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:

31. You are a very hateful person. Best to steer clear of Obama if you are the caliber of those supporting him. Do you, in your tiny little mind believe denigrating will sway voters to him?
Cosmic Canine at 5:46PM on May 11th 2008
32. You Obama haters must be desperate. I realize that Obama failed to dumb it down for you republitards.
There are 50 states, (which even you rednecks grasp) and there is the District Of Columbia and SIX U.S. Territories.
American Samoa
Guam
Northern Mariana Islands
Puerto Rico
Swains Island
U.S. Virgin Islands
That adds up to 57 States, territories and Districts which get a say in the national election process.

33. Actually he said he had been to 57 states and had "one to go" (58) and then corrected himself and said he hadn't been to Alaska and Hawaii (59) because his staff wouldn't justify it.

34. Bob,
Good point. Heck, all these years I thought there were only 50 states, 6 territories and a District.
Lets see, 57 states + Alaska and Hawaii = 59 states.
Now I know why people are bitching about a public school education.

35. Now I know why people bitch about home schooling.
Captain Negative at 6:35PM on May 11th 2008
36. After Obama said that there are 57 states, when questioned a little later on by reporters and admitted he made a mistake.
Why name places as what was ment by Obama to come up with 57, that are not states, to cover up Obama's mistake? Is there no end to covering up for Obama. Obama admitted he made the mistake.
Or did Obama lie???? Does he really believe there are 59 states? (Obama said he did not include Hawaii or Alaska)

37. Allowing for inbreeding, republicans (for the most part) have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Obviously numbers greater than 20 are difficult for wingers.
Okane is paranoid and delusional enough to imagine some massive coverup of a simple misstatment, as long as tha misstatement is made by Obama.
But then, Okane and his ilk, are still shrilly squealing about Obama being an undercover Muslim and all round, semi-African-American guy.
For the wacko, Okane crowd, it isn't enough that the man wants to be President of the United States. There has to be some absurd, racist, Muslim conspiracy behind it.
Making monsterous issues of a simple error in speech is what gets us the type of political we deserve.
You want to see someone mis-speak on a daily basis, watch Letterman. Every show features George W. Bush saying something stupid.

39. It seems like desperation is setting in real fast for all you “republitards” (Thank you Captain Negative, I just had to use your word!) . I could have sworn the title of this blog was about Hillary and McCain’s fake laughs. Which I do not think either has a fake laugh at all. I personally like Hillary’s laugh!
Furthermore, even if I am a total Obama supporter, if she can manage to pull out some kind of miracle I will be there for Hillary, there is no way that 2009 will go to McCain!!
If it is not Obama, it will be Hillary one way or another the Democrats will take the White House back from the Dark Side!

40. Not that it's important at all...but I can tolerate McCaine's Laugh...But when it comes to Hillary...I have to change the channel when they are Playing tape w/ her laughing in it...it's like a nail in the head. I'm sure it's not important, but if you can't tolerate to listen to what they are saying because of their Laugh...Then Someone should tell them near them, Not to laugh or at least "FAKE" laugh. Obama is just as bad as Hillary though...so why didn't they include him in the POLL? Could it be they are pushing for a Obama win when they, as media be "IMPARTIAL". What ever happened to the Walter Cronkite days when the News and Media were impartial and let you chose from FACT and not Stupid things like "who has the best Fake laugh"...and picking them apart for things that can't be proven or is supposed to be Totally private (like the "SECRET" ballet in voting). There is a reason why they say "SECRET BALLET", it's not our business...and I never even told my exhusband who I voted for when we were married.

41. Captain "I cannot read and comprehend" Negative
You read a simple story of Obama just making a mistake, something everyone does, called in some circles a brain fart. You fail to comprehend what Obama said then quickly come up with 7 more "states" to add up to 57. Except dummy, you missed that story also said Obama did not go to Alaska and Hawaii which then equals 59.
I added in that maybe Obama "lied", something so stupid that it was funny. Yet someone so stupid as Captain Negative thought it was serious, then goes into his Rev Wright style ranting and back to his standard name calling, Inbreeding, delusional,etc. Then pointing out his counting skills of adding 10 fingers and 10 toes=20. Captain, you did not read and understand, and you had the reading problem.
PS-I am quite sure Letterman could use some of the stupid comments you make after not reading a news story or a posting correctly.

42. Captain Negative-
Did you remember to send flowers to your ex mother in law?????
robert okane at 3:19AM on May 12th 2008
43. Robert, it certainly appears that I have struck a nerve.
As usual, I hold the hoops and you jump through them. I play the fiddle and you dance to it.
Robert, I'm sure your mother enjoyed the benefit of your employee discount at Burger King.
Captain Negative at 4:43AM on May 12th 2008
44. First, I don't believe a word that Arianna says since becoming a bitter liberal. I've yet to understand how such a bright, articulate woman could betray the conservative movement and become a liberal.
Considering her net worth, why join a party that thinks she should pay more taxes?
As for the weirdest laugh, clearly it's Hillary. I remember when Rush Limbaugh used to play her laugh, and then Flipper the dolphin, and I could barely tell the difference.
But the worst laugh belongs to George W. Bush with the high-pitched "Hee hee."
Kent at 7:48AM on May 12th 2008
45. Of course when Obama laughs, it's violins playing, angels singing, bells ringing.
Of course Obama doesn't laugh unless it's in the speech, so I guess that accounts for some of it.
Cenk...what a buffoon.
