Loungers! What was the most inane/stupid thing that McCain did/said at last night's debate?

[Danger Mouse]

If you choose other, feel free to add your own!

[flvegan]

1. How to possibly vote for just one?!

[Danger Mouse]

3. Heh, agreed. A number of them were awful.

BTW, I got that vegetarian bacon. It's actually not half bad. :hi

[flvegan]

5. Cool.

Glad it wasn't a bad experience.

[LeftyMom]

2. The existential threat

I wanted to reach through the TV screen and whap him with a dictionary.

[Danger Mouse]

4. Definitely said 'wtf is he even talking about?' to that one.

ugh.

[LeftyMom]

6. I watched it in a room with 500 or so college students.

He got the whole room just rolling laughing a few times.

Everybody just died when Obama called him Jim, too.

[Texasgal]

7. "we're winning in Iraq!"

Uhhh... just what in the hell are we winning Mclame?

[Danger Mouse]

8. I forgot about that 'Gem'...his constant bloviating about victory and defeat.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I think he's keeping score in body count.

They Iraqis have only killed a fraction of the people that the Americans have.

[Danger Mouse]

10. Good point. We win!

Civilians only count for half, but that's no big deal, we still easily win!

[ghostsofgiants]

11. USA! USA! USA!

[hobbit709]

12. Other: Showing up.

[jeff30997]

13. Well that was pretty weird even for him:

Strange guy.

[Danger Mouse]

14. That image is going to give me nightmares.

:cry:

[jeff30997]

15. Lol!

Sorry! :)

[baldguy]

16. He showed up.

[Danger Mouse]

17. Yes, well, he couldn't help it. He was trying to get to Country Kitchen Buffet, you see.

Instead he ended up at this 'debate thingy' against some young darkie.

[TroglodyteScholar]

18. Other: "spending freeze on everything but defense, veteran affairs and entitlement programs."

MCCAIN: I think we ought to seriously consider with the exceptions the caring of veterans national defense and several other vital issues.

Love how he tosses in "several other vital issues" after his initial impulsive and ridiculous suggestion.

OBAMA: The problem with a spending freeze is you're using a hatchet where you need a scalpel. There are some programs that are very important that are under funded. I went to increase early childhood education and the notion that we should freeze that when there may be, for example, this Medicare subsidy doesn't make sense.

Let me tell you another place to look for some savings. We are currently spending $10 billion a month in Iraq when they have a $79 billion surplus. It seems to me that if we're going to be strong at home as well as strong abroad, that we have to look at bringing that war to a close.

Pow!!!

[Danger Mouse]

21. I meant to include that one! And yes, it was very, very stupid.

I think it stunned Obama with how how dumb it was.

[rug]

19. "I've got a penis. This one is kind of old."

[Ikonoklast]

20. He showed up.

Biggest mistake.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

22. When he stated that Senator Obama had the most liberal voting record in the Senate

It was the most predictable, cliched and tired line in the book. I laughed when Obama smacked him down over that comment

[BrklynLiberal]

23. I was surprised that it took him over an hour to mention that he had been a prisoner

during the VietNam war.

[Lil Missy]

24. His condescending attitude toward Obama.

I think that reinforced his negative image of being mean and temperamental.

[LostInAnomie]

25. When he soiled himself.

It was hard to tell when he was standing behind the podium, but you could tell.

[SOteric]

26. When he implied Obama

was 'hard-headed and stubborn' in a manner similar to George W. Bush. From whom, by the way, McCain could not seem to distance himself fast enough.

Comparing Barack Obama to Dubya; what a maroon.

[yellowcanine]

27. "when I look Putin in the eye I see K.G.B." That is just dumb.

[elshiva]

28. I has an old pen.

[madinmaryland]

29. Horse-shit. That's horse-shit!

He said that.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. Mr Congeniality bullshit

[Danger Mouse]

32. LOL, another bizarre and out-of-place comment.

[elshiva]

33. He said "MISS Congeniality" and he said it twice.

Both times he refered to himself as a MISS.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. What was that pen thing about? Who calls a pen old? weird

[PittPoliSci]

34. mav-rick. there's no E in it when he pronounces it.

drives me batshit crazy. that's why i voted for that one.

[PBS Poll-435]

35. When I looked into Putin's eyes, I saw three letters....M....S....G....

Wrong country, genius...

[Monk06]

36. I'm a maverick and my running mate is a maverick too. Heh heh

Demented, egg sucking old fart.
