John McCain Hates ‘The Bloggers’

Here is John McCain lamenting the Information Age in typical hilarious old-man fashion. First there are “the cables,” and then talk radio, and of course bloggers, whom he hates. Finally, something we can all agree on. [YouTube via BuzzFeed]

    How cute. He included bloggers in a list of sources of information.

  2. nbawriter says at 10:25 am, July 7th, 2008

    That’s n-n-not the bl-bl-bloggering we c-c-can believe in!

  3. Larry Fine says at 10:26 am, July 7th, 2008

    The bloggers keep bringing up the nasty word he called his wife.

    Look, I’m sorry to have to do this, but I’m the first one here so I feel some responsibility…

    but those “cables” he’s talking about…he means “tubes,” right?

  5. Crow T. Robot: I think you mean vacuum tubes. These are a very useful invention that have reduced the size of mechanical computers from 4 warehouses to 1 warehouse. These are a very important sector of our future economy and if you visit Silicon Valley there are at least 2 or 3 firms investing in this great potential.

  6. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 10:33 am, July 7th, 2008

    Don’t worry John, the feeling is mutual.

  7. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 10:38 am, July 7th, 2008

    Let’s bomb bomb bomb bomb the blogs.

    Crow T. Robot:
    No, Walnuts was referring to actual telegraph cables. He’s always preferred the Pony Express.

  9. Noodle Salad says at 10:42 am, July 7th, 2008

    John McCain’s sources of information: cables, talk radio, bloggers (HATE EM). This is why we will bomb Iran forever.

  10. Darehead says at 10:43 am, July 7th, 2008

    McCain was just thinking the axiom, “you can create voters in your own image by making the voters hate all the same people you do.”
    But wait….! No one heard that story…. except from the little blog-cabins where we were all born!

  11. Ever since the TELEGRAPH came out, Johnny Mac’s not been too enarmored of technology.

  12. Truculent says at 10:44 am, July 7th, 2008

    Damn series of tubes get all tangled up in the living room and he can never find his TV Guide. Don’t those bloggers have jobs or something else to do?

  13. ManchuCandidate says at 10:44 am, July 7th, 2008

    B Loggers?

    Blowggers?

    Loggers?

    Poor geezer probably spent hours trying to figure out how to pronounce it.

  14. DCBulloch says at 10:46 am, July 7th, 2008

    He would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those damn meddling bloggers and their dog (Googler) always snooping around on the internets.

  15. Darehead says at 10:49 am, July 7th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: He was a little blogged down.

  16. MrAgro says at 10:52 am, July 7th, 2008

    Denigrating new media while endearing yourself to old media in one sentence. Johnny, you clever cunt you!

  17. His political ambitions are being smashed by a nation of typing “Hanoi Hannahs”.

  18. Gosh, I didn’t think he was even aware of the internet. One day he shall wake up and demand that the internet gets off his lawn.

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:59 am, July 7th, 2008

    WALNUTS denounces and rejects teh internetz traditionz.

  20. NoWireHangers says at 11:02 am, July 7th, 2008

    Darn tootin’, WALNUTS! You never got no sass-back from the telegraph.

  21. CrunchyKnee says at 11:02 am, July 7th, 2008

    Ahhhh, Johnny, remembering the good old days when he and his bud Jesse Helms cabled each other about them dang cunts and them uppity nigras in relative privacy.

  22. nbawriter says at 11:04 am, July 7th, 2008

    Stoopid “bloggers” with their “information.” Why couldn’t they just post blank pages, or pictures of Ann Coulter’s penis? But nooooo …

  23. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:05 am, July 7th, 2008

    John McCain is aware of the Pony Express.

  24. mephistopheles jefferson says at 11:05 am, July 7th, 2008

    He forgot the pamphleteers. I hate Thomas Paine!

  25. bmannes says at 11:06 am, July 7th, 2008

    I was watching the cables last night…and they have housewives selling marijuana cigarettes!

  26. WadISay says at 11:09 am, July 7th, 2008

    My Gawd, this underscores for me how powerfully effective McCain is in these town hall forums.

  27. RuperttheBear says at 11:12 am, July 7th, 2008

    mephistopheles jefferson: Teh town crier . . . he’s sleeping with my wife, Goody Brown (sobbing in my tankard).

  28. Darehead says at 11:13 am, July 7th, 2008

    WadISay: Long as there ain’t no teleprompter.

  29. mephistopheles jefferson says at 11:17 am, July 7th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: Goody Brown…that c*nt.

  30. i is on ur blogz, redin ur wordz says at 11:19 am, July 7th, 2008

    bmannes: It can only be a matter of hours now before WALNUTS! announces the The Cables do not speak for his campaign, and he does not endorse their position on drugs, blah blah blah …

  31. graceless says at 11:24 am, July 7th, 2008

    Hey WALNUTS! We hate you back.

  32. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 11:25 am, July 7th, 2008

    He prefers papyrus scrolls written with Kemetic monk blood.

  34. nbawriter says at 11:27 am, July 7th, 2008

    John McCain is for cutting cable. But only when he wears his Depends.

  35. MoodProcessor says at 11:28 am, July 7th, 2008

    Servo: I prefer Typhoid Murray.

  36. benjamin80 says at 11:36 am, July 7th, 2008

  37. columnv says at 12:07 pm, July 7th, 2008

    “Why just yesterday a gentle-man from Siam arrived via aero-plane and delivered the week’s post to my door-stop.”

  40. Uncle Al says at 12:24 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Who put slippers in the dishwasher? Who threw a cane at the TV? Who fell into the china hutch?

    I HATE the slippers! HATE the dishwasher! HATE the china hutch!
