Why the hell is he talking like that? :shrug:

On edit: JUST TO BE CLEAR .... I am NOT knocking Mr. Rogers. I LOVED him!!! I'm knocking McCain because his delivery sounds like something you would hear on a children's show, NOT on the political stage. It's creepy.

4. I'm not ... I used to love Mr. Rogers!
I'm knocking McCain ... he has that Mr. Rogers-type quality to his voice. It's like he's reading a story to children. It's very odd.

7. I wasn't trying to
:hi:

All I meant was that McCain's delivery would sound more appropriate on a children's show. It sounds like a bedtime story, LOL!

Mr. Rogers was much more engaging. Though McCain does seem to like the land of make believe.

12. It is a little known fact that Mr. Rodgers led the coup that installed King Friday.
Formerly, it was run by President July, but Rodgers invaded and deposed the president on some trumped up tale about "weapons of magical destruction".
