On tonight's broadcast of ABC's "World News with Charles Gibson" reporter Ron Clairborne reiterated a popular term that liberal blogs often use to refer to Sen. John McCain (R- Ariz). The news story was on the fundraiser President Bush held for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee tonight. Clairborne stated in his report, "At every opportunity the Democrats label McCain "McSame," a virtual clone of George Bush. The strategy makes sense. Bush's approval ratings are at an all time low."

The only Democrats known for constantly calling Sen. McCain "McSame" are those who write in the progressive blogosphere. View video here.

Obambi as "Carter II", less the brains and wit of the original.

  I agree.  Every time

  I agree.  Every time they say McCain is Bush's third term we just say obama is carter's second term.

Good grief!

What would make sense is for "reporter" Clairbourne to actually report some news!
