    Pretty funny.

    They should switch the headline around tho, so Goofus is over McCrazy's photo and Gallant's over Obama's.

    All this dumping on Michelle Obama by Cindy McCain. Try this on to measure the difference in character between these two women.

    "Our marriage started out on a tissue of lies." Cindy McCain

    Watch Cindy tell Jay Leno how she and John McCaln lied to each other about their ages and only found out the truth much later when it showed up on the marriage license. And she thinks that's funny!!

    Yes. In fact, if Goofus is McCain and Gallant is Obama, shouldn't it be Gallant Loves America, Goofus Not So Much?

    Oh right the title of the post was screwed up, sorry about that, and thanks,corrected it
  • notanumber · 1 year ago
    Still screwed up.

    Goofus is always pictured on the left and then the headline would be correct.

    Now you have Goofus over Obama's picture.

    OT:

    Ah Rahmbo:


    Dear Senator McCain,

    I read with great interest your recent decision to change your position and support plans to lift the long-standing ban on offshore oil drilling. Your new stance on this important issue raises critical questions about your position on drilling for oil and natural gas in the Great Lakes.

    The Great Lakes are not just a natural treasure; the Great Lakes are the economic engine that drives the Midwest, the source of drinking water for more than 30 million Americans and the site of recreational opportunities for millions of families. States bordering the Great Lakes include:

    Illinois

    Indiana

    Michigan

    Minnesota

    New York

    Ohio

    Pennsylvania

    Wisconsin

    As you are undoubtedly aware, in 2005 a bipartisan majority in Congress enacted a permanent ban on drilling for oil and gas in the Great Lakes. Drilling in the Great Lakes would adversely affect millions of Americans in the eight states that border these lakes, further endanger the ecological web and threaten the beauty of our shores.

    Given your recent decision to support offshore oil drilling I am now increasingly concerned about whether you would support lifting this ban and ending the prohibition on drilling for oil and gas in the Great Lakes.

    As a leader of the Great Lakes Task Force and a member of Congress who has the honor of representing the City of Chicago, home to nearly 3 million people who depend upon Lake Michigan for drinking water, recreation, and commerce, I urge you to clarify your position on this matter. Seeing as you signed a pledge to preserve and restore the Great Lakes during your primary campaign, I hope your newfound stance on offshore drilling will not be followed by support for drilling in the Great Lakes.

    I look forward to your prompt reply.

    Sincerely,

    Rahm Emanuel

    Chairman, House Democratic Caucus

    Member, Great Lakes Task Force

    Dear Rahm Emanuel,

    Just because you occasionally do something right does not mean we forgive your DLC coup d'etat of the Democratic Party, which has brought us such catastrophe.

    I look forward to your prompt removal from Congress.

    Sincerely,

    Mirth

    what do I win?
  • Bludevlsadvocate · 1 year ago
    I like gotcha politics as much as the next guy, but all this harping on Grampy McSame's "love America" comments seem...well...a bit Republican to me. It is no more than playing the same game as the right wing is trying to do with Michelle.

    However, it is hard to refrain from hitting the idiot when he puts the stick right in your hand.......
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    i disagree with you.

    pointing out the hypocrisy is valid. and it also points up how stupid and overblown the whole thing has been over what Michelle said.

    playing the same game as the republicans would involve Obama standing up NOW and saying, "I can tell you this, my friends, if I'd been in John McCain's shoes, I'd have loved my country from the day i was born. I wouldn't have had to wait to become a POW to start loving my country."
  • Bludevlsadvocate · 1 year ago
    You are right on both points, tls.

    But I still say to bring it up OVER AND OVER AND OVER is boring and looks the crawler on Faux News.
  • red_dwarf · 1 year ago
    I said this earlier today, but let me repeat it here. Its called "BIGOTRY". It's the GOP modus operandi - so McBush needs to be called out on it when it happens.

    What's the latest on Obama's stance on the FISA cave-in bill by Hoyer and Pelosi? Since he's our new leader shouldn't he be raising hell right about now? After all, silence is deafening.
  • mirth · 1 year ago
    FUCK!

    Obama is having his first press conference and CNN via Wolfie cuts him off after only a couple of questions.
  • dolcissimo1 · 1 year ago
    Did John McCain love his country before or after he spent 5 years as a POW? Did John Kerry throw his ribbons or his medals? We're better than this.

    Except when upholding the Constitution concerning domestic spying is concerned, then they are both Goofus.

    I love the Goofus and Gallant theme - is this the beginning of a series?
