Republican presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump said Sunday that increasing CEO pay is a total and complete joke but that he can t do anything to change it. It does bug me.

Her distaste was enough that aides even postedher comment below rejecting the idea on her website Tuesday afternoon: During nearly five years of war in Iraq, the President has failed to learn the lesson that war should require shared sacrifice.

Ever hear that joke about waterboarding How about the one about killing Iranians And why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly If you aren t familiar with those witty japes, then you ve missed out on John McCain s lighter side. Rooted in a time before there was political correctness, and before there was the South Park backlash against political correctness, McCain s wisecracking persona is cutting at times, self-deprecating at others, and always amused by the political process swirling around him. Even in his pursuit of the White House, the candidate has - sometimes to the dismay of his handlers - managed to keep his sense of humor.
