Just saw a clip of McCain / Palin and I have a question
is it me...

has it been discussed here...

I am so shocked. I cannot believe its not all over everywhere...

Was John McCain fiddling with his wedding ring and staring at Palin's chest while she was speaking? Was that for real?

It was just a short clip - but my God! It sure as hell seemed obvious to me. I had to rewind it in case I was seeing things.

Did anyone else notice this?

I'm sure the Letterman Show, Leno, etc. are getting e-mailed links from lots of people.

2. Yes
It looked to me like McCain would take a lascivious look at Mrs. Palin's rear, then begin to fidget with or remove his ring - maybe masturbate his finger?

It was pretty obvious (and nasty).

23. That's what I thought. When I saw it live and now again in the clip, it almost
seemed he was checking to see if she remained on script. I read somewhere that her speech was written by one of his guys, can't recall who, and she wasn't reading from the pages she had for much of what she was going on about. Wonder if she ad libbed or went off track - left something out? I can just imagine him leaning over to her in the end whispering, "Hey, trollop, next time, stick to the script..."

25. I didn't notice a teleprompter - she had papers at the podium
I honestly got the sense that he wanted to see what was written. Who knows. Maybe he was ogling her - seems odd he'd be so overt about it under the circumstances, though. He mostly seemed anxious and uncomfortable.

11. can you imagine McCain being chased around
in fast-motion by a gang of hot chicks in lingerie?

I can almost hear the theme music.

12. You bet I did...
looked like he thinking about sticking his face in her cleavage.

And I gotta say, this whole thing has been so surreal I don't even know if it would shock me.

13. He can't keep his frickin' eyes off her T&A, looked like to me.
Cindy needs to keep a close eye on him. So does Palin's husband.

McCain the Womanizer has a penchant for the beauty queens, it seems.

32 seconds in is the worst - and then it goes on to compile all the shots of him looking at... well you decide.
