King: “You’re flying over the Pacific between nowhere and nowhere. There’s an attack on the United States. How much confidence do you have in Vice President [Sarah] Palin?”

McCain: “Total. … She has the instincts, she shares my world view. … She not only would take over, she would inspire Americans. That’s what I think she would do. She would unite the country in a time of crisis. … And, by the way, I don’t like this comment about me being dying.”

King: “I didn’t say dying. I said you’re over the Pacific.”

McCain: “Oh, excuse me.”

King: “Okay? You’re not dying. … You’re over the Pacific.”

McCain: “Okay. I’m over the Pacific.”

King: “God, that we don’t want.”
