"My friends, we will disagree on a specific issue and that's healthy," McCain said as he stood near bales of straw at one of the nation's premiere farming showcases. "I believe in renewable fuels. I don't believe in ethanol subsidies, but I believe in renewable fuels."

3. I just told my assistant this one, explaining to her about Iowa and corn, and
you should have seen the look on her face!!! ROFLMAO!!!!! And you could have crammed an entire Big Mac into her open mouth.

Then she asked if he was crazy.

(Backstory: my assistant is a 22-yr-old goth type who doesn't get into politics much because BDSM is her true love, lol)
