8. Well, he made disrespectful use of suicide terminology
He joked about suicide, claiming he'd kill himself if the Dems took the election. So far in the media there's been not a single follow-up peep, so I had Cartoon Jon Stewart do it on my blog. If a Dem had said that, the media would still be moaning and hand-wringing about "disrespect for the many people who have lost close family members to suicide", interviewing those "many people" to extract nuanced condemnations of the Dem who said it, and interviewing the heads of suicide prevention organizations. Not to cross over and become Freeper, but you know, we really ought to stay on his ass about that comment.

Jon certainly will. ;)

<---- goes back to comic to think of more rude references Cartoon Jon Stewart can make to McCain's suicide comment
