Oh my god. This idiot is insane. We all joke that he's like Guiliani in some ways. With Rudy, it was "Noun, verb, and 9/11." With McCain, it's "Noun, verb, and POW."
Not convinced? Check THIS out...
UPDATE: Thanks to Chicago DEM for pointing out that TPM caught this (about 3 minutes before I did)... here. They said they'll have a video up shortly. I'll post here as soon as I find it.
UPDATE2: Video below (NC DemAmy found it first)!
UPDATE3: Rec List? Alrighty then! Thanks everyone! And especially thanks to YOU, Johnnie, for making this possible. But seriously, though... this guy is really starting to look scary. I never thought we could go lower than Slime Bush, but now I'm beginning to wonder.
Yeah! 7pm Central: Keith starts his show with the "prisoners" clip!
Update--Comment: A few people have made comments below that McCain just "misspoke", and that we shouldn't make a big deal about this. If it really was just a random slip by a random politician, I'd agree. But it's not. This is coming from a man who has spent much of his life, and virtually all of his political career, EXPLOITING the fact he was a POW. So I'd say it's VERY relevant that his "slip" was about "prisoners". You add this to some of the other bizarre things McCain has done and said, I think it shows that the guy either has some form of post-traumatic stress disorder, or is in the early stages of dementia (or something similar). I am NOT making a joke about this... if it's true, then I guess we should have some sympathy for McCain. But, having said that, we also have EVERY RIGHT to point out this about McCain. This is the person who's finger will, quite literally, be on the button!
Just now, at a rally in Pennsylvania, McCain was talking about what he's gonna do to fix the economy. After laying out a few (lame as usual) details, he said this:
You and I together will confront the $10 trillion debt that the federal government has run up, and balance the federal budget by the end of my term in office. Across this country this is the agenda I've set before my fellow prisoners, and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent.
Palin standing right behind Johnnie as he said this. She never batted an eye. And the crowd? Well, they hesitated for a second, but then they cheered like the good little sheep they are. (Ok, after watchin it again I can see that only a few of them cheered. So can it be that even Busheep have a few brain cells left?)
My GOD!
I'm waitng for a video. I'll put it up as soon as I find one.
And here it is...
