    "John, our workers don't want to spend six months in a community college learning how to sell phone plans. They want jobs. Working on cars. Making steel. Feeding the world."

    Yah! Labor leaders in COlumbia.

  17. Shorter McCain: Obama says he believes X, but I say he believes Y. My friends, Y is really bad. Also, can you trust a man who says he believes X when he really believes Y. Try my product.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  36. Wait. Never mind, wrong question. John got me all off track.

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's not a litmus test. But if they disagree with this one decision, they are automatically not qualified.

    ReplyDelete
  38. America likes Roe v. Wade. Who'da thunk?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love John Sidney McCain III's pronunciation of the word "rather" as "RAW•thur". It's like a slap in the face to Dan Rather.

  50. Shorter McCain on abortion - I know this is an impressive hole, but I think I'll keep digging.

    ReplyDelete
  51. "pro abortion"

    Obama reaches across the aisle, McCain slaps it away.

    ReplyDelete
  52. What the hell is "pegging it"? Does that mean his fucking McCain up the ass with a strapon?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Why is it always just a "young woman"? Why not the young mother and father?

    ReplyDelete
  54. ss: metaphorically, yes.

    Sorry. CNN has a focus group tracker running real time.

    Pegging is all the way up.

    ReplyDelete
  55. McCain: Unlike my opponent who supports charter schools, I support charter schools.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hey, let's reward teachers with more salary, PLEASE.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  58. the way to improve education is to have teachers that aren't certified?

    ReplyDelete
  59. McCain: An uncertified ex-soldier in every classroom!

  62. let's get radical and support alternative approached to education

    ReplyDelete
  63. I forget, how much are we supposed to drink when the candidates say "teacher's unions"?

    ReplyDelete
  64. When McCain was a POW, he didn't have any damn union!

    ReplyDelete
  65. they never say how they'll determine a teacher is bad. this usually equals more testing of young children

    ReplyDelete
  66. Honestly, I don't think either of them will help the public school system

    ReplyDelete
  67. The CNN crowd just flat out hates John McCain now.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Obama is just talking about progressive discipline. Just like in every union contract. In other words, nothing will change.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Fuck head start. Believe me.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Oh. My. God. Precious, special interest... I mean needs, children.

  77. McCain has nice mandibles, baby

    ReplyDelete
  78. If it's good for McCain to take on the Republicans, then transitivity suggests that it would be bad for Obama to take on the Democrats. Just saying.
