Bad link for some reason...
link needs to have quote marks in it

When this whole October surprise Washington debate was held in 2008 the contemporaneous reports stated that McCain was masterful and Zero couldn’t put two coherent words together.
Now that we’re going through the first round of revisionist history we are told that the opposite occurred.
Am I remembering this wrong? Or are they blowing smoke up all of our collective errr noses?
LOL!! Darn it! :-)
