- McCAIN DEMOGRAPHIC LOCATED: “Peggy Frieband of Virginia was born when Roosevelt was president — Theodore Roosevelt, that is.” Just kidding … she sounds like a fun Obama supporter. [Washington Post]

Unfortunately for Ms. Frieband, the new voter ID laws ensure that unless she brings her original birth certificate papyrus with her on Nov. 5th, the staff at the local voting precint will laugh in her wizened face and boot her out the door.
She is such a Cutie McCutiepants. I’m dying! I love how she refers to herself as Peggy.
But isn’t it always a little tasteless when newspapers interview old people for their human interest stories? It always smacks of “Why aren’t you dead yet?”
[re=20575]ronaldpagan[/re]: You just know the interviewer was wondering the whole time whether her apartment is rent-controled and would anyone notice if she coshed the old bag over the head with that little jade statue?..
Rohrshack for the hellbound:
“Asked if she isn’t the person who might need help, Freiband replied: ‘I’m a giver. If I have something, I want to give it to you.’”
I am a bad ol’ bear.
Old person…blah, blah, blah…..When the hell does she call Cindy McCain a cunt?
“I love port,” she explained. “Every once in a while, I say, ‘Peggy, have some port.’”
And, even better,
“I’m ready for anything,” the near-centenarian said. “I’m not afraid to die. But in the meantime, I’m living it up like crazy.”
Sorry, I cannot say anything remotely snarky or mean here. I just want to be Peggy’s BFF.
Peggy is my new role model. No kidding.
WALNUTS has thousands of years on this one. Why does he not receive the same praise?
[re=20572]AxmxZ[/re]: I take comfort in the fact that far more bigoted old racist Republicans will be disenfranchised by such laws because their boomer kids took their keys away. And the Obama college kids all have valid driver licenses.
i wonder if she gets it on with some lucky gent
from the senior center. she didn’t say, but she is
a “giver.”
Actually, I was watching the new McCain bio pic last night while working on a brief.
A buddy of mine who does IT for a Big Oil company downloaded it for me.
Very moving story of McCain as a young man: His life, his loves, his battles.
I liked the film overall, but I thought the title was not very effective.
Anyone know why the McCain staff called it “10,000 B.C.”?
[re=20605]Vanity Smurf[/re]: Voting for Obama is going to be such an orgiastic bacchanalia of Obamamania and self-congratulation for doing something quote-unquote historic that this election, unlike the last two, the college kids really will turn out in droves.
I have to admit this made no sense to me until I read it. Then again I’ve been drinking and smoking heavily today. This is my favorite part:
“My boss took me to the places Wall Street people would go,” Freiband recalled. “I didn’t even know how to order. He taught me how to go into a restaurant, order and eat.”
Yeah, like that boss didn’t know how to turn that into ‘Advantage Burns’
Anyone have a close up of her? They say she looks like Posh Becks? Come on…please people. I don’t like Vix so much but Vix is toned. A bit insane but very toned.
I hear Reader’s Digest has a fold out of her. Haven’t seen it… yet.
She reminds me of my late grandma. Old folk who aren’t Limbaugh freaks are always cute. Live a lot, Peggy. “We’re here for a good time, not a long time”!!
Here you have an almost 100 year old person who is clearly diamond sane and sharp. Impressive. There are some people maybe 30 years younger who don’t seem quite as on the mark.
[re=20681]wheelie[/re]: 29 years. even a 70 year old doesn’t have enough life experience to be prez
She had Estes Kefauver’s love baby.
Did everyone read this devastatingly tragic story about some ungrateful boomer dipshit who cockblocked his own 95-year-old father?
The wrong generation is dying off. (No offense, Mommy!)
Now see, here is the effect of good genes. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could give everybody such a nice starting package of genes as this lady has benefitted from? We could, you know. And we will. Oh, not openly, or to everybody, because somebody would scream “Arbeit Mach Frei” or something, but some ultra rich bastard from Abu Dhabi or Redmond, Washington, or maybe Cupertino, California, or I don’t know, maybe Crawford, Texas, will sneak out some night with his pregnant wife to some lab at some biotech startup and get the deed done. Don’t even try to tell me that won’t happen. You betcha; designer children.
[re=20706]ronaldpagan[/re]: Ugh. Thanks for that. Now I have the image of 95-year-old schlong in my mind.
[re=20733]El Bombastico[/re]: Please elaborate for the church. Could it be- you are from Catholic decent? I am also in said support network.
[re=20706]ronaldpagan[/re]: There’s no way I’m reading beyond the first page of that — hell, I’m gonna start hoarding morphine now, just in case I need it when I’m elderly.
But it’s complicated — of course I’d like to be able to fuck whoever I wanted to when I was older. On the other hand, I kinda wonder if the son isn’t merely applying the ridiculous rules taught by his father. Maybe his own crappy morality is coming back to haunt him. It’s sad, but maybe slightly less sad than if the father had been a big civil-rights advocate when he was younger.
Then again it sucks either way and I really can’t justify any sort of moral you-had-it-coming crap regardless.
Life is short.
Sex is shorter.
Get it on.
It’s the port that gives you longevity. “Fortified wine” means it’s got 11 vitamins and minerals or somesuch. Well, at least it contains grapeium and boozeium.
I read about her in the paper last night and was just telling my husband about her today. I love that she mends her sons pants, young whippersnapper that he is.
[re=20706]ronaldpagan[/re]: cockblocking is always wrong, but that shit takes the cake. i hope the old man cuts that asshole out of his will.
