Letterman Bitch Slaps McCain on "Terrorist" Remarks

Posted on October 17, 2008

John McCain Gives Good Face

Posted on October 16, 2008
Here's the debate in 90 seconds ... not the substantive parts, really. Because, who the hell could listen to what anyone was saying with McCain making all those Crusty McBastard faces. There were moments, in fact, when I thought...
