John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

The increasingly petty and ugly attacks on Barack Obama by a desperate, dying movement are a microcosm of the last eight years.

    Thanks. ( Glad I came back to read. ) Time's web too. wows.

    It was written and jotted down, ... "tit for tat" ... "Don't let anyone take that purpose from you." ... yes. "beaucoup" money is used to smear." yes. it's filth. dirty lucre.

    (It's "stuff" like that, that, that, and much more that is a reason to keep coming back for comment contributions. A real good reason to keep coming back for more.)

    And many more, many many many more that are unmentioned, many excellent others. In my opinion. rollo-spanial, Cocktailhorse, peakdave, and it be silly to mention all comments that are the `wowee, astonishingly impressive, and helpful. jpjones, you smacked me good with the Get Well Card. So Funny.

    It made a good hospital day.

    The `wowsers are negatively critical, and the killjoys.

    The Updates: `b., thee first poster today on page one.

    Will you and pincher P. grab McCain? Scrub him down?

    Use Ivory soap bars. Spoon one lump in the left cheek.

    He's needing a Botox Party for 'our' continued support.

    Get him in the bath tub and Inject Truth `Syrup of Figs.

    It's a warm bath, senna, and safe laxative carminatives.

    Sit in the tub. Lather and scour with horse hair, please.

    After a lathery bath, dry him off. Use sandpaper tissue.

    Dana Millbank is worth a read in the Wa/Po. `VA treat.

    Pincer P. and YKW, all the McCain fans, and Salon readers will love you, and not judge you harshly for using a horse tail, and bristled pig brush in a bath tub with a politician. The two of you in the tub with McCain is not obscene. The You-Tub in the Update was so full of contempt, loathing, and know the nation will love you too. Glenn may consider washing Cindy with Dial soap (tease)? Whoever counsel The GOP can be rubbed down with soothing sardine oil. Women and men may see some things differently, but hurry, drop whatever your doing and get on with the 'job' of cleaning up McCain.

    One commenter said:` knock on doors and clean GOPS.

    Do something! No sitting in a Lazy-girl chair with Palin.
