They Said It. I Repeat It.

"I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I fucking changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

**Damn. That Atrios fella beat me to it.

Maybe It Was Pure Unadulterated Fear.

Is it just me or did McCain seem fucking wired or what? His eyes were wide, his pupils looked huge, he was grinding his teeth, his affect and gestures were inappropriate. I know drugs. I'm just saying.

Also, will John McCain's huffs 'n' snorts of derision be reported ad nauseam and ridiculed in the same way Al Gore's sighs were in the 2000 debates?

Sadly, I think not.

In Case You Missed It

OMFG, McCain just called CBS' Bob Schieffer "Mr. Harris."

WTF?

**Update: Was McCain referring to frequent fellow Face The Nation guest WaPo National Political Editor John Harris?
