McCain took this one from That One!

McCain is truly funny and these were more than just jokes. Nothing more funny than truth. Best line: Bush. Best line delivery: ACORN. With this following his debate performance, Jack Cafferty might say that McCain's morphed into a person with multiple personality disorder.

McCain went first, announcing he had just fired his entire campaign staff and replaced them with Joe the Plumber, the Ohio entrepreneur who became a household name literally overnight after McCain invoked him in Wednesday's debate.

"Joe the Plumber recently signed a very lucrative contract with a wealthy couple to handle all the work on all seven of their houses," he added, alluding to his many homes around the United States.

-- On dubious voter registration cards: "In Florida, they even turned up an ACORN registration form that bore the name of one Mickey Mouse. We're checking the paw prints, although I might let that one go. I'm pretty sure the big rat's a Republican."

-- On his underdog status: "There are signs of hope, even in the most unexpected places, even in this room full of proud Manhattan Democrats. I can't shake that feeling that some people here are pulling for me. I'm delighted to see you here tonight, Hillary!"

-- On the way he referred to Obama in their second debate: "This campaign needed the common touch of a working man. After all, it began so long ago with the heralded arrival of a man known to Oprah Winfrey as 'the one.' Being a friend and colleague of Barack, I just called him "that one." He doesn't mind at all. In fact, he even has a pet name for me -- George Bush."

McCain, 72, concluded by putting rough-and-tumble campaign rhetoric on hold to salute Obama, 47, for being the first black presidential candidate from a major political party with a real stab at the White House.

"Senator Obama talks about making history, and he's made quite a bit of it already."

"There was a time when the mere invitation of an African-American citizen to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage and an insult in many quarters."

"Today, it's a world away from the crude and prideful bigotry of that time, and good riddance. I can't wish my opponent luck -- but I do wish him well."
