McCAIN Refuses To Define "Honor"
There's a theme that recurs in your books and your speeches, both about putting country first but also about honor. I wonder if you could define honor for us?

McCAIN: Read it in my books.

I've read your books.

McCAIN: No, I'm not going to define it.

But honor in politics?

McCAIN: I defined it in five books. Read my books.

2. Mental acuity clearly on the wane. Take a hard look, America--you think this is better
than voting for a black guy?

6. Paranoid much?
When asked if he would keep the straight talk coming, McCain replied, "You think I could survive if I didn't? We'd never be forgiven ... I'd have to hire a food taster, somebody to start my car in the morning."


Come on John, you're not a mafia don; you're a hack of a politician who campaigns on the status of being a POW from a war that is becoming a distant memory to younger generations. As far as being a maverick, leave that to Tom Cruise and the movies.

9. I'll have my staff get back to you. Remember I don't speak for this campaign.
My handlers tell me my position, so i'm not sure my old definition of honor is exactly what I think it is today.

11. I have a hunch that we will be hearing about this from our candidate.
parhaps as soon as tonight. Obama will want to call McSame on this honor thing, which is a direct attack on McSame's dishonorable campaign.
