zed!

You rule, Eli!

i’m so glad our country and world don’t have any serious problems to deal with. /s

JohnnyMac thinks “No Child Left A Mind” was a pretty nifty program.

NCLB was a “first beginning.” He’s saying we need a second beginning?

McC just lost all the teachers and administrators – vouchers.

flying fingers and fast thinking.

No he’s pushing for the ’second coming’

Ha!

Down Syndrome is not autism, kthx JJ.

Why is this whiny man still on my TV? He should get off and let President Obama speak.

(BTW, Sundown Syndrome has set in.)

Sarah Palin’s “special” child is her POW card.

McCain: talking about accountability and transparency. Anyone else find that funny coming from a Republican?

*sigh*

Why does Sarah Palin know about autism? Has she done work in that area, or is Mc confusing Downs Syndrome with autism?

So Sarah also has an autistic child beside having one with Trac’s problems?

They each get 90 seconds to give a closing statement. Johnny will ramble.

Sarah’s baby is what 6 months old? She knows shit.

YUP!

McCain’s ending on education… just where Obama began.

Gosh, I think McSame’s transformation to a wingnut is now complete.

Bad timing for him, I think. ;)

obama is nodding indulgently at mcnuts like you do with an oldhead that has lost touch with reality

Why does McC keep talking about Palin and autism? Does he not know the difference between autism and Down’s Syndrome?

you forgot a word: reform

CNN’s pundits are more or less evenly split on how their doing here.

Does Cranky know the difference between autism and Downs Syndrome?

If only my mouth didn’t outrun my brain, well, I’d be doing alright. Thank you for the good wishes downstairs.

Johnnie boy writes with a sharpie

Todd

Yes, he’s forgotten the phrase “Down Syndrome”.

why are rethugs obsessed with vouchers?

Not funny johhnny no one gets your wacky jokes.

Yup. Close the failed schools and replace them with charter schools. That shouldn’t cost too much money.

Boo yah. Closing statements. Can’t happen soon enuf.

I do not support school vouchers! It disrupts the public school system! They need to deal with the public schools and upgrade them all!

Senator Grouchypants is interrupting again. Time-out in the corner for Sen. Grouchypants…no cookies and milk for you, my friend!!

Sheesh. No manners.

John ends with a smarmy comment. Not a good way to end this.

Does McCain know there’s a difference between autism and Down’s Syndrome? He seems to be conflating and not understanding what Mrs. Palin’s grandson has.

Cool. Obama gets the last word in the closing statements.

“Healthy Discussion”? That’s what you call a “healthy discussion”?

no

cuz they’re out to destroy the public schools, no brainer

dumb em down and feed em baloney

Stud maverick goes first.

McCain is a dick. (Eli)

Eli gets the prize for most succinct summary of this debate.

You’re not my fucking friend.

(((RonD and family))) and all who are dealing with health troubles tonight.

how am I ever gonna be able to come up with any other name for johnny other than “McInsane”?

I hate being so tied down.

McShame takes on both parties – how is he going to get anything done

McCain running away from Bush: “We have to change the way we’ve done business the last 8 years.”

sqiggly lines are so-so

Oh, I forgot about him. Otoh, I thought he was ADHD!

CAREFUL STEWARDS OF YOUR TAX DOLLAR? PULLEEESE

McCain can’t form a complete sentence. Sundowning.

McCain’s closing statement: Ignore your lying eyes and vote for me.

Because they’re obsessed with home-schooling, so that’s a free $5,000+ check each year.

Long line of McCains.

Typically they allow tax dollars to go to religious schools.

McCain’s graphs look like Cheney’s cardiograph. _________________________

We need a change from the last 8 years? Remind me again: Which party is John McCain from?

Now McCranky wants to rein in spending? ROTFL!

Country first. 1,271 pages of medical records…last

hard to beat a classic.

how bout “former presidential candidate”?

Long line of McCains, is that like the McBush’s?

If people really believed we shouldn’t spend money on schools, they wouldn’t break their backs trying to get into the schools districts that have plenty of money.

Wow, McSnarly is stumbling in his final closing words, mixing up words, mispronouncing, stumbling.

Mr. tbsa and I said the same thing.

I think this is what Mc was talking about wrt Palin & autism.
http://adventuresinautism.blog…..ation.html

oooh, I just found two more socks!

man that guy has some serious dry eye

Did McGrumpy say he wanted to make healthcare avoidable?

obama has the most beautiful skin color

Obama hanging Bush around McCain’s neck.

ROTFLMAO

uh…okay.

Watching McCain is extremely painful. So, I went to check out FoxNews Forum… More crazies there than here, go figure…

‘ got one of your socks here… I think!

how bout “former presidential candidate”?

lol. gawd, I look forward to that one…

great. so vouchers are Rethug subsidy for the American taleban.

fundamental change would mean something different than the last 30 years. but at this point, something different than the last 8 years would be nice.

McCain: We need a change from the last 8 years.

Obama: You’re right! Vote for me!

He was avoiding it before he afforded it

i hope obama takes a nice vacay after all this. he’s working really hard. anybody see the frontline last night on these two.? pretty interesting. though i have axes to grind witht hose frontline folks.

How’s your pitching arm?

BTW, anybody know if the Phillies are still winning the game going on now?

ah-ha!!!

That’s why McGeezer really wanted town halls, would likely have had more during the day when his sundowner’s was less obvious!!

(agh my linux laptop is going bonkers now, too, keyboard acting flaky. good thing this debacle is nearly over.)

classy close

Yeah. We’re there now.

Nice Obama wrap-up.

Yes, Bob. Leave us now.

Done!

McCain’s graphs look like Cheney’s cardiograph.

_

Actually I thought McCain’s squiggly lines were better than Obama’s at the end.

My son nails it! Mcinsane sounds like The Penguin!

I don’t think it’s possible.

i had to turn the tv off

glad that was only a game show and not a presidential debate. otherwise i’d be really bummed right now.

McCAin looked like he wanted to rebut Obama’s closing statement. That was weird.

I so dislike this McCain guy. He even has that cackle like Bush. … I don’t have the great faith in OB that some here do, but I hope those that have that faith are right.

I wasn’t watching — did they shake hands?

This was like Neo sloughing off bullets from the evil agents in _Matrix_. McCain loses, bigtime.

Oh hallelujah thank you it’s over.
No handshake again? Jeez.

Well, McShame must have learned from his last episode not to ignore or act the fool after the debate!

Phillies UP 5:1

” ahhh, my big red wife is back “

He does. He’s a really handsome guy.

Stephano: McCain’s best debate blah, blah, blah.

McGrumpy acted like he completely didn’t know where he should go after the debate ended. Is that worse or better than fleeing the floor???

He doesn’t care.

McCain had an awkward pause in one of his closing sentences that made it “a question of who you trust… to be good stewards of your money” or some such. I really liked the way it came out, since it sounded like he was saying voters should decide based on who they trust. With all his lies, that’s Obama, hands down.

(Poetic Licence)

thanks all!

Cindy and John don’t have a healthy marriage….note the difference between them adn BO and Michelle.

Any comments about McCain’s repeated sticking out his tongue after the close? Lizard? Or playful?

Yes, McShame was very deliberate about it. His snub from last time seemed to be a learned response!

Woooo Hoooo!

Don’t wanna jinx it, but it looks like they’re heading for the World Series!!! Be still, my heart.

So…what d’yall objectively think? Did McCain help himself?
No, really. Not what we want, but what is.

David Brooks is wearing a lovely peach lipstick. Matches his tie. Prehhhhtty.

David brooks sez mccain presented as a guy you wouldn’t want to look at for 4 years.

Why doesn’t O ever ask him about the Indian Affairs Committee, Abramoff & the unreleased Records?

As it develops, Gary Chavez has more on this at Huffpo:

“McCain had only released 1% of the 745,000 pages of the Abramoff documents — e-mails, billing records, memos, etc. — that McCain had subpoenaed.”

CSPAN 100% on McCain – what’s up with that?

glad that was only a game show and not a presidential debate. otherwise i’d be really bummed right now.

McCain won this hands down. This was the Nasty Angry Old Man contest, right?

they loathe each other you can tell

Hey, just checking in. I just want to say that I’m having a hard time and I’m angry.

I wasn’t watching — did they shake hands?

Yes, you could tell he’d been coached to play nice.

An’ my Dodgers, as usual, when it counts got no stick.

Dry mouth; what you never smoked reefer or did speed?

Shorter Begala: If Gore lost because of his reaction shots, then McCain imploded.

pat buchanan sez mccain won!

Buchanon…McCain won hands down

Thanks for the feedback, that’s the only thing I was still curious about.

And thanks to all Pups for sharing this last debate time together. It’s the only way to stay sane throughout it!

And Grampy McSnarly, sheesh, a monster just in time for Halloween…he gives me nightmares….

Pat Buchanadana gives it to McInsane.

knock me over with a feather.

Did anyone notice a McC line that was sorta a throw-away about immigration? I thought it sounded like something that would drive the fundies crazy.

Wow, even David Gergen thought McCain looked angry.

mccain just looked REALLY nasty on cspan

Yes! He said, “Do you really wanna LIVE with this guy for 4 years?” Surprised me.

Eli!!!! Great liveblogging. Thanks.

pourquoi?

No, he did not.

But then that was a Mission Impossible without a personality transplant (elective surgery!) for McCain.

LOL. isn’t that what all the pundits are saying?

I’m stunned.

Bucannon wrong again…

love ya’ll. thanks for bein here.

let’s all drop our Gs for lent!

I’m angry too.

Check out this video by Randy Pausch…it’ll energize you.

Peace.

I cannot stand Amy Walter of the Hotline.

My spouse and I have lost more money in our retirement accounts, even with careful, proactive management, than I made last year and this year combined.

I don’t know how anything McCain said in the three debates could ever encourage me to trust him that any part of those losses could be recouped under his leadership.

(EvilDrPuma) what’s up?

There is literally not one thing to like about Mcnutjob.

McCain told me so four times, so it must be true.

Whoa! Grand Junction, CO just called McCain out on being a coward

Colbert did a nice segment on lizard tongue McCain last week.

I’ve certainly had cottonmouth. I didn’t see McCain drinking water, but typically water is available.

wmd1961 – Any comments about McCain’s repeated sticking out his tongue after the close? Lizard? Or playful?

Frankly what really icked me out was that short period of time when he was standing there with his mouth hanging wide open. Honestly listening to him was better than watching that.

A little correction..

Dry Cotton mouth; what you never smoked reefer or did speed?

CSPAN caller laying the assault on the USS Liberty at McCain’s father’s feet. I wasn’t expecting that.

Ah, I see! He was being bipartisan!

Tweety agrees with me about McCrazy screwing up the abortion-health of the mother issue.

No problem. Good to see you.

Oh, my condolences!

Being a Phillies fan for decades, I know how painful it is to yell “the bumz!!!” at the teevee screen every year….

I’m pinching myself right now, can the Phils really do it?

MSNBC already has Obama a 84% to 14% winner…!

:)

me neither, you talk about a punk. too much notoriety too fat. big ego, little substance.

McCain’s aggressive demeanor helps him in these debates…….but he doesn’t win on policies.

Obabma misses A LOT of easy opportunities to score points against McNasty.

He’s TOO NICE sometimes.

Holy Cow. Even the FOX people think McCain sucked.

If McCain interrupted one more time, I think my brain would have imploded. Other than that, I’m fine.

We lost our childrens college fund and then some. Fuck McCain.

McCain is a dick (Eli)

As opposed to?

Mrs. Fuck-up-the-economy thinks McCain had a strong night.

andrea mitchell thinks mccain had a strong night

what was she watching?

mrs greenspan is having an orgasm over mccain’s performance

I think that if you supported McC before the debate, you still do. But I don’t think he switched any votes to his column. So, Obama wins the election.
In Obama’s case, he may have reassured (again) those that suspect he’s an arab terrorist. (Who are these people?)

McSFB = The Old White Dope

Where did you see that?

A couple of kids just called into CSPAN, under 18, to talk about the debates. Cool.

Gah! I can’t find any remotely decent reaction polls (CNN.com doesn’t like my computer). Suggestions?

Mrs. Greenspan praises McCain’s performance. Color me shocked.

“Debate goes to John McCain.” What kind of crack is she on?

did we win? :)

Andrea MCGreenspin,thinks McCain won…they musta lost alotta money this week

That’s called “conference mouth” from smoking too many cigarettes.;) ((Word))

Is there any way to find out how much babble time McCain was allowed as opposed to Obama?

I actually do think this was McShame’s best performance, which is not saying much. I still think Obama was the winner!

does it help to think that the last “debate” is over and that mcsame is going to get clobbered in november?

glad there were no explosions. *g*

And good to see you again, too, Ann!!!

Hey pupsters!! Gotta go make dinner while watching the final innings at the same time….smooches to y’all — you’re the best company in these here toobz…

mrs greenspan is having an orgasm over mccain’s performance

She really gets off on wrinkled old guys.

I dunno. I was trying to think of something to pun off the Tubes but White Dopes on Punk just doesn’t quite get it.

mrs greenspan is having an orgasm over mccain’s performance

hey, ya can’t begrudge her one every ten years or so….

Caller on CSPAN:” This debate confirmed my decision to support Ralph Nader.”

she’s watching reruns of her hubby mumbling about irrational exuberance.

As has happened after all of the debates, the media are trying hard to spin this as a Republican win.

here…

ROFL … ((( EDP )))

Done that too – way, way back in the day.

Probably doesn’t happen often. :)

Andrea Mitchell is talking fast and making shit up about who has the more negative ads.

Her husband helped create the strong economy we have now. She said he won the last debate as well.

OMG, Harold Ford & Mike Murphy coming up. I think I’ll go paint the living room.

That was the 15 year-old, but he did know why

OH, for heaven’s sake, there is an actual Joe the Plumber. I take back my F&^k Joe the Plumber. I was just sick of the hokey use of it.

http://politicalticker.blogs.c…..ef=topnews

Anything can happen but there ain’t a lot of innings left.

I’m a Dodger fan who defected from the hometown Senators a loooooong time ago but the Rays are now my hometown team so it looks like I’m gonna be 1 fer 2. I’ll take it.

my fave

RonD Caller on CSPAN:” This debate confirmed my decision to support Ralph Nader.”

The caller said he was 15.

What is she smokin’?

McCan’t did turn in a better than average performance, but that’s no compliment.

What???

I agree with you.

New post – wrapup

Wow!

Am I reading this right – ? Does Johnny think Sarah’s child has AUTISM?? It’s Down’s syndrome – mental retardation – it is NOT autism. What a clueless chump.

I used The Great White Dope earlier but like Old better cuz he ain’t so great. Although, on second thought he is a pretty great dope. Gotta quit smokin’ this shit.

Loo Hoo. – What???

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. The person that called into CSPAN and said the debate helped him choose who he’d vote for was a 15 year old boy.

My 16, 13 & 11 year old are Obama fans.

ROFL

Do you hear this idiot on C-span?

I see. I was watching MSNBC.

Yes, the 15 year old boy was a CSPAN caller.

I wish Obama had said, there is no such thing as a pro-abortion group. It’s pro-choice. Someone needs to say it once and for all.

nonplussed – sorry, I misread your comment. Hey 90 minutes of McSmirk, I’m a little off my game.

I can’t watch CSPAN any longer!

McCain must have been seriously sharing whatever he was partaking of prior to the debate!

(eyes officially crossed)

@Audrey

He did say no one is pro-abortion. But McDumbfuck got the last word, so he got to call us prochoicers “pro abortion”

finally Dugg sorry it took so long, I was having a conversation, in between throwing socks at St McCain on the TV.

Also Sarah Palin’s nephew (her sister Heather’s child) has autism. They try to push the idea that she is some great advocate of special needs children because of this. Which I believe was not really the case in Alaska.

Of course, McCain should still know the difference or at least which condition Trig Palin has.

I think I got all the socks, finally.

Of course, doing the McNutjob drinking game with scotch may not have been my smartest decision.

Pitching arm is good (bounced some, with a great deal of authority, off the window…aim, not so good actually)
