Uh-oh. Here’s John McCain’s latest commercial, and I have to say, I think it’s a game changer. Very, very devastating. I don’t see how Obama is going to respond to this. Wow.
(Note: this is OF COURSE a 100% TRUE REAL McCain commercial and NOT a parody put together by irresponsible hippies.)
DISCLAIMER: No actual scary black men were harmed in the making of this ad. h/t Ollie.

hi thers
withdrawing this comment after reading the last line in the post
in the words of gilda… never mind
Digg!
I noticed watertiger’s name in the credits
Yeah! Send us money!
some guy over at whiskey fire too neuro. them dfh’s are everywhere
My name came first. By contract! (We fought about this and all through the shoot my people & her people wouldn’t even go to each others’ trailers.)
Whiskey Fire? That lame-o blog…? ;-)
I have been getting some MySQL-Link warnings
whatever those are
routine maintenance?
I got to go to bed soon, so I wanted to ask if anyone knew, Who got stuck with enormous cost of tearing down the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant in Oregon? That is a cost of nuclear power that no one talks about.
hiccups
I thought the Sandman stayed up late, past everyone else, and went around putting them all to sleep…*g*
Hide the white women. A dirty old man named McCain is on the loose.
Same here. Also, is it already reported that (show text) doesn’t work — at least in Safari?
Look, I’m open-minded, but I draw the line at nuclear-powered Trojans.
I. Draw. The. Line.
hide the rich young blondes, az – he has standards yanno
show text and the new comment notification are on the fritz. tech crew is aware.
they know that, and it is widespread.
try IE, it sometimes works for me
Commies post there!
OK. Thanks. I wondered if it was another Mac-unfriendly manifestation rearing its head . . . or, heading up the rear. Or something.
Stupid Mets.
no, I don’t think so. I’m not on a mac.
Hey, Thers! Did you guys check out the $120,000 motorsicles?
tis a non-discriminatory glitch affecting all browsers :(
Watertiger!
Thers!
Satire you can believe in
Satire you can believe in, my friends
server errors
Heh, and a bunch of commies are on the blog roll too…! ;-)
“The Indian Chief”…?
A light-weight BMW – now that is new
we are having some hiccups – they seem to go away when ya do a hard refresh
tech squad is aware
evening all.
McCain plays “the dozens!”
Dugg – Hi Thers!
I’m of the firm opinion that all fdl glitches should be of the non-discriminatory kind. ;>)
Yay! Dirty Fucking Hippies!
Howdy, Tex!
we now have the informed word
(i was just assuming that mySQL errors were server side)
i wholeheartedly agree oregondave
Clearly an insidious plot to keep the TRUTH about Obama from making it ti Teh Peeeples
And here as well.
i had to watch that video twice
we are heading into uncharted waters now
where real racism and legitimate criticism may be difficult to distinguish
operative criteria
“if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck”
started by a libural pinko commies subversive no doubt
reading my comment i made a leap which might not be clear
the video does not walk, quack or look like a duck
it is funny
Howdy. You made it over to the new place yet? Don’t bookmark it though —- seems we may be getting a beach house instead.
Faux news is the extreme edge of this Overton Window, prepping the masses (26%) for the onslaught of filth.
Nice.
I hates Teh Commies.
Betsy – if you change your url reference, you won’t have to remind us so often.
You’re moving over here…? ;-)
faux news is a gop propoganda distribution machine and not the fourth estate
A hard refresh — is that where everyone takes a chug from the ol’ cider jug. Good cure for hiccups, BTW.
The Mets are annoying me.
Maureen Dowd has outdone herself. I will admit to liking her snark occasionally.
just how long is that line
(did I just ask that?)
love the voice
hahaha
i’m gonna be needing that jug before the night is over
I don’t know, I took it very, very, very seriously. not.
That’s watertiger, who is damn good with accents.
Our next video might perhaps be scurrilous.
OK. Just did.
Cassie is AT that game. Or was.
Btw, does anybody remember me mentioning that Obama was coming to Hawaii in August? I think I mentioned he was gonna spend a week, well…
Oh, please yes! Very, very, please. 8-)
So are my BoSox… They just lost another one to the Evil Empire… FTFY!!!
Got to meet Watertiger in Austin. What a kick!
It is worse than you know.
The Cards just had Looper pinch hit…?
Freaky.
Thers – Inquiring minds want to know, what is “steam some crabs” a euphemism for?
Could be, CTuttle. Get your camera handy! Could be, too, that he just wants to remind all you islanders that he’s a native son.
Also, I guess his sister (who lives in Hawaii and is Caucasian/Asian blend) is doing some campaigning on his behalf.
What a cool family!
German reporter says Obama’s workwout t-shirt smells like fabric softener with spring scent… Obama fop, sissy or elitist?…. Will regular scent voters be insulted?…. Was no-sweat workout a fake?… DEVELOPING….
I know he has one fundraiser scheduled and he does plan on visiting his Grandma… However, I live on a different Isle…! ;-)
Hee hee. Just messing with Duncan.
See, I get to ruin multiple blogs!
the bride and groom head your way tomorrow ct for their honeymoon. his first trip so they are doing the whole waikiki thang
Actually, the latest McCain ad is a lying smear that says Obama skipped visiting military hospital because there would be no photo op.
Actually, Pentagon refused visit at last minute. McCain has had to cancel visits for the very same reason. See TPM blog post today for video, which I could barely stand to watch.
So, another example of McCain’s high minded, respecful and dignified campaigning. Good thing McCain smears and lies are so transparent and easy to shoot down.
On the bright side, McCain is trying to get elected via Bush/Rove low road, but he is teetering on the edge of falling into MeanOldBobDole territory. Except BobDole seemed infinitely smarter, informed and quicker on his feet, and could tell a joke well, even a mean one.
So, there is hope.
Some have suggested that Obama should have arranged to make a private visit on short notice. I am not sure if that would be possible, with security arrangements, and other issues.
Cool, are they gonna check out the Polynesian Cultural Center?
OMG! What fun for your daughter and son-in-law! (Assuming they got a babysitter…)
Tell her to be careful with her wedding ring. I lost mine in the waves of Waikiki! (It was an omen…)
they are headed to a luau but is not sure if it is at the hotel or the PCC.
Goddamn Mets.
the girls flew back to their mom’s the beginning of the week. will do, loohoo… no omens needed
ftfy
Suzanne,
A luau is a luau! And I hope everyone has fun.
Too funny. You must check out Frank Rich.
Funny how that worked out isn’t it? Bush DoD suddenly at the last minute realizes they cannot allow campaign staff on the military base. Even odder since they did allow McCain to make similar visits to military bases with his campaign staff.
OK, niters all. Goddamn Mets.
That is not unusual at all…! You’re not the first I’ve heard that from…! ;-)
Trying again on the Frank Rich.
BTW has anyone seen SteveAR? He said he’d been in the hospital for some cancer issue, and I worry.
Bad link, Loo Hoo. Is it this one?
Night Thers.
what comprises the whole waikiki thang?
Aloha, Thers! Mahalo for the post!
even being from KS, which suffered for many years the embarassment of being “represented” by Bob Dole–I would have minded a Dole preznitzy much less than I think I would mind a McInsane one…
Strolling down the beach, gazing at Diamond Head, going to a luau and buying matching Aloha shirts…! ;-)
ooh, how festive!
So, another example of McCain’s high minded, respecful and dignified campaigning.
Rove protege Steve Schmidt(sp?) gettin’ into full shit-flingin’ campaign mode.
Do you mean BobDole? THAT BobDole.
Maybe we can get them to switch. Poor old BobDole is the designated GOP party elder hatchet man, and that puts him in his worst light. I agree, I would feel much safer with some one like BobDole running, but even that is beyond the current GOP?
Slightly obscene, hysterically funny puppy youtube.
g’nite thers
its a honeymoon – if they go shopping, they are doing it wrong
However, a classic scene I’ve seen happen for time immemorial, is some pale ha’ole will head straight out to the beach, lie in the sun for two or more hours, get crispy crittered and spend the rest of the week in sheer agony…! Never fails…! ;-)
And you get leis, which you have to figure out how to press for memorysake. And Hawaiian music CD. And grass skirt with coconut bra, if you want to go all the way. Surfing lesson and snorking.
i pointed that out to her – she said they got some one gazillion sfp sunscreen for people who ordinarily glow in the dark
Good night firepups.
thank you, kind sir.
hey fun to see you so late, I’m being bad
was just about asleep but made the mistake of listening to GWB with the Olympians and started raving so I had to take a dip in the clear cool waters of the Lake.
Night Betsy.
ooo, I actually get to say goodnite to the dumpster muffin!
sleep well
pain free sleep wishes, texmuffin
And another luau, if you can squeeze it in, And a Hawaiian BBQ place. Check out a corn beef dish. Get some corn beef sushi.
Lazy trip deep into the country side.
Shot of brde and groom eating poi together.
Embarrassing shot of newlyweds with flirtatious Hawiian dancers.
Did I forget anything. I guess nothing that I can mention.
Since I quoted the wrong pup, I’m glad somebody got the Rich piece.
Yeah – well past your bedtime, Elliott!
Good night! Wait till you see the graphic I put together for tomorrow’s dumpster dive. Way too cute.
Aloha, Muffin! Pain free sleep wishes…! *g*
nite betsy
You’ve got that down pat…! Start calling ya a Kama’aina! ;-0
Hey Ms. Elliot! Sometimes it’s fun to be bad.
I’ve only heard, tho….:)
hey ellie – nice seeing ya here on the dark side
Hiya All,
What a weekend. I’m listening to Ben Folds on Austin, laughed myself silly on SNL. And totally caught up with front pages from the Newseum pages.
Do ya have the LLN honors tonite, Suz?
if its saturday, its suz doing toons :)
white people can be completely stupid. stoopid. Like totally, ya know, stoooooopedo. Jeebus.
I kin say that cus I am a white person.
ahh, but the sweet arms of Morpheus beckon…
Grandparents and an aunt and uncle got married and had honeymoon there, so I know the old school drill. I’ve only gone to visit friends, so am just relating the strange Hawaiian marriage ceremonies of my my white bread ancensters.
However, one magical thing, my aunt and uncle brought back 3-D viewmaster slides. I was so young I barely remember it. And somehow, I remember, just as I was getting old enough to appreciate it, a couple of pictures of Hawaiian beauties sitting under waterfalls got mixed in the the memorabilia -and they had LOST THEIR COCONUTS! They disappeared very quickly after a fuss.
That old fashioned Hawaii tourist thing is one thing that would be still be fun to do. Judging from the wedding plans reported here, I guess you can still do one of them. I better get on that before I visit again!
isn’t that a front for a mormon recruitment effort?
nite ellie
read you in the morning
That’s it! Thanks.
toon will be there waiting for ya in the morning ellie just like i’ll be reading ya when i get up in the afternoon
I would imagine so…! ;-)
What comprised Waikiki for me was that the mother in law paid for the flight and the hotel. That should have been an omen…

i loved those old 3d viewmasters
spent many a happy afternoon holed up with all the reels, clicking from one to the next, putting in another. hours and hours of quiet time for my parents.
Boo. I don’t find Randy Newman’s Maybe I’m Doing It Wrong on YouTube…
I’m off to slumberland as well. Take care and enjoy (but beware of scary black men).
True, it funds BYU-H, but, it is very beneficial to many Polynesians and Micronesians, since they offer the various islanders working scholarships to attend college and work in the Center… The Center also promotes all the various cultures and enshrines their ways… It’s a very authentic portrayal of the cultures and a big win-win for everybody…!
goodnight, muff in Texas.
g’nite dr no pause dick
You entirely forgot the Mai Tais. Lots of fruit and umbrellas.
Why is it that so many really white people are overweight? Sad, but you can pick out Americans in other countries.
no more don ho so that show is gone. is where i had my first mai tai
He was a true Amabassador of Aloha…! RIP…
As goes California, so goes the nation?
Suz, they’re going to have a magical honeymoon. How could anyone NOT in Hawaii?!
Nature at her best…
it was hokey but it was a tradition – had to see ho when in hawaii on your first trip is what i was told
Yep, sorry. The booze. I forgot the food. I got stuck on those poor Hawaiian ladies looking for their coconut bras under the waterfalls.
One thing before I go to sleep, though. I do love Hawaiin food, and the countryside. I guess it was those 3-D pictures I saw when I was so young, and then being able to go see the beautiful countryside.
My family was totally into veiwmaster slides for the kids. So when I was young I fell in love with Grand Canyon, Glacier, Banff, Olympic and Hawaii through viewmaster slides.
My heaven will be spent shuttling between Lake Louise and Hawaii, doing it in style, old school all the way.
Listening to Hawaiian steel geetar!
My parents recently moved to MS. My mother is horrified at how fat the people are and their tattoos.
Oh god, don’t remind me. I just joined Kaiser Permanente (cuz there was no monthly fee) and the doc says my cholesterol is too high. Maybe California is on to something.
***Great words for Kaiser. No doctor EVER has asked for a cholesterol test…and she’s making me do everything else too. Nothing but great things to say about Kaiser. They are going to be the model for single payer.***
i’ve had very good care with kaiser – love my internist and am gonna miss her
Heh, I’ve been to the Chateau Lake Louise and skied Banff…The Canadian Rockies are gorgeous!
It ain’t the cholesterol that will kill you. It is the lack of folic acid.
Folic acid prevents the cholesterol from sticking to the arteries. You don’t need drugs, you need folic acid.
disclaimer:
I am not a doctor. I am a googler.
Bacon!!!
The bigger the ass,
The more canvas???
LLN time…
That’s the understatement of the year ! *g*
Evenin’ all !
I’d like to go old school high class some day. When I was a kid it was with the Rocky Mountain branch of the family, and in some cabin, which is fine -I loved it. Then later backpacking.
Sooo…. I check out the cost of a high story room with a view at Lake Louise OUCH!!! Makes the Awhanhee in Yosemite seem like a Motel 6, or 8, or whatever it is. You get the idea. But someday I will do it, along with old school Hawaiian trip with all the trimmings.
Very cool. Do try to get to Lake Maggiore.
how do you get your folic acid?
No Kaiser in Oregon?
Tell me about the folic acid supplements(?)
She didn’t put me on drugs, she put me on a diet with NO CHEESE, except cottage cheese, etc.
I might prefer the drugs to starving. Guess I’ll need another cookbook!
Maggiore -sounds Italian. Yes I would like to do that too, old school high style. But, you are going to break me! You suggest that kind of thing, you please do let me on some cheap deals, for humanities sake, or I will start crying.
I only have the funds to do a few old school high style trips, appropriately spaced apart in order to limit the damage.
OK, I sleep now, dreaming of lots of high style trips to swank joints, with gorgeous food, elegant booze and beautiful scenery.
And I just learned the old Italian way of using bacon too.
1. Fry the bacon in a little olive oil until done but not crispy
2. Drain and add your veges (any you have on hand…asparagas, celery, green beans, cabbage, potato, whatever, but include fresh tomato and herbs you like.
3. Cook the pasta and mix with the sauce
4. Toss in parmigiano and Romano
(Since you’re using nice veges and such, buy a good pasta)
***This is not on my diet, but what the hell do I do with the food in the house?***
I haven’t seen enough of America. I really need to see all the federal parks before Chevron gets to them.
Nighters, wesgpc.
I’m sure there’s some Hoity-Toity name for this if you use pancetta instead of bacon.
Yum.
