The helicopters from the embassy roof, kicking people off who wanted to escape.<BR/><BR/>What a plan. <BR/><BR/>Can we expect less from the McCain express? If he could only get bin Laden to cling to a helicopter, then kick him off mid-flight ...<BR/><BR/>Huffington Post reports he said "my friends" 19 times. WSJ says 18, and "my friend" once to the veteran, in the singular.<BR/><BR/>Huey Long used the term "my friends" 19 times in his Every Man a King (but nobody wears a crown) speech. A shorter timeframe, speaking as a younger man. The McCain express comes in second to Long.<BR/><BR/>Second to Obama too seems to be everyone's guess.<BR/><BR/>William Jennings Bryan used it repeatedly in his Cross of Gold speech.<BR/><BR/>Palin's speaking tic, "you know," is less offensive than this one.eric zaetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678223934280297732noreply@blogger.com
