Here is a video clip of John McCain declaring that he graduated fifth from the bottom of his class in the Naval Academy. This is supposed to make all you elitists turn purple with rage that such a terrible slacker would ever dare to run for president, when in fact it just shows that John McCain was cool, once: too cool for school, in fact, in the years before school was officially invented. The bit about his wife having to turn on his computer for him is just embarrassing, though. [YouTube via AmericaBlog]

We have a Naval Academy now? Gay.
Ha! His Coolidge self-crack was funny … except that it stole my thunder.
I’ll have to stash Rutherford B. Hayes for another time.
He tried clapping twice, but the PC wouldn’t boot.
“ROBOT HOUUUUUSE!”
This guy would be much more entertaining if there was zero chance that he could be president of the U-nited States. I feel much the same way about our current president.
He doesn’t know if he uses a Mac or a PC? I’ll bet that’s because half the time he’s trying to log on to the microwave.
Way to go, Moran!
He got an F in Sloop engineering.
I think i read somewhere that Cindy can order a case of Vicodin and a new black baby in under 30 sec. Impressive.
When McCain needs computer help, does he hit the cuntrol button to summon that trollop ferrin’ beer selling wife of his?
The troubling point, as always, is describing the target audience. McCain is appealing to stupid people who make it a point to dislike smart people.
[re=37228]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I doubt he’s even upgraded to microwave yet. He probably still uses an Amana Radarange.
you can’t make that stuff up.
thank goodness foreigners are well, foreign, so they don’t see what goes
on in the good ‘ol usa.
it’s not bad enough that mcstupid is such a dope, it’s that more
than 2 people are going to vote for that asshole to be prez…after bush!
hell…75% of repugs think iraq is going “well.” compared to what?…
hiroshima after the bomb?
i can’t take it any more and it’s only july.
sorry for the lack of humor. aarrrrgh.
[re=37232]nbawriter[/re]: He did manage a gentleman’s C in both counter-piratery and yardarm management.
So he was 894th out of 899 in his class? Not a big deal — George Armstrong Custer was last in his class at West Point, so that’s no determination of success. Oh, wait.
I like to mute McCain videos that have him moving around and stuff. Then I turn on Mr. Roboto and dance along. It’s new and chill. I yell “Turn it out McAinamatronic” at the screen because that is his Break Dance Name.
WALNUTS! is a Mac user – here’s a picture of his laptop:

This was an upgrade after he made the big switch from his old PC:

This totally explains the Czechoslovakia thing.
What is it with the Republicans and their need to revel in their stupidity?
won’t this help him?
I, like most Americans, hesitate to elect a President who will make me feel like I couldn’t do his job.
[re=37246]SayItWithWookies[/re]: General George Pickett of the Army of Virginia finished dead last in his class at West Point–and he had a WONDERFUL day at Gettysburg.
As for Walnuts–at least he didn’t mention how Cindy has to dress and feed him every morning.
[re=37250]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. And now dissent is terrorism.
[re=37253]NebraskashireGentry[/re]: Not me. I want the guy with the nuclear codes to be MUCH smarter and wiser than me. And Walnuts ain’t it! The jury’s still out on Hopey.
For that matter, I can’t imagine why someone would WANT to be President–on the job 24/7/365, everybody second-guessing you, third-world tinpots trying to take a chunk out of your hide, home-grown nutcases wanting to shoot you, living in the Secret Service bubble the rest of your life. I’m surprised more Presidents haven’t died in office from heart attack or stroke.
Maybe Walnuts has a death wish?
[re=37248]Thanatopsis[/re]: That second picture has a steering wheel??!! WTF?!!
Our last slacker president worked out great.
Walnuts would have succeeded if he had Lou Gossett Jr as his DI.
[re=37248]Thanatopsis[/re]: Yeah, that was back in the good ol’ days, when you had to cut down an apple tree to get the wood to make a real apple computer. And we wore an onion on our belts, which was the custom of the time.
Damn! I want one of those Rand corp PC’s. That big chrome steering wheel, sweet!
The C students will inherit the earth.
Is he trying to court the votes of anti-nuke hippies like me by claiming he wouldn’t be able to push the button because he’s technologically retarded and/or arthritic?
[re=37283]Combover[/re]: Yes, the steering wheel is the original Wii controller; works for Poll Position, too.
[re=37332]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: It was right after his friend, George W. (the Original) chopped down a cherry tree to make some teeth.
If Cindy’s the one who is,literally, pushing the buttons, then I reckon Cindy oughta be steppin’ up to the plate to answer some questions, the trollop.
So he didn’t study hard enough to fly his plane, which he crashed in Nam, got caught, didn’t leave when they offered, and we are supposed to feel sorry for this mcdick
[re=37270]madirishman[/re]: I don’t get it either. They also get paid CRAP! I guess there are the book deals and speaking that follow…
Way to distance yourself from Chimpy, John. Anything he can do, you can do worse.
[re=37363]1ofUS[/re]: Ugh. Evolution = Lowest Common Survivanator.
