ROFL Cohen is making sense:
In 2000, I boarded John McCain’s campaign bus, the Straight Talk Express, and, in a metaphorical sense, never got off. Here, truly, was something new under the political sun — a politician who bristled with integrity and seemed to have nothing to hide [*coughcough* Keating Five *coughcough* - eds]. I continue to admire McCain for those and other reasons, but the bus I once rode has gone wobbly. Recently, it veered into the mud. [...]
At 71, McCain would be the oldest man ever elected president, and so age has to be a consideration. My concern for the moment, though, is not McCain’s physical age but his intellectual age — his willingness to revise his views and grapple with the new. Thus far, he has shown scant desire to do any of that.
He’s been running around the country costumed as a George W. Bush conservative. McCain’s tax plan is a joke [...]
And ROFL knows from jokes. He’s a funny guy.

What a coincidence. In 2000, I also boarded John McCain’s campaign bus, the Straight Talk Express, although, in a literal sense, never got off. Seriously, somebody please help me.

nothing to hide [*coughcough* Accusing every postwar Vietnam MIA searcher of being "liars" followed by strong support of the Vietnamese government's refusal to divulge war records. *coughcough* - fxq]

I’m a bit tired, and I first read that as, “I bearded John McCain”.
Is that wrong?

And Obama has nothing to hide[*coughcough*] with his admirable associates. As someone noted, Senator Obama is running as a biography/character candidate, not as a candidate of accomplishment because he has accomplished little except obtaining office. As a biography/character candidate the four corners of that biography that illuminate Obama’s character –Michelle Obama, Pastor Jeremiah Wright, the
unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn , and Obama’s mentor, financier, friend and neighbor, Tony Rezko — are all extremely relevant to the debates of the next six months, and we need to know much more about each corner of the square within which Obama has moved.

Neat, we haven’t had a real troll here in a while.

Merely a cunning simulation of a troll, I suspect. A real troll would have been killed by the ring of highly toxic Wanker-Be-Gone™ employed at the perimeter. No, this is clearly a copy-paste job.

Ya know, when I read Obama’s words on
Civil Rights
Disabilities
Economy
Energy & Environment
Ethics
Faith
Fiscal
Foreign Policy
Healthcare
National Security
Immigration
Iraq
Poverty
Social Security
Veterans
I think mostly of Rev. Wright.
Thanks, Mac A.!!

How can you mistake “ThePoorMan” for “TalkLeft” or “TaylorMarsh”? You’re lost, little girl!
I’m voting for Graham Nash, with whom I took a trip on the Marrakesh Express in 1969.

Back in 1934, I got on the Orient Express, and, in a literary sense, I never got off.

I think I was under that bus.

I think Jeremiah Wright was under that bus and John Hagee will be there soon. Cough.

That onion on McCain’s belt tends to stink up the Straight Talk Express.
