Didn't you hear his Pennsylvania speech? What he meant to say in this instance (my friends) was "most unqualified". It's a good speaking technique - you can always say you meant the opposite of what you said the first time.

No fair. The jokes just write themselves.

Why isn't McCain being called the greatest exaggerator of all time? He has repeatedly said Palin is the most qualified expert on . Al Gore got beat up for much less than what McCain has done during this campaign.

He was referring to Dancing with the Stars though right? Or maybe most qualified to be a newsreader on Fox? Centerfold for Field and Stream?

... that was supposed to say, "the most qualified expert on *insert today's topic here*."

pssst!. . . Steve. . .Joe Biden. Add Biden to your list.

Oh MAN, I *love* the fact that McCain: 1. Said this, and 2. Went on DON IMUS' SHOW. OMG! Can it get any better than this?

Please forgive me in advance.

Most qualified = "She has tits."

Now, now. He said she's the most qualified of anyone recently who has run for vice president.

By "recently" he probably means in the past two or three years. ;-)

(of course, she's still in second place even by that standard...)

There is a qualifier in the statement. He doesn't simply say "the most qualified," but "the most qualified to tell the truth." And while I would strongly disagree with that statement, I don't think it is a stretch to think that he honestly believes it.

I guess the takeaway here is that John McCain is the least qualified presidential candidate in recent history.

I'm thinking this will make "McCain in the Membrane" tonight.

So McCain is either delusional or lying. What's new?

Possibly the funniest part is when you bring up Joe Lieberman. Not only is McCain saying patently ridiculous things, but he's saying patently ridiculous things that are apt to piss off one of his major allies.

I really hope someone asks McCain or Lieberman whether Lieberman is more or less qualified to be VP than Palin.

He doesn't give a shit anymore, because he knows it's over for him. So what will it hurt if he talks out his ass for the next two weeks?

Other comments he made on Imus reflect this as well.

without question she is the most qualified sitting alaskan governor to ever run for vice president on a major party ticket.

I didn't understand how important winning was, and I always thought of it as the 'only thing!'

Or maybe I didn't understand the lack of importance of name, reputation, integrity and credibility.

It is just fascinating to watch. These people could say things that were honest but not rude and get the same point across. However, they choose to look and sound like complete morons.

Cheers!

Perhaps he meant: most qualified to bounce up and down on his lap and call him "daddy."

Just sayin'.

This is getting into strawberries and keys territory.

TG Chicago, Lieberman has little dignity left to be offended.

"He was referring to Dancing with the Stars though right?"

Don't laugh. I fully expect her to be competing with gusto in the next season or two...or Sarah and Todd on The Amazing Race.

What am I? Chopped Liver?

Don Imus still has a show??????

Imus and McCain later described Michelle Obama as a Nappy Headed Ho.. Right?

Does Don Imus not have a response? I thought he was supposed to be such a maverick and unafraid to say what he thinks, even when it is offensive to someone. Obviously, he wants to keep his job and knows who is paying his salary. Nappy Headed Ho's? not so much.

peace,
st john

Mister McCain I have a question: How do you keep the gun out of your mouth?

And I have a followup: Is it because your foot takes up so much room?

saint zak: would the amazing race be the white one?
peace,
st john

Even Dan Quayle was more qualified than Sarah Palin.

Hey, he had to say it. To back off now would be to admit the entire campaign has been a fraud and a waste, and what's left of the Republican party would turn on him and savage him like piranhas in a grade-B jungle movie. There's nothing left for him but to play out this little drama to the end.

Anybody see the current Mayor of Wasilla on The Daily show ...qualified to ...what?

Admiral Stockdale was way more qualified. And more coherent.

I just went back and reread the quote and it reads differently if you put a comma before "to tell you the truth".

I don't have the intestinal fortitude to actually listen to McCain speak those lines, so can somebody who has listened tell me HOW he said the line?

Thanks.

And the infidels have been defeated and are nowhere near Bagdad!

just in case no one else has said it, i'd have to agree with st. john. since the vice-president doesn't actually HAVE to do anything, i'd say bible spice is perfectly qualified for the job.

McCain went on to say "also, we have always been at war with Eastasia".

Hilarious. I see our craps-playing GOP candidate has doubled-down again....

Add delusional to McCain being erratic....

If McCain is on Imus, he's clearly trying to reach racists.

See, McCain has figured that being president over the next four or eight years is going to be so hard that he's just given up. He now wants Obama to win.

How else can you explain these meltdowns?

As much as I dislike Cheney's policies and approach, he's certainly degrees of magnitude more qualified to be VP (and by many accounts, is actually our President), than Palin.

This overreaching appeal to the truth in McCain's judgement of Palin only makes him look less truthful.

Hey, McCain sometimes gets adjectives confused. It's so easy to mix up "qualified" with "loony"; it must happen to other people out there, right?

Uh-hunh. Right, gramps. Sure she is. She's a great lady.

Listen, why don't you come over here and sit down in the shade for a bit, while I have the nurse go fetch your medicine, OK? How's that? That's right. That's much better, isn't it?

Say, why don't you tell us your story about when the first automobile came to town? I love that one.

Reminds me of what H.W. said about Clarence Thomas, calling him the most qualified person (not even the most qualified AA jurist...)

Well, she is certainly the most pro-American, you betcha.

I was going to say what Marc in Denver did also. Totally reminded me of Pere Bush and the nomination of Clarence "Best Man for the Job" Thomas also.

"Possibly the funniest part is when you bring up Joe Lieberman. Not only is McCain saying patently ridiculous things, but he's saying patently ridiculous things that are apt to piss off one of his major allies."

Grinnin' Joe? Doesn't have the "piss off" bone. I think he uses a catheter also.

Lieberman is McCain's lap-dog. Nothing McCain could do would piss him off, except maybe losing the election.

McCain's an ass.

Hey, biggerbox - you crack me up. That was FUNNY!

Were I advising McCain, I'd tell him just to start throwing totally insane shit out there. It's not like his base cares. Have some fun with it, I say. Did you know, for example:

1. Sarah Palin discovered penicillin
2. She bested Andre the Giant to win Wrestlemania II
3. Palin once traveled back in time to prevent the great Bruebaker tenement fire of 1905 which claimed the lives of over 50 children. Never heard of it? That's 'cause thanks to her, it never happened.
4. Is eminently qualified to be POTUS.
5. Once spent $150,000 of Republican party money during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression to outfit herself and her family in high-end designer clothes and accessories.

Ok, the last two are just out there -- I mean, really -- but you get my drift.

If you buy LBJ's line that the Vice-Presidency "ain't worth a bucket of warm piss", she's perfectly qualified. The other guys listed would be hopelessly over-qualified.

PALIN FLAP

Chris Matthews and others have been bashing VP candidate Sarah Palin for her view of the role of the vice president. In response to a question from a 3rd grader, she said, among other things, that the VP is in charge of the Senate and can promote policies there that will improve our nation.

The pundits keep pointing out that, under the Constitution, the vice president's role is only to succeed the president if necessary and to preside over the Senate, voting only to break any tie.

Has no one heard of Dick Cheney? He has demonstrated that the VP job can include running the White House, monitoring the CIA, firing Justice Department lawyers, promoting the use of torture, and starting wars in the Middle East.
