1. WTF! "He wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong"
From your link...

And if you still don't get it, a McCain aide blows away the anthill with, well, a rocket.

"Obama wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong."

3. And Obama answers:
"America doesn’t need juvenile name-calling from Washington, we need a commitment to end this war and bring our brave troops home."

2. McCain should be careful about talking about drug use. His wife was/is a dope addict.
Cindy McCain, wife number two who wants to be America's first lady stole drugs to feed her habit.

McCain's dogs should not be talking about "bongs" in the political arena.

5. Dumbass McCain doesn't know that flak jacket has an alternate spelling.
Flack and flak are both correct.

6. I could be wrong but i think flak is the only correct spelling.
Flak is in reference to the type of German AA used in WW2.

Though I do see it spelled with the c.

7. You are INCORRECT ... the media has been correcting old man McCain all day on this.

At least MSNBC and CNN have. I don't do Faux.

McCain has even more to be embarrassed about.

Both spellings are correct and appropriate.

12. Very well.
Though I did look it up and originally the term came from the German AA gun, Fliegerabwehrkanone, with flak jackets being adopted first by British fliers then Americans.

There's no "C" there ;-)

The Department of Defense referred to these jackets as "flack jackets".
http://www.defenselink.mil/photos/newsphoto.aspx?newsphotoid=1530

You have already been told that flack is a variant of flak.

The Army referred to a "25-pound Vietnam-era flack jacket" here:
http://www4.army.mil/ocpa/read.php?story_id_key=6058

Yet you keep trying to spread this ridiculous attempt to misinform readers.
Either grab a dictionary or or email the Army and call them illiterate, or go back to Freerepublic.

15. It doesn't matter
It was a cheap shot and McCain is showing that even a 70 year old can be a childish ass.

17. Thanks to Talking Points Memo:
Here is a link to their page on this showing "flack jacket" being used in the Army Times, and in the comments section someone posts other quotes from government publications using flack.

16. It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.
"It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word."
-Andrew Jackson

OK we had our fun here now. English is a screwed up language to spell.

20. Obama should say that McCain needs to take a 'nap'.
That would be one helluva zinger back at that old fossil.
