You fucking wish.

…and Australia, has we know, is populated entirely by criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them…

…so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

(Also, for the record, I think it’s “Sidney” with an I not a Y.)

What do you find offensive about McCain’s middle name?

We understand that any emphasis on Obama’s middle name, HUSSEIN, is to try to draw a parallel between him and Saddam, but I don’t know about any terrorists or murderous dictators named Sydney.

Could you fill us in on this mysterious “Sydney” who is so evil that the mere mention of the name he shares with McCain is an attempt to brand McCain as a terrorist?

But if it makes you feel better, I’ll be happy to refer to Governor Jindal as “Bobby,” which he prefers, and not “Piyush.”

It’s called intent and context. But you know that.

“Sounds like a strategy that at best will produce a tie…”

McCain is hoping to stack the deck, like he did on Fox News.

Sounds like a strategy that at best will produce a tie, not an advantage, and it re-introduces us to the images of young, vital, physically fit gentleman up against cranky old man with a history of health problems.

The last time Obama was in a “town-hall type” debate was the YouTube fiasco where he agreed to meet with Ahmedenijad, Kim Jong-Il and Chavez “without precondition.” McCain is simply hoping for more of the same.

Is there some subliminal message in the word “Sydney” that suggests that McCain is a terrorist? I’m not up on all the dog-whistle stuff.

I’ll be awaiting whatever determination the Obama camp makes in that direction, sure their judgment will outweigh my desire to see McCain’s lies and fantasies demolished in a face-to-face. Obama would almost do him too much honor, appearing in the same room with that walking Ineptitude.
