    John, you're skewering McCain today. LOL
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    LOL that was a good clip but my favorite is the one where McCain asks Obama about the "fine". Obama says no fine and McCain looks shocked totally amazed that Obama would dare give a direct and honest answer.

    Apparently McCain was left out of the loop. I wonder who on his campaign staff will get fired for leaving him out on the lerch like that. In my mind, that's where he lost the debate.

    Right now I wish the voting took place tomorrow. Seems hard to believe that things could get better for Democrats at this point. I'd like to see a press for 60 democratic senators.

    Nor very Presidential... is this the guy who we want representing us overseas... I for one don't thing so!
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    MSNBC just ran a clip of McCain saying "ZERO?" concerning fines. It was by far the best clip of McCain's weird and uncontrollable facial expressions!

    WalNUTS!
  • therepguy · 1 year ago
    On MSNBC a McCain PR guy just said that McCain $5,000.00 tax credit for healthcare would allow every American to buy the healthcare they deserve... I guess th average Joe does'nt deserve much!

    LOL Tucker Bounds needs to pack his suitcase and slink back to obscurity. He gets his ass whipped almost every time he opens his mouth.

    MCain keeps repeating that $5,000 figure as if it's what he intends to give every INDIVIDUAL. No, that's his idea of a FAMILY tax credit. For an individual it's a measly $2,500.00. He also doesn't mention that you get the credit when you file your tax return. To buy the insurance you have to pay up-front. Who has that kind of cash up-front if you're not married to a beer heiress?

    I hope Jed makes an ad called "The faces of John McCain". Last night's debate captured all of McCain's sarcastic, angry and stupid eye rolling and smirks.

    Supposedly Bill Press has them all strung together on his website under VIDEOS....haven't checked it myself.

    Gee, I wonder how Bush and company are going to explain this??? Perhaps we just need another $700 billion thrown at it. Didn't Mac say last night that we shouldn't keep throwing money at a bad problem. AIG execs are probably eating pheasant under glass and planning their next trip...
  • LeeFromHamburgNY · 1 year ago
    So funny... This should be something shown by Jay Leno!!!

    even with McCain's 72 years of experience, the young groundhog does it better.

    It's SOME kind of scared rodent.
  • OleHippieChick · 1 year ago
    LULZ! McHamster is the most painfully hilarious thing I've seen this week.
  • bluestockton · 1 year ago
    Speaking of rodents...the constant references to Joe the Plumber reminded me of McCain's financial tutor, Phil Gramm. When he was in Congress, Gramm that claimed he put every bill to "the Dicky Flatt test," and if it wasn't good for Dicky Flatt, a friend of his from Texas, he wasn't going to vote for it.

    I used to wonder who Flatt was, and why Gramm should always give Flatt what he wanted, no matter what his 300 million fellow Americans might want. Some reporter finally wondered that too, and looked him up. Flatt was the owner of a small printshop and while he was reliably conservative, he wasn't quite as anti-government as Gramm claimed to be. He said 70% of his business came from government agencies.

    Joe the Plumber is the Dicky Flatt of 2008, a blank canvas on which a candidate can project his own biases.

    After last night’s debate (with apologies to Budd Schulberg’s On the Waterfront):

    Act III, Scene 6 - PLACING THE BLAME

    Int. Hofstra University Debate Hall – Night

    Deserted. Bob Scheiffer is gone. The people and media types are gone.
    Barack and Michelle are gone. Cindy McCain is gone. In a darkened dressing room, only George Bush and John McCain remain. Tension and the threat of violence in the air.

    Bush
    Look, kid, er, old man, I - how much you weigh, John?
    When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds
    you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn,
    and that skunk you got for a campaign manager, he brought
    you along too fast.

    McCain
    It wasn't him, George, it was you. Remember that night
    in the Senate you came down to my dressing room and you
    said, "Kid, er, old man, this ain't your night. The country’s
    going for the price on Obama." You remember that? "This
    ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Obama apart!
    So what happens? He gets the title shot on January 20th
    outdoors in D.C. and what do I get? A one-way ticket
    to Palooka-ville! You was my President, George, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just
    a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.

    Bush
    Oh I had some bets down for you. You married that beer
    heiress. You saw some money.

    McCain
    You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a
    contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which
    is what I am, let's face it. It was you, George.
