John McCain, Plantation Owner

On the occasion of the biggest one-day drop ever in the Dow, here's a bit of humor from the Rude Pundit on McCain's debate performance Friday night:

John McCain looked like nothing so much as a plantation owner just after the end of the Civil War forced to have a conversation with one of his freed slaves. There's no way he was gonna look that nigger in the eye and allow him to think they're equals. Used to be you could lynch a darkie for addressing a white man by his first name. Now, they think they can talk to you like they're humans.
