19. Meghan admitted on The View that she's a liberal and that

all of her friends are too. But she loves her dad and is voting for him. Of course. She actually seems pretty fair-minded, and she does argue with her dad about his views.

25. Ah, Stockholm Syndrome! n/t

[Bette Noir]

20. Golly, that's the third embarrassing thing I've heard from her

28. McCain is on the record for using this phrase.

On October 11th, 2007, while attacking Hillary Clinton's health care plan, he used it. Quote:

"My friends, we are approaching a 'perfect storm' of problems that, if not addressed by the next president, will cause our health-care system to implode," McCain said in using a Teleprompter to deliver his proposal.

"I believe Americans want to be part of a system that offers high quality care, that respects their individual dignity and is available at reasonable cost," the Arizona senator said. "Unfortunately, the American health care system as it is currently structured fails this test."

"I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," he said of her proposal.

McCain's campaign team is as forgetful and senile as McCain is for them to attack Obama like this.
