LONE REPORTER GREETS MCCAIN PLANE: “In Manchester last night, there was just one reporter and one photographer waiting for McCain as his plane — a white, blue and gold Boeing 737-400 emblazoned with his campaign slogan, ‘Reform, Prosperity, Peace’ — touched down on the Wiggins Airways tarmac. The Vietnam War veteran limped as he made his way down the metal stairway ….” [N.H. Union Leader]

Oh, oh, wait, don’t tell me. John McCain is the *other* presidential candidate, right?
“Reform, Prosperity, Peace.” Since when did this become Orwell’s 1984?
and Ron Paul stayed flat.
The site says he’s making the “OK” sign but, if I recall correctly, the
National Lampoon once identified this as a secret homosexual signal indicating
“There’s a Greek freighter in the harbor, and my asshole’s bleeding like a bitch”.
Well, now that you have denounced and rejected the media, WALNUTS, things might not go so well for you.
My sympathies, you poor, innocent old man.
Somewhere out of the country, Karl Rove is laughing.
A white, blue and gold Boeing 737-400? GOLD??? GOLD!!! IT SHOULD BE RED YOU FUQING MORAN! AS IN RED WHITE AND BLUE! As in…THE COLOR OF THE AMERICAN FLAG? Traitor.
Reform, prosperity, peace: pick any two.
“Corruption, Collaspe, War”
Andrea Mitchell, back already?
Read the comments. HILLLLARIOUS!!!
“Delegates, just vote for Ron Paul at the convention and save this country.
- Mike, Gaffney, SC”
“The Arizona Republican will be in Rochester today. He is slated to speak at the Rochester Opera House at noon.
Campaign staffers said McCain will take questions during the event, which is open to the public. No tickets are required.” “Grappone said the campaign was prepared for an “overflow” crowd…”
The Rochester Opera House, holds only 600, and is located about 5 minutes from the Maine border.
Has his campaign really come to this - flying to a state he should win, nobody there to greet him, speaking at an auditorium in the middle of nowhere, and hoping for a crowd of 601?
NotAnEvilLobbyist:
*in a hundred years. The small print’s the kicker.
does he have his “help, i’ve fallen and i can’t get up” necklace on him? “metal stairway” and “limp” do not a good combination make…
Did anyone greet Cindy McCain’s small private jet?
Were the words Coke.Cock.Cookies emblazoned on the side?
Wait, if there was only one reporter there, who wrote this article? Was there a second reporter behind the grassy knoll?
Jewdishoowary Square: i’m listening…i’m listening…
Jewdishoowary Square: This was written in elitist, third-person yet self-referential style typical of the liberal Northeast… or a Hollywood screenwriter
New wording for the plane:
“Alone again, naturally.”
Poor reporter - didn’t get the memo that Walnuts! is just a nickname and not one of the hors d’œuvres.
New Hampshire - “Live Free or Die!” Kinda sounds like the perfect place to bury McSame, who seems confused about wars and political campaigns.
Q2: If this is the plane he borrowed from his wife, the gold is probably the rich, rich color of Bud Light. That is, a pale, washed-out yellow.
Sort of like his wife, these days. Honestly, check her out in this photo:

She looks like she’s just praying for it all to end.
My god, I got sucked in to reading the comments on the Manchester Union Leader. How far to the right of retarded do you have to be to continue to believe that the MSM has a liberal bias?
“I hope everyone remembers all of this enthusiasm when your taxes are thru the roof, oil is at $300 a barrel and no new exploration takes place. Make sure you enjoy $10 a gallon and riding the RTD bus in your Obama t-shirt to work at McDonalds.”
I just can’t believe these people actually think Obama is trying to make gas more expensive by NOT wanting to drill for more oil. Do they not realize that we need something better than just oil?
You know what I like? How the only reporter who showed up was like, “holy shit, I’m the only one here, this has got to be a story!”
I like the below note to the astute commenters over at the Union Leader:
“NOTE: If you have read this article before, you may not be seeing the newest comments. Press F5. Or click “Refresh” or “Reload” at the top of this page while holding down Ctrl. All approved postings will appear. ”
Also: Remember to send your grandchildren 5$ for Memorial Day.
There was only one reporter to greet McCain, but ominously a dozen were vultures flying overhead.
All this bullshit about “the media’s love affair with Barack Obama” has everything bass-ackwards.
In truth, the media loves John McCain. Loves him enough to not cover his campaign. Because if they did cover it, they’d be obligated to report every stupid thing the man utters, which takes place at least once daily.
Instead of reportage on McCain’s daily malaprop/mangle, we have the press corps pouncing on Hopey like hounds on a meatwagon, sniffing for any discrepancy in policy ["flip-flopper!"], any sign of a superiority complex ["elitist!"], any indication of frustration or exasperation ["has he REALLY got what it takes to do this job?"]
Questions you won’t hear the press ask McCain:
“Why are you running a TV commercial that taunts Obama for not going to Iraq, while he’s IN Iraq?”
“Why does your web site contintue to count the days since Obama’s been in Iraq, while he’s IN Iraq?”
“Why did you castigate Obama for NOT going to Iraq, only to have your surrogates pronounce that he won’t learn anything there, when he’s IN Iraq?”
