John McCain
Oct. 8, 2008
"Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow
prisoners and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied
to my opponent."
—McCain, accidentally straying from the script during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
(He was supposed to say "fellow citizens"). For his part, McCain didn't seem to notice the verbal slip-up. Without skipping a beat, he went on to question Democratic rival Barack Obama's "clarity."
