Old Joe LIEberman wasn't there to whisper in his ear and tell him that he has, once again, goofed up.

it would've been great if he'd had a full-blown vietnam flashback. cue the helicopter and gunfire sound effects, zoom in on his confused and angry face...

The REAL answer is that McCain, as the confirmed next POTUS, has already been debriefed by the exiting WH staff on the fact that we are all living on a quarantined prison planet run by extraterrestrials.

A friend's father is an 88 year old retire bank president. He still thinks clearly. He said that by the time one is seventy years old he is well past his prime, (generally thought to be in one's late fourties to early fifties,) and should not be president of the U.S. Subtle capabilities are lost and anyone in his seventies and older realizes this to be true. He said that he may live to be one-hundred, but he will never again be what he was in his fifties.

Nobody in that crowd misses a beat. Is this all a virtual game?

Since McCain/Palin supporters have taken to the idea of cheering at the end of every statement their candidates make, like a period is a signal to cheer, it is startling that even they hesitated a moment or two when they heard that they were fellow prisoners. In a subtle way they are the candidates prisoners, because they are forced to act enthusiastically about two of the most absurd candidates for the executive branch Americans have seen since LaRouche.

why is no one explaining joe biden's gaffe? McCain had a slip of the tongue but either Joe Biden doesn't know history or he is so use to hyperbole that he doesn't know the truth

The man has PTSD. I think the crowd and the stress precipitated a flashback, and he tried to brazen his way through without letting on he was not fully oriented. I think he got caught between his two worlds there for a minute.

Someone above wrote: "It was just a minor verbal gaffe"

But why "prisoners" and not something like "my fellow politicians"?

Saying "prisoners" DECADES AFTER his IMPRISONMENT and TORTURE, seems to indicate something unhealthy going on.

Let's see John McCain makes this comment during a campaign stop and he's lost his mental faculties. Joe Biden in a control sit down tells how the FDR went on TV to explain the Crash of 1929. What's his excuse????? And why didn't the liberal news media jump all over him? Answers its own question, doesn't it?

I think he did it on purpose. After all, it's been a few days since we were reminded that he was a POW. This was just his attempt at subliminally getting that message across again!

McCain looks stiff and drugged to me at the debate, did anyone notice later in the debate when Obama was standing and speaking, McCain appeared in the camera lens just to the left of Obama and even walked alittle past him toward the audience and gave a hand signal or weird wave to someone in the audience? perhaps his wifie?? that wasn,t natural or appropriate either, maybe he forgot where he was???

what was that guy in the audience yelling while mccain was speaking?

was it a rabid, unhinged mccain supporter, calling for the blood of senator obama? or was it a code pink or other protester heckling mccain?

clearly, he was thinking about something other than what he was speaking about.

Perhaps he meant that the coup has taken place, and Americans don't realize it yet. He's sending a subtle warning that you're all prisoners in your country now, a police state.

Gosh, even the 18th century was better than this. Try the middle ages, before the age of reason, when McCain was not senile.

Cali - I agree that it wasn't racist. It was, however, dismissive, arrogant, and childish.

What with all the gaffes coming from Palin and McCain, I'm actually starting to feel a little sorry for them. Maybe that's the plan?
