I like how McCain pulled the "7 Minute Abs Strategy" on Afghanistan
You know in "There's Something About Mary" when Harland Williams plays the crazed hitchiker whose big business idea was to outdo the "8 Minute Abs" people by coming up with his own program called "7 Minute Abs"? It was nonsensical and ridiculous, but still pretty funny. Of course, the guy was crazy!

But McCain countered Obama's proposal to put 2 more brigades in Iraq by..... saying he'll put 3 more. EUREKA! You sure showed him John, that's what all those years of foreign policy experience have done for you, my friend. You say 2 brigades? Well, I say 3! Oh snap! And my dad can beat up your dad too.

Now does McCain have an idea where those troops would come from. Well he used to be totally against it, but his first answer was U.S. troop brigades leaving Iraq after he successfully wina a war that he wants to stay in for the next 100 years, then he says NATO troops, but then later on a spokesman says McCain thinks it could be a mixture of U.S. and NATO troops.

You'd think McCain was making this all up just as he goes along. Oh wait, he is. This guy doesn't know a thing about what he's talking about. He sees what he wants to see, hears what he wants to hear, and pretends he's some kind of an expert on it all. If Obama made these kinds of gaffes he'd have been drawn and quartered by now.

But McCain has a good plan. 7 Minute Abs.

That is until somebody else comes along and counters with "6 Minute Abs."

1. Mr. McSame doesn't have any abs..

In fact. He looks like an old white wrinkled human thumb.

6. Are you sure that's a thumb?...
It might explain that malcontent look Cindy sometimes gets.

3. I almost did too
He's that convincing. If he puts Lieberman on the ticket, I am switching for sure. :)

Ted Bundy, that is a creepy comparison. Ted was a staunch Republican, as was the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway.

4. Yes and BTK was an elder or something like it in the Lutheran church.
Probably a rethuglican.

8. No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6.
Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
Ted: That - good point.

15. No! No, no, not 6! I said 7.
Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel. 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.
