I thought he was in his element, believe it or not. I’ve never pictured McCain as funny, but when surrounded by hostile democrats I suppose his only hope is to have them laughing so hard they forget they hate him and want him dead.
I thought Hillary was going to pee her pants she was laughing so hard.
Even The One laughed, though it was starting to look forced when McCain mentioned ACORN and his Messiah joke.
I’m glad I watched that. I now will be able to vote with out holding my nose so hard. If he had only been going like this the whole campaign he would be up 15 points. Why did he wait so long? That was fantastic.
The best part is that most of it was not only funny, but true! McCain should speak like that more often, it’s one of the few things I always liked about him.
I watched part of Obama’s speech, too…he had a couple of zingers, but no where near as great as McCain’s and he seemed a bit uncomfortable much of the time.
I agree, thats the McCain everyone should’ve seen since his campaign started. Truthfully he’s overall the more likeable guy between the two candidates. Good job McCain.
I’m absolutely gobsmacked. That was a fantastic speech. Brutal, hilarious and very much on point. Why the HELL didn’t he put that out there when he had a larger forum of mental midgets than NY Demoncrats? Given that most people supporting Osama give the qualities one looks for in a News Anchor and not a President, he may have swung the undecided Retard vote in his favor.
I like going into the weekend on a good note. McCain was excellent. And it was really neat to see Hillary Clinton genuinely laughing. I never thought I’d say this, but she would have been the better opponent in this race. Thanks Barry. My world is totally cuckoo now.
I loved that McCain outdid the Obamassiah to the max! The jabs just kept coming – I thought I’d roll off my seat “that one” showed signs of wanting to crawl under the table over ACORN –
Too bad McCain didnt say what Bill was really doing – Paling around with Bush #1 over in Galviston to get clean-up going in that devestated area – that would have blown the roof off!!!
Yep – wish this could have come a long time ago and fully televised on MSM last night –
It made my day!
Guys, you don’t land a size zero hot beer heiress on a war hero record. Younger John McCain looked like Paul Neuman and then some. Obviously, he’s incredibly funny, too.
You wonder if part of the reason McCain was more cutting, loose, and funny in the debate is that he already knew what he was going to say a few days later at this dinner. One of McCains last points in the debate was to take the absurdity of one of Obama’s statements and repeat it back, then say “I got it” like a smart-mouthed grad student. It was almost a segway to this speech.
Much is made of Obama’s speaking abilities, but I just saw coverage of a McCain rally where you couldn’t hear his ending because the crowd was cheering so loudly – it was like his acceptance speech at the RNC. When you put real passion behind real ideas, it’s so much more effective than fake poise with fruit-loop platitudes that have no basis in fact like we see from Obama.
Saw it live last night. Actually came as suprise. I admit the lack of acrimony was refreshing, if short lived. McCain, without a doubt, killed. Wonder if Dennis Miller wrote the material. In fairness, Barry held his own, but you could tell self depricating humour and laughing at his foibles not really element of who he is – there were moments when the mask slipped and discomfort showed – but to give Glorious Leader credit, he was kinda funny. I mean, not Frank J. funny, or John McCain with “A” material funny, or even unintentionally funny like the new Knight Rider, but at least as funny as this post, and way more funny than Kathy Griffen or Andy Dick.
It was funny until you realized that everyone in that room who was yukking it up was going to be looting our children for yet more debt come late January, 2009. They are parasites, every one of them, and they want more of us to be parasites, too.
Still, I will vote for McCain with few reservations. Those reservations can all be summed up like this: I wish he was Fred Thompson.
McCain is not genuinely funny. He is trying hard to surpass his illuminati counter parts but is weak at best. However, his running mate choice is pretty funny!

That was the October surprise.
McCain, Funny.
The best part is that most of it was not only funny, but true! McCain should speak like that more often, it’s one of the few things I always liked about him.
If McCain’s entire campaign was run like that he’d be up 70 points right now.
I watched part of Obama’s speech, too…he had a couple of zingers, but no where near as great as McCain’s and he seemed a bit uncomfortable much of the time.
Forecast is funny

He was even funny on Letterman last night!!!!

Barry’s laugh was so clearly forced. I was expecting him to stand up and shout “YOU CAN’T MAKE FUN OF ME! I’M THE OBAMAMESSIAH!”
Those who laugh at the obamassiah better be careful – acorn has agents everywhere, and they are taking names for a post election clean-up.

Self deprication AND a stilletto!
Well written, masterfully delivered- loved the
Hillary moments, the MSNBC dig, the strong pro-life message,
and the ending .
