12. But, but, the commercial I saw a little while ago implied that Rev. Wright was his influence

McCain is talking out both sides of his mouth.

[ColbertWatcher]

14. He's talking out of two holes, that's for sure. n/t

[Mabus]

19. And neither hole knows what the other one is doing.

17. It seems that he had some credibility in the past, but I have ever reason

to doubt his sincerity.

4. Written by a staffer

I wouldn't doubt that their real feelings were already posted on freepervile.

[thunder rising]

7. No I think he wrote it. He's good with such tributes.

5. Lier

They lie about Barack's background and then say this. I do not believe they have any feeling for him as they were trashing him today as usual. Sorry but I feel this way. They are mean.

[barbtries]

6. that was classy

as it should be. he'll no doubt leave it to his surrogates and attack dog to roll in the mud.

10. Nice gesture

[stillcool]

11. I'm sure if they could've figured out a way...

to slam him at the same time they would have done it. There is no low they will not go.

[Turbineguy]

13. That's nice.

It's a shame that he has to hurry with such things before his supporters make a mess of it.

15. "and I hope Senator Obama can find comfort with friends...

like Bill Ayers and spiritual advisers like Jeremiah Wright".
