In one of the greatest questions ever, John McCain gets his rhetorical ass handed to him by a very astute Iowa reporter. John McCain, who you may know wants to deregulate health care (like he was for deregulating the financial system), is very much against tax payer funded health care. Let alone that almost every single industrialized nation on earth has it, and ignoring the fact that he himself has had it his entire adult life.

Throughout your adult life, am I right, as a veteran and a member of Congress and now someone over sixty five, throughout your adult life have you been covered by a taxpayer-financed health care plan?

McCain’s answer is amazing and includes the line “I know the challenges of space…” which to me just kind of blow my mind. Watch the rest of the clips here to see just how mad and nuts he gets.
