Finally! After reading all the excuses (maybe Obama is playing rope-a-dope? maybe he’s stranded on the “high road?”), it’s good to see something with SAND.
John McCain’s campaign is run by Washington lobbyists.
What is position on energy? Whatever the oil companies tell him it is.
What is McCain’s position on health care? Whatever the insurance industry tells him it is.

Not at all. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Was ‘billions for oil/drug companies and nothing for you’ really appropriate? May as well say ‘McCain is eeevil and I am good.’
Somebody should win an editing award for the cut from talk shows-to-Bush’s head kiss though. Effective.
“No soup for you!”
Didn’t John McCain play Kane in the poltergeist movies?
