This election cannot end soon enough. (Getting a lil' tense out there.)

Made me chuckle, but... wow. (If Kerry was merely trying to say McCain is indecisive, it's a very clever accidental joke. Kerry is a little humor impaired, so I can imagine it being a coincidental double-entendre.)
Kerry tried to relay to the audience what it is like to face the press corps' inquiries.

"I don't know if any of you know what it's like. I do, obviously," he said. "I've been asked all of those brilliant questions that were repeated this year."

"Barack got asked the famous boxers or briefs question," Kerry went on. "I was tempted to say commando."

The senator said Obama successfully parried that question but that John McCain, the GOP nominee, had some problems.

"Then they asked McCain and McCain said, ‘Depends,'" Kerry said to lots of laughter from the crowd.

5. Not cool.
I guess I can give anyone a pass for one obliquely ageist joke, since I believe McCain himself has made a few cracks about his age.

I wouldn't want our Democratic leaders making a habit of it, however, and this little jest is a bit offensive.
