McCain's Worst Moment
This was probably McCain's worst moment and might have cost him the election. Whether he intended it or not, "that one" is a phrase used by racists when referring to a Black person. It turns them into a non-human, material object. It was demeaning, condescending, low class, and unworthy of a future president.
Zorro (Spanish for Fox, and a by-word for cunning or devious) is the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega, a fictional nobleman and master swordsman living in Spanish and Mexican-era California. He defends the people of the land against tyrannical governors and other villains, and is not only much too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to be caught, but delights in publicly humiliating those same foes, while riding on his horse Tornado.
