    Hmmm....just wondering who knocked a point off me for my positive remarks about Cliff...(14 minutes ago) hmmmmm...gee, I wonder who could have done that.....hmmmm....
  • Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago
    Cliff Rocks.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago

    McCain has a potty mouth and an uncontrollable temper. He would be a GREAT Preznit, wouldn't he. He would tell Putin to fuck off and then push the button.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    Gotta love the Huggy Bear photo on the cover. We need to keep rubbing that photo in the Repukes' faces. McCain is 4 more years of the same.
  • Jamra · 1 year ago
    The story from the Politico that John posted was great. I just don't trust 'journalists' like Glenn Greenwald who keep dissing honest investigative reporters like those at Politico: "The Politico announced that the Iraq War was going to be a great asset for McCain because Americans are starting to love the war again." http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/

    That photo always makes me think of the song "Guy Love" from Scrubs. Ruins a good sitcom moment...
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    Politico SUCKS. The Iraq mess is not an asset for anybody. McCain will run on Iraq and lose. Americans are against the Iraq occupation by 2 to 1.

    That picture needs to wallpapered on every TV screen from now to November. It defines him like nothing else. A thousand words, indeed.
  • theWalrus · 1 year ago
    LOVE that cover! Whooop..there it is! Cliff is the best!
  • djhwood · 1 year ago
    Is it just me or did that "Biography" tour look more like an Obituary tour? I mean with the accompanying video and Cindy always adjusting his collar and making sure he had his cap on right ,just looked like a day nurse out of the home with one of the residents out on a shopping trip! Then add McCain straining to read what was on the teleprompter to see what he's supposed to say was just painful!!!! But then again, that was just me.......
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Mr. McGoo is going to have to do something about his horrible eyesight... One of the most important qualifications for President SHOULD BE the ability to READ and READ THE TELEPROMPTER. After eight years of someone unable ot read, you'd think the Republicans would find someone who could. I think they concentrated on the "READ" part and dismissed the fact Senator McGoo's eyes are ninety years old and he can't see very far...
  • theWalrus · 1 year ago
    The cable news shows, sadly, no longer call Cliff to appear because he knows what he talking about, speaks forcefully to those he's debating, and doesn't just regurgitate talking points like rightwingers ALWAYS do. He's got a brain and he uses it..

    Maybe you and Webster could form the "Necromonger" tag team. It's war; things get broken, people die.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Who's the old skank debating with Cliff?
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    Mr. McGoo. I love it. That would make a great cartoon.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    I bet she did Prescott Bush.

    Joe:

    I've said this before on a few of the blogs.

    You bloggers should really develop some kind of speakers bureau to push your best and most articulate bloggers out to the media as spokespersons for this kind of thing.

    Maybe have the categorized by subject area.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    I see the Repuke troll Busboy is back. He's a fucking asshole who voted for Chimpy twice and supports McSame.

    Go fuck yourself, Busboy.

  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    There, Walrus, I gave you a point.

    Could be worse, you could be that toe-tapping Busboy. He has -250 points.

    You might be getting knocked down for comments on previous threads.

    The Hillbots have been really killing me lately.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    I want to apologize for comparing Repukes to autistic and Down's syndrome people earlier. It is an insult to them to be compared to brain-dead Repukes, who are intentionally ignorant.

    Again, I apologize. I care about people with disabilities and it was an insensitive thing to say.
  • theWalrus · 1 year ago
    More Republican General Election Strategy:

    Race Card.
    Prissy Card (a la Edwards being labeled the "Breck-girl").

    That's really all they can do at this point. Scare people because Obama's black or make them believe Obama's not a "real" man. They have nothing else to campaign on.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    You got a point for that.
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    captions are needed for the photo...

    I like:

    "mmm... George always smells like a mixture of cheap beer and single-malt scotch, just like Mom!"
  • PeteWa · 1 year ago
    Featured story over on Rawstory as well.
    Nice to see the real McStain getting some press, instead of the flip-flop express that we've had to suffer through.

    And Jamra, you are fooling nobody.
  • Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago
    As Cliff's book will point out, McCain presents himself as THE exemplar of rock solid principles but he panders to whatever groups he feels he needs to.

    That is the issue, here.
  • theWalrus · 1 year ago
    I'm not sure someone who was tortured for 5 1/2 years using Russian "brain propaganda" techniques is capable of having principles of any sort.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    McCain is a Pander Bear.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    I will buy the book - Clif's great!

    And that photo of bush and McCrazyCain is classic and should be used over and over once we get to GE campaigning.
  • larz69 · 1 year ago
    So Cliff is a master debater???
  • larz69 · 1 year ago
    And yes I apologize for my earlier post...
  • jr · 1 year ago
    Kudos to Cliff for speaking truth to power on McCombover. Everyone please buy his book so more progressives get book deals
  • Chris From Maine · 1 year ago
    McCain's temper is a big issue. Do we really want a President who might "be having a bad day" and call the leader of Germany a "c*nt"?
  • woodroad34 · 1 year ago
    The only legacy of the Bush administration is how horrible it can be...McCain will be new face of horrendous.

    You left the "h" off of"http://..."

    Fix that and the link will work fine.

    McCain looks like he just got done nursing and now is going to get burped
  • ChicagoKid · 1 year ago
    OMG!!! Cliff just bizotch slapped her into next week. It was like a genius versus bush in a debate. He called her on her stupid remarks and blew her out of the water. The dems should get him on more often and less milk-toast slow-talking dems that we usually put up there.

    Bush_Bites is right on the money. People Like John A. and Cliff need to step to the head of the line when it comes to speaking for us!
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    Senator Bomb Bomb or

    Grandpappy McCain...
    i can't decide which i like better...
  • Mark · 1 year ago
    I am emailing an article by Cliff, describing the John/Cindy c-word incident, to all of my conservative friends and relatives. This should really cause them to pause and ponder their decision to support McCain -- expecially the women out there who should all be highly offended by this insulting "jerk" (to use his favorite put-down).
