A "WTF?" moment from McCain's speech on Tuesday

[Jersey Devil]

When I heard this on TV I was scratching my head and thinking, "WTF is he talking about?" I'm looking forward to more of these moments between now and November.

1. ...I'm Ron Burgundy?

2. Can you order dehydrated babies through the mail?

Then, reconstitute them with just a bottle of hot water?

[monomach]

3. Works for sea monkeys so...Yeah, you probably could.

[Jersey Devil]

4. Not just water, but HOT water

or maybe hot water bottles? You know, then you could use them to soothe aching muscles or, if your baby got dehydrated, stick a nipple on it.

5. More Hot Water to Dehydrated Babies!! Finally, McCain found his voice!!

He's been looking for a way to show he's not just running for Bush's third term. This could be HUGH!!!11

[NatBurner]

6. u too?

that's EXACTLY what i said, out loud, to the telly-

...what THEE fuck?

is there some kind of maternity ward out there somewhere full of shriveled up, dried out raisiny infants?

the hell are u babbling about, grampy?

the irony is that it took what? four? five days before his buddy bush dropped water in new orleans after katrina

[Youphemism]

7. Give the guy a break. He obviously meant....

"We should be able to deliver hot dehydrated water to bottled babies."

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

8. He tried to tie Bush's policies to Obama! Say what??!?! n/t

[patrice]

9. Maybe because warm water is more quickly absorbed by the body than cold? nt

[fasttense]

10. Yeah but he doesn't say warm bottled water babies.

He says hot bottle babies. Oh, I'm so confused.

[patrice]

14. I think he's been told to show how much he cares, by showing us how much he knows about the needs of

dehydrated babies, something like "Cold/cool water shocks a dehydrated stomach and causes addtional pain". I'd pretty clearly check out the recommendations for what one is supposed to do for a child who is dehydrated before I'd attack him publicly on this. You wouldn't want to appear un-caring or in-experienced in your "ignorance" (no insult intended - that's just what his web warriors would say).

It's just such an odd thing to say; there just might be a rationale for it, so I'd try to be prepared.

11. I cant wait till Obama gets to rip into him in the first debate

[Virginia Dare]

17. McCain wants 10 debates, the Obama camp should come back with 20..

what the hell, let's do one a week until the campaign is over. McCain will be reduced to a sniveling little cretin by the time it's over.

[Conyersfan]

12. Mac's speech was weird

He kept smiling when it made no sense to smile. It was very odd.

[Virginia Dare]

18. That's his attempt at charm..

the man couldn't charm the backside of a bus if his life depended on it. Here was a group of his most avid supporters, and he could NOT connect with him. You're right, the whole thing was weird.

[Happyhippychick]

13. I think he's finally found his campaign slogan!

[Pryderi]

15. I'm still puzzling over, "For too long, we have let history

outrun our government's ability to keep up with it."

What does that mean? History is now in the future and our government is trying to keep up? Does that mean gov't is PRE-historic?

[Virginia Dare]

19. He was struggling with the tele-prompter..

it was probably a chimp-like mangling of the line.

[Upton]

16. Notice how he looks sort of mummified?

[dancingme]

20. I want to see the truck that delivers

HOT bottled water.
