'That One'
This website called ThatOne08 is another addition to the wordplay parade that is stomping right across the USA election campaign. If I wasn't so tired I think I'd like to hold forth on McCain's creepy reference to Barak Obama. I can't recall anyone, even somebody trying to be really rude, call another person 'that one'.

so mccain is either really angry -- or just pretending to be angry. does he really mean it? or is he attempting a simulation of emotion? I don't think he really knows. that's why it's so unsatisfying. we don't just want actors, we want good actors. otherwise, we just feel angry back at mccain. at least with sarah palin, the insults and hypocrisy are 100% genuine.that's why she makes great theater on tv, and even tina fey gets it. but in the end, they both just make 'that one' seem cooler and calmer. roll on nov 4...
- the phrase is stark plain derogatory. I think he's every bit as theatrical as Palin (check out his eyes on the last presidential debate), but simply less sexy. The fact that he's taken seriously at all is bizarre: after all his campaign chose Palin in the first place.
