What a great promo!

John McCain condums are very old, inflexible, and are unwise.

McCain’s surprise ad.

What a good idea – clapping for Planned Parenthood.

I guess they mean that you need to make McBush put one of them little rubber things on his dick afore he FUCKS ya?

Can’t think of any other way to understand it.

Sound card’s dead so no joy.

Ian!

Against the thuglicans, laughter remains the best prophylactic …

It renders them impotent, and is guaranteed to work every time.

OT:

Did anyone see the new McCrazy add.
He tells Obama job well done.

Yeah.

I guess it’s hard for him to look sincere when he’s chewing glass. What a stupid ad.

But I know what it says.

Trying to make sure he does not appear racist….
This is a very stupid ad

Cecile Richards–Planned Parenthood Action Fund–DNC speech on Monday:

http://www.thebostonchannel.co…..k+Obama%22

Short Ride paid for it. Had to balance out what he gave the Dems.

What do you think, Raven, will this ad earn big points for Mc$ame?

How nice and thoughtful he will seem to those who have never seen his anger or mean-spiritedness.

Such a nice, friendly man …

If you want to tell someone they did a good job, you call them and tell them, you don’t take out an ad with a veiled threat to “go back at it” the next day…

McBush is so vile.

Will these keep Lieberweasel and McBush from reproducing?

I’ll say it here what I just said downstairs, it’s sarcastic, it’s insincere, but some people don’t do nuance.

It’s pretty clear that with all the gooper brain power in the room- this was the best use they could come up with for the balance of the war chest- which needs to be emptied by next week….

Pretty sad.

Exactly.

The ad is very condescending. blegh

mebbe so, but prepare to hear these swoons in the coming hours from his media weasels -

“the maverick has returned”

“this is the reach-across-the-aisle John McCain we all know and love”

“the iconoclast does it again”

The small print says that the condoms are lubricated- that’s a nice touch.

It doesn’t say if the condoms glow in the dark- but I suspect that they do.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. I don’t find much of what McCain does these days to be honorable, but I thought this was.

A big shout out for Planned Parenthood!! Hope they do the same in St. Paul.

The bad news is, thinking about John McCain causes the condom to fall off.

Vile, maybe. But how TeamObama responds will define the ads value. Passive-aggressive gets it done for the Goopers, so while it’s not ‘nice’, it doesn’t mean it won’t have the desired effect.

And If the roles were reversed, I would run exactly that ad in the other direction.

Being a post woman here, I still want to run out and find some protection. Ewwww.

Well that brings up the question again–WHO is supposed to WEAR the condom—I mean —Who’s fuckin WHO here!

agreed. Ironic that he would even talk about how ‘historic’ the day is given his record for obstructing a King holiday. meh.

McShame has got to get rid of all that money by next week since he is using public financing

I showed Jesse your hattip, he says we are most welcome to the power source. It’s been fun getting to know the Group News Blog folks.

The McCain campaign is handing out condoms too but in deference to evangelical voters they are open at both ends.

Very patronizing: “Job well done” — especially since he hasn’t heard Obama’s speech.

Ooooh, Kay BHutchison just said she has the utmost respect for Joe Lieberman, but that the GOP ticket should be Republicans. Maybe Harry Reid’s work will be done for him?

It’s nice that GNB shares power with FDL today, makes me feel like Gilly’s there with you all.

Are they McCondums

The ad is clever.

It lets McSame appear gracious while continuing to spew his venemous bile just as he has done all through the campaign. Now all his minions will say, “See? We spent money making an ad to congratulate Obama. We’re all love and hugs.”

I guess McSame really does have to burn through a lot of primary money before next week.

over at the blue cherub they’re reporting a secret service security sweep of Mitten’s sister’s house?

Oh, the agoniste at Paw-lenty’s place right now….

yeah, and they can save it…for November 5.

McBush condoms—any argument can blow a hole in em.

I’ve got pawlenty of nothin

Looks like Karl Rove’s WAR STUNT on McCain’s behalf in Georgia has caught up with him:

August 28, 2008, 20:13
U.S. may have staged Georgian conflict – Putin

In an interview with CNN Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict may have been staged to secure a victory for one of the presidential candidates in the U.S. He says preliminary reports show that U.S. citizens may have been present in the combat zone.

“We have serious reasons to believe that American citizens were right at the heart of the military action. This would have implications for American domestic policy. If this is confirmed, we will have grounds to suspect that somebody in the U.S. has created this conflict to aggravate the situation and create a competitive advantage for one of the presidential candidates”.

Russia’s Prime Minister also commented on the media coverage of the recent events.

“As far as the perception of these events by the general public goes, it depends not only on politicians, but also on how artful they are in controlling the mass media. And our American colleagues do this much better than we do and there’s a lot we can learn from them”.

Putin stressed that Russia did not attack and cannot be portrayed as an aggressor.

“We didn’t attack anyone, we were attacked and therefore we need guarantees that we won’t be attacked again, and that our citizens won’t be killed. They are trying to present us as aggressors”.

The Prime Minister has given a detailed chronology of the events between August 7 and 10.

“On 7 August, at 14:42, the Georgian peacekeepers left the headquarters of the peacekeeping forces under the pretext that they’d received orders from their commanders to leave their posts, and they never returned.

One hour later, heavy artillery shelling began.

At 22:35 a massive bombardment of Tsklhinval started. At 22:50 the transfer of Georgian ground troops started to the combat area. At the same time Georgian field hospitals were set up.

And at 23:30 the Brigadeer General commanding the Georgian peacekeeping forces announced that Georgia has declared a war against South Ossetia. They announced this publicly, looking straight into the TV cameras.

At that point we tried to contact the Georgian leadership, but everyone refused to talk to us.

At 12:45 AM on the 8th of August the Georgian commander repeated his statement. So who attacked whom?”

GOT WAR CRIMES, KARL?

We probably shouldn’t poke fun. For four years McCain was a POW and had no condoms. Well, just some that were manufactured in the Soviet Union out of the same material used for tractor tires.

McBush condoms get all bent out of shape whenever confronted.

Yeah but the Mickey Mouse ears are a nice touch.

For five years McBush had to use the SAME condom- and no dry cleaner to send it out to.

… just the condom? sorry.. can’t help myself.

Teddy upstairs!
“Nothing was ever accomplished by hiding in a dark corner.”

No dry cleaner? You sure he wasn’t a WH intern?

McBush condoms- extra large cause he’s a REALLY big prick.

McBush claims that for five years, his condom kept him from giving himself any diseases.

Didn’t graduate at the hind end of his class fer nothin!

In case it’s Romney, file this one away:

“Romney’s top 10 list includes some of McCain’s greatest hits – literally. In addition to dropping the f-bomb on fellow Republican Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and John Cornyn (R-TX), McCain “repeatedly” called New Mexico’s Pete Domenici an “a**hole.” While the Romney list features some comparatively minor McCain blow-ups towards Dick Cheney, Mitch McConnell and other leading lights of the GOP, it also claims that in 1995, John McCain “had a scuffle” with then 92-year old Strom Thurmond.

Here are the Romney campaign’s top 10 episodes of “the McCain way” of rage and fury. Only the heading for each is shown below; the details and list of references are provided in the full memo, which is available at the Boston Herald:

1. Defending His Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain Lost His Temper And Screamed, “F*ck You!” At Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
2. In 2000, Sen. McCain Ran An Attack Ad Comparing Then-Gov. George W. Bush To Bill Clinton.
3. Sen. McCain Repeatedly Called Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) an “A**hole,” Causing A Fellow GOP Senator To Say, “I Didn’t Want This Guy Anywhere Near A Trigger.”
4. Sen. McCain Had A Heated Exchange With Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) And Called Him A “F*cking Jerk.”
5. In 1995, Sen. McCain Had A “Scuffle” With 92-Year-Old Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) On The Senate Floor.
6. Sen. McCain Accused Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Of the “Most Egregious Incident” Of Corruption He Had Seen In The Senate.
7. Sen. McCain Attacked Christian Leaders And Republicans In A Blistering Speech During The 2000 Campaign.
8. Sen. McCain Attacked Vice President Cheney.
9. Celebrating His First Senate Election In 1986, Sen. McCain Screamed At And Harassed A Young Republican Volunteer.
10. Sen. McCain “Publicly Abused” Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL).”

Should provide some entertainment if Mr. LDS is the pick.

McBush wasn’t scuffling with ol Strom- he was havin sex with him. Another gooper cover up.

That makes me hope it’s Romney. Hee hee.

Has he ever had one of those hissy fits w/ a dem

Just in time for the Christmas Holiday…

It’s “GITMO IN A BOX!”

Available on Amazon? Nice for that special person in your life.

Good one!!!

Well, now isn’t this special…:

“New details have emerged about the ongoing US-Iraqi negotiations on keeping American troops in Iraq. Iraqi President Jalal Talabani told al-Hurra television the Bush administration has demanded approval to remain in Iraq until 2015.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani: “There is a written agreement. It was a US proposal for the date, which is 2015, and an Iraqi one, which is 2010. Then we agreed to make it 2011. Iraq has the right, if necessary, to extend the presence of these troops.”

The Bush administration has refused to comment on details of the talks.”

Iraq has the “right” to extend the presence of US troops???????

Excuuuuuuuuuuse me???

Must be a bassakwards way of sayin that troops can stay longer with Iraqi approval.

Maybe a 100 years

I thought Planned Parenthood had supported Short Ride Joe in 2006 and was thus on our s***list.

And by the way Russia get out of Georgia

Obama’s been sayin that we’d need to keep troops in Iraq to “protect the embassy” and some other misc. bullshit….what’s the status of THAT?

Russia kind of has a big PR problem on their hands. They called a meeting of their fellow authoritarian dictatorships’ club (The SCO), which consists of Russia, China and the Central Asian Republics. BBC was saying last night that they expected a rubber stamp from the others for overrun Georgia, but nobody was buying it and China actually lectured them about the importance of respecting national sovereignty. Medvedev not happy, apparently.

over running Georgia, I mean
