by this award, and humbled by the high ideal it is intended to honor, and the excellent company that I keep as one half of the first shared Profile in Courage Award."
So Mr. McClelland, do you stand with John McCain or not?
After all he's humbled by sharing the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award and the high ideals it is intended to honor with the likes of Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
