John McCain’s a Maoist too, OH NOESSSSSSS!

“You know Michael, in the words of Chairman Mao, it’s always darkest before it’s totally black…” – John McCain (The Weekly Standard) http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2007/07/mccain_blogger_call.asp

“In the words of Chairman Mao, it’s always darkest before it’s black,” McCain cracked. He said this while surrounded by a crush of perhaps 30 or 40 reporters”(The New Republic) http://bit.ly/1P5lMn

“”I think we had some difficulties and righted the ship,” McCain told Letterman. “For a while there, I was reminded of the words of Chairman Mao, who said it’s always darkest before it’s totally black.” (NPR) http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89511940
