John who?

“No.More.Barbecues.For.You!”

*old creep shakes fist at no one in particular, arm falls off*

That damned librul media! Always videotaping things…

I supported McCain for president in 2000. Since then, he has reversed position on every issue. In 2008, he was still somewhat consistent on climate change and campaign finance reform after flip-flopping on almost everything else. Now he’s on the wrong side of every issue.

John McCain guarantees that not only has he not flip-flopped on any issue, he actually doesn’t remember most of his positions in the first place.

I’m not suggesting that McCain ever had a moral center even in 2000. But if he did, it has since left him.

Man, this old fool just gets crazier and crazier. McShitForBrains. Fits even better than it did in 08.

Hey! All you hippies get off his lawn.

Thanks for the chuckle this afternoon BT.

Life’s a bitch when your every public word is controlled by poll results of fringe freak wingnuts.
It’s embarrassing that he thinks he’s still a contender.

No kidding.
I mean, how humiliating must it be to even have to contest a race with J.D. Hayworth?

Exactly.

McCain has been in the “get of my lawn!” stage of his life for the past 30 years.

Too late. I already pissed on his begonias and got a date with Cindy. Had to convince her I was a 20-something pool boy, though.

Hey! All you hippies get off his lawn.

And go get drug tested.

“I have not changed in my positions. I know how popular it is for the Eastern press to paint me as having changed positions. That’s not true. It’s straight missionary position for John McCain, and I’m embarrassed even about that.”

He would have been President too if it hadn’t been for those meddling, (under 65), kids!

McCain is so senile that he can’t remember what he said yesterday, two days ago or a week ago, let alone a year ago. So how can be labeled a “flip-flopper” when he is merely senile. Give the old man a pass, but he really needs to retire soon. Maybe after getting reelected, he can work out a retirement that will allow the present un-elected Governess appoint herself as Senator. Won’t that be fun…

John McCain deserves all of the rejection he is getting.

When George HW Bush left the White House, I actually wanted to throw Hood over the fence so he could beat up Ranger and rape Millie but I thought better of it. If it had been ten years earlier though, I might have done it.

McCain is a flip-flopping disingenuous nutbag? Really? This is still worth noting in the latter half of 2010?

Anyway, the genuine Republican presidential candidate ran as a Democrat in 2008.

Thankfully forget him, perhaps.
But a pass – he still has to account for launching CaribouBarbie’s™ careen career.

. Maybe after getting reelected, he can work out a retirement that will allow the present un-elected Governess appoint herself as Senator. Won’t that be fun…

Might as well get re-elected and then run out on the citizens who put him there. Sarah did.

What is the “Eastern press”?? Is this “press” different from teh eeevul LIEbrul press? Or the western press?

Even when McCan’t talks about things ‘n stuff, he sounds out of it.

Whilst McCan’t does the flip-flop shuffle in order to kowtow to the whacky fringe Tea Baggers poised to vote for the master of whackitude, J.D. Hayworth, McCan’t continues to demonstrate the moral fortitude and stern ethics he had when kowtowing to the PTB who strong-armed him into accepting Bible Spice as his VP running mate.

But, then again: not much difference between McCan’t and Kowtowing Harry Reid, now is there???

And so: on it goes….

That part amused me… “Eastern” being wingnut code for liberal. Not new but interesting that the message has been condensed to a single word.

What is the “Eastern press”??

It’s almost as bad as a French press but somewhat less robust. As opposed to the FOX press which is what’s known as “filtered”, or Drudge AKA “drip”.

The traditional media must have Stockholm Syndrome. The more the Republicans blame them for their ridiculous, radical positions, the more the media coddle them and kiss their butts. First they stopped doing journalism in favor of stenography. The when stenography proved to be just as damning, they turned to making shit up. Like “ground zero mosques” and so forth.

Yeah, me too. Just had to highlight that new dog whistle for the Tea Baggers! Dreaded Eastern press, gol-dang it! cue quavering voice: get offa my laaawwnnnn…. ya hippies!

Hey, a true, good conservative never let a FACT get in the way of his(her) talking-point narrative…

Uh-oh… Do see “Patriot Pools” and “Freedomstream media” in the future?

Well, as you know, the “media” is run by our corporate overlords. As such, we are just fed b.s. propoganda talking points of the day. Don’t let the facts stand in the way of the daily bunk being peddled.

KO, in his special comment addressed to Gibbs last week, actually stated that the rightwing voters “prefer” propoganda and lies. Have to agree. Many Democratic voters aren’t much better, frankly. Our citizens are all pretty lazy.

Seems a little unnecessarily graphic.

But, then again: not much difference between McCan’t and Kowtowing Harry Reid, now is there???

They’re both invertebrates…

High five! and thanks for the explanation! har

Yes and no. Both are just suck ups who sold out in order to “get theirs” via their government pensions and finest health care for life. IOKIYAR. Harry Reid, being a putative (and laughingly called) “Democrat” has to kowtow and suck up more for his pension and health care. It’s called: working hard for the money!

Yes I’d like an extra hot, foaming at the mouth, Freedom Roast please. Filtered.

*readying bag of flaming dog poop to aim at old guy’s porch*

But in a contest between Scyphozoa and Bivalvia, who would win?

Conservatives have been “working the refs” since Reagan entered office after laying low for a few years following Watergate. It has been paying dividends since the early ’90s with nearly every call going their way.

They won’t relinquish a successful tactic (accusing the media of liberal bias) simply because trad-med now serves as a conservative mouthpiece. Hell, they still accuse the Dems of being liberal when nothing could be farther from the truth.

*readying bag of flaming dog poop to aim at old guy’s porch*

Which one?

Which porch on which house?

Gah…reply error

Dang! Whatchca drinkin’?

Oh indeedy bc it works so well with the base. The conservatives can just toss out quickies – like “Eastern press” – the base is jazzed up and raring to go, no matter what it’s about, if anything. Reality need not be part of the equation.

I still hear the conservatives I know ranting about “tax and spend Democrats.” Like: wtf???? That is, like, so Twentieth Century, but conservatives I know go for it every time. Works like a charm. Has no meaning, but works like a charm, yes sir.

Margaret’s on a tear today! Go, Margaret!! woot!

Eastern press

yo, gramps, that particular dogwhistle is sooooo last century. today’s young anti semites all say “media elite”

Ever notice in 2004 how we always heard of Theresa HEINZ Kerry? Everytime the media said her name, they put the HEINZ in there but for some reason in 2008, we never heard about Cindy HENSLEY McCain, daughter of wealthy beer distributor Jim Hensley. If that isn’t the perfect example of disparate treatment in Republicans’ favor, I don’t know what can be clearer.

Too early for anything fun. How about a coke? :)

“Hey you members of the “professional left.” Get off o’ my lawn!”

So sayeth The Maverick.

Slidin’ down the bar in a frosty mug.

Hmmm. Though does THK call herself that?

So sayeth The Maverick.

What does James Garner have to do with it? Oh, I get it. They’re both…..venerable.

No idea. I’d never heard of her until 2004.

Has no meaning, but works like a charm

That’s the whole point with them. Like “Putting a Mosque at Ground Zero”, they just mine the word field for what sound like phrases that will stir low-information voters up, knowing that they won’t look into whether it actually describes anything in what we quaintly refer to as reality.

Net neutrality becomes “restricting speech on the Internet”, whose only relation to a phrase based on reality is that both use “verbing noun on the noun” constructions even though the reality-based one is actually “restricting the ability of large corporations to control who says what online”.

The biggest, no, the only, lesson to be learned from all of this is that you should never, ever, change your policies or water anything down to try and stop them from doing this, since they’ll take anything you do and find some way to pluck out words about it that sound scary to idiots.

WooHoo! Hope it’s a Mexican coke. The kind where they still use sugar!

Presto zappo bingo-bongo! Done! Also nutritionally beneficial and bottomless. Ain’t magic great? :)

Doesn’t work on Twinkies, though. Not even magic can help those.

He didn’t blame the Media before…

I’m put in mind of Prof Harry Hill of the Music Man, who could sell anything to the rubes. An apt depiction/description of the rightwing media these days. I’ll give them this: they are good at it, more’s the pity.

What we have right here in River City is Trouble, and that starts with T, and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pool!!!!!!

Anyway, the genuine Republican presidential candidate ran as a Democrat in 2008.

and we’ve been letting him get away with republican crap ever since

FWIW, I’d wager that the “Eastern Press” is a play on the old Agenw line of “Effete Eastern Elites” and just as so many still pine for Nixon, so do they pine for Agnew.

Crooks do tend to hang together in so many ways.

Professor Harold Hill doing “We got Mosques! Right here at Ground Zero!” would be a great parody.

With a capital M and that rhymes with “them” and that stands for you know who.

nattering nabobs of McBoomerang-erism

good pint. and it has long been authoritarian for “jew”

You mean those things with the 100 year shelf life? Put a couple in shrink wrap and in a plastic container and archeologists a thousand years from now will be able to sample ‘em.

The local Tampa area Pepsi has been offering occasional “throwback” pepsi, Mt Dew, and Dr Pepper with real sugar

One store had the Dr Pepper with sugar. Not bad but haven’t seen them since. I guess the kids like corn syrup better. Yuk.

The shrink wrap and container aren’t necessary. Leave ‘em right out in the open. They’ll be just as “good” in 1000 years as they are now.

Yo Firepups: O/T News from The Front.

Jews

Nixon would be left of center by contemporary standards. I’m not sure about Agnew, he might fit right in with the modern GOP.

Convicted bootlegger and briber Jim Hensley

La la la la! :)

She used to be Teresa Heinz. I think she likes being called that. It is the source of her and her family’s infinite wealth, the catsup.

I concur.

I suppose that sets him apart from his son-in-law, who has no convictions.

And as Nancy Reagan taught us, catsup is a vegetable.

I propose a “stability tax” of 30% on all persons connected with the war or oil industries and holders of war industry or oil stock, seein’s how they’re the only ones benefiting from the wars.

Nixon would be left of center by contemporary standards.

Unfortunately, that seems true in more ways than one!

Yeah, the kids doing the checkout and bagging at the Sweet Bay commented on it. I told them there is a quite noticeable taste difference and at least one seemed to be willing to try the sugar version

You say tomato, I say tomahto.

The fact that THK speaks with a slight accent made it even easier for conservatives to hate her. Possibly she’d have been even more maligned as First Lady than Michelle. Doubt if anyone will top Hillary’s record for incurring rabid wingnut froth, though. My conservative sister’s anti-Hillary rants back in the ’90s were completely unhinged.

David Dayen has a fresh cross-post available: More Bed-Wetter Democrats Join Reid on Cordoba House

That would put us in Fat City by around the end of the month, give or take a few days…

I thought that was the FDA? Not predisposed to let Nancy off the hook for any of her malfeasance but I don’t think she gets the credit for that one.

There’s also the fact that her first husband, John Heinz, who died in a plane/helicopter crash, was a Republican senator so they probably looked on her as an interloper traitor combination

If McCain had been elected President in 2008 I wouldn’t still have a senator from my state. I blame all of you for voting for Obama. ;)

good old Wifecheater McCrashfiveplanes. he is so old he actually believes his own bullshit these days. his problem is the same problem palin and bush had. that damn sticky videotape. whenever he says something at a press conference, it sticks to the video tape.

he looks crabby and fussy. he needs his diaper changed, his favorite blanket, and a nap.

Do you know how embarrassing it is to live in a state that will likely elect either McCain or Hayworth, and the other Senator is Kyl?

McCain: Yeah, they accuse me of being a flip-flopper. I told them I haven’t changed positions, but the damned media keeps videos of everything I’ve ever said!

Hayworth: I am not a crook! (Sound familiar?)

Flaming bags of poop for everyone!! I’m an angry hippy today.

Nah, it was Nancy. Somebody musta told her it was made from tomatoes, which are fruit.

Bragging about not changing positions after all these years of marriage. How old school.

Thanks for the enlightement. Yes, I see: Jews.

Ketchup as a vegetable

In 1981, Congress ordered the United States Department of Agriculture to issue new standards for federally financed school lunch programs, which would enable schools to economize; one of the USDA’s proposals was to classify ketchup as a vegetable. The suggestion was widely ridiculed and the proposal was dropped.

More info here.

Agree re THK (the accent thingie, the jumping ship from R to D hubbies, the traiter to class), but also agree re the undying hatred towards Hils. The old crabby ladies where my ancient parents live really go to town ranting about Hilary to this day. Their hatred of Hilary knows no bounds. Really quite amazing, but there you have it.

When he said he had never clained to be a maverick, that said it all.

Conservatives’ contempt for Dem First Ladies appears to be an automatic reflex now. It will be interesting to see how things play out when the day comes that we finally have a First Gentleman in the WH. Probably goes without saying he’d better be extremely thick-skinned.

Wow, if McCain’s lost the media…

JOHN that is going to sweep JD right out the door. We are done with the filthy, corrupt, liar JD Hayworth. He had his chance, he failed, we want nothing more then to never see JD in politics again.
