Let's see, so far McCain and his minions have questioned Obama's character, his multi-cultural background, his patriotism, called him an elitist, arrogant (which David Gergen pointed out is code for 'uppity')and hinted that he is the anti-Christ. And the MSM, with the exception of Gergen, hasn't seemed to notice.
So when does that campaign high road start, or did McCain miss the turnoff?

If the system failed, then the people hired are a result of the failed system. I hope Obama's AG makes everyone reapply - good way to root out the moles, since I have no doubt they've been breaking the law every day for however long they've been there.

But, but Mulkasey says the shame is punishment enough. Oh, wait, Republicans don't know what shame is.

Every woman knows what 'relax and enjoy it' refers to. Lieberman is a pig.

Only proving once more that America is still a racist country and Republicans are still racist scum.

How about something on the order of:
I used to make my living writing jokes. I even made jokes about politics. But with (housing crisis, banking crisis, inflation, cost of gasoline, 4,000+ dead soldiers, destruction of the rule of law - fill in the blank) nobody is laughing anymore. Now I'm running for the US Senate because Norm Coleman and his party have refused to solve these problems. It's time for a change, in America and in Washington."
Huh, not bad, maybe Al will hire me.
