AMERICAblog: McCain's Latin American experience includes 'dating' a Latin American in the 1950s

    Well we are pretty
    HOT!
  • Rufus · 1 year ago
    Sex with a hot Latin babe. Sigh, those were the days.

    Oh, Drudge Report has a VP debate poll -- Sarah wins 70 to 28. You might want to stop by and give a vote for --- oh, I don't know -- Biden?

    Sorry, if I visit drudge's site it will make him money. Who cares about his poll. These polls mean nothing. They are fodder for the freepers.

    Sometimes things are missed because they are not what we are looking for. Everyone was trying to find a Palin flub. Something struck me as odd, so I watched the debate again. This wasn't a Palin flub, BUT I think it was every bit as bad as a flub. Maybe it is just me, but at the end of the question she spoke without any problem and very quickly. It indicated 2 things to me.

    First, it really highlighted her struggling with the questions in the debate.
    And second, the speed at which she talked really indicated she wanted off this question.
    Even if I am wrong about her wanting to get away from this question, it still indicated how fluently she spoke when she knew what she was saying compared to her answers in the debate.

    PALIN: "Can we talk about Afghanistan real quick, also, though?".

    You must watch the video, the transcript does not do it justice.


    I watched it again & now I remember what caught my eye. It was her verbiage and struggling with the question about nuclear weapons and how fast & fluent she spoke at the end when she knew what she wanted to say, "Can we talk about Afghanistan real quick, also, though?".

    Watch it and see if it is just me.

    The question and her answer is at 54:46 to 55:45.

    Can an old, grainy, black and white sex tape be far behind? :-)

    In betamax!
  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    That's ok, John, I'm sure he can't get his betamax to stop blinking so he's probably never seen it either...
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    did mcsame and Bob Crane double-date?
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    WOW! I didn't realize how much foreign policy experience I had!

    let's see... English, German, Polish, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Brazilian, Venezualian...

    Maybe I should run for prez?

    egad.

    "My sweet coconut"???

    What about the "McCain Secret" revealed by Megan McCain--"Dad dated a stripper"--as she stated on one of the morning talkers?

    The "former South American model" McCain dated is now 77 and wrinkled as a prune (a pic of her was on CNN the other day).
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    Actually, she looks great for not having a Full Monty facelift (unlike a certain anorexic bottle-blonde clotheshorse I can think of). And even though she's 5 years older than McCain, she has more youthful zest for life than her shortarse Yanqui ex-flame.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    What does Cindy think of this moronic talking point?
  • OlderButWiser · 1 year ago
    Wonder how many of Palin's "fans" have taken up winking now? Back at ya...

    Tina ought to have a lot of fun with that.
  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    I told my partner that last night, you SO know that Tina is going to be winking and smiling and saying 'joe six pack' and 'hockey mom'...it ought to be fun. Hopefully they can use at least one of her real answers, we know they make for great comedy...
  • DAB · 1 year ago
    If I were Latin America, I'd be nervous that this indicates what he plans to do to the region. And, no, I wasn't thinking of "date."
  • rja4429 · 1 year ago
    More like date rape!
  • Happy_Housewife · 1 year ago
    Off topic, but isn't today the day that the Palin's are supposed to release their financial records? I'm dying to know how much money Todd and Sarah "middle class" actually have.
  • OlderButWiser · 1 year ago
    Well, there was mention of over a million in "real estate holdings" in Alaska this morning, but no mention of the release itself. But wait--you're still "middle class" until you reach $5 million, according to McBush.
  • John Aravosis · 1 year ago
  • DAB · 1 year ago
    Also off-topic, but isn't today the day Joe Biden's son deploys? (I'd heard it was supposed to be the day after the VP debate.) I haven't seen any coverage of that, although I saw plenty when Palin's son went off to war.
  • OlderButWiser · 1 year ago
    Yes, there was a deployment ceremony at Dover, DE today.
  • blipsman · 1 year ago
    Wow, I guess I'm a Middle East expert because my wife is Israeli!
  • OlderButWiser · 1 year ago
    Hey, and I'm a Mexican expert--having been to Tijuana a couple of times back in the early 60s, as well as expert on Argentina, having dated an Argentine who took me to Disneyland, too. Have also been to Canada, so I'm as much of an expert on foreign affairs as Palin, since I've been to at least 2 foreign countries before she was even born.
  • blipsman · 1 year ago
    Too bad she didn't take you to Disney World instead -- had you gone to Epcot, you'd be an expert on a dozen or so more countries!
  • OlderButWiser · 1 year ago
    It was a he, and I was being snarky, of course...

    Speaking of communication difficulty:
    Okay, this is why off topic, but too funny not to share.
    Funniest commercial ever:

  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    okay... that IS hilarious!

    thank the flying spaghetti monster that I have headphones in the office :-)
  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    OH MY GOD! THAT was hysterical!!!! I wasn't sure what to expect when it started, and I am still cracking up...

    Thanks!! :-)
  • Fireblazes(CheetohsandCatfood) · 1 year ago
    I know lots of people that had a Brazilian wax job. Because you couldn't see the forest for the trees. Just like the Republicans.
    I think I shall start calling John McCain's lies a Brazilian wax job.
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    chimpy heard that mcsame dated a Brazilian... he said "nah, cindy's only worth 100 mil or so... not even close to a brazilian."
  • Fireblazes(CheetohsandCatfood) · 1 year ago
    {sound of belly laughter and applause}
  • petefitSD · 1 year ago
    awesome....thanks for the fri afternoon laugh
  • RevDrBillyBob · 1 year ago
    John writes: ... "Yes, well, I've "dated" a Brazilian too. Does that make me a Latin America expert? " Well, as a matter of fact, the answer is YES. Update: if you've looked at the night sky and seen stars, you are also qualified as a astronaut.
  • notanumber · 1 year ago
    HE DATED THE BRAZILIAN WHILE HE WAS MARRIED!!!

    Fact! Look it up.
  • petefitSD · 1 year ago
    if that's all it takes for foreign affairs experience then I have a buddy in nyc who I want to nominate for McSame's secretary of state;
    he has a thing for 'international women' and he's shagged a variety of foreign beauties from Lithuania to the Dominican Republic--according to the McCain statement he's right up there with McGeorge Bundy or Allen Foster Dulles as an international statesmen

    Following the Palin/McCain logic I could be the assistant sec of state for my buddy--I'm married to a woman from AK and currently live in SoCal...when I visit the in-laws I can see Russia and when I'm driving down the freeway--Mexico

    this is surreal

    If you haven't, read the Rolling Stone McCain profile in the new issue

    http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/mak...

    He meets a former POW who's attending a different military school but both schools sponsor a trip abroad. Here's what McCain says about choosing to go to Rio (the other POW chose the Middle East):

    "Why? Where are you going to, John?"

    "Oh, I'm going to Rio."

    "What the hell are you going to Rio for?"

    McCain, a married father of three, shrugs.

    "I got a better chance of getting laid."
  • Kcunac · 1 year ago
    Well, I've had a Brazilian, so I guess that makes me either Surgeon General or Secretary of War.
  • lilybart · 1 year ago
    OK, that was ROFL!!!

    I was going to say that he has learned from Palin, and dating a foreigner is even better than seeing a foreign country from your house. (which isnt even true)
  • moron · 1 year ago
    When it's heterosexual, "dating" doesn't go in quotes.

    Show some respect!

    About Latin American Expertise....

    ... This post reminded me of an American-made cartoon I saw when I was living in BRAZIL! Many years ago.

    It was a Tarzan cartoon, where Tarzan (Africa) dives into the Amazon River (Brazil), and meets a tribe of Aztecs (Mexico) who live at the other side of the river.

    Talk about geography expertise!!!!

    Hey! I'm Brazilian.... maybe I should run for president of vice! If it weren't only for that pesky citizenship thang....
