WHAT DOESN'T McCAIN GET ABOUT THE WORD "SPECIFICALLY"?

So by no we all know that John McCain believes that Barack Obama "played the race card", but what gets me is that he can't quite seem to pinpoint when that card was played. I've heard reporters ask several times now, "Why specifically did he say that played the race card?", and McCain's response is always a very vague, "Well, because of his comments." Isn't it weird that Mr. McCain can't quite define the words by which the "race card" was played? After all, patriotism has nothing to do with race... and funny names aren't exclusive to one race... and McCain's campaign did in fact make light of Obama "photoshopping" himself on the $100 bill.

I mean if he was really as disappointed as he claims, he should be able to say, "It was right here, when he said this line, and that's why it's a racial statement." But like many other things in this campaign, McCain would rather deal in broad strokes with vague explanations, rather than having some of that "straight talk" he claims he's a fan of.

Also, wait for the end of the video when McCain mentions his "fight for the recognition of Martin Luther King's birthday in his home state of Arizona" statement. It's interesting to note that in 1983, McCain voted against a Federal Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and four years later backed a controversial decision by the then Arizona Governor to rescind the holiday, saying he thought the Governor was "correct" in his decision.

McCain has another bit of great flip-flopping on the Confederate Flag (scroll down on page).

John McCain's thought bubble during awkward silence:

"Holy, horse-tits! I thought this was a waffle meet-n-greet. Now what's this broad going on about? A Race Card? What the hell's a Race Card? And why does that sound familiar...? Oh, yeah. Just yesterday Rove was yammering something about a Race Card talking point while I was on the crapper. Okay, so what was it I was supposed to say? Obama's a lesbian? No. That's not it. Christ, I'll just ask her to repeat the question and hope Lieberman's nearby..."
