But Vicki Iseman likes him!

Morning egregious! Coffee?

Just remember ABBA means “daddy” in english.

[…holds out cup] Thank you kindly.

Thanks Christy.

Who’s yer ABBA ?

And I can thankfully say that I never owned or wore a “leisure suit” in my entire life.

“morning, Christy. Was SCHIP one of the monitored votes?

Hi Christy. Ya know, I can’t force myself to look at that clip. The thought of going through the rest of this day with that running around in my brain puts my hands in my pockets.

I believe that they are now called “seizure suits” and still popular in the rest homes.

I just saw some woman on MSNBC talking about how bad the Dem Primary has been for McCain ’cause he can’t get any attention from the media. I’m thinking the best thing for him is to shut up and hide until the election. Once women start to figure out his record, he’ll be in even bigger trouble.

Leisure Suit is a handy metaphor for the unhip, the dated.

e.g.: Bill Clinton - political leisure suit.

mweee heeeee

Morning egregious! Coffee?

Ugh. Someone here turned off the coffee machine over the weekend. I’m all for being environmentally-friendly and turning off “vampire accessories”, but the coffee machine is off-limits. If I haven’t had coffee already, I have a very limited set of skills to draw on. Pushing the “brew” button is about all I can manage. It didn’t even occur to me to make sure the damn thing was on. And twenty minutes later, I had to sit there and figure out why there was no coffee.

Well yeah…he thinks women are *unts and trollops. I don’t think he likes women at all.

McBush goal is to peel off some of the angry Hillary supporters. Some of them are so angry, they’d vote for Bush before they’d vote for Obama. But some might yet support Obama, if they’re given a chance to look at his platform. McBush intends to try to keep them angry all the way to Novemeber, so they’ll vote for him to teach Obama a lesson.

There are enough folks like that to swing some key states.

Boxturtle (We expected this)

Good morning Christy. I hope all is well at Reddhouse today.

Dandy post. I keep envisioning McSame campaign events with little complimentary paper cups of green jello with bananas in it. Blergh.

Bay Buchanan’s screed is a hoot. When that wimmen be whinin’, she’s gotta be in a world a’ hurt. BIG pityparty in bewe-cannon households these days.. Tough… I haven’t a tear to spare.

Oh, and please add a “zero” on environmental vote scorecards for McSame. I hear tell some wimmens might *gasp* even care about their children’s future.

But won’t women respond positively to how McCain was so compasionate the way he dumped his first wife Carol a year after he started his affair with his wealthy second wife Cindy?

((((( Christy )))))

The young ‘un is much better today … methinks a promise to make Cherry Chip Cupcakes
played a major role … *g*

New McCain slogan: Do Ya Think I’m Sexy

now. that’s. just. sad. *reaches for tissue*

really. pathetic.

ARGH! My parents had an album of Englebert Humperdink singing that song! Thanks for taking me back to Queens, New York, and our stereo cabinet with the fabric-covered speakers crooning Englebert Humperdink and Bobby Vinton. Now I have to go scrub my brain with Brill-o, lest I go through the day with Carol Kane as Valerie shouting “Humpahdink! Humpahdink! Humpadink!”

the visions and the sounds - - help me - it’s just ugly

kinda tacky, eh?

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at the strategy meeting that came up with this gem. “We need to get chicks to vote for us. Especially old chicks. Wait, if they’re old, are they really ‘chicks’? Hmm. ‘Old bags’, that’s it! We need to get some of Hillary’s old bags to vote for us. What do ‘old bags’ really like? Anyone? Anyone at all? Bob, you talk to your wife sometimes, don’t you? What does she like? Didn’t she drag you to some play when you were in New York last summer? What was THAT all about? Only pussies go to plays. Anyway, what was the play about?”

Good Morning Christy and Firedogs,

Christy - thank you for some humor in slogging through the effluent that is McStain messaging

go ahead Charlie, officially rename it the Hunka Hunka Burnin’ Love Tour - you can sell McCain Trusses at intermission :D

Perhaps Zappa’s “Dancin’ Fool” would be better?

linkie please.

IMO McBush has always viewed himself throughout life as a warrior “ladies’ man” in the TopGun “need for speed” sense of the phrase (so many jokelines can be made of that alone). And of course he really has been- except it’s been in the Californication sense.

Californication: Ladies Man

brain bleach in aisle 29, STAT!

I hope Abba tells him he can’t use their music in his campaign.

I think of another cinematic parallel.

The Right Stuff

Pancho Barnes would have referred to John (Five Crash) McCain as a pudknocker.

She was a better pilot than McFlake.

I’m John McCain, male prostitute. I work with the truss m’am.

-G

He thinks Roe should be overturned.

In 2000, Dubya kept weasling on that point. He could not come out and say he wanted to overturn Roe v Wade. Gore tried to make Dubya say it and he wouldn’t. In 2008, can the Republican candidate now come right out and say he opposes Roe and use it as a positive?

Well, alright, GregB. First huge laugh of my day ;).

I’m John McCain and I approve this massage !

Englebert Humperdink YouTube.

Cripes the knives are out!

dis campain gonna already be UGH-LY!

Meanwhile, Obama is in NC helping turn that state from red to blue. Larry Kissell has a new diary, recs appreciated.

“roger you roundly”

Oh, the earth moved! It really did!

McPudknocker! I like!

John McCain Can’t Smile Without You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related

I love the idea of McThuselah using ABBA music. It’ll bring out all teh gays and make for interesting campaign events!

And on that note I think the weather in the east right now would be great for McThuselah to be out campaigning in. I can just see him wilting into a little puddle, kinda like the wicked witch.

John crashed 5 times?

Y’all laugh all you want, this is what a President McCain’s presser is gonna look like …

I saw this today too:

Why is McCain getting $58,000 a year in disability income?
by John Aravosis
So is McCain “technically” disabled, and taking $58,000 a year tax free from the government, or is he actually disabled?
http://www.americablog.com/200.....ar-in.html

Have to say, this burns my ass in a lot of ways, being someone who was once on disability and now has the government scarf up every tax refund because they say they “overpaid me.”

As politely as I can, I ask what women would vote for a man who stands against almost all women’s right, against adequate healthcare for everyone, and so on. I cannot imagine voting for him. And I ask are the women who are saying they will vote McCain, really dems at all? How can one put aside all that is at stake. Bill told us to fall in love, then fall in line back in 2003 when I ‘loved’ Howard Dean.

And I had to vote Kerry no matter how angry I was.

i gotta go gang. Can’t stand this far rightie stuff. Makes me blue. *g*

Oh lordy, that’s a cruel and unusual work environment in my book!

No but he can say He will appoint a Scalia type judge which is GOP code for no more abortions. There is one problem though I think everyone knows the code this election.

Yes, a reverse ace.

we had a lengthy discussion about that on late night last night. How dare he—with the uber wealthy wife—be taking those tax free payments while voting against benefits for the vets of this war!

It is wrong in so many ways.

A Republic can if he has enough faith in Dibold.

Great catch.

Thanks, I missed it.

personal experience dictates one steers clear of the flyboys . . .they have to be first in everything :D

Don’t forget the Janet Reno as Chelsea’s real father joke — something I think we need to get out there a lot more thoroughly.

(((Quaker girl)))

After the third crash you would think the Navy would have grounded him, made him pee in a cup, get him some glasses. After the fourth crash who cares is dad and grand dad were Admirals he should have been out as a pilot. Is that normal for a pilot to crash 5 times. Cause I think my car insurance should be a lot lower then.

Did McCain father that joke? I don’t know who that joke came from.

Here’s a scary quote from a neighbor who was a strong Hillary supporter. “I think I’ll vote McCain. He was respectful to Hillary during the campaign and I think she’ll work better with him”

Boxturtle (Anger, especially rightous anger, can make people act against their own best interests)

Bom dia pups

Who knew that all disaffected women Hillary supporters were ABBA fans.

A joke too bad to print?

He told it in public at an event when Chelsea ws still in her teens as I recall.

The media covered for him pretty well.

-G

We can’t use too much energy worrying or being scared about people like that.

McCain’s fourth aircraft loss occurred July 29, 1967, soon after he was assigned to the USS Forrestal as an A-4 Skyhawk pilot. While seated in the cockpit of his aircraft waiting his turn for takeoff, an accidently fired rocket slammed into McCain’s plane. He escaped from the burning aircraft, but the explosions that followed killed 134 sailors, destroyed at least 20 aircraft, and threatened to sink the ship.

http://www.vietnamveteransagai.....five_u.htm

He killed 134 of our sailors and twenty aircraft…uh was there an enemy pilot in the Viet Nam war who took out more aircraft than John McCain?

McCain spells it out on his own website. He will fight to overturn Roe v Wade. Follow the link in Christy’s post above. Then follow that link to McCreep’s website. Its right there.

Read that discussion. McBush’ lifestyle & his campaign pronouncements so far are an abomination to all, & more precisely to our vets, for which he will pay dearly in 11/08. The folks who this effects are watching closely.

Best to you & yrs., RevDeb.

Have to get to office. Read you all later.

Print out Christy’s post and give a copy of it to your neighbor. Maybe not right away, but it should be helpful.

He didn’t kill them.

That’s kind of amazing that he doesn’t know if condoms help prevent HIV. So much for straight talk.

McCain was nearly 40 years old when women got equal rights. He didn’t leave the Navy til much later. Wonder what his opinion of women is like.

I thought, after viewing your Engelbert video, and have seen McCain’s awkward grimacing smiles in his speech last week, that surely this was in store.

They are ****s and trollops….and that’s what he thinks about the one he’s married to.

Cliff Schecter broke in his book, THE REAL MCCAIN, that St. John occasionally uses the “c” word to refer to women.

He’s a class act.

For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals.

“McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat,” explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs — the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. “Since McCain got 28 medals,” Bell continues, “that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys — grunts on the ground — who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison. The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down.”

http://www.vietnamveteransagai.....five_u.htm

My bold I have never seen a bosses son so favored I am impressed!

Yes, but time and exposure to McCain isn’t exactly endearing, either. Distance is his friend. Give your neighbor time to process everything and take a good, long look at him in the full light of day. Here’s hoping the media will do the same…but I’m not exactly holding my breath.

Has he tried presenting a video of a male chorus, with him as conductor, singing “Having My Baby”?

Sorry I missed it last night. I also have to question how his doctor’s give him a clean bill of health to run for president while he draws disability. Interesting.

I don’t doubt you but thats insane even Bush weaseled on that question.

He called Hillary a bitch on video.
He called Chelsea ugly.
He insulted Janet Reno on two levels.
He insulted his wife in front of reporters.

The man hates women.

Well, certainly, checking out Biff Diggerence’s link, when one was a trainer he was flying solo from an army/navy game. (a breath test would have been good, too!)

This guy’s thinking on everything is so outdated. People say his age isn’t important, or worth discussing, but come on. This guy has no idea about how people think these days. Or how they work or live. What does he think of sushi? He doesn’t think that Facebook has anything to offer because to him, it’s all “the internet”. It’s like my neighbor, who is about McCain’s age who came home a couple years ago saying, “We have to get on the web.” And he bought a computer and it sits in his closet. He has no idea what it’s for.

wait, did that rocket come from another aircraft? Why would this count?

yep. that’s part of the discussion too.

So much on the surface to report—you don’t even have to work hard or dig too deep.

IF we had a working press, McThuselah would never have gotten this far. Alas, we don’t.

That’s the ol’ Maverick in him. The women who have been thusly addressed should speak out. The men who have been a party to that dialogue should likewise speak up.

Here’s a quote from one of my neighbors who was also a strong Hillary advocate.

McCain? Are you kidding me. I wouldn’t vote for that putz if he were the only candidate running.

Does he call his interns “honey”? Does he playfully slap them on the ass?

To be fair, Hillary has probably referred to her husband as an asshole.

I disagree, I’m afraid there are enough folks out there like her to swing the election and I think Obama MUST find a way to reach out to them. Ignoring them and pretending they aren’t there won’t work. They don’t feel like democrats, that has to change.

Boxturtle (And change before they feel like McBush Republicans)

In one of the more bitterly ironic developments. Those being hardest hit by the increase in gas prices are those in rural areas with low wages.

Bush’s base.

-G

I’d give you the link, but three clicks will take you there yourself. Click on Roe in Christy’s post and follow the yellow tooth road.

Newt Gingrich could be called upon to give McCain some tips on upholding family values such as marital fidelity.

I’m more evil than that. I pointed her at this thread and I suspect she’s reading now. Hi Molly!

Boxturtle (Ears is up here, playing with the Huskies if you worried)

Don’t think McC is making much of an impression in the South. Talked to relatives last night in Ms and they feel that Ms may very well get close to blue this time. They are all voting for Obama.

I still think that we should go after the Republican issues than the person of John McCain because he is easily replaceable - especially since the GOP is waiting up to the fact he might not win. if all our efforts are on taking the person down and leaving the GOP untouched, and McCain is switched out, we will have wasted our time, money, and efforts.

That’s very true. McBush will ultimately be our best spokesman, but I must admit I’m sure glad the election isn’t tomorrow!

Boxturtle (Though his FIRST wife could be a powerful spokesperson)

Go back and read what I wrote. I never said ignore them. I said we can’t spent TOO much time on them. We have to move forward and hope that they come along or join us later but we can’t lag back with them. Too much work to do.

Apparently, she supports him.

Sorry George - Calling Bill Clinton an a**hole is NOT the same thing as calling your wife the ‘c’ word. Sorry. Not the same thing at all. If she’d called him a sch**ck, THAT would be the same thing.

Given McCain’s record as a pilot and his ability to keep flying even after accidents well maybe a rocket accidently fired but that sounds like a manufacturing problem in which case with sailors dead there would be an investigation or maybe it was a serious screw up by a sailor in which case someone would get court martialed.
Or maybe McCain fired the rocket himself but didn’t release it from his plane this is pure speculation on my part
but when people die there is normally an investigation and someone is found guilty.
Also wouldn’t the planes be the only thing on the ship with rockets? Don’t the rockets need some kind of electrical charge to launch would dropping a rocket on the ground cause it to launch?
These are all interesting questions which normally I wouldn’t ask but 5 crashes makes me suspicious.

What about putz?

And that is NOW, when we don’t need to be burning fuel oil to warm the houses. Wait for November, folks.

What did he call his own wife a Trollup?

time/energy

I’m sure she called him that too, but I agree. It’s not the same thing at all.

Even W has a more progressive idea of women than McCain, and that is not a compliment to W.

To be fair, Hillary has probably referred to her husband as an asshole.

In public? It makes a difference.

Ah, so. Yes, I misread.

I agree, we can’t fixate on it. That group isn’t our only concern and they MIGHT not be our biggest concern. Our biggest concern may well be connecting to rural middle-of-the-road who aren’t really comfortable with Obama.

Boxturtle (Manageable, if he speaks to them after Hillary introduces him)

She does. In a way, that hurts more than it helps. Why does she support McCain and say that she likes him and that he is the best candidate? They have a child together - that’s one thing. What’s another?

Only his wife.

As I understand it, he was just a pilot in a plane that got hit by the accidental firing of a rocket from another aircraft. That caused the explosion that caused the fire that killed all the sailors. So, I don’t think it had anything at all to do with anything he did other than he was able to escape before his plane exploded. I’m sure there was an investigation.

Good Goddess, I would never have believed that!

Boxturtle (Though they say that motorcycle gang girls actually LIKE being trated like that)

and a *unt.

True but at this late date any switch would show the GOP as desperate which they are, they need John to have a heart attack or something so he can bow out gracefully. But could any GOPer beat Obama now? Who would want to run now when in four years the odds might be much better.
Even Mitt can’t compete with Obama’s cash and he owns a hedgefund.

ok

Hi Redd

Nice combing of the voting record. Bet there’s a lot more there to mine.

NOW That’s What I Call Sexism!©

Bush’s fake military record didn’t hurt him in his elections. McCains’s record won’t hurt him. In fact, his POW time helps his legend. Since the military events happened 40 years ago, it’s bette
