You only thought McCain was making an embarrassing gaffe in Pa. earlier today. Actually, it was a brilliant riff on the Eagles' "Hotel California."
Palin's expression when he calls the entire group of his supporters prisoners, is priceless. What's interesting to speculate about is what he was thinking about. Flashback?— Talking point sleuth
Comment removed.- Crime, was Ayers ever convicted of a crime? If not who dropped the ball..after all if he is a "Domestic Terrorist" shouldn't he be "detained"? BTW,only some of US are Georgians,now, We are ALL POWs(Prisoners of "W") McCain/ Pai Lin ...kNOw FEAR— irishdave3
Ayers was not well known outside of radical circles until his book and interviews around it in 2001, which is why Obama was not aware of his radical past in 1995. (Note that Obama could not have helped Ayers promote his book in 1997 since it had not been published.)- Comment removed.

Swifty, that dog don't hunt. All it's doin' is wetting your boots.- This is certainly a misstatement, but a gaffe? He often refers to his "fellow prisoners", many of whom join him at campaign stops. Do you really think this will somehow do harm to McCain's campaign? (How about we discuss Obama's campaign first accusing McCain of stealing his idea about buying bad mortgages, and then turning around and calling the plan reckless and out of touch?)— bon
- Don't think it will make a difference but it also doesn't show much respect for his followers. Perhaps he thinks that republicans in general (and especially his neocon base) will soon be prisoners of the loony-left world of Barrack Obama. Hope they enjoy it as much as we on the the progressive side have for the last 8 years.— James TL
