Wonkette
John McCain gave a speech at the NAACP convention today and, to publicize the event, his campaign authorized Dr. Ada Fisher, a Republican running for the House in North Carolina’s 12th district, to speak as an official surrogate to journalists covering it. That may not have been the best decision, however, as she offered some pretty inflammatory thoughts about how Barack Obama’s admitted past drug use should disqualify him from the presidency. According to Tampa’s WMNF radio — which sent Wonkette a partial transcription of its interview with Fisher, which they will air tonight — Fisher said, among other things, “We cannot have a nation high on drugs and have the President… as an example.” Thanks, Ada! Now we have to deal with this again.
Here’s the rest of WMNF’s partial transcript:
AF: “…Obama in his book about his father talked about his use of drugs. And I think it’s disingenuous of people to vote for somebody for President when you won’t allow a drug user in any secure or nuclear facility. Yet we as a nation, are willing to consider making somebody President of the United States I think that speaks very poorly…Bill Clinton said he smoked but he didn’t inhale…But he didn’t come out and flagrantly say he used drugs…and if that’s going to be our standard God helps us in nuclear facilities and secure facilities who have this kind of history..and this nation must be very careful when it lowers the bar on who and what it will accept.
MP: Well Dr. Fisher, let me pick up on that…you mention Bill Clinton did not deny inhaling…or I guess he did deny inhaling, but that did come up in his campaign.
George Bush there were many rumors about cocaine that he never really dismissed, so isn’t that unfair to criticize Senator Obama for being forthright and honest about this, uh admitting in his youth?….
AF: See, if you admit it, it should disqualify you. Otherwise, we’ll have to let all those people who …applied for jobs in these facilities…There is a reason that those rules are there. I was a detox director for 16 counties in North Carolina , so I have a great understanding about what drugs and what they do to people. And I know that in moments of weakness, people tend to revert those things that they’ve used in the past. I don’t think it’s disingenuous, I don’t think its fair. If I ran for President of the U.S. and I had that history, I would expect people to look at that very carefully. We cannot have a nation high on drugs and have the President… as an example. I’m sorry I disagree with that.
Exactly. We much prefer the politicians who lie about the drugs they obviously did decades earlier in their lives over the ones who mention it in a single line of a book written forever ago.
So now we know what happened to the mother of the “It’s Raining McCain” lady…
I heard that WALNUTS! snorted the pulverized bones of gook children. Does that count?
So if you lie about your past drug use it’s okay, but if you tell the truth it’s not? It appears that the GOP uses the same logic for drug use as they do for homosexuality!
This is like how your mom is all “if you tell the truth, you won’t get in trouble,” and then she beats the hell out of you with a clothes hanger for telling the truth about how you broke the window or whatever.
She’s high.
Is this the lady who had McCain’s bastard kid?
I smoked dope. Now I can never run the country. Darn
John McCain is sleezier than I thought. Maybe we need to go back and investigate just how much Pills Cindy “Skelator” McCain was poppin’ and just how much she stole.
Perhaps Ada should focus on those pounds from snacking on those Freedom Fries.
As long as she tells us its OK to masturbate, she’s an OK doctor.
I’m sure everyone trusts Jabba the Doctor on her medical opinions.
Physician, exercise thyself.
She looks like Miss Cleo, though.
She doesn’t even consider the possibility that Obama lied in his book and he never really even did drugs. That would make him both a liar and a non-drug user which would make him doubly qualified by her standard.
Trollopy cunt.
I trust this means that Johnny Mac’s past hooker use is just fine.
“We cannot have a nation high on drugs and have the President… as an example.”
Next thing you know, all the kids will be listening to the devil’s music — jazz!
Larry Fine: I masturbate to the Teletubbies…
Mediahohoho: On life!
Remember that stoopit campaign? Totally made me want to do bong hits and take windowpane. Maybe that’s what happened to Barry, the “Just Say No” ads drove him over the edge.
Gopherit v2.0: Seriously. I wonder how she would ever have the audacity to question her patient’s weight.
In many respects food is considered a drug. I would recommend her to Overeater’s Anonymous, but she would probably eat the entirety of Overeater’s Anonymous.
mookworthjwilson: As long as it’s not to the Purple one with the purse, it’s okay.
I tried coke once, but the bubbles kept getting up my nose.
There I’ve admitted it.
Gopherit v2.0: It’s not a purse. It’s a magic bag.
shortsshortsshorts: I hear oxygen is also a drug. And she’s taking an unfair share of the stash, man.
I blame the gays
Gopherit v2.0: It looks like a second doctor is trying to grow out of her neck.
shortsshortsshorts: She just released her autobiography: “The Audacity of Cheese Fries”.
I’ve worked with quite a few fat doctors who eat fast food everyday. A lot of them smoke, too. Addiction is a bitch.
I couldn’t say anything funny about this even if I were to try. It’s just that depressing.
Doctor, African-American, drug warrior. Perfect.
So if we can’t elect a president who tried to fit in with the cool crowd by pretending he snorted some yay in college, we really can’t have a president whose better half stole 20 Vicodin a day from her own charity.
Vote for alcoholic Hillary Clinton instead!
Keep in mind: thats the best picture of her they could find….
WhatTheHeck: I prefer Mexican coke. Made with real sugar and smuggled across the border by small children.
Cicada: I had a doctor who ended up on “The Biggest Loser”, good doctor, just couldn’t lose the weight until he got on a regiment. Sometimes bad hitters make great hitting coaches.
Barry is an inspiration to all those kids who dabble in coke, enjoy a fat J, and someday hope to run for office.
Poor thing doesn’t know what she’s gotten herself into. She’ll be crying by sundown, wailing by midnight, and hanging herself with her stethoscope by morning.
(Really, what kind of doctor/politician wears a stethoscope in a campaign ad?)
She is a 1980s hospital sitcom waiting to happen. Amazing.
All the good Doctors Congressmen need to unite their movements.
You know, it’s rather disingenuous of Dr Ada M Fisher to disingenuously use the word “disingenuous” so many times, and in contradictory ways, that it’s disingenuously obvious that she doesn’t have a fucking disingenuous clue as to what it means.
BreakfastBeer: This kind:
http://files.meetup.com/508245/Dr.%20Ron%20Paul%20-%20Hope%20for%20America%20Flyer.jpg
Cicada: Oops, not a stethoscope, but the same principle.
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: Bowel movements?
You Hippocratical bitch! We are running out of options here! What do you want? A president who killed gooks? You do?!? Well then…carry on.
The Audacity of Cheese Fries wins, btw. It wins by A LOT.
V572625694: Word, that was the first thing I noticed too. Maybe she got an ESL thesaurus where “disingenuous” was listed as a synonym for “bad.”
Walnuts did a lot of cocaine when it was sold as “hair tonic” at the World’s Fair.
That’s just plain funny. I know W NEVER EVER did anything like that…
tunamelt: Adaturds and Paultards… coincidence?
She so fat she had to have a dot org cause a dot com wasn’t big enough!
ronaldpagan: Actually, given that he’s 200 years old, it’s possible that WALNUTS! could have drunk the original formula Coca-Cola, which had cocaine in it. I demand an investigation!
She’s making it seem as if drugs are bad. Why does she hate america so much?
“I was a detox director for 16 counties in North Carolina..” Lord help us.
Manofsteel: maybe something like …’Takin it Off”…about a fat farm, where shes the head doctor…with a gospel tinged theme song….and a gay male nurse for extra phunny power?…
I agree. Let’s impeach the druggie wino!
“Get a Doctor in the House!” That’s sista Ada’s slogan, and who better to minister to Hopey’s drug withdrawals than a good doctor. On the other hand, dear Ada may have skeletons in her own closet…from her campaign site: “Ada had instilled in her early on through the Baptist upbringing of Durham’s White Rock Baptist Church, where her father was the minister..” and haven’t heard all about them hateful church ministers with they crazy social engineering and radical politoco notions? Maybe, but her work as “substance abuse director” could make her a potential Cabinet member in the biparty Obama presidency, yeah?
I say, Bring it on, Ada, let’s dance!
ronaldpagan: So, if I understand this correctly, doing a little weed and a bit of blow disqualifies you to be President, because these drugs are EEEEEEEEVIL and might lose the war for the Allies.
But chugging Jack Daniels like it’s Gatorade is okay, because alcohol is AMERICAN!
Whew! I’m glad somebody explained all that for me.
Seriously, I find it fascinating how whitey keeps using black folk to attack the Hopey. FIX News, McSame, MSNBC, that Anderson boy on CNN….always asking the darkies, “Don’t you HATE the way Osama, I mean Obama’s getting away with it? How do you FEEL about it?!”
magic titty: She’s just trying to get press coverage for her new book, “Dreams of My Cheese Curds”
I heard McCain was into laudanum and absinthe when he was in his 20s, but I’m not sure they were illegal yet.
Jeez, how’d you like to get a prostate exam from her? Her damn forefinger’s probably as big around as a Coke can even before she puts on the glove.
Mediahohoho: hell yeah, she’s high. just look at those squinty eyes and that blissed out grin. plus the rambling incoherence of the interview. doc’s been helping herself to handfuls at the pharmacy.

“Family portrait taken in 1958 at Durham’s White Rock Baptist Church Parsonage.
(Dr. Fisher on the right arm of the chair)”
Q: In the glasses, or the dress?
(And are all those children from Mama, or has the sanctified Dr. Fisher been fishin’ behind Mama’s back? I’ve *heard* about those preachers and small church towns.)
I protest. I wanted a doctor who would solve all my problems, but all I get is this.
My faith in democracy is on tenterhooks.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl: There is no such thing as a coincidence. It’s fate, baby, fate.
shortsshortsshorts:
yep, that is one lady who is obviously addicted to ‘high’ fructose corn syrup.
She needs an organic intervention asap.
yup, I always listen to the advice of overweight doctors. Just like my bankrupt financial advisor: always on top of the shit I care about.
Distractions!!! Why are we forever getting snagged on these petty little details and forgetting the issues of the day. Like this one: “Miley Cyrus is determined to stay a virgin until she weds, insisting she gets a thrill from staying pure.” Now THAT’s news!!
We cannot have a nation high on drugs and have the President… as an example.
Haha. Does this bitch live in America?
Ada M. Fisher must have an opponent, and I would like to suggest this campaign slogan to him or her (it’s always extra-fun when you can use your opponent’s own words to take her down):
“This nation must be very careful when it lowers the bar on who and what it will accept.”
And that, my friends, is why Ada can go back to detoxing 16 North Carolina counties or whatever the heck she does when she’s not running for Congress.
Isn’t that in the Constitution somewhere? Must be 35 years old, a natural born citizen, never have done illegal drugs, or did they repeal that Amendment?
Adam Fisher? Transvestite alert! (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
Any doctor stupid enough to not realize Bush’s history of alcoholism is more of a medical issue than Clinton’s marijuana dalliance, well it probably means she’s been smoking something. If you’re the detox director for 16 counties, it means your an adminstrator, not someone actually dealing with the problems of the patients. It’s like Bush saying he understands war, since he made so many thousands experience it.
madirishman: You’re on the right track, but real Americans chug Gatorade like it’s Jack Daniels.
sati demise: Word. And constant beatings…
I hear constant beatings do a lot for your cholesterol level.
Whaddya bet McSenile gives her HHS. Or EPA. And after a few years they’ll find out she was taking bribes from the Hostess Twinkies people. And she’ll end up as Big Mama in the Ida Lupino Correctional Facility for Women, where she’ll die of a coronary while she’s trying to take a dump.
Does that make everyone feel better?
Oscar Folsom Cleveland: Aw, she’s just being Miley (TM).
Sad to say, I can still listen to that fucking song for ages. That and Britney’s “Piece Of Me.”
Hey, if we’re already going to hell, we might as well be accompanied by synthesizers gone wild, right?
Yes, Yes, Yes, No, Yes, No
… oh wait, is that just one human?
Damn, I was going to say where do people like this get doctorates from until I saw it was the same place as my parents. I hope that curse is not in my blood.
black people who are republicans are just funny. something has obviously snapped in her beacuse of her choice of fonts in her website.
What I would do for a comments section of her website…well, I guess then I’d spend less time here.
Check out her photos, like every one is of her pressing her bubbly ‘personality’ against some old white dude, with the occassional Bro and Geraldo for good measure.
http://www.dradamfisher.org/photo_gallery/11_amf_trolley2.jpg
This is one dynamic campaign bus. But is it ‘Straight’
CometHasTheFloor: Her Donation Button is also broken. And I have half a billion zimbabwe dollars to donate.
Either this lady is dumb or I’m dumb, because she basically just said that you are only disqualified to be President if you admit to your past drug use, but if you dodge questions about it and/or never actually admit to it, you’re A-OK? Huh? And can someone please define “disingenuous,” because thanks to her statement, now I’m confused about what it means.
tara: Her opponent is Mel Watt, a dem who’s been in the NC House since the early 90s. Dr. Ada’s a 3-time loser in NC elections, but her latest slogans should change all that:
“Get a Doctor in the House” who’s “Good for What Ails Us!”
lawchic: Disingenuous is actually an elision of “This is in Jen. Can you keep it between just the two of us?”
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: I’ve heard that gravity is a drug. She’s using that up too.
Oh snap! Oh no you dint! I’m bout to pop off! Don’t go there girlfriend!
Apparently from the looks of her she thinks William Howard Taft was the best. president. ever.
FYI she is running against UNC grand and Billy Dee Williams wingman, Mel Watt:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin_Watt
MoodProcessor: She’s sharing it with the rest of us. Don’t get too close, or you might get caught within the event horizon of her completely racially transcendent gravity well.
It’s okay if you lie about it, just DON’T admit it…Jesse should cut her nuts off.
By this standard, being a well-known coke-head and alcoholic would have disqualified George Bush from being our illustrious President! Oh, right — he wasn’t qualified, was he?
Canmon (the Inadequate): FTW!!
BreakfastBeer: And which parts are the yesses, exactly?
Rodney Badger: “Running”? Doubtful.
FreshCliches: Ya I think we can assume she sloths her way from point A to point B with a Jabba The Hut type determination to get to said point B. Although, because she is addicted to eating and of course, being a loose cunt, she is usually unable to perform such sloth.
Her picture reminds me of a t-shirt I love — features two crazy beefs and says “the steaks are high”:
http://www.noisebot.com/the_steaks_are_high_t-shirt.htm
TPM opened the story on her direct mail company’s “fee” vs her “take” and blahblah she lost, but I think she prolly lost more by saying, “oh, that’s OK, they worked so hard for me. I was new.”
TPM=Talking Points Memo, and i’m not sayin’ anything else.
V572625694: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
It must be said: her grandparents took the Repubs offer of 40 acres and a mule, sold them and bought cocaine and/or heroin, put her parents thru college and they, in turn, gave her a shot at being a doctor…. thus making her ineligible to run for office…. ???
mookworthjwilson: Has your doctor returned from his tour of duty yet?
Sorry, couldn’t help it. You make a good point, and, the way I type, I think the alphabet goes q w e r t y ….
ADA! DR. ADA M. FISHER!
THIS IS THE POLICE!
PUT DOWN THE BAG OF DOUGHNUTS AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!
WE’VE GOT THAT CRISPY CREME SURROUNDED!!!!!
(By the way: Does Eddie Murphy know that one of his characters is a “designated spokesperson” for the McCain Campaign?)
Neilist: Actually, Krispy Kreme is spelled with a K.K. …hmm…
Neilist: Ada: LOGIN “AFISHER”. PASSWORD “L4RD”.
Police: WELL SHIT. WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO?
Sorry this comment is so late, but your post hit here in the CDT at exactly 4:20.
Sorry again. Forgot what I was going to say in my comment.
Her platform seems pretty much like the Dems: http://www.dradamfisher.org/issues.asp
And then - wow! - it hit me that she is Eddie Murphy in a drag suit and I wasn’t getting the joke.
She is opposed by Mel Watts, who has served eight terms in Congress, and has opposed the Iraq War consistently. The worst thing that can be said about Mel Watts is that he went to Yale U — like the Clintons, the Bushes, the Kerry, the CIA, Saddam Hussein, Ahmad Ahmedinejah, Satan, Sally Struthers, and Jerry Falwell. But not Jesse Helms.
She should be a spokeswhore for Weight Watchers!
Slutty_Chola_Cobbler: I wouldn’t want to see the “before” pictures.
I saw the Eddie Murphy thing too!!!!
I don’t think we should use GWB as an example of a preznit who used drugs, because, srsly, that just backs her argument that druggies shouldn’t become president. George SHOULDN’T have been elected, not because of the drug thing, more the retard who’s wrong about everything thing, but still.
I was a detox director for 16 counties in North Carolina , so I have a great understanding about what drugs and what they do to people.
Ugh. Such typical neo-prohibitionist bullshit, worshipping at the altar of the “everyone is an addict” philosophy so popular in the medical community today. Yeah, I’m sure the worst drug abusers in North Carolina are a sorry-ass lot, but please stfu. There are millions of people who try drugs and don’t ever get hooked. Some of us can handle our business!
Don’t you see, it’s a campaign tip! Democrats admit they did drugs, but Republicans lie about it!
She does not, however seem to have a great understanding about what a diet of flamin’ hot cheetos, slurpees, and little debbies do to people… we can not have a nation full of fatass slobs and have the Congresswoman from the 12th bumfuck district representin’ up in the House… chunky ass bitch
Ada Fisher is hot! She’s the next cover girl for Maxim and Hustler!
Please run more pictures of Ada Fisher!!!!!!
Dr. Ada M. Fisher career was suddenly cut short after she was caught making out Oprah Acolyte Gayle King.
Her logic is very hard to follow, partially because it’s sofuckingretarded and partially because she’s profoundly bad at articulating her thoughts.
“We cannot have a nation high on drugs and have the President… as an example. I’m sorry I disagree with that.”
What???
RuperttheBear: WIN
The opening chapters describe how she paid her way through med school serving as Jabba the Hutt’s stunt double. Her first campaign was later paid for by her being the model for Episode I’s Boss Nass.
Let’s cut her nuts off.
thefrontpage: Must see Ada Fisher naked but for wet American flag concealing the naughty parts! Wonkette, please make it happen.
I hope she’s not giving any of her patients weight loss advice.*
*Yes, I know it’s not size transcendence, but this is Wonkette.
anabellum: From what I’ve heard, that’s about a 1/3 of all the Curves franchises.
Hey Ada, can I do a line off you ass? We can dance naked on the table together!
Does ADA know about Laura Bush running down and killing her boy friend in Texas? Has she heard about the DRUGS W easel used? Eat shit ADA.
Can’t we all just get along?
