So pastor Rick is a liar? He said he was in the “cone”. That should make an impression on about 30 million Evangelicals.

If you say McCain cheated then Rick lied.

Good job, NYT. You got the word out to all 3 of your current subscribers about the unholy “breaching” of “the cone of silence,” and one of them might actually believe you and care! Your plunging stock values are sure to rise now.

“Interviewed Sunday on CNN, Mr. Warren seemed surprised to learn that Mr. McCain was not in the building during the Obama interview.”

He did`nt even know if McCain was in the building or not? This will just add fuel to the rumor that McCain cheated.

That piqued my curiosity, so I took a look at the DUmp and they’re calling for Rick Warren to apologize to Obama and all Americans. Warren needn’t apologize to me as I wasn’t offended.

The Left and their blogs/sites can be mildly amusing in a sick way.

They cannot pull a Lautenberg switch in September, I don't think.

Don't count on THAT. Lautenberg "couldn't" pull a switch either.

The media thinks McCain is old, confused, and senile. How could he possibly remember all of The One`s answers?

I am so sick and tired of the “cheating” claims. OMG! Everything is a conspiracy or cheating. It grows old and wearisome.

The One`s campaign just expected McCain to sit there with a vacant look in his eyes and drool. Because he did`nt, they of course throw out the accusation that he cheated. It`s amusing. The libs think The One mopped the floor with McCain at the forum, but they`re crying that he cheated.

Every damn time McCain smashes hussein at any debate or forum apparently, the media will claim cheating apparently.

It’s gonna happen quite a lot of times.

"the Democratic delegates and superdelegates who will select their nominee in two weeks saw the “debate”.

Hillary saw it as well.

Darn good point!

Why would one have to “prepare” for these questions anyway? They struck me as questions that one would “know” the answer to, as things that go straight to what you believe and things you should be able to articulate day and night....no preparation needed.

So let me get this straight.....Obama went first and somehow, McCain planted that idiotic "above my pay grade" response into Obama's head?.....oh wait....never mind, Barack dropped that turd all by himself.

The Obama campaign is pathetic to accuse Warren and McCain of lying. Even if he heard the answers, I bet he laughed out loud when Barry blurted out the paygrade stupidity.

Exactly. And Baraq didn't because he has to make up new realities as he goes.
