Your Friday funnies... a look back at the funniest things John McCain has ever said:
Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno. [1998]
"The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs." [1999]
"Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a
gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she
finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over
to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, ‘Where is that marvelous
ape?'" [1986]
"The French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who
is still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for
it," McCain told Fox News a few years ago.
...he — in jest — referred to a young man who asked about his age as "you little jerk," before telling him, "You're drafted." [2008]
McCain was also recently condemned by the government of Iran for
suggesting that increasing U.S. cigarette sales to Iran could be "a way
of killing 'em." [2008]
[Charlie Crist, on how much persistent McCain was]
“Well, not that much,” Crist began answering. “It was just waterboarding,” McCain interjected. [2008]
Did we miss any? Well, no matter what, this guy has better comic timing than Bush... or Barack Obama. We're just not certain he's helping his campaign by weilding it...
