Gramps is losing it.

Man, I hope he loses—if only so I never have to see Cindy McCain's tousled hooker hair ever again.

It's totally clear to me now, McCain never expected to find himself as the Republican Candidate, he still has no clue about what's going on.

Hilarious. Does anyone else think that Cindy McCain looks like Maude Flanders?

I like the reluctant, minimal clapping by the woman on McCain's right.

Actually, I just like the woman on McCain's right.

I actually did an honest-to-God spit-take when I saw this. For reals. The exclamations of indignant surprise from the audience are HILARIOUS.

How I wish he'd continued: "and you're ugly, too!"

I liked this comment from the video:

He said it right the 1st time. Too bad they edited the part out where he said his running mate is a dumb c***. Then he said that if she blew him, his dick would be the smartest thing to ever come out of her mouth. Then he said something about Obama and pie. Not a bad rally overall.

"JUST A GUY WHO LIVES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD"-Barack Obama

From FoxNews 10/21/08:
Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself.

A blogger unearthed the Dec. 21, 1997, endorsement in the Chicago Tribune and posted photographs of the praise for Ayers' book on Zombietime.com Saturday.

Featured next to a smiling photograph of himself, then-State Senator Obama called Ayers' book, "A Kind and Just Parent: Children of the Juvenile Court," a "searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair."

The book, which details life at the Chicago Juvenile Court prison school, mentions Obama by name on page 82 when it describes Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood:

"Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and writer Barack Obama. Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think, a unique dimension to the idea of 'safe neighborhood watch': the Fruit of Islam, his security force, has an eye on things twenty-four-hours a day."

The Obama campaign said the blurb was not a full-fledged review of the book.

"He didn't do a review. He provided one line about the book to the Tribune," campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told FOXNews.com.

A month before the item appeared, on Nov. 20, 1997, Michelle Obama, then dean of student services and director of the University Community Service Center, held a panel at the University of Chicago that featured both Barack Obama and Ayers.

"Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system," the University of Chicago Chronicle reported on Nov. 6, 1997.

Obama has been criticized for refusing to elaborate on the extent of his relationship with Ayers and for claiming to have had no idea Ayers was a co-founder of the Wesather Underground, which claimed responsibility for bombing the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol and a New York Supreme Court justice's home in the Sixties.

The Obama campaign has noted that Obama was 8 years old when Ayers and the Weather Underground were active and has no link to their activities. Ayers has said he has "no regrets" about his participation in the domestic terror group.

So THAT'S "the most patriotic part of America". Cause I was wondering. Wow.

Is everyone there as unhappy, unfriendly and creepy as the people in rural eastern Pennsylvania? Cause that place sucks.

The "liberal" paper in Pittsburgh didn't mention this slip at all in their coverage of the rally:

Speaking about "Persons of Color" who's the one on the left?

We need more of that kind of "patriotism" in Western Washington...not Western Pennsylvania.

It's hard for him, because he doesn't have a guitar to look at to tell him where he is.

Hahahaha.... Nice try, jackass! That's hilarious!

I can tell you that he didn't correct himself "immediatly"[sic], because I've been watching that clip over and over and over again to check out that hot, hot cutie to McCain's right, and McCain seems to have a hard time digging himself out...
