McCain's Freudian Slip: 'I'm a proud ... liberal ...' -- Raw Story

Did John McCain confirm the worst fears of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter at a campaign stop in Texas this week?

The Arizona Republican, who caught plenty of flak from his party's most vocal conservatives during the presidential primary campaign, slipped up in a speech to supporters Thursday, when he was trying to outline the differences between himself and the to-be-decided Democratic nominee.

"I'm a proud conservative, liberal Repub -- uh, conservative Republican," McCain said, trying to stuff his Freudian slip back into his mouth.

3. I saw that. After he corrected himself, he did a creepy laugh. What is it with RW that

it's candidates all have creepy laughs? :shrug:

4. Right before that, he said he would run a "dispirited" campaign--

did he have a stroke or something? Another tumor? I think he needs a CT scan.

6. So he's a conservative liberal conservative?

Glad he's made his position clear.

On edit: I've noticed that Bush also gets confused with opposites. IMO it's because he knows he has to always speak the opposite of the truth. It must tough to juggle opposing concepts all the time and deliberately say the one you know to be wrong.

7. That is such an astute observation. When every minute of one's life is dedicated to covering up and

obsfucating, how can one ever think clearly?
