Me. John McCain. Who hates pork so much he's kosher.

EZ said...

Nuked em my friends....

dave3544 said...

I hope Browkaw spends more time bitching about the candidates actually talking about issues instead of letting him have more camera time.

I grow weary of McCain saying "my friends."

Did McCain just refer to Obama as "that one"?

ash said...

wobs, ha!

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

Headline: "McCain Against Goodies"

McCain is doddering. AP

mcCain just referred to obama as, "that one."

But according to my blurb writer I am an expert on some area of health policy and even I don't know WTF she means when she asks whether he wants to treat health care as a commodity.

Hey Guys!

So um.... like, McCain is totally not my friend and I'm so sick of shouting it at the tv screen. Can't he hear me? I AM NOT HIS FRIEND!

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

My interpretation was she was asking whether health care should be something bought and sold like a common commodity (like a car) or treated like a public good (like electricity).

wobblie said...

Rule #1 - Flatter the questioner.

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

He'll impose mandates - and you know we Republicans don't like men dating.

That's a long drive from Nashville, buddy

unionboy said...

wouldn't it be some crazy shit if mccain said, i want single payer health care??

Anonymous said...

That one fell flat... man.

McCain, that is.

dave3544 said...

For those new to the game...I am drinking every time McCain says "my friends."

I offer this in advance to apologize for my inability to type.

Hopefully my output will drop off.

EZ said...

Dave, you are in for a world of hurt my friend!

dave3544 said...

$100 Billion.

That's the fine for small business.

Unknown said...

Dave! I'm so jealous... I have a ridiculus headcold that is still around from AGEL... So no drinky drink for me. I probably wouldn't be so pissed at McCain if I could play your game :(

Step it up a notch and drink every time someone says "tax credit."

My friends, tax policy is not a substitute for social policy.

dave3544 said...

Now Obama is just babbling.

wobblie said...

I ♥ organizer Obama.

Unknown said...

Dude, I'm totally marching down to Obama's office tomorrow and asking him to help us kick UIC's health insurance's arse since they refuse to cover stuff. I bet he'd kick good butt.

Anonymous said...

cps, does the polling show that they are both better off failing to answer questions at all than giving specifics that can be attacked?

AP

wobblie said...

Uh... historically, haven't military powers usually collapsed under the weight of their empires?

dave3544 said...

McCain seems to think being a "peace maker" means the military.

Talk about your fundamental differences.

And to supporting the Contras with illegal weaponry

wobblie said...

BOOM! Invading the wrong country!

Historical note: we did have the ability to intervene in the Holocaust. Could have bombed those train lines to the crematoria pretty much any old time. Didn't.

dave3544 said...

Do you think they told the crowd to look bored as hell? And a little pissed off?

wobblie said...

OMG - McCain is slinging the fucking bullshit!

Victory! Honor! USA! USA!

Hey that lady is asking that question special just for one of my best friends! I heart her.

I prefer Batman to Teddy Roosevelt.

Or was it Truman?

I promise you my friends, Obama has a very big stick.

OMG. Obama turned Pakistani opinion against the US?

OMG.

They were totally fine with us until then.

wobblie said...

Oh shit, if this goes to strategy, Obama is fucked! He gets confused between "strategies" and "tactics"!

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

When this is over, maybe McCain will go on to host a show on the Travel Channel.

I was joking with a veteran of the Spanish AMerican conflict

he hates to have to deal with his bomb bomb bomb Iran comment. I know I would hate having to deal with that to.

dave3544 said...

McCain is pisssssssssssssed.

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

Acting responsibly in his military career? He took planes so he could get to a date on time.

Anonymous said...

Since when does Obama lead the military kill 'em discussions? I do not like how this is going. He's letting McCain set the tone again.

I wonder if McCain panics just a little bit when questions come off the "internet."

Does the "KGB" line work?

McCain seems to think it does. Probably gets laughs in the cloakroom.

Yeaaaaah for European allies! Woo hoo. I heart Europeans. They are good people.

I looked at Putin's chest.

dave3544 said...

As Someone drinking everytime he says it, I can tell you McCain stops saying "my friends" when he is talking about the military/foreign affairs.

Car Carpet said...

this might be a bit young for y'all, but mccain is exactly like krang from ninja turtles!

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

Putin to Wobs: You know, they don't talk.

Obama's kinda fumbling here

wobblie said...

I do have a problem objectifying world leaders. But they were totally asking for it.

Anonymous said...

I was never good at "yes" or "no" questions either.

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

I understand, Wobs. And by the way, they're real and they're spectacular.

I hope Obama's answer involves the name "Jack Bauer."

Dr. Curmudgeon said...

Or...or the Justice League! Yes!

Has anyone ever heard if John McCain had to sacrifice anything?

League of Democracies is a great idea. He clearly has foreign experience.

Where did this "2nd holocaust" thing come from? They've said in the last 2 debates.

New thread is up.

Michele was in Illinois yesterday working out at the gym above my husband's work. She wanted to get extra toned up for the beat down on McCain tonight :)
