Begala's on stage doing a political stand-up routine -- and he's good at it. "I've got a soft spot for McCain, he's a friend of the family. Went to school with my great-grandfather." "McCain's been married more often than Rudy's been hunting. It's three to two!" "Our friends on the other side, they have nothing to offer us but fear itself." "On health care, the worry with Democrats is Mark Twain's old maxim. A cat that sits on a hot stove will never sit on a hot stove again. But he'll never sit on a cold one, either."
