John McCain is so full of shit, I think I’m going to start referring to going number 2 as “taking a McCain.”

Dan Savage used this approach when he effectively turned Santorum into a filthy word denoting things for which I might get moderated for spelling out here! It caught on and endures, that meme.

Hint: a Santorum is a very frothy, juicy activity.

Wagonjak – I agree that Abrams was getting better lately, and also wish they’d flushed Matthews to make room for Rachael.
