This is quite possibly the most horrifying thing I have ever heard. Joe Lieberman goes waaaay below and beyond the call to defend poor Johnny's beleaguered bearings:
I just want to report that this morning, I personally checked John McCain's bearings. He has not lost any of them, and they are all really in great shape.
This is a mental image that will haunt me for the rest of my days. If there is an extended version of this clip with Joe talking about how he spit-polished McCain's bearings or gave them a nice rubdown, for the love of God please DO NOT tell me about it.
(h/t Atrios. Now I really do have a reason to hate him.)

Eli!
CTut!
rofl, i dunno why rocky mountian oysters comes to mind. *g
Eli!
Urk.
Maybe Rocky Mountain Nutmegs.
KO just had Mort Sahl on and he cited a anecdote about Hojo receiving Repug donations, ‘Yes, I’ll take the thirty pieces of silver!’ Yep, you do that, Judas…!
well, the phrases ’consider the source’ and ’takes one to know one’ are what i keep thinkin’
Since they are normally resting on his chin, I think we can believe what ever Joe says on this topic.
So Liebervurst thinks that when ya lose yer bearings- it’s like WHEEL bearings that fall out somewhere?
Don’t let Liebervurst fix your car or navigate yer boat.
Hey Eli-
OMFG! I love Mort Saul!
On KO just now, he opened the interview with an apocryphal story about asking Mark Russell about his interview of RGJoe - Russell asked RGJoe if he took Republican campaign contributions, and Russell told Saul that RGJoe replied that he did, but only 30 pieces of silver at a time!
which one had the soap?
(i’m sooooo sorry, been thinkin’ it all day)
This is a mental image that will haunt me for the rest of my days.

It’s not pretty, but I suggest you delete that one from the forever file.
There should be a limit to how much we can retain.
For your sake…
na, them hill are iron. ain’t libelman a transplant?
He’s happy to report that all his shipshape with the Skipper’s scuppers and his bright work be squared away too. Joe can’t wait to conduct a closer examination of Cap’n McCain’s bilges,, but he’ll have to lay him to, in order to do so…
Yeah, I was wondering just how often Joe “checks” McCain’s bearings…
You owe me a Coke, Newt! ;-)
Correct me if i am wrong, but I believe in order to check bearings one has to remove the rim.
And now I’m getting a *truly* disturbing Captain Queeg visual…
Eli, I had to break into a loud rendition of LA LA LA LA when Keith just reported that story. Mr. martha was laughing so hard I don’t think he will be permanently affected. Me, totally completely and utterly grossed out.
He’s had to straighten the out once or twice… IIRC! ;-)
now that one is prize.
Hey Eli heres a little hole to be dugg by your firedog pup friends… Good post!
PG-40 rating.
lol :)
Or NC-DEM…
get in line, CTuttle :-)
Hi Eli
What’s next, Joe verifying that McShame is not impotent? As his fluffer he would know for sure.
Can we get a second opinion on those bearings from Charlie Crist or Lindsey Graham?
How many times did Hojo whisper in McInsane’s ear about AQI and others…?
Eli ..xxxoooo..good evening
Anybody with an IQ starting with an integer should know that the phrase “lost his bearings” simply means lost one’s way, or sense of direction. I love the phony “outrage at Obama’s ageism” by the McBu’ushies. Very cute.
AAAAACCCKKKKK. TMI TMI TMI
All kidding aside, what the hell is Joe talking about? This morning he personally checked McCain’s bearings and he has not lost any of them. What the hell does that mean?
Doesn’t he have any work he should be doing for the people he represents? I don’t think inspecting John McCain’s balls counts as oversight.
now you’re aiming below the belt.
Ewww.w.ww..w.w….!!!!
It wasn’t bad enough before you put that image into my mind? Aughh, patooie! I was trying to eat dinner!
Since you guys are standing in line to check each others bearings, I’m going to wimp out and say good nite.
But, have fun.
Hi, sadly!
I think, pardon my french, that HoJo has sunk to levels of bithcery.
I can check my own damn bearings, thank you very much.
I didn’t realize that auditioning for VP required such “personal” vetting.
well is JOeyLiarmman…a wet nurse,or cabanna boy for McNutty?
Here’s the complete clip:
I just want to report that this morning, I personally checked John McCain’s bearings. He has not lost any of them, and they are all really in great shape. I also checked his crank and it needed some lube. His dipstick looked a bit low, so I put a wad of oil in that hole thingie. Then I made sure his battery was recharged for the rest of the ride…..
just turn and cough
gives “kissing up” a whole new meaning, huh?
Aloha, demi! I know mine are straight and true…! ;-)
I’m not sure if McThusula(™RevDeb) got this tactic from Senator Clinton, or the other way around.
But we’ll surely see this soon: “Obama draws breath - McCain furious!”
ack…gag..gag..shudder
bom dia pups
think i threw up in my mouth a little
sadly–left you a note in the ’mccain, not old just lost’ thread at 100 101
nite all
Okay, then. Still, have fun.
jeebus, who is his writer?
I had the exact same reaction…
Haddasah…beard? Joey looks A- sexual to me
not my trademark. I stole it from someone else here. Can’t remember who started it or I would give credit where credit is due.
ishall go look….nite nite
GOP - Grandpa’s Old Potty
That one brought tears…
No doubt, dude.
Good night CT. :)
So who is the political genius in the McBush campaign who brought the fact that McBush is past green bananas into the discussion….
If McBush hadn’t lost his bearings, he’d have fired the idiot.
second that.
He’s playing the age card!
Here’s the deal McBush- when the thing you want to avoid most is having people realize that you were born during the Boer War, you don’t accuse people of callin ya old–got that?
Medic? Medic?
ET, how could the Hulkster still have a 53% somewhat/very favorable rating…? Inquiring minds want to know? ;-)
Strategically, it was kind of stupid. It’s like there’s no strategy at all. Or, they’ve decided the kitchen sink is all they’ve got as well…
See my 84 on the previous thread. Would that story have gotten any press 3 years ago? Thanks for catching it.
”Someone grab that old fucker- he’s tryin ta whack me with his walker!”
Boer War–that’s FUNNY. God, that sounds OLD.
this whole thing just brings prunes to mind
Republicans love to play victim.
GOP - Grandpa’s Orange Panties
in more ways than one.
The images were horrific and now you bring up prunes. Shame on you. :)
Or, you pull a Ronnie Raygun and make and effective neutralizing joke out if it. But, NO-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhhh!!! Not in the current, transparently banal Land Of The Perpetually Politically Indignant Over EVERY Imagined Slight.
Joe has personally checked on McCain’s prunes and found them to be exemplary…
Exactly.
Those Meenie Libruls.
One of Joe’s favorite tactics against Lamont was to continually accuse him of running a negative campaign.
sorry but it was the image that popped in my head.
(I must be dottering, myself, as this is a repeat):
you want old? McVain came to the New World from Asia via the Bering Land Bridge.
Bustednuckles will confirm, if your going to check bearings you better be load a grease gun.
aaack.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I always packed ‘em by hand… ;-)
*putting plate down*
i didn’t need to eat tonight anyhow
YA, they just found the remains of his 14,000 years old lunch in Chile.
Ah yes, the Bering Land bridge. That’s quite prehistoric! But I’ll raise you one–he got here before continental drift tore good ol’ North America from Old Europe…
It’s the McCain-Lieberman diet plan.
Hamentaschen, his favorite.
The Chair recognizes the Senator from Pangaea…
Better copyright it quick! You could make millions!!!
707!
I’ll grant you that, but did you know that his economic plan to address the mortgage crisis emerged from the sub-prime ordeal ooze?
Yea, but Cindy wouldn’t like the climate
hahahahahaaa

McCain to Me in 1999: Bush “As Dumb as a Stump”
Posted May 9, 2008 | 06:01 PM (EST)
——————————————————————————–

As a lawyer might say (OK, I am one), I have no personal; knowledge of whether John or Cindy McCain voted for George W. Bush in the 2000 election. However, now that that has been called into question by Arianna Huffington (who says no) and Huffington’s truthfulness has in turn been questioned by the McCain campaign (although not yet by the McCains), I can offer the following anecdote as admissible hearsay shedding a little light on the subject:
Awww, the Native Americans are not gonna like that. *g*
rofl
I’m pretty sure I’d get sued for promoting bulimia.
“Don’t call me OLD, you whippersnapper” croaked McBush as he pitched a jar of Geritol at Obama’s head”
It is pretty amazing, isn’t it? The Alaska bubble.
Ex-State Representative Vic Kohring, who was sentenced in Federal court yesterday to 3 & 1/2 years for corruption, could probably get 55% of the vote in his district from his jail cell. After all, unlike Democrts, he doesn’t kill babies, and that is all that matters in his district.
I do belive the wise from the past would reject and denouce!
yup reall Bull …emia
I bow to you in awe, as usual. But, I also steal from you too (”my contempt for Joe Lieberman…)
quite a stump speech.
it’s public domain by now!
I was gonna say somethin’ about his hair but I think the mods’ll burn me.
I don’t know, there are some things so gross (to me anyway) that just kill the need for food. This is one of those.
Notice on the video that Mrs. Greenspan is able to continue after hearing Joe but the other correspondent can’t stop laughing. Maybe Joe needs to visit the Greenspan household…
I did notice that Young pulled in some very unfavorable no.’s tho…! Go, Benson…! ;-)
I don’t even want to talk about his stump in the same post as his bearings.
That’s cause Mrs. Greenspan’s sense of humor got lost in the same place as McBush’s bearings.
Why, are you orthodox?
Hillary’s Last Stand.
when HoJo “checked under the hood” he should have noticed that McVain had no analytic converter.
I’m whatever Joe isn’t.
Plenty of mileage, tho.
Heading of another potential s*x scandal, the McCain campaign clarified today that the alleged S&M devices found stashed behind the bulkhead on Air Force Cindy were actually buggy whips.
Not to mention, who had an axle to grind?
most of it on re-treads
Actually, this is Hillary’s last stand - in the Fuhrer Bunker…
One thing that has been bugging me about Lieberman.
Too lazy to look it up. Is Joe related to Alexander Lieberman?
I once worked with the guys that did all of Alexander’s welding. The Laymans. They are an excellant crew of artians.
John McCain is wearing mostly polyester
John McCain is yelling at spiders again
John McCain thinks that’s a bunch of hooey
do the wise have hair?
