[IWE] McCain says a bad word during the debate.

[D. Scott Katzer]

Several people have said (over the years) that one of the reasons why 
McCain seems to so strongly dislike Obama is that he feels that Barack 
stole his "Maverick" schtick.  There often does appear to be genuine 
disgust when he throws charges at him.

Anyway, here's a page with a short YouTube clip in which it appears that 
Obama's getting under his skin during the debate.

It sounds like "horseshit" to me, too (especially the 2nd time).

Others say he was saying "of course", but that doesn't make much sense 
to me.

Incidentally, it's not a big deal either way, except it shows that 
McCain can say the most ridiculous, offensive things about Obama 
(http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/07/mccains_new_line_on_obama.php) 
but if he's challenged about what he himself *actually said*, he 
apparently can't take it.

FWIW.

Cheers,
Scott.
