That's a pun?

Mao sounds like "Me-ow" - and it's a black cat.

Did I get it?

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

McCain quoting Mao? No surprise... he's a lefty.

a liberal?

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'?

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.'"

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