John McCain Doesn’t Care About Typos

Here’s the current center graphic of John McCain’s website, which links to his Plan For Small Businesses, such as this suffering barbershop in what appears to be a rich, conservative seaside command center, like Orange County. This is not a “buisness” at all, idiot! Go back to second grade! There’s no such thing! [John McCain]

    Ugh. What a duochebag.

  2. AngryBlakGuy says at 6:02 pm, June 10th, 2008

    …first the BEER and now the BUIS…NESS, have he no decency!

  3. SayItWithWookies says at 6:04 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Wow, they fixed that pretty quick. Not that Wonkette’s being wiretapped or anything…

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:04 pm, June 10th, 2008

    OH MAN that picture makes Detroit look like a palace!
    It must be a Republican ghetto in the O.C., because there is no such thing as a Republican ghetto anywhere else.

  5. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 6:05 pm, June 10th, 2008

    They corrected that quickly… good for them! Now if only they would learn what the little red squiggly line means WHILE they’re typing… but, I mean, his IS new to this whole internets thing

  6. ManchuCandidate says at 6:06 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Jahn McKain is a prowd uS Amurikan end sez spalling is fer pissiez.

  7. El Bombastico says at 6:07 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Didn’t you guys hear? He hired Ed Hale as his webmaster.

  8. RuperttheBear says at 6:10 pm, June 10th, 2008

    BUIS = Back up iron sights (http://www.talonarms.com/talonarms/index.php?cPath=42&main_page=index)

    “Small Buisness growth” means a plan to arm Detroit with state of the art tactical weaponry.

  9. Inadequate Blackmail says at 6:10 pm, June 10th, 2008

    As Floyd the Barber goes, so goes the nation.

  10. jagorev says at 6:11 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Lay off, he just discovered Google yesterday, I’m sure he’ll get to the sepllcehck evnetualyg

  11. metropolitan says at 6:12 pm, June 10th, 2008

    yeah, they corrected it, now it says “mccain’s vision for big buisness growth for better campaign donations”

  12. jagorev says at 6:16 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Regarding the webmaster cracks: McCain’s server is actually running on the fairly professional IIS 6.0, while BarackObama.com is running on the out of date and inadequate Microsoft Personal Web Server. I find this ironic, but I’m also a huge dork.

    Our Wonkette is using Apache on Debian, like all good terrorists everywhere.

  13. StrangelyBrown says at 6:16 pm, June 10th, 2008

    MCCAIN: Are they booing me?
    LACKEY: No sir! They’re saying “boo-isness” — buisness!
    MCCAIN: My friends, are you saying “boo” or “buisness”?
    CROWD: BOOOOOOO!
    ROMNEY: I was saying “buisness”…

  14. Serolf Divad says at 6:17 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Speeling is for A-leets.

  15. tunamelt says at 6:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    This picture reminds me of how I’m going to Catalina Island on the 4th of July.

    Plus, I can practically here some sad-sack intern getting yelled at.

  16. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    He’s been writing the website through a dictaphone.

  17. El Bombastico says at 6:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I know we’ve already talked about it, but that “Golf Gear” heading is SO F’in incongruous.

    Reform — Economic Stimulus — National Defense — Fuzzy Hats

  18. graceless says at 6:20 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Poor old guy.

  19. tunamelt says at 6:21 pm, June 10th, 2008

    tunamelt: Hear. Maybe someday I will learn to spellcheck, too.

  20. Tits_LaRue says at 6:21 pm, June 10th, 2008

    The “i” and the “s” are just trying to switch sides, much like 35,000 Hillary Clinton supporters!

  21. satyricrash says at 6:23 pm, June 10th, 2008

    This is none of your buisness, morans.

  22. tunamelt says at 6:25 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Maybe this is Old English for business. Spelling was more fluid in olden times.

  23. jagorev says at 6:29 pm, June 10th, 2008

    OMG they’ve been hacked:

  24. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:29 pm, June 10th, 2008

    You all just don’t appreciate how to talk to bitters.

  25. It’ll be buisness as usual in Bush’s third term.
    Note the eerie lack of people on the street.
    They’re huddled inside their luxury fear-bunkers, or being tortur… er, waterboarded at Gitmo.

  26. weirdiowasculpture says at 6:33 pm, June 10th, 2008

    In Old French it was pronounced “bwees-nay,” which meant “freakishly Gigantor jowls.” Today, of course, “small buisness” is an anachronism, since you can’t really have small freakishly Gigantor jowls.

  27. tunamelt: Verily, there were at leaste sixe ways to spell sheepfucker. Coincidentally, one of them was “WALNUTS!”.

  28. Brutus Harlot says at 6:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    El Bombastico: I just thought that Wonkette commenters hacked in and added typos to make it look like McCain didn’t know how to spell. Aren’t all of Ed’s comments the fault of the wonketeers?

  29. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Eh, this is one area where I think their right-on. I never liked spelling it “business” anyway. “Buisness” makes more sense.

    I can’t remember - would this grant me trucknutz points or whore diamonds?

  30. iwillsavethispatient says at 6:43 pm, June 10th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: “their” right on what? Or are you being two-clever by half?

  31. Serolf Divad says at 6:44 pm, June 10th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun:

    You know, I kinda like it better when we referred to it as “bees-wax.”

    None of your bees-wax, buddy.

  32. Lone Star Buck says at 6:44 pm, June 10th, 2008

    thats code for cunt

  33. superfecta says at 6:47 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I thought the word was ‘bidness’ now anyway - hasn’t McCain been keeping up with his urban slang?

  34. El Bombastico says at 6:47 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Brutus Harlot: Speaking of hcsfjm.com, did anybody get sent the password for the chatroom? That’s gotta be good for the death of several million brain cells.

  35. wheelie says at 6:52 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Shouldn’t that read ” . . . For a Bitter Economy”? Learn to spell, McCain.

  36. tsunami says at 6:55 pm, June 10th, 2008

    my friends…so they can’t spell on my website. big
    fuckin’ deal. vote for me or i’ll kill you. i’ll bomb
    your freakin’ ass into dust.

    now…my friends, how do you like them apples? spelling
    won’t seem so freakin’ important then, will it, you
    wonkette spelling bee loving twits? when the naplam
    burns the skin off your bones, I’LL be the one laughing.

    hahahahahahahaha

  37. mc_frontalot says at 6:56 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Do we not have available to us more substantial lulz than a web typo? Slow tuesday indeed.

  38. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:03 pm, June 10th, 2008

    He’s just getting the hang of using a newfound contraption called the keyboard. He’s used to dipping his feather (not that’s not a euphemism) in an ink well & writing on sheepskin, which it took him forever to get used to after carving hieroglyphics on stone tablets.

  39. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:06 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Ooops, meant “no, that’s not a euphemism”.

  40. Honcho says at 7:09 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Can we start a “Golf Gear Watch” to see how long it stays on the front page?

  41. tunamelt says at 7:10 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Not to mention cuneiform on wet clay tablets. He’s multilingual. I can’t wait for his platform reinstating the Code of Hammurabi.

  42. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    tunamelt: Cheek for a cheek?

  43. wheelie says at 7:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    He also could win over Perez Hilton by promoting “the McCain vision on Small Biz Growth”.

    @ Honcho: A Good idea. I’m all for it.

  44. edgydrifter says at 7:21 pm, June 10th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: Truck Nutz fer shur. Like the aforementioned vehicular accoutrements, intentional misspelling is cry of rebellion against the rigid parameters of the dominant paradigm.

    You only get Whore Diamonds if your transgression involves your naughty bits.

  45. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:27 pm, June 10th, 2008

    edgydrifter: Truck NUTZ make the world a better place for all.

  46. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:33 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Hey I just used the WayBackMachine to get GW’s 1999 campaign website. It is a little different than how I remember him though…

    http://web.archive.org/web/19991012163339/http://georgebush.com/

  47. Johnny MacAttack’s gotta small growth on his business? :???: Gag.

  48. bmannes says at 7:52 pm, June 10th, 2008

    That’s not spelling we can beleive in.

  49. bitchincamaro says at 7:55 pm, June 10th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts:

    ‘course it ain’t Detroit; not a wig shop, party store, or bump shop within 10 feet of the cameraman.

    Slightly OT: Can Wonkette afford a login button up top ‘cuz I could be the laziest commenter in the world and getting down here on this ancient notebook is a joke. Oh, and since we’re correcting 2nd grade essayists–is the dropped ‘g’ on the “loggin” page intentional or is Wonkette lazier than me?

  50. Johnny_Zhivago says at 8:05 pm, June 10th, 2008

    You sure that graphic isn’t supposed to say “Hair Growth”?

  51. bitchincamaro says at 8:06 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Q:
    109 minutes before somebody finally decoded this shit, Wonkette style.
    Knuckle bump. Oops, so declasse.

  52. William Tecumseh Sherman says at 8:11 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Don’t you know the only people who care about spelling are elitists?

  53. WadISay says at 8:25 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Just BTW, the “small business” depicted here is the real estate development company that owns this piece of Salsilito to the horizon. The guy with the barbershop is a “serf”.

  54. columnv says at 8:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    You’d think old people could spell right on account of all of that Scrabble.

  55. smapdi says at 8:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Ha. His ssl certificate is also installed wrong. Crack team of web gurus with teh mad skillz, indeed.
    Maybe they were the only small web design business listed in the phone book.

  56. Brutus Harlot says at 9:01 pm, June 10th, 2008

    columnv: But they didn’t have dictionaries yet when McCain started spelling.

  57. edgydrifter says at 9:08 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Brutus Harlot: “Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote, the droghte of March hath perced to the roote…” Chaucer stole that from Walnuts, ya know.

  58. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 9:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I prefer to pronounce it “bwees-ness”.
    Which reminds me of Beezus of Beverly Cleary fame. That’s it– it should read “Small Beezus Growth”!

  59. Brutus Harlot says at 9:30 pm, June 10th, 2008

    edgydrifter: Moises stole the ten commandments from him

  60. KTHXBAI says at 9:54 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Oh God the spelling disease has spread from hcsfjm.com

  61. InsidiousTuna says at 10:01 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Aww, it’s Obama’s daughter’s seventh birthday.

  62. Brutus Harlot says at 10:03 pm, June 10th, 2008

    InsidiousTuna: She shares a birthday with Johnny Edwards? How cute.

  63. Brutus Harlot: Maybe Johnny *is* his daughter. O_0

    REPLY TO THELMA:

    LET ME TELL YOU I’VE HEARD THIS TOO. FIRST OF ALL, CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE AL QUEDA / IRAN POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (AIPAC) IS EVEN ALLOWED TO OPERATE IN THIS COUNTRY. I ASSUME IT IS MOSTLY A FRONT FOR THIS OBAMA FRAUD. I AM SO PROUD THAT JOHN MCCAIN DOES NOT SPEAK BEFORE SUCH AN ORGANIZATION OF MARXISTS, LENINISTS AND MUSLIMS AS THIS. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE WITH CONNECTIONS TO THE US SECURITY FORCES HAVE THIS AIPAC SHUT DOWN?

    I ALSO THINK IT IS TIME TO SECURE THE BEACHES OF THIS COUNTRY AS WELL AS THE BORDERS. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WHEN WE GO TO THE BEACH (WHICH IS JUST ON LAKE EFAULA, MY HUSBAND AND I KEEP A 24 HOUR WATCH OVER THE DAUGHTERS WITH OUR M4A’S. THESE TERRORISTS COULD EASILY RAFT IN AND TO TAKE UP STRATEGIC POSITIONS AT THE BUS TERMINALS, STEEL MILLS AND AUTO PLANTS AND DISRUPT OUR ECONOMY.

    FINALLY, I WANT TO SAY I LIKE WHAT JOHN MCCAIN SAID TODAY ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH. I RUN A SMALL BUSINESS (HORSESHOES FOR BARBIE DOLL HORSES) AND I AM PROUD OF MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. WHERE IS OBAMA ON SMALL BUSINESS. I HEAR HE WOULD EXPORT IT ALL TO INDIA. HOW THE HECK CAN I AFFORD TO MOVE THE BUSINESS TO INDIA? I CANNOT EVEN SPEAK INDIAN, ALTHOUGH MY GRANDFATHER ON MY MOTHERS SIDE WAS CHEROKEE.

    THANK YOU FOR LISTENING,
    LINDA

    I know this has nothing to do with misspelling, but I basically came when I saw this.

  70. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:12 am, June 11th, 2008

    Johnny_Zhivago: Now that is a conspiracy I can bite into. *chomp*.

  71. Democratica says at 12:23 am, June 11th, 2008

    Shouldn’t she be confined to a detention camp, err… reservation somewhere? I mean, what did General Custer die for!?!?!

  74. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:37 am, June 11th, 2008

    Fuck all ya’all. Paultard is still the only Native American in these ‘ere lands.

  75. Quacker says at 1:26 am, June 11th, 2008

    The Ultimate Buisness, er…. Bidness, no!….Bees-wax…..

    Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
    Benjamin: Yes, sir.
    Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
    Benjamin: Yes, I am.
    Mr. McGuire: Plastics.

  76. dilhavarti says at 2:42 am, June 11th, 2008

    Wait… WALNUTS is disenfranchising words?

  77. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:53 am, June 11th, 2008

    dilhavarti: Words are for the tax and spend liberals. Reptards prefer that you shutup and take your assfucking, for Jeebus.

  78. rannic says at 3:27 am, June 11th, 2008

    @StrangelyBrown:

    OK, I’ll give you props for that. Even if these other elitists won’t.

  79. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:34 am, June 11th, 2008

    And since when did “Golf Gear” endorse McCain? Here in the Marin County, blessed satanic worship is always followed by a solid back-nine.

  80. HollowBrain says at 9:57 am, June 11th, 2008

    That’s not a spellcheck we can believe in.

    I’m gonna run this well dry. Dry I tell ya!

  81. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:15 am, June 11th, 2008

    Johnny_Zhivago: OMG the BEST. This, especially, I love: HEAR HE WOULD EXPORT IT ALL TO INDIA. HOW THE HECK CAN I AFFORD TO MOVE THE BUSINESS TO INDIA? I CANNOT EVEN SPEAK INDIAN, ALTHOUGH MY GRANDFATHER ON MY MOTHERS SIDE WAS CHEROKEE. Yea, Linda, you might even need to get a passport so you can visit the rez.

  82. You wrong Jon McCian badly.
