That's What He Said

Here are the leading questions and Senator McCain's answers from tonight's presidential debate. (All answers are edited for length, but they're straight from the Maverick's mouth.)


Q: Do you support the financial bail-out of Wall Street?
A: Dwight David Eisenhower... Normandy... people in my administration will be held accountable... oil.

Q: Are their fundamental differences between you and Senator Obama to what you would do as president to lead the country out of this financial crisis?
A: We Republicans... DNA of bears in Montana... I've got a pen; well, this one's kind of old... I was called "The Sheriff"... I didn't win Miss Congeniality... it was festooned with Christmas tree ornaments!

Q: If they pass the $700 billion bail-out, what will you have to give up in your plans?
A: We tried to build a little ship... defense spending is very important... we have to eliminate 'em!...how 'bout a spending freeze on everything but defense spending and several other areas... I was not elected Miss Congeniality... Maverick... I've got a partner that is a good maverick with me now.

Q: We've seen the lessons of Vietnam, what do you say about the lessons of Iraq?
A: Strategy... has succeeded... winning in Iraq... succeeds... will succeed... our troops will come home, not in defeat... winning.

Q: Should more troops be sent to Afghanistan? If so, how many, and when?
A: You had better be ready to pull the trigger... General Petraeus... strategy... will succeed... I'm going to attack 'em... (Uh oh... Obama just mentioned the time that McCain sang the "Bomb Bomb Iran" song. This might get awkward.) ...Ronald Reagan... I was afraid... Acka men... Ackamenjinad... Akamenijad...

WAIT ONE HOT MINUTE. WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR FLAG PIN, JOHN McCAIN?


That's enough. You get the idea. I hardly care anymore.

He may not have a flag pin on, but at least he salutes the flag during the National Anthem!
