    John McCain's Funniest Home Videos - Take 2

    The following is satire. The videos and claims made herein are not to be taken seriously or used as actual talking points.

    Everybody's favorite Clown-in-Chief, John McCain, is at it again with his humorous take on Jerome R. Corsi's new book, "Obama Nation."

    Asked about Corsi's book, which describes Barack Obama as a radical Muslim drug user, McCain replied, "Gotta keep your sense of humor."

    That Ol' Jack Maverick's got us in his spell once again, tickling our ribs by pretending that Corsi's book hasn't been shot down faster than McCain piloting an A-4E Skyhawk. And why distance himself from funny lies about Obama when so many hilarious questions are dogging his own contrail?

    Here's some home videos about McCain he's sure to find just as funny as Corsi's tall tales. Roll tape!

    This first one involves the time when McCain narrowly escaped from the fire on USS Forrestal on July 29, 1967, that killed 134, injured 161, destroyed 21 aircraft and cost the Navy $72 million, which actually happened. But according to some very funny people, McCain may have started the fire.  If true — and that's really beside the point, right? — hot-dogger McCain "wet-started" his A-4E Skyhawk, allowing kerosene to pool in his engine until, when ignited, it "burned off" a Zuni rocket on the jet parked behind him, launching it into McCain's center fuel tank. Funny stuff!

    This next one has to make McCain's sides split, right? Well, maybe not! Watch as a woman whose son was also a POW describes how McCain collaborated with the North Vietnamese from the moment of his capture, even giving away the flight routes of American sorties. Heeheehee! Can McCain disprove it? Who cares!

    And this last video poses that hoot of a riddle: Is John McCain a Manchurian candidate? From the set-up of McCain making 32 anti-American propaganda tapes for the North Vietnamese to the punchline of coming back brainwashed to set up the government of the anti-Christ, this one's classic McCain through-and-through!

    That's it for today. Join us next week for more, and don't miss John McCain's new special, "Celebrity Gaffes, Grins and Guffaws!"
