Americans are "victims of a drive-by shooting" - McCain on Letterman

[TragedyandHope]

..."by Washington and Wall Street."

What a wonderfully offensive, Rovian choice of words McCain used to conjure fear and division while discussing the economic crisis.

1. And McCain has been in where forever? Washington! n/t

[Raschel]

2. Well where was gramps when it happened then, plowing through the fruit stands?

[Raschel]

4. What next, McCain will find a way to throw "gangsta rap" in a sentence?

[Quantess]

7. .....stop!

:spray:

[TooRaLoo]

3. Man, he just can't stop, can he?

I heard that on Chris Matthews (or was it Olbermann) and was like, WTF???

[Raschel]

5. He's a bitter victim. n/t

[americanstranger]

6. What a dick.

He just couldn't help himself. Had to blow that dog whistle.

I hope he realizes how he fucked up his legacy on November 5, then lives to be 200.

I want him to suffer with that realization. For a long, long time.

8. Again, they assume people are stupid

The reasoning behind him saying that is very obvious.

9. And m ccain was riding shotgun..

How dare that little snivler act like he wasn't in on it.

[Raschel]

10. Shotgun? I think in McCain's day he'd just stand on the running boards. n/t

[MarjorieG]

11. as in inner city symbolism...

[political_Dem]

12. Don't you know?

He's conjuring up the ghost of Willie Horton and wrapping it around his own false sincerity and bonafide meanness.

:sarcasm:

Now who says the man isn't racist?

[barack the house]

13. Only it was the current administration driving and they crashed the car to boot. Time for change.>

Barack must use this little nugget on the stump and turn it around.

[krkaufman]

14. That came across as a really stupid attempt at a soundbite.

(especially since it wasn't "drive-by" in nature, but a prolonged hostage situation that we're yet to escape)
