There are two interesting things that came out of John McCain's last appearance on The O'Reilly Factor. One, he clearly lied about voting for Bush in 2000. Arianna Huffington said earlier this week that he told a table full of guests at a dinner they had together that he did not vote for Bush in the 2000 general election. Since then, there have been four other witnesses that corroborated Huffington's story to The Washington Post, New York Times and LA Times.
That's part of the reason why McCain looks and sounds so nervous below, which leads to the second interesting point. He has entered the maniacal laughter competition with Hillary Clinton. His laugh below is so forced and awkward that it's a little painful to look at. So, check out the video below and then tell us who has the weirder laugh, McCain or Hillary:

1. "Whose fake laughter was worst?" (end of clip)
what 2nd grader do you have writing for you? My apologies to all 2nd graders reading this.
Cenk, your an idiot.

2. The real question is who sucks more, McCain or Clinton? I'd say it is a toss up...
The worst part about the video is I had to look at Bill O'Reilly's ugly face. Please try not to have him in any more videos, OK?

3. Gee Cenk, I thought we weren't doing ad hominems.

4. Is this really the best you dimwits can come up with? When is AOL going to toss you out with the rest of the garbage? What's next, who farts louder, McCain or Hillary (because, clearly, Obama has never, nor will he ever, fart, in your book)?

5. Hussein Obama is worthless piece of shit.

6. Sinc I can't post on your biased page...
Fox news and Time magazine are as unbiased as this blog. It would seem a news service and a blog are unbiased if you agree with their opinions and news coverage.

10. Similar to arguing the candidate most likely to wear Depends. Is it McCain, Madame Clinton, or Obama?

You laugh is by, worse than either.
Should you not look at the experience of a candidate who might be the leader of the USA.
From the time Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as a US Senator, to the first time he announced he was forming an exploratory committee for a run for the Democrat Nomination and US President position, Barack Hussein Obama had 143 days of experience . That is how many days the US Senate was actually in session and working. 143 days of work experience, and Barak Hussein Obama believe he was ready to be Commander in Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill in the shoe of Abe, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
Hillary has more time in the ladies room at the US Senate. McCain has 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service, including 1,966 days as a POW in N.Vietnam.
And Cenk is comparing how the candidates laugh (left out Barak Hussein Obama's name)-did he quit the race or did Hillary win?

13. "Since then, there have been four other witnesses that corroborated Huffington's story to The Washington Post, New York Times and LA Times."
More great reporting - the four "other" witnesses have been identified as left-wing Hollyweird producers and activists. Why don't you use their names? The Thomason's I think and maybe Aaron Sorkin who produced the left wing "West Wing" series. Once people saw who they were they would immediately discount anything they had to say to the three bird cage liner papers mentioned.
Besides that, who cares who he voted for in 2000?
Fortunately, he was 1) able to vote for who he wanted 2) able to speak about it afterward (if he wanted to)
Huffinton is the largest windbag on any show. She and Ann Coulter should just fade away...

14. Experience, look at the mess experience has us in.
Heres the truth people, if Barak Obama was running against Adolf Hitler, Hitler would win. I know this and so do the right wingers, come on folks this is America

15. The laugh is not the issue here, the issue is the lie or supposed lie about his not voting for Bush in 2000. First things first. If he didn't vote for Bush in 2000 then he's smarter than he looks. Second, if he didn't vote for Bush in 2000 did he vote for Gore or did he just not vote? That speaks louder than any laugh. Third, who cares, there's more important issues to talk about than a candidates laugh, nervous or not. Maybe it is a trait though when he lies that we should be looking at in future appearances. Lord only knows we don't need another liar in the White House. Eight years of that has been enough!
