No - waaay funny, with three a's. BUT: How about some more substance? If you are going to slam McCain, slam him about: - Having 80-something corporate financial industry lobbyists on his campaign team, many of whom are pushing to make the bailout as favorable to their industry buddies as possible. - Being a member of the Keating 5 - Have years of military experience and STILL being completely clueless about Iraq every time he opens his mouth ("They will greet us with flowers!" "It's going great!" "We've won! Oops, not yet ... NOW we've won! Oops...") - Graduating 5th from the bottom of his class of 800 at Annapolis. - Having terminal cancer and "releasing" his medical records by stacking tens of thousands of documents in a room and letting reporters wander around in it for 2 hours - without any cell phones, cameras, or other recording devices. - Confusing "honor" and "victory" with "reasonable, realistic foreign policy". "But we've already dumped so much blood and money into Iraq, we can't stop now!" What is he, a compulsive gambler? With other people's lives? - I'm a maverick! I voted against Bush 10% of the time! - And so forth... Way funny. No – waaay funny, with three a’s.

BUT: How about some more substance? If you are going to slam McCain, slam him about:
- Having 80-something corporate financial industry lobbyists on his campaign team, many of whom are pushing to make the bailout as favorable to their industry buddies as possible.
- Being a member of the Keating 5
- Have years of military experience and STILL being completely clueless about Iraq every time he opens his mouth (“They will greet us with flowers!” “It’s going great!” “We’ve won! Oops, not yet … NOW we’ve won! Oops…”)
- Graduating 5th from the bottom of his class of 800 at Annapolis.
- Having terminal cancer and “releasing” his medical records by stacking tens of thousands of documents in a room and letting reporters wander around in it for 2 hours – without any cell phones, cameras, or other recording devices.
- Confusing “honor” and “victory” with “reasonable, realistic foreign policy”. “But we’ve already dumped so much blood and money into Iraq, we can’t stop now!” What is he, a compulsive gambler? With other people’s lives?
- I’m a maverick! I voted against Bush 10% of the time!
- And so forth…
