#1 McCain deadpanned about the marathon race between the Democrats: "I hate to watch it. It's terrible. My heart goes out to them."

I thought he deadpanned that comment concerning anyone who watches The Daily Show. What the hell was he thinking doing that, unless he wanted to get a closer look at stewarts gawd-awefull latest face job. If ya wanna choose a TV star, even as a joke, for Vice President of the United States of America, at least choose Dennis Leary. I can hear it now, "Two words Imajinninthere, F*ck You. Smoking ban, I don't think so - If I can smell smoke I know your rotten ass is still burning in hell!" -puffs on cig-"

#2 Senator McCain has been on the Daily Show before, and does quite well in front of that audience, while bluntly telling them truths quite the opposite of the cant Mr. Stewart spouts nightly. I strongly suspect he's opened more than a few minds to question the Stewart/New York Times party line.

I did wonder who Dwight Shrute was. Mr. Stewart didn't react noticeably to the name.

#3 Personally, I want Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer). Though not exactly for my vice president.

#5 There's an exemption to the lips-falling-off rule if everyone with a brain knows it's for sarcastic purposes.

#6 The Daily Show with John Leibowitz (as Mark Levin would say). Leibowitz is snarky in a fairly myopic kind of way; lucky for him that's all his audience generally understands.
