  McCain Makes a Funny

  McCain conflates trading with Arab nations with trading with al-Qaida. "I don’t want to trade with al-Qaida, all they want to trade is burqas," he says, smiling smugly. "I don’t want to travel with them, all they want is one-way tickets."

  That's almost as good as Thompson's remark about the Iranian boats: "One more step and they would have been introduced to the virgins they were looking forward to seeing."
  

  That's great, first we had the Hillary debate. Now we get the racism debate! Welcome to South Carolina.
