- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The IED joke was actually McCains best. It was possibly in bad taste, but reasonably funny.
He then, however, proceeded to joke about that he had kicked the dog which was on the set.
Yes, really.
He gave a very jittery and nervous impression throughout, even though Stewart did his best to make McCain look good. I think he basically had a mental meltdown and garbled the jokes and lines he'd memorated and planned to deliver, and the result was... not very favorable. - freebirdpat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I have heard of troops having a good time in March with a specific joke. "Beware the IEDS of March."
Troops and people use humor to relieve stress and other reasons. The Dems and the Reps are overdue, and should stop fighting and WORK TOGETHER for once. Instead of squabbling over what someone said on a late night comedy program. - hawkeye17, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Buh, Buh, Bye...Bye John McCain.

Now, Saudi Arabia won’t because they wanted us out of there in the first place. So—and we don’t have to be right there. We can go to Okinawa. We, we don’t have—we can redeploy there almost instantly. So that’s not—that’s, that’s a fallacy. That, that’s just a statement to rial up people to support a failed policy wrapped in illusion.
MR. RUSSERT: But it’d be tough to have a timely response from Okinawa.
REP. MURTHA: Well, it—you know, they—when I say Okinawa, I, I’m saying troops in Okinawa. When I say a timely response, you know, our fighters can fly from Okinawa very quickly. And—and—when they don’t know we’re coming. There’s no question about it. And, and where those airplanes won’t—came from I can’t tell you, but, but I’ll tell you one thing, it doesn’t take very long for them to get in with cruise missiles or with, with fighter aircraft or, or attack aircraft, it doesn’t take any time at all. So we, we have done—this one particular operation, to say that that couldn’t have done, done—it was done from the outside, for heaven’s sakes.

***** Murtha.
I liked the joke. In fact some of the troops Murtha thinks he speaks for share his opinion.
