‘McCain Cribs’ Tours The Straight Talk Express

You should check out this video at John McCain’s website called “McCain Cribs,” which tours the Straight Talk Express. The name is a play off of the unpopular teevee program MTV Cribs, where unpaid robots tour various rappers’ houses and garages to check out their mad wheelz. Well, just like that show, “McCain Cribs” features a cyborg rap song in the background. [John McCain]

    Perfectly logical. Those who wear diapers can be found in cribs.

  2. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:34 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I know living off your wife’s inheritance and Social Security must be a very difficult thing, but I’d rather see Barry’s plane.

  3. mookworthjwilson says at 12:37 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Where does he keep the giant costco size bottles of Geritol and Metamucil???

  4. obfuscator says at 12:37 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I’m at work, but if there’s footage of McCain pointing at a bed and saying, “This is where the magic happens, friends”, I will donate $2.54 to his campaign. I promise.

  5. loudmouthredhead says at 12:37 pm, June 13th, 2008

    “For an undisclosed price” from an undisclosed cabal of the military-industrial elite…

  6. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:37 pm, June 13th, 2008

    …whats next “Pimp My Tour Bus”?

  7. SecertAgentA says at 12:38 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Hmmmm…fully equipped with young stowaway boys…

  8. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 12:39 pm, June 13th, 2008

    This is where the magic happens!

  9. El Bombastico says at 12:39 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I just read today’s Peggy column, where she suggests the McCain campaign build him a miniature podium. So correct, but still so funny. Maybe he can also bring out a 12″ Stonehenge model, and trample it like Spinal Tap.

  10. loudmouthredhead says at 12:39 pm, June 13th, 2008

    That is a shitload of Coke! Walnuts must keep his insulin on the OTHER bus, or be on a constant sugar high to stay alive…

  11. AfghanVet says at 12:40 pm, June 13th, 2008

    The young people who will vote for McSame, think LNS, do not watch MTV and IF they do happen to land on it, they definitely do not watch anything to do with Hip-Hop as they are mostly black people.

  12. RaptorAvatar says at 12:41 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Please tell me they keep the starved, disfigured first wife chained up in the compartment underneath the bus like a slightly more ogreish version of The Gimp in “Pulp Fiction”

  13. Vanity Smurf says at 12:41 pm, June 13th, 2008

    What about the other 8 or 9 cribs his Sugar Momma bought for him?

  14. denniskempton says at 12:42 pm, June 13th, 2008

    The Advance Man Dave or whatever is smokiin’ hot with body karate. Typical. He’s probably another repressed homosexual conservative one toilet stall and one wide stance away from his 15 minutes of fame. Coming to a city near you.

  15. RaptorAvatar says at 12:42 pm, June 13th, 2008

    El Bombastico: God, you totally just made me realize that he’s Cotton from “King of The Hill.”

  17. freakishlystrong says at 12:44 pm, June 13th, 2008

    For Christ sake, all teh white people, and by this I mean YOU Fux News (”Baby Mama” indeed), quit trying to sound all dope and shit, you’re old, and white and you will never be crunk, got that?

  18. MoodProcessor says at 12:44 pm, June 13th, 2008

    What’s up with the way he closed out the tour?
    I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, you know.
    “He might just look like a douche.”
    Nope. He’s a douche, through and through.

  19. stankfest says at 12:45 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Does Barry have a funky funkmobile, with an arrow to show where Mecca is?

  20. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 12:45 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Fine, but where does he donkey punch lobbyists? Hardly seems like there’s room in there for that.

  21. What did we learn?

    You can buy buses on ebay.
    McCain staffers would rather hide with the luggage than work for this lost cause.
    McCain buses are for manly men that don’t do no cooking.
    Special lighting is needed to keep McCain from looking like a mummy.
    McCain’s staffers are clueless and have no sense of humor - (you wouldn’t either if you were supporting this lost cause).
    Horsepower and size are more important to Republicans than substance.

  22. Happy Fun Ball says at 12:46 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Where’s the gold-framed Scarface poster that must by FCC regulationss appear in every “crib” shown on MTV?

  23. Gopherit v2.0 says at 12:47 pm, June 13th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: You don’t want to just come out and tell everyone you’re pimping out your daughter for a bus.

  24. Gopherit v2.0 says at 12:48 pm, June 13th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Yeah, where were the spinners on the 22″s?

  25. loudmouthredhead says at 12:49 pm, June 13th, 2008

    denniskempton: Pre-filming, he had just gone on the down-low (er, finding jeebus adventure) with that guy in the lower compartment (hence the thumb-sucking and the fetal position)

  26. Cicada says at 12:49 pm, June 13th, 2008

    22″ rims? Golly gee, McCain sure is rollin’. He’s really “phat”.
    Maybe he’ll get some denture grillz next. The “kids” would love that!

    Laaaaaaame.

  27. But what kind of offensive and defensive weapons systems does McKain Force One have?

    They also never say that its a hybrid.

    They’ve really done their research on what young encouragable voters like.

  28. Gopherit v2.0 says at 12:49 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Why weren’t there any “oh, shit” old people handles in the shower? McCain’s gonna break a hip in there.

  29. tunamelt says at 12:49 pm, June 13th, 2008

    RaptorAvatar: That’s so Jane Eyre.

  30. Gopherit v2.0 says at 12:50 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Oh, and loved the product placements.

  31. obfuscator says at 12:50 pm, June 13th, 2008

    He opens a mini fridge to reveal bottle after bottle of prune juice.

    A wall-mounted lcd tv playing an episode of ‘Murder, She Wrote’.

    A toilet with those ‘help me up’ handles mounted to the walls.

    I assume all these things are on the Straight Talk Express.

  32. loudmouthredhead says at 12:50 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: Oh, see, I was thinking his eternal soul, or something melodramatic like that….but that works too.

  33. ManchuCandidate says at 12:51 pm, June 13th, 2008

    What’s so fabtrabulous about a cave?

  34. Scarab says at 12:51 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Did anyone else feel they could actually read that bus driver’s thoughts?

  35. loudmouthredhead says at 12:52 pm, June 13th, 2008

    It runs on beer and old-man gas?

  36. loudmouthredhead says at 12:53 pm, June 13th, 2008

    obfuscator: Also note we didn’t see a bathroom, and we weren’t shown the contents of all those drawers…*cough* depends *cough*

  37. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:53 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Is that Tone-Loc in the driver’s seat? Man, the royalties from “Funky Cold Medina” must’ve finally dried up.

  38. Gopherit v2.0 says at 12:53 pm, June 13th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: McCain’s eternal soul? Hhahaahaaahahahahahahahahah! That’s a good one.

  39. mookworthjwilson says at 12:54 pm, June 13th, 2008

    obfuscator: And there is a hardwired LifeAlert (”I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”) panic button every 3 feet…

  40. mookworthjwilson says at 12:55 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Scarab: …”Cracka-ass-cracka…”

  41. obfuscator says at 1:00 pm, June 13th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson:

    A dish full of Werther’s Originals, an enevelope full of clipped coupons, Parade magazine, etc.

  42. loudmouthredhead says at 1:03 pm, June 13th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: “If this bitch calls me “Sambo” one more time, I’m gonna snap his cracka neck.”

  43. Redhead says at 1:06 pm, June 13th, 2008

    larz: No one on the McCain campaign showers.
    Microphones must record what happens and replay it later so McCain can be reminded of what happened 10 minutes ago.
    McCain drinks lots of caffeine since, with his demanding schedule, he only gets one nap a day.
    McCain is absolutely desperate to prove that he is not, in fact, 80 million years old.

  44. policonoclast says at 1:16 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I was wondering why the tour guide included this part: “This is where the senator sits and puts his elbow up. I don’t want to sit here and disrespect it, though.”

    I think it means that he’s DEFINITELY already sat there naked for a bj from a local volunteer…

  45. forgot my id says at 1:20 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I love the following real quote by that ass clown host:

    “We bought our first straight talk express on EBAY for an undisclosed amount”

    What the fuck is wrong with telling us the price STRAIGHT UP — as in straight talk style?
    Does the straight talk express have something to hide???

  46. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:29 pm, June 13th, 2008

    forgot my id: LOTS AND LOTS of dead lobbyist-hookers, for which the straight-talk express ALSO bought on EBAY for an undisclosed amount.

  47. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:41 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Yeah, judging from the one guy, that bus has storage space for at least a couple dozen dead hookers. Def. a republican bus.

  48. forgot my id says at 1:44 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: I prefer live and feisty hookers myself, but whatever floats your boat…. unless McCain’s boat no longer floats that is….

    I wonder if McCain has already joined Bob Dole and Rudy “9/11″ Giulliani in becoming the latest famous politician-come paid Viagara spokesperson?

  49. Brokeback_Romney says at 2:09 pm, June 13th, 2008

    That guy is such a fucking badass!

  50. V2peaceAllOver says at 2:12 pm, June 13th, 2008

    all the focus group generated appeal , all the carefully deliberated shots, pans, reflections and sound bites, and still!–they have a BRO to lift the engine cover?

    4 shame.

  51. allikatz says at 2:13 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Good thing the front of the bus is ready for “blogettes”!

  52. NebraskashireGentry says at 2:18 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I had no idea that, in addition to serving as a Senator, McCain was an unsuccessful rapper and/or Extreme! athlete.

  53. anabellum says at 2:31 pm, June 13th, 2008

    what we see in this video is the bus driver being threatened…..’hope youll stick with us till november’….uh huh…

    ‘keep your mouth shut if you knows good for those two pretty teenage daughters of yours’…is more like it..

    smell the fear…

  54. valencia says at 3:17 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Oh I get it - it’s a bus!
    That bus driver looks a lot like McSame.

  55. allikatz: Dude, I’m really ready for some blogettes. Tell you what. You send them over here and I’ll send McKain Force One some fresh Senate Pages.

  56. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 5:53 pm, June 16th, 2008

    OOoooooo……nice “intern”, dude! Turn around and show us some of that young Republican butt! How about we settle in to that cozy love seat and enjoy some Glenn Murphy Jr.action!?

  57. Mr-Clark says at 1:17 am, June 17th, 2008

    Jim Newell,

    Imagine the old-man-smell on that bus. It seems to me that Cindy is pretty smart for not giving his campaign a cent. A second wife with a good lawyer!

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark
