    Uh… Why not just say a quote from Mao Tse-tung!

    You might as well give credit to a 12-year old that cites a good quote.

    “I like what Mao said: ‘Its always darkest before it’s totally black.’”
    - Little Bo Peep, American child with no reputable credibility

    This just isn’t my bias coming out to attack a liberal in republican clothing.

    I’m glad someone else picked up on this. Of all the people and all the quotes he could use, why the hell would he pick one from ‘Chairman Mao’?

    McCain quoting Mao? No surprise… he’s a lefty.

    Ah, you guys didn’t get it – McCain was joking. Mao never said that at all. It was a clever pun. Maybe too clever!

    That’s a pun?

    Mao sounds like “Me-ow” – and it’s a black cat.

    Did I get it?
