Claire McCaskill's Spit

Claire McCaskill, Democrat senator from Missouri, is very devoted to her candidate, Barack Obama.

From Politico:

McCaskill was stepping out of her chair at the end of an MSNBC interview, and [Mitt] Romney was up next. She and a staffer unplugged her various wires, and she handed Romney the earpiece the guests use to hear the host.

"I spit on this before I put it in," she said to Romney, with a sweet smile.

UPDATE: Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom emails: "You should have seen what she did to the chair."

Is this a cute joke?

Is McCaskill being playful?

She didn't really spit on the earpiece. She's not that classless, is she?

Whether she did or not, the comment is crass.


But Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom's comeback is funny.
