Login HereNothing seems to upset the GOPs more than when they see actual proof that John McCain believes American troops should be in Iraq for 100 years.
But he said it.
It's on video.
The wingnuts claim it's "out of context."
But it's not. This is what he said when a questioner stated that President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for fifty years.
"Maybe a hundred. That'd be fine with me."
This is what the GOP fears most: that American voters will come to understand McCain's Middle East plan.
More war, more death, more carnage, more orphans, and more treasure lost in the desert. More war profiteering, too.
For one hundred years.
Also, on the same day that the Cindy's Kept FlyBoy story hit, St McCain "came out of one of his eight mansions and told the press that" Obama is insensitive to poor people.
Hahahahahaha.
My question for Sunday nite is: will the North Carolina GOP ad run tomorrow? Is McCain impotent?

Tedddy!
teddy!
McBush has the same plan as Bush- do nothing and hope that God comes out of a machine and makes everything better…..He’s greek I guess.
I love the pushback being done on MSM - the debate debacle, Elizabeth Edwards’ op-ed in the NYT and of course the blog world filled with DFH’s.
If McBush is elected, he will be able to declare a mandate for the 100 year war.
hiya GdP!
hello Suzanne!
hi, rwc….
Evening Teddy! Does it really matter if the ad runs in NC or not? As much as the MSM has been playing it in their “stories” it really doesn’t need to run. It’s already out there, and for free. A win/win.
Still, I think the GOP will run the ad. Cause that’s the kind of backwards-ass, knuckle draggers that they are. Besides, negative works in the Carolinas, McCain of all people should remember that. Where’s he been hiding Bridget, anyway?
I think the ad will run. Then we’ll get to watch the fun.
Howdy Teddy
I’m happy for you to see me.
Well, that’s the problem, innit…wingnuts parrot phrases like “out of context” without really knowing the meaning of “context”. You can hear it on any given Hannity show. It sounds smart, and they think it makes them sound smart. Obviously, it doesn’t.
How will McCain stand up to alQaida if he can’t bend Linda Daves, the NC GOP chair, to his will?
If she runs the ad, he looks very weak.
(Of course, if she pulls the ad, wingnuts will cry)
McCain IS impotent, teddy. he can’t even remember what he said a few days after saying it.
Been seeing you most of the day!
Yeah- I been seein me most a tha day too!
I still feel that McCain’s adventure with the young lobbyist was due to the advent of the ‘Viagra Age”. I’m not sure on the facts, so I ask the question: “How long is the little blue pill effective?”
When you have an opportunity, google-news “Howard Dean”
You get a little box atop your results:
heh
Of course, that’s logical. Problem is, there is no logic to be had in wingnuttia or the MSM. He’s a Maverick, remember?! From what she’s said, I think the ad will run. I read something today that she said it’s something like 10 to 1 for running the ad. The interesting thing will be how his campaign spins it if the ad runs.

Four hours or the lifetime of the user- whichever is less.
Hi Teddy!
Problem is that the MSM isn’t helping the narrative at all. AP article saying that McShame saying that Obama is insensitive to the poor is an empty article. Nothing in it worth the ink it’s printed with. You’d think that it would be an easy target! Just think about that other guy’s $400 haircut . . . . and what they could do to McShame if they wanted to—8 houses, private jet, sheesh!
Limp, flaccid, powerless, incapable, impotent
We must un-man him.
Anyone else get a pop-up on this site with a Nielson survey?
Lotsa snoopy questions.
Evening all. It really isn’t fair, Teddy. You know how easy it is to make the Goopers cry. They all try to act big and tough and all, but just stick your tongue out or use a bad word and they wail like banshees.
I think McCain’s out is that the networks have played it non-stop so he can just shrug and say, “Hell, it’s been on the national airwaves for a week already. What’s the big deal.” That way he feeds two birds with one scone. The networks have screwed themselves out of a turf war story and the rift between the NC party chair and McCain becomes moot.
not to mention how he is a kept man. bet the fact the mrs calls the shots financially (or so he alleges) drives the fundies’ blood pressure way up.
Hi Deb!
Correction: wife’s eight houses, wife’s private jet.
All part of the un-manning.
Gah. I may not be able to stay here long. The TV is next to me with the Mavs-Hornets game on. Even though I live in Spurs territory, I still have a soft spot for the Mavs. Especially Dirk. No offense, Madmommy, but I can’t watch your team thrash them.
violent
that’s the key. It’s his temper. That’s the button we need to push because we sure as hell don’t want him to have the power to push THE button! We need to make sure the rest of the country knows how scary it would be to have him as prex.
Gack! Are these the worst commercials EVER? Utterly cringe-worthy.
tis a real survey the lake is running. totally random selection
*sigh* i’ve not been chosen
frequently. I finally did it so it would stop—I hope.
Hummm - most flights on a private jet are probably within the four hour range. Very convenient.
tis a fake commercial
I think we can say he is all of the above. Sort of omnimpotent.
Sorry! Go Hornets!
Digg it!!!
why is 4 hour range important?
whoops, never mind
We live to serve.

I only have to listen to them. I can’t imagine what it’s like having to watch them.
It’s part of being able to better communicate to future potential advertisers: “who reads FDL?” FDL appreciates the time you might take to complete the survey, as it will better enable our terrific marketing team to target advertisers who want your valuable eyeballs.
It’s completely optional, of course.
thanks neuro, dugg
Hello Dr (pause) Dick.
that’s presumably how long the little blue pill is good for.
Spoken with authority from someone who has insight into fundies’ blood pressure…. *g*
What was it the missus said that made him explode (sorry) at her?
Oh, yeah, thinning on top?
Achille’s Heel?
I’ll bet if you ask him, even McCain will tell you he’s an impo’tent man.
matters not to me—my software blocks ads anyway. I’d rather directly support the Lake. Which reminds me, there hasn’t been an ask in a while.
i do my best :) it is my understanding that the word ’suzanne’ has power to spike some b/p’s way up
i’m dayam proud of that
But very like the awful real ones!
I love to take surveys. Especially since I don’t fit into nice little categories that advertisers think we should - middle aged white woman with decent income and very liberal. I like to show ‘em that we’re out here.
touché.
if anyone wants to see the speech that Rev Wright gave tonight at the NAACP in detriot, you can view the videos here
I think it is anything that calls his manlihood and studliness into question.
I agree that McCain’s temper is a weakness to be exploited. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility to get him going ballistic, perhaps in a debate on national TV, live across America. Kinda hard to spin that.
Alternate name for the DNC ad: Hunchback Of Notre McCain
Omnimpotent!
I love it! You will see that word again, sir.
We aim to please, you please aim.
Senator, on average, how many viagra do you cary with you at all times?
McCain: maybe a hundred.
I want you all to know that all your text is showing on my screen.
How cool is today’s new feature?
Okay, then I will finish it.
those are just the viagra lobbyists….
Hey RevDeb. How’s Philly?
there should be lots and lots of opportunities to light his fuse between now and Nov. Calling Mike Stark . . . . Spocko . . . . .
tech crew snuck it in during late late nite friday nite
lovin’ it.
McCain has turned into one gigantic conservitard buttmunch on every issue of importance to this country from Torture to Taxes. If ambition blinds him that much perhaps a seeing-eye dog would be appropriate… oh wait, he has Mrs. Checkbook McCain for that… if she’s not stoned on Percocets.
Maybe McCain should stroll over to the Dole residence…I’ve heard they’ve got a lifetime’s supply of the little blue pills!
Wait maybe Linda Davies got into the medicine cabinet at one of their “Dinnah Parties” and got a bit hyped! I’ve heard that it works on the ladies libido, too!
Tres cool, Teddy!
And Atrios tipped on the new blogger feature for timed postings. A gift from the blog-gods for we lowly DFH bloggers.
I love the royal blue and the hidden quoted text!
Hiya Suz, ES… RevDeb… que pasa?
Oh, EU, now that’s hilarious!
Yeah, but it’s got to be in camera shot of the big 3 networks and cable news channels. Nothing like live video of a shit fit to really impress people.
Hey mommybrain, how’s the smoke down your way?
I mean — from today’s fire.
but his RSS feeder is all screwed up. Has been for almost a week.
Atrios seems to spending a lot of his time in teh future now. I’m not sure this new feature is healthy for him. What if he had discovered it before the Pennsylvania primary? He could have skipped it altogether!
A reminder - McCain is a fighter jock. Those of you that have been around that unique species probably know what I mean. Aggressive, extremely confident, believes they can do anything, on the edge, etc. BTW, God bless them all, but don’t think we need another one in the WH.
What I wouldn’t give to watch mcCain melt down in public (oh, please oh please oh please). But it would have to be a situation like Ashcroft’s mini-melt, with calm, persuasive questioners not pushy or rude ones. Otherwise it’s on them, not McCain.
hey mommybrain, did the fire cancel your plans?
Jonathan Singer has a good one on McShame’s hypocrisy calling Obama out. That’s a theme everyone can pile on.
last graph:
I think we also need to institute a standing rule that any comments by Mr. Child-of-Privilege-Married-to-More-Money-than-Croesus about how anyone else is out of touch with the common people be greeted with gales of derisive laughter.
And it is SPLENDID!
Very elegant solution, I think.
Yay, techies.
Has Juanito McCain put his Manhood in a “Blind Trust” for the campaign, or has it been there since he married Cindy Lou? ¿Quien es mas macho?, Señor McCain, you or Señora McCain?
Perhaps we should have Hannity explain the context we are missing when Johnny Cakes called Cindy a C**T? That would be innnerestin’…and maybe, since it’s not gonna be in a manner “an excretory or sexual manner” it should be easy for him to talk about it without the wrath of the FCC coming down on FAUX…
tee-hee!
Hey Teddy! ‘ere.
Oh, you mean the FIRE. Even though it’s more than 5 miles away as the crow flies and the wind is blowing away from us, my sister’s car was covered in ash when she left here today, after parking overnight.
Hey, Jo! Aloha, Late nite Pups! Jo, can you meet me on FB?
true. But we’d also have to catch him while he’s not on tranqs. He seems to be doped up most of the time lately. I wonder why?
I shall try to profit by his un-example. Wrote a post for publishing at 6 a.m, hopefully it works. One cannot be too careful about Future Posting. Wouldn’t want to see him or any of us disappear into the 22nd Century…..
they want iraq and iran for the oil. Without the oil we are fucked because no one is making plans for 300 million of us to live without it. The saudis have begun pumping water down oil wells for the dregs, this is a sign that they are running out. No ez answers.
Agreed.
FB?
now if we could just get the edit feature back we’d be in hog heaven. Pretty please?
“Please somebody run and tell my stuck on stupid friends that Arabic is a language, it’s not a religion.”
his temper temper temper
shoot me an email, I’m not on FB (took me a minute)
McCain seems to have had extensive media coaching — he is quiet, still, and (inappropriately) smiley. But the real McCain shines through sometimes. My favorite expression of his is when he’s trying to hear a question at a press avail. It’s very Abe Simpson.
sorry pups, that is what happens when your chatting and reading FDL at the same time *g*
dang, that’s like asking for a miracle
don’t know if the tech crew can put that outta their hat
Or whereever… I need to ask a few questions…!
His fellow pilots called Johnny Cakes “Ace” because he brought down five planes… unfortunately, they weren’t the enemies! If McCain had been on the other side he would have been the most successful North Vietnamese pilot of the war.
Wilco!
Exactly! Which is why having him go nutty in a debate would be so choice. I think his handlers are worried about it too, they probably see that temper up close and personal every single day.
BTW, anyone notice the diamond-encrusted USMC pin Cindy’s been sporting lately? McCain’s a Navy man, and I know that the Navy and Marines are intertwined, but am I missing something? Dad, a former Marine, used to make jokes about the Navy only being useful as a transport service for the Marines.
Obama used to say, “I want to have that conversation” a lot. He probably still does, we just don’t get to hear it.
What an uncanny resemblance.
No. We had a lovely yoga day. The park was closed to everyone but us due to the fire, so it was nice and quiet. Many friends, however, are evacuated from their homes in Sierra Madre. No structures destroyed thus far. I’m praying it’s just another Southern California Adventure for them and they’ll come home in a few days. Only 5% contained tonight.
Yeah, but Abe is smarter and more even tempered.
and better looking
I think he should always be refered to as “Johnny Wetstart”, that should get him livid!
Yeah and I hear he can still get it up.
But with the edit feature fully enabled, we might never have seen LHP’s “bright shiny thong.”
Momma Bong used to tell me I had a radio voice… and a radio face, too.
;~P
Thus impoverishing our lives.
Is it about her son?
true dat, teddy. i love the bright shiny thong
