This urban cowboy needs to work on his Maverick impersonations.
Then again, it’s hard to play a cowboy when you’re the most liberal member of the senate.

Michael Goldfarb at McCain HQ reported today on big talking Gunsmoke Obama:
Barack Obama appeared at a fundraiser in Philadelphia last night where he delivered the following remark:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
A couple thoughts from McCain HQ on this. First, Barack Obama has a long track record as a proponent of stringent gun-control regulations–to the point that a questionnaire filled out by his staff, and with the candidate’s handwriting on it, stated that Obama favored a ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of handguns. Can we assume that Senator Obama now opposes efforts to ban the possession of handguns?
Second, would Obama be carrying a concealed weapon to this fight? Will he have a permit?
Also, was his gun purchaced within his 5 mile zone from a school?
Since Obama insists on his website that he only supports the use guns for the purposes of hunting and target shooting, does Senator McCain fall into the category of “big game” or “clay pigeon”?
Finally, does this mean that the candidate of hope and change is bitter?… Since he’s now “clinging to his gun or religion and has antipathy to people who aren’t like him?”
UPDATE: Beto Ochoa puts this news to song–
