He's not rich because he can't put up one of Cindy's houses on the games.

Not Rich? I thought they'd passed the $5 million threshold with wifey's beer money...

*shrugs*

He's losing it. He may need to take a few days off the trail to recoup. Seriously.

How many clouds can a old man yell at the same time?

The problem with these two replies is that McCain isn't actually a dumbo; he's shown in the past that he's pretty sharp. Fatigue? Early signs of dementia? Too tightly strung from holding on to his anger? Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good.

Why does that Southwest Airlines commercial with the ticket counter clerk with the two faces remind me of John McCain??

I wonder....

BTW, I was listening to CNN Radio on Sirius driving to work today. Right after they interviewed McCain, one of the pundits said the White House MAY BE sitting on a new Bin Laden tape.

Hey, what's an October every four years without a sudden Bin Laden tape popping up??

I'm hoping Oliver Stone's "W" proves to be a nice counter-punch in a couple of weeks in making the GOP in general look even worse.

They release another bin Laden tape NOW and everyone will say:

O come on! You know in '04 it finally got some traction that they kept releasing tapes for political purposes. They do it again and I think most people will laugh.

They've been crying Wolf for damn near 8 years whenever it was convenient for them. People are onto it.

I'd like to see a real answer on why he allowed such extreme earmarks to go through, without a peep about them even.

This is insane. McCain can't make a statement without twisting the facts. And Palin's answers to questions are logically twisted, convoluted and makes no sense.

To hell with it! I'm voting for Obama and Biden. At least I what they're saying!

He has pulled an amazing feat here. He is simultaneously incoherent, "This bill is putting us on the brink of economic disaster", and lying, "I am proud of my work bring Republicans back to the table".

And you all think he isn't talented.

The MSM truly did Sen. McCain no favors by treating him so gingerly all those years. The guy may be losing it, but it's absolutely the case he's not been challenged in interview settings or commentary until very recently. The "benefit of the doubt" has turned into a not-ready-for-primetime lack of preparation that rivals, well, even Palin's. Good grief.

Hey McCain just said it, he suspended his campaign and worke hard against the other bills so that he could vote for this one because it would bring us to the brink of economic disaster...

I seriously wonder what he doesn know... what information gets fed to him... if he has fox news-like cronies spinning the world for him so it all makes sense?

Don't joke about an Obama/Bin Laden tape - with special effects these days, even with simple video, they can cook something like that up and the average IDIOTS will think it's real.

Desperation can spark some real creativity in people, believe me!

He has obviously been taking lessons at the Sarah Palin School of Public Speaking. He must be a very good student because every day he makes less and less sense.

Does McCain's anti-pork position mean he is Muslim?

And he is still accusing Obama of "phoning it in". Was that why McCain was so peeved when Obama shook his hand on the senate floor? Obama was on his cell "phoning it in"? How rude young people are these days! McCain should have installed an auto-kill when speaking to elders on those Blackberries he invented.

The freeze-frame above once again catches him in one of his weird left-eye moments.

How can we believe anything that comes out of his mouth. This is getting pretty pathetic. Oh, I forgot, he's "100% honest".

LMAO!

I wonder, did McCain purposefully say that this bill is putting us on the brink of economic disaster? The public, both left and right have been very unhappy about this bill, including a lot of blue collar voters (who can be easily manipulated with nonfacts). Might McCain be seeing this unhappiness and use it to his advantage with a new campaign line to blame this huge bill "that is putting us on the brink of economic disaster" on the dems\Obama (and of course noting that the repubs didn't really want to pass)? I read something about the RNC taking out a 5 million dollar ad campaign critizing the bill and that it will begin running as soon as the bill passes the house. Just wondering.

"Because of what you just said, Mika, that this bill is putting us on the brink of economic disaster there were plenty of other bills that I fought against, voted against. Well, the bill that the medicare prescription drug program, I voted against it, because it didn't -- because of the fact that it wasn't paid for. We're laying the cost on to future generations of Americans. I fought against plenty of bills. I am proud of my work, suspending my campaign, coming back to Washington, getting the Republicans at the table, which we were not, improving the bill, and I believe it will pass. Senator Obama phoned it in."

"... brink of economic disaster,..."

Really?

What has pushed us? Iraq? Afghanistan?

"... why I'm not a rich man."?

Just a jiggle, low.

Busch-McCain-Palin-wail, fine whine.

All of this continual war is forcing us to borrow more & more from a communist dictatorship. More war John McCain. When I had been a child, there had been a Republican Party that had called that "communist domination", "communist satellite". My elementary textbooks had had maps designating Russia, China, & Yugoslavia, as huge red blotches, or as huge black blotches. Yugoslavia had been frequently differentiated w/ stripes, as the less bad communists. I want us to cut-back the Pentagon, in part that we would purchase less war, more healthcare, housing, et-al. But, also, to reduce domination by any dictatorship.

Congress lists who they would contend are dictatorships; on that list, we should not borrow money, lend money, sell weapons, gift weapons.

We should quit being a debtor nation. &, then, there's electoral-college abolition; I'm an abolitionist.

How is it that Sarah Palin's squeaky squealy voice, last night, suddenly became nearly mellow? How is it that she suddenly became intelligent? She even complimented Joe's National Guard Attorney General son. She managed to evade the answers of the healthcare tax, & mortgage. Is she completely, totally, act? All act?

They do seem to be magicians; everything that they do is diversion. No there, there.

Thank You.
