Well, if you were imagining things, I was imagining the same thing. I think it's safe to say he wasn't pleased with that reaction. Neither was I.


I saw the same thing, however as much as I like John McCain as a person he should have immediately stopped reading the teleprompter and addressed the situation like any average leader would have done. That's why (IMHO) he's not the elected president.

I believe he did... he paused, rolled his eyes and made the "quiet down" hand motion and it stopped fairly quickly. I think he handled it well.

Yeah, I guess he did get the riffraff to quiet down for the most part. After weeks of stirring them up with volatile rhetoric.

Although I did have an autistic fantasy of him grabbing the mic and yelling, "Cut out that booing or I'm gonna dive down there and crack some heads! Seriously, shut the hell up!"

That would have been cool.

That would have been awesome. More so if Palin had stepped in.... "Hey der in da back. The booin' isn't nice. Yoo shoulda learned dat in grade school."

I guess you're right.
