They Don't Call Him Mr. Straight Talk For Nothing

John McCain participated in a "Meet The Candidate" forum this morning in New Hampshire.

The event took place at Devine Millimet, a top-shelf New England law firm. The forum was co-sponsored by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce.

About 100 people attended the event. Most of them lawyers.

McCain opened his prepared remarks with a joke, "What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer?" he asked the crowd.

"One is a sucking bottom dweller and the other is a fish."

Of course we know McCain was only kidding.

And the white shoe crowd did to.

They cheered loudly.
