Most arrogant, dismissive put-down [referring to Obama]: "That one."
First evidence that the Johnny Mack that we'd once admired had returned: his gracious concession speech.
How about when he "suspended" his campaign to irritate people who were actually trying to fix the economy?
Oh, and when his face fell to the floor when Obama mentioned McCain's "Bomb bomb Iran" song at the debate. That instant of murderous rage was hilarious.
Zero?!
Also, mentioning Joe the Plumber like 6 times during the debate and leading to the 15 minutes of fame of that guy.
Here’s my top 11:
1. “The fundamentals of the economy are strong”
2. How many homes do you own? I’ll have to get back to you on that. Oh, its 7.
3. Claims all of his 13 cars are “American made and yet when they are listed, 1 is Japanese and 1 is German.
4. Obama is not a Muslim. He’s a good family man.
5. The suspended, non-suspended campaign that was never un-non-suspended.
6. I’m a Maverick and I’ve voted with Bush 90% of the time.
7. Pirate McCain mugs and T-shirts on the Straight Talk Express. I still need an audio clip of him saying “Arrh!” After telling a joke.
8. How many financial campaign advisors did he go thorough because of their ties to failed banks? I remember the number being higher than 5.
9. Speaking of which: Mental Recession, nation of whiners.
10. Watching over Palin’s shoulder to make sure she was reading the teleprompter correctly when they gave their first speech together.
11. If Obama has never gone to Iraq. Maybe he should come along with me. Obama’s trip to Iraq was a shameless political photo-op.
1) Picking Palin. (The beginning of the end.)
Blowing off David Letterman to interview with Katie Couric and getting caught.
2) Fake-suspending his campaign.
3) the whole 'Joe the Plumber" fiasco.
4) Wandering the stage aimlessly during a debate and walking in fron of the camera.
5) Saying the fundamentals of our economy are strong and then changing the meaning of fundamentals to mean American workers.
6) His many, many weird poses and facial expressions caught on camera.
7) The lady who thought Obama was an Arab.
9) "Gotcha journalism."
10) His many houses and cars.
His stunned reaction to the question regarding health plans' lack of coverage of birth control while providing full coverage for use of Viagra.
That says even more than saying it all could ever say.
Well, at least he can laugh at himself.
