Someone asked John McCain at a deal today whether or not Barack Obama was calling Sarah Palin a pig last week when he was not doing that. McCain responded “no,” and added — as he did on The View last week — that Obama “chooses his words very carefully” and shouldn’t have said that. We half-agree with Walnuts here! It probably was a deliberate word choice in order to bait McCain into responding like a nutcase, which he frequently does due to his old age. So Barack Obama shouldn’t have said that, you see, because he knew all along that it would damage his opposition. [Jonathan Martin]
