McCain-Palin Rally Attendees Say Incredible, Ridiculous Things

But are they k-i-s-s-i-n-g? Only the McCainBot 2008 knows for sure. Look as Mitt gives the droid-in-need-of oil ~~money~~ a loving gaze after a bruising primary hatefest, as the flip-flopping, former homo-friendly Massachusetts governor stumped for McCain in Utah. The MSM is buzzing about Mitt as a potential VP running mate. Bring it on, John.

Romney joined McCain at a fundraiser in Salt Lake City yesterday and is set to accompany him to another fundraiser in Denver this evening. It is familiar territory for Romney, whose family has roots in Utah and who lived there for several years. Romney raised $6.3 million in Utah, more than from his home state of Massachusetts and second only to his haul from California, during his bid for the GOP nomination.

McCain, by contrast, has raised only about $200,000 from the state. As a result, a vast population of Republican donors in the state is nowhere near to tapping out its allowed $4,600 maximum donation to McCain. The pair's spin through the Mountain West is notable given the palpable disdain that existed between them during the primary.

After the jump, you have to see what Senator Lindsey Graham said about McCain and Holy Joe.

Lindsey Graham calls Holy Joe and McCain 'something special'

As he figuratively humped John McCain's leg during an interview, ~~barely closeted~~ Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) also called Joe Lieberman (I-DINO-CT) "a national treasure." (Think Progress):

GRAHAM: Senator Lieberman, I think, is a national treasure, because no matter how you feel about his politics, he was willing to risk everything, politically, for a cause he believed in. But to see the interaction between these two guys and world leaders was something special. [...]
I think John McCain will be a reassuring presence to the world. ... It really was a smile on people's faces, knowing that if this guy got to be president, I think we could do business with him. ... I think he's a reassuring presence. Doesn't mean that they prefer John over Obama or Senator Clinton, but there's a level of comfort there. [...]

Hat tip to Dr. Zaius, who made a little summer fun activity page with Lindsey and Joe.

And what kind of leadership experience does that give? Is that why he doesn't care what you say, the surge is working, and by the way, let's have 100 MORE years of US "occupation"?
