Summary: A mother worries that McCain's plan for Iraq would mean her infant son has to serve there someday.
Script of "Not Alex" (TV)
MOTHER: Hi, John McCain, this is Alex, he's my first. So far, his talents include trying any new food and chasing after our dog. That and making my heart pound every time I look at him.
So, John McCain, when you said you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can't have him.
