He was very very gracious and funny...
McCain says he fired all of his campaign staff; "All of their positions will now be held by a man named Joe The Plumber."
Says that Joe Biden falsely claims that Joe The Plumber isn't rich enough trigger the Obama tax hike; "What they don't know is that Joe The Plumber recently signed a lucrative contract to handle all the work on all seven of their houses."
Says his pet name for Obama is "The One"; Obama's for McCain is "George Bush."
"I can't shake the feeling that some people here are voting for me. Nice to see you, Hillary."
Bill Clinton "has been hammering away with me with epithets like, "hero."
"It's going to be a long, long night at MSNBC if I manage to pull this thing off. I understand that Keith Olbermann has ordered up his very own Mission Accomplished banner. They can hang it up in his padded room"
"We know the press is really an independent-minded, civic-minded, non-partisan group, like ACORN."
A nice tribute to Obama at the end, saying that he can't "wish him luck," but he does "wish him well."
