Senator McCain: My friend, the campaign staff wants you to stop using that "I said 'no' to the Bridge to Nowhere" line.
Sarah Palin: You're kidding.  That line gets the biggest applause.
McCain: Yes, my friend, but it's not exactly true.  You didn't real say "no," you kind of actively sought the money for the bridge, then you took back the state funds to build the bridge, then you kept the money Congress sent to Alaska to build the bridge and now you're spending all that money on other stuff.
Palin: I think that's too much to say in a speech.  I'll run out of breath.  I think I'll just stick to "I said 'no' to the Bridge to Nowhere."
McCain: But, my friend, it's not true.  Even Katie Couric says it's not true--
Palin: Yeah, so?  What about this whole "change" thing?  And "Obama's going to raise your taxes," and that bogus anti-corruption thing.  Do you think people have forgotten that you're a charter member of the "Keating Five"--
McCain: Shhh--what did I tell you about that?  The word "Keating" is not to be used.
Palin: What did that Savings and Loan deal cost the American taxpayer?  Like 50 billion dollars or something--
McCain: Okay okay. 
Palin: So I can keep saying, "I said 'no' to the Bridge to Nowhere?"
McCain: Yeah, sure.  What the heck.
Palin: Thanks, Poppy.
McCain: Don't call me that.
Palin: Keating, Keating, Keating, Keating--
McCain: Okay okay, call me Poppy.
Palin: Thanks, Poppy.
McCain: Boy, you know--you're a real barracuda.
Palin: Thanks.  You know what the difference is between a hockey mom and a barracuda?
McCain: I think I heard that one already.  I gotta take a nap.  Excuse me.
