(CNN) – John McCain issued a promise Tuesday that may cause a bit of unrest with a broad swath of voters:
He'll veto every single beer?
In a slip of the tongue while railing against excessive earmarks at the National Small Business Summit in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee inadvertently pledged to veto the popular alcoholic beverage. (Watch McCain's comments)
I will use the veto as needed. I will veto every single beer — bill with earmarks," he said, as rumblings from the crowd could be heard. "And every single bill that we have come across my desk I will make them famous. I will veto them, you will know their names."
I think we finally have a new meme to replace Bush's "nucular" slip.
"It's you Americans. There's something about nipples you hate. If this were Germany, we'd be romping around naked on the stage here."
Why would anyone take any of McCain's high-minded pronouncements seriously, even if he wasn't flubbing them? This is a guy who found a loophole to get around his OWN campaign finance law.

If you're referring to using Cindy McCain's jet, he didn't just find the loophole, he wrote it into the law knowing that he'd be exploiting it a few years later.
McCain's 'Straight Talk Express' lost the wheels years ago.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
Is he that goddamn stupid? Doesn't military housing (or a similar necessity) get paid for through earmarks? Is he going to veto that?
Jackass...

I believe he is referring to McCain attempting to use his future public financing as collateral to obtain a privately-funded loan to his campaign.

Don't you mean nukular? I really, really can't stand it when anyone mispronounces that word. It's so fucking simple, goddammit.

Im sure the satirists and comedians are salivating at the thought of him winning the next election.

Once McCain gets turned into a laughingstock, he's finished. Looks like he's already contributing to the process himself. How obliging of him...

The thing McCain needs to realise is that Bush was able to get away with acting like a downright moron because he was running against 2x4s in suits. McCain doesn't have that luxury.
