Bush and McCriminal with a couple of Secret Service on for a ride. What arrogance with the little sign--#41. Looks like Johnny has a pen in his left hand like Bob Dole. He is morphing into another person. He doesn't remember what he said a minute before and would lick a dead dog's ass to be President. If this is truly the best the GOP can offer they deserve to be all thrown out on the street. i think however a grander scheme is going on they are going to throw McCain to the wolves, no one in the GOP really likes him, they see him as a buffoon so let him burn himself at the stake. They savage Obama and when he wins they say they fought the good fight. meanwhile their whole effort will be to rebuild, clean out the party a little and move on. They know it is a long battle to get all of our money and they live to fight another day. Meanwhile McCriminal has retreated to one of his 9 or 10 houses and chases Formica Face around the kitchen a few times a day.

OMFG...you have to be a gay man with "Formica Face"....just too delish. The perfect joke for Ms Thang Cindy Rodeo Queen McCain...."if that girl has another face lift, she'll have a beard." Thank you, Patsy Stone, on AbFab

Every time I see Miss Thang McSame I hear that song from "A Chorus Line"...

Tits and ass....

And if you are str8, you'd fit in very well at one of our Candlelight Suppers. (Thank you Hyacynthe!)

Not gay, but have many, many friends who are. Born in Canada with parents who would accept no discrimination on race or sexual preference something i passed to my kids. Where is the supper I will be there.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

Good for you Lynchie! If only more Americans would realize that we are who
we are....and of course that we throw fabulous parties and our homes are
very tastefully decorated. Now let's see...Dinner in Dallas...how about
Labor Day weekend???? All A-bloggers invited.

lynchie · 1 year ago

Actually that might work. I judge people on how they act not on who or what they are. Without getting on a soapbox Canadians seem less judgemental perhaps because they have always allowed everyone moving to Canada to retain their identity. America decided to do the whole fear thing. We as a people have been trained to fear gays, blacks, mexicans, etc., etc. I think if we just try to be kind to each other we could accomplish a lot. We are now the "hate" generation, with no tolerance and that ugly aggressive nature exhibited by our ass hole of a President. I will chat at you regarding Labor Day.

Okay this will get the ire of anyone on here in the South or here in
Texas...but...I was shocked when I moved here ten years ago at how much
ignorance there is. As I began to meet people, I could not believe how
little they knew about the arts, politics, history, etc. in fact to this day
I have to just bite my cheek in social situations because the minute I refer
to something other than TV or film at the Cinema-One-Too-Many, they start
making fun of the Yankee "intellectual". And gradually you learn to keep
your mouth shut. After you live here a while you also begin to realize just
how wretched the schools here are. And not just the public schools. I
recently met a guy who teaches history at one of Dallas' very top private
academies with a fairly good reputation. I was dumbfounded to listen to him
speak about things like "Dancing with the Stars"..."American Idol"...shows I
never watch. He gets all his news from MSM TV. Has not bothered to read any
blogs. It was appalling. Another time I met a PROFESSOR...yes a full
PROFESSOR from SMU (which has had a good rep here till this Dubbya library
shit) and was shocked to find out that he, too, is politically totally
unaware of many things. Just incredible how these people got university
posts. And they take pride in this sort of pig wallowing in shit
anti-intellectual stuff. I am definitely a fish out of water here. But I
love my job here and the cost of housing is so cheap, it would be awful to
have to move back to NYC or Boston now. You do find a few folks down here
who can discuss things on a high level but you really have to look hard.
Okay now I duck for cover....

lynchie · 1 year ago

I agree totally. There is no interest in the Arts in this country. I had to fight tooth and nail with local board of education to keep music class active in middle school. Great teacher taught my kids how to play sax, clarinet and piano. They had a ton of money for wrestling and football but none to support less violent activities. Having a degree seems to be the thing everyone is measured by, whether they learned anything or not is irrelevant. I love spirited discussions and will often take the least liked side just to stimulate everyone. My wife of 30 years has always loved the debate. I simply leave parties if Idol or Survivior or any other clap trap is brought up. I get up and go home. We have lived 22 years in the U.S. became citizens and live north of Pittsburgh. I am appalled to say how many redneck racists live here and trust me I love to turn the screws every chance I get. I bought a bumper sticker a few years ago that said "Do yourself a favor--Hug a Man today". That set the boys at the Hardware store off to another planet. I about pissed myself. Keep the faith, stick to the Blogs surround yourself with kind people who actually read and understand what they read.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

I used to teach music. I know about budget cuts.

Redneck bigots seem to thrive better in small towns and this is very true
here in Texas as well. Dallas and Houston and even more in Austin are pretty
liberal "on the surface"...but underneath they will pull the McSame lever
and tell the exit pollsters they voted Obama. I do run into some really far
lefties like me. But that is mostly in the gayborhood.

lynchie · 1 year ago

I have been a life long member of the LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA. I will pull my card out as a credit card at the hardware store and watch the right wing racists go apeshit. When i get home still laughing my wife knows exactly what I have been up to. The hatred is right below the surface and McCriminal will appeal to that group every day of the week.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

Okay I love to tell this story...forgive me Abloggers as I've told it here
before but it's been a year or more. John A...don't ban me for being so
OT...

About ten years ago, in Fort Worth, which is a fairly diversity-accepting
city, a buddy of mine and I were having dinner downtown in a famous
steakhouse...no names to protect the innocent. We were dressed in full
cowboy but authentic, not cowboy drag, as we were heading out to the CW
dance gay bar after dinner. We really looked authentic Texas, not some gay
version of cowboy. We were having a smart cocktail before our steaks
arrived. We were discussing sports...I kid you not....football mostly and we
were NOT discussing the Dallas Cowboys' butts in spandex...we were
discussing their season and how Jerry Jones as screwed up the team but
good...yes queers do know football...

Well this 400 pound ugly woman comes up to the table and waves a white
laminated card over her head in some kinda trance like Pentacostal blah blah
thing, and quoted Leviticus 19...yup the butt fucking passage...in a real
loud voice. My buddy began to smoke out of his ears and turn magenta. I told
him to be quiet and I would deal with her. (Her mousy little husband, who
was mortified with embarrassment, stood by trying to crawl under the
napkins.)

I stood up, folded my napkin on my seat, and asked to read her little Bible
card. And this is what I said (the other dining guests were now attentive
and giggling.)

"Madam...this is a very poor translation of the Torah. The only way to
really know your scriptures is if you are fluent in Hebrew, Aramaic,
classical Greek, and fifteen other dead middle eastern tongues. Now let me
help you with this. The word in Hebrew for "abomination", in this book of
Leviticus, is "SCHICKSA". Up in the New York City, the word schicksa can be
used to describe a Gentile woman. And I assume, since you do not read
Hebrew, you are a Gentile woman...so in fact, my dear madam, you, too are an
abomination." (The audience begins to applaud). She continued her trance
blah blahs.

"Now I do not know how in hell you figured out that we are homosexuals,
pansies, fairies, queers and faggots, but you are quite correct. In fact we
are both very good sodomites. And after we finish our steaks, I plan to take
this gentleman back to my house and sodomize him at least twice tonight and
then he shall sodomize me at least twice maybe three times, if I am lucky,
before we take showers and then begin this once again. (No there were no
kids in this restaurant...the audience is pissing themselves at this point.)

"Now be on your way and stop annoying the clientele of this fine
establishment."

By now the manager was there and was ushering them out. He was furious.

He picked up our tab.

I'd give anything to get a glimpse into the thoughts of Petraeus.

GrMtGirl · 1 year ago

My only hope is that in private he is a General wiht high intelligence capable of giving honest non political evaluations rather than a "career ladder climber" !

naschkatzehussein · 1 year ago

In other photos of Obama and Petraeus together on this trip, they appear to be very comfortable with one another, smiling, arm around a shoulder. Truth be known, I'd love to know what Petraeus really thinks about McCain. It's probably very similar to what Wesley Clark thinks.

ron071 · 1 year ago

The crucial question for America is EXACTLY WHO is in charge of making American foreign policy? Is it the President and the StateDepartment or is it the Pentagon and the generals? The past 8 years of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Pearl/Wolfowitz have been years of perversion and separation of the real functions of government from those of politicians undermining our constitution. That is what Bush will leave as a legacy.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

My partner served in the Air Force. Last night he told me that when a person of the military talks politics, there is jail time involved. Over and out. End of discussion. It is THAT simple.

"I listen to Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins while writing my alimony checks to Carol"-John McCain

osage · 1 year ago

McCain’s grandfather and father were Admirals. He got into Annapolis because he was an Admiral’s kid. He was a child of privilege. And how did he honor the gift and family tradition of attending Annapolis? He graduated 894th in a class of 899 cadets. I doubt that most people recognize the significance of an Admiral’s kid finishing in the bottom one percentile of his class. McCain was either too stupid to deserve being accepted at Annapolis or he was disgracefully unappreciative of the privilege of attending Annapolis. Can you imagine the “pride” his father felt when he was either too dumb to earn even marginally acceptable grades or he felt too entitled and protected to even feel the need to try and earn acceptable grades? In either case, McCain clearly didn’t deserve to be at Annapolis and or he certainly didn’t work as hard as he could have to try and honor his grandfather's and father's legacies. McCain had to be either incorrigibly stupid or insufferably lazy for 895 cadets to outperform him in a class of 899. McCain didn’t just perform poorly; he was undeniably one of the absolute worst students in his class! And now he wants to be president. Only a Republican could be as book stupid and or as irresponsibly arrogant as John McCain is and win his party’s nomination for the presidency. Now let’s compare his academic achievements and or his work ethic to a poor fatherless black kid raised by his white grandparents who had no privileges whatsoever and worked his behind off to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. OK, so there is no comparison.

naschkatzehussein · 1 year ago

Believe it or not, McCain thinks there is some sort of cachet to his dismal record at Annapolis. It's part of his maverick mystique. You know, the myth of the late bloomer who did poorly in school but turned out to be a military genius.

bluestockton · 1 year ago

I wonder if he figured that as long as he was that close to the bottom, he might as well try to be the goat. At West Point and Annapolis, the grad who finishes at the bottom of his or her class is called the "goat," and collects $1 from each of the other grads. With hundreds of grads in every class, it adds up. The downside is that when the country is at war, the goat may not live long enough to spend it because goathood is a sure ticket to the front line.

osage · 1 year ago

I don't believe McCain "believes" that his dismal performance at Annapolis legitimately adds to his self-deluding"mystique". I believe it's a desperately transparent attempt to imply that he's actually smarter and or more responsible than his lack of academic performance and or effort at Annapolis indicates he is. It's kinda like George W. Bush wearing a flightsuit to imply he's a warrior when during his senior year of high school he was a cheerleader. Some guys never get over having fathers who were more capable and respected than they were. Overcompensation is a common trait of insecure males with unconscious feelings of inadequacy.

lynchie · 1 year ago

He was actually in the bottom 1/2 of 1 percent (.005). Yeah I want him as President, he is wrong 99.5% of the time. With his finger anywhere near the trigger he will hopefully push the elevator button not the launch button.

Does the "Property of #41 Hands Off!" sign refer to McCain?
He can have him.
