McCain Kills at Al Smith Dinner

Remember when John McCain used to be funny? Turns out that he still can be. Jonathan Martin reports that John McCain killed it at his speech at the Al Smith dinner last night. He began his speech with a "major announcement." "Yes, it's true, that this morning I dismissed my entire team of senior advisers … All of their positions will now be held by a man named Joe the plumber." Another gem included his prediction that at the "first sign of recovery [Obama] will suspend his campaign and fly immediately to Washington to address this crisis." One Republican in attendance said that if the funny McCain had campaigned all along, he would win the election. Obama, it should be noted, scored some laughs of his own during his speech, including his comment that "Barack is Swahili for 'that one.'"
