14. listening again carefully...
Love him, his humor, wit, insight, intelligence.
Great comediand humanist.

On the laugh,
I'm not his doctor or an expert, but expertise not really required
to detect the obstructed breathing in this clip.
The hissing type laugh would be an alternative to the
usual "HA" sound which requires a brisk and unobstructed
exhale, which is difficult for someone with COPD.

(reported) Born 10/27/1939 he just turned 69.
Most folks over 60 have some significant health issue. Life.
But not to worry, tales of John's demise are yet premature.

He obviously still has lots of fire in the belly and
some ass kickin in him yet. This election he is on a roll.
Thanks John.

2. Joe the Plunger is McCain's "hero and role model"!!??
So McCain aspires to be a:

Liar... check
unlicenced professional... check
tax cheat... check
bald... check
delusional... check
asshole.... check


Yah, I guess Joey is Johnny's role model.

4. I loved the line about Rove and McCain associating w/ commies
McCain pal'd around with Commies during his formative years, mooching off them for accomodations and meals. Very sinister in deed.

9. Keith come on your salary before country, tut tut. Anyway he gets most things right guess we all got

to get by. I know it's great from media's perspective but free advertising ensures a true democracy it is that easy really. Just one piece of legislation would change the whole deal. Especially given current economic conditions, anyways we are on the right tracks.

10. I thought John was going to have a heart attack!
He laughed so hard after that stupid Mc Cain "My fellow PRISONERS" clip, I thought he was going into cardiac arrest! But he had me laughing my ass off too!
