Say WHAT?!?

Watch this video of last night's debate and see if you think that, at about 4:30 into it, after Obama has brought McCain's recent Spain faux pas, McCain twice uses the words "horse shit."

I kinda think he does. I remember hearing this last night, but all I heard last night was a kind of -rsh sound, that sounded like "err-shuh" or something. I definitely did wonder last night what McCain was saying. My thought at the time was that he was saying "of course" in a mocking and ironic way, although that didn't seem quite right to me.

But watching this it really does sound like he said "horse shit." If so, what the hell was he thinking? And does this have the potential to mushroom into an official Thing? Could it be the Al Gore's sighs of 2008? Meme watch!
