"As president of the United States, I want to assure you, I've got a pen. This one's kind of old. I've got a pen, and I'm going to veto every single spending bill that comes across my desk. I will make them famous. You will know their names."

1. The pens or the spending bills?

Is McCain naming his pens now?

[elshiva]

2. Do you remember when he said that?

He actually held up a pen. :rofl: It's an old pen. :evilgrin:

[SoxFan]

3. The whole debate was a bit surreal

That incident fit right in!

[elshiva]

6. I think that "surreal" is actually being a little too kind

to McCain. :) He was very odd.

[patomime]

4. ....Oh, poor McNutty... EOM

[Arugula Latte]

5. McCrotchety.

[elshiva]

7. McNuggets

[dgibby]

8. Confused again!

That one was his new pen, the old one is a quill.

[elshiva]

9. Buwhahaha!

:spray: :rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

10. "Kind of old?"

It wasn't a pen--it was a quill.

[elshiva]

12. See Post 8

I thought he was talking about something else... :evilgrin:

Don't tutch the pen

[Left Is Write]

11. The pens' names?

[elshiva]

14. John McPen and Maverick McPen.

Their names will be famous.

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. When I forst heard him say that during the debate, I thought he said...

"As president of the United States, I want to assure you, I've got a pen. This one's not GOLD, but I've got a pen..."

Honest...thought he was inferring that he would have a GOLD pen when he became the pretzelnut. :eyes:

15. First he's talking about a pen. Then he referred to himself.

It was quite exhausting for me to follow his line of thinking.

[elshiva]

16. He was incoherent.

[Lil Missy]

17. I also know "stuff".

[elshiva]

18. What kind of stuff?

[Lil Missy]

19. "stuff" that Obama is too naive and inexperienced to know or understand.

[elshiva]

20. Like about Vietnam?

[Lil Missy]

22. I think he said that in regard to Iraq war. Another condescending moment toward Obama.

[crim son]

21. Yeah.

Was he advocating the conservation of pens? I noticed that too.

[elshiva]

23. Haha!

:rofl: I did not think about that! Yes, we should all save our old pens. :)
