...direct response to a question not about the immigration bill, but about Romney's positioning himself against it. (You can hear the exchange here.) Further, says McCain spokesman Brian Jones, "tonally, it was similar to 'bomb Iran'" - pointedly, a McCain gibe that received similarly mixed reviews - "He made a joke and moved on to something substantive. It was not a temper tantrum; it was not a gaffe. He delivered a line...
...joke may or may not have been scripted, but whenever it popped into his head, McCain was clearly eager to deliver it.

We put our hearts, souls, and every joke that we had made in the preceding week into every column, but it netted us nothing except tens of links to tasteless humor when you google our names. Even when we bared our disgusting, slutty, and totally irresponsible sex lives to the world, we didn’t get so much as a mention on IvyGate.com or a column in the Boston Globe. But the column helped us pick up girls, right? Not exactly, the one girl DA got through...
