Prickles The Candidate
John McCain appears to be a little bit testy these days. Time Magazine gets to step into the dusty confines of the press area on the Amazing Flying Straight Talk Express, and gets a face full of grizzled obstinance for their trouble. There’s a theme that recurs in your books…
Mainstream media trying to deceive female voters (and male voters who support women)
The handicapping of McCain’s campaign by the media is becoming brutally obvious during the DNCC. Between the lack of coverage for major speeches and puffing up the whole “PUMA” storyline to be a much bigger thing than it is, it’s becoming undeniable. Skimping on the Lily Ledbetter speech was especially…
Our Media…So Dumb
John McCain takes Ambien, which can, in incredibly rare cases, result in sleep-doing-things. ABC News wrote a three-page article detailing how, as long as McCain doesn’t overdose, down his Ambien during a drinking binge or otherwise act like a fucking idiot, it shouldn’t result in him waking up with the…
McCain Supporters For McCain!
Why are “pro-Clinton” groups voting for McCain? Because Barack Obama went to a Muslim school. If you’re going to send out ratfuckers, send out ratfuckers that don’t look like complete lunatics, please.…
Can’t Stop Cause It Won’t Stop
McCain on Leno last night: Leno didn’t let McCain off the hook, offering him $1 million to answer how many houses he owned and noting that the White House would be a nice addition. “You’ve got enough of those. … You need a white one, too?” McCain used that to…
John McCain: Nice Guy
John McCain’s aides feel as if they’ve been “underusing” the POW card. It figures that the person doing the most to demean and marginalize McCain’s military is McCain himself. You really have to wonder if McCain spent most of his post-Vietnam, pre-divorce time making himself out to be the Uber…
‘Monopoly McCain’ talks about his host of homes
It looks like Monopoly Man McCain sat down at the Jesus’ General’s “electrical typing intertubes pamphlet machine” to respond to the charges that he’s out of touch with Americans because he can’t remember how many homes he has. “McCain” wanted to clear the air to show that he understands the…
Count It Up
Here’s John McCain’s response ad to his not knowing how many homes he owns: I say he just uses this Powerline defense: The latest campaign kerfuffle is Obama’s effort to make hay out of John McCain’s inability to tell a reporter how many houses he owns. McCain mumbled something about…
Thank god Matt Yglesias is a dude
It’s been implied that men need to have appropriate and convincing penis-centric reasons for voting for Obama (and for fearing a McCain presidency), so how about not getting our penises shot off in a series of foreign lands? [McCain] wasn’t just worried by North Korea’s nuclear program in 1994, he…
Elitimamism
How bad is it that even John McCain doesn’t know how many homes he owns? If we look at charges of elitism over the past couple of elections, they all tend to come from the sorts of behavior that aren’t particularly novel or elitist except for the fact that they…
