2. I am ROFL
CNN has become so pathetic! The only difference between CNN & faux is the CNN talking heads aren't frothing at the mouth.

6. Was it the Keating 4???
No, no it wasn't. It was the Keating FIVE... if it didn't include McCain, they wouldn't call it the Keating 5!

I'm so sick of this bullshit.
