John McCain says "horseshit" in front of 100 m

So I was sure I heard this when it happened live but had no way to double check….until now. Thanks to youtube, we have
confirmation.

And the crotchity old man tone in which he said it couldn't have been more perfect.


Senator! Think of the children!

I think this is understandable, as Senator McCain came of age when horses were the main mode of transport in American cities, and therefore "horseshit" was a very common issue.

Did he say "Of Course" ?

It wouldn't make sense in that context.

He's my man…and why would we want talk with a little insignificant country like Spain anyway?

Actually, I do think he said "of course I did."

The commentary on the debates reconfirms my theory that we've become a nation of adult children. So much of it is over who "won" or "lost" or made the most "gaffes." They spent most of the 90 minutes talking about substance (although still with little detail) and that's all people can think of.

I actually think they both did very well – none of them will change many minds, but people who were leaning one way or another will probably strengthen in their leanings.

I didn't see the debate, I was out and I haven't talked to any of my friends who saw it and the youtube clips piss me off.

Agreed. Both essentially told their base what they wanted to hear; it's hard to say one did better than the other. McCain's bitter old crank demeanor may have turned some people off, though.

McCain seemed really stressed too…did you notice all the jaw clenching and teeth grinding he was doing? Obama seemed much more at ease.

He talked through clenched teeth most of the time.

The real fun will be thursday's vp debate…can't wait to see Palin look even stupider than she already has.

Maybe somebody will feed her lines via an earpiece.

There is no way she will fair much better than she did in that interview with little more than a week between the two without any help.


Biden should request that she be patted down beforehand.

She doesn't even appear capable of reading her lines correctly.

Biden will have to be careful not to take too many easy shots – that will be tempting, and could also make him look bad. If he's smart he'll just let her do herself in.

I must have watched a completely different =debat than most of y'all. During the little bit of the debate I watched had Obama looked very lost and flustered. Lots of "Uh", "Umm", and "Ah" with a very few of little additional substance intermingled. McCain answered directly and specifically. I kind of like the idea of having a president that will call it like it is and say something is horse shit when it is. The only thing McCain seemed frustrated with was having to be up there debating someone who was so poorly prepared for anything other than the lines he memorized.

you, sir, are correct - you must have watched a different debate. i believe you were tuned in to the SciFi channel.

Key words from that statement.

Maybe you're just not used to someone trying to think as they answer as opposed to someone who sticks to talking points (and anyone with any knowledge of the foreign policy issues that were discussed knows how thickly coated McCain's answers were with horseshit and flat out inaccuracy). But as mentioned before, neither candidate really went above or below what was expected of him.
