George Stephanopoulos Attacked By John McCain’s Rabid Dogs

by Sara K. Smith

We did not see much of This Week on Sunday because there were more important things to do, like SLEEPING, but thank goodness the YouTubes were up to record this momentuous event, when John McCain’s dogs ran into the room while he was talking to George Stephanopoulos. We can posit with absolute certainty that this was by far the most exciting moment of the whole interview, which lasted one million years and ended with John McCain mixing up a warm glass of gin and Ovaltine and speeding away in his Ford Flex.

It’ll take more than a cute doggie to save John McCain.

WIDTAP July 28, 2008 at 10:29 am

McCain: Yeeess. Smithers! Release the hounds!

Darehead July 28, 2008 at 10:32 am

Bow wow Sam.
Sam bow wow.
I do not like Stephanapowow.

And that’s not mange we can believe in!

Hey great. I’m in while I’m at work. ( notice the restraint eith the exclamation points.)

mookworthjwilson July 28, 2008 at 10:41 am

Where’s Willard to ask the only question that needs to be asked???

lilblackcorvette July 28, 2008 at 10:43 am

eith=with it is embarrassing that i only speak one language

[re=45201]Darehead[/re]: Hey, be nice! It’s just getting a little thin on top.
Oh, you were talking about the dog. Sorry.

itgetter July 28, 2008 at 10:43 am

You know what beat this? The part in the interview when McCain apparently had a mini-stroke and contradicted himself five times while trying to explain whether or not he thinks the gayz should take in helpless little street urchins.

STEPHANOPOULOS: What is your position on gay adoption? You told the “New York Times” you were against it, even in cases where the children couldn’t find another home. But then your staff backtracked a bit. What is your position?

MCCAIN: My position is, it’s not the reason why I’m running for president of the United States. And I think that two parent families are best for America.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, what do you mean by that, it’s not the reason you’re running for president of the United States?

MCCAIN: Because I think — well, I think that it’s — it is important for us to emphasize family values. But I think it’s very important that we understand that we have other challenges, too.

I’m running for president of the United States, because I want to help with family values. And I think that family values are important, when we have two parent — families that are of parents that are the traditional family.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But there are several hundred thousand children in the country who don’t have a home. And if a gay couple wants to adopt them, what’s wrong with that?

MCCAIN: I am for the values that two parent families, the traditional family represents.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So, you’re against gay adoption.

MCCAIN: I am for the values and principles that two parent families represent. And I also do point out that many of these decisions are made by the states, as we all know.

And I will do everything I can to encourage adoption, to encourage all of the things that keeps families together, including educational opportunities, including a better economy, job creation.

And I’m running for president, because I want to help families in America. And one of my positions is that I believe that family values and family traditions are preserved.

(yeah, yeah, I know. tl/dr)

…in the immortal word of the philosopher Mittens “Who let the dogs out”?

Darehead July 28, 2008 at 10:46 am

Knock, Knock.
Who’s there?
Sam and John Mc–
Sam and John Mc-who?
Sam and John Mc- evening, you may see a stranger….

MrAgro July 28, 2008 at 10:47 am

[re=45216]itgetter[/re]: He is aware of all two-parent family traditions.

Delicious July 28, 2008 at 10:51 am

[re=45216]itgetter[/re]: The classic non-answer, and then the classic cop-out (leave it to the states).

He’s got my vote!

Darehead July 28, 2008 at 10:52 am

[re=45215]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Thanks! For not calling me a cXXt or a trollop. I see you are making progress in your anger management lessons.

AngryBlakGuy July 28, 2008 at 10:56 am

…if only those dogs began to hump Stephanopolous and WALNUTS! legs it would have perfectly summarized the entire interview!

Outstando July 28, 2008 at 10:57 am

What if a dog is one of the parents?

MrAgro July 28, 2008 at 10:57 am

I’m not sure if McCain repeating that “two-parent family tradition” spiel over and over is as painful as Obama feeling he has to state again and again that he values the contributions of the armed forces in the surge that technically worked if you discount a bunch of other factors and forget that it’s ultimately a distraction in an intractable, intra-country conflict. If Katie and Tom can’t get Barry to admit that the brave troops died for peanuts and that he is a disrespectful, shameless, peace-mongering libtard, then what chance does anyone else in the mainstream media have?

Delicious July 28, 2008 at 10:58 am

As long as dogs aren’t adopting cats…

Outstando July 28, 2008 at 10:58 am

[re=45225]Outstando[/re]: Maybe he’s being progressive. I know kids raised by wolves who are better adjusted than some kids who grew up in traditional Christian households. Though a pack of wolves is certainly more than two parents.

Not_So_Much July 28, 2008 at 10:58 am

Clearly, one of his handlers had the cute doggies sent in to distract when the interview was down in flames with the wings shot off…

Or, is that a bad analogy?

MrAgro July 28, 2008 at 11:00 am

[re=45225]Outstando[/re]: A doggie daddy is the least bizarre thing we’ll have to deal with if we let these homos have any more civil rights. How’d you like to chat up the in-laws Mother Marmoset and Father Ficus around the dinner table at Thanksgiving?

SayItWithWookies July 28, 2008 at 11:01 am

[re=45222]Darehead[/re]: I’m not there yet, but I’ve got a pretty good timetable.

AngryBlakGuy July 28, 2008 at 11:02 am

[re=45230]Not_So_Much[/re]: …nah, a bad analogy would be; “The interview blew up like a like a Sunni car bomb in Baghdad”!

Outstando July 28, 2008 at 11:07 am

[re=45231]MrAgro[/re]: And I was just getting used to Adam and Steve.

WadISay July 28, 2008 at 11:11 am

While these dogs are waiting for McCain to bust open another couple of jars of applesauce, maybe they could gay-adopt a stray puppy.

DieOnTheTurnpike July 28, 2008 at 11:12 am

What are his opinions about adoption by adulterous and/or divorced adults? Surely their lack of family values would conflict with raising children.

itgetter July 28, 2008 at 11:25 am

[re=45238]DieOnTheTurnpike[/re]: As long as your old wife became crippled and/or pudgy, I’m pretty sure it’s okay to cheat and divorce them. Or if they’re just too cunty.

Serolf Divad July 28, 2008 at 11:27 am

This was just a practice exercise. In the future, whenever McCain starts to visibly stammer of say patently absurd things to an interviewer, his handlers plan on opening the door and letting his dogs into the room to upset the interview. My sources tell me that McCain and his campaign staff have been practicing this sort of thing by staging mock interviews and using a campaign official wearing a jock-strap stuffed with Kibbles ‘n Bits and Snausages as a stand-in for the reporter. As soon as the dogs enter the room they start sniffing and pawing between the “reporter’s” legs.

Mission accomplished!

loudmouthredhead July 28, 2008 at 11:28 am

The man can’t manage domesticated animals and he expects us to let him play with nukes? That makes me giggle nervously just like Georgie there…

loudmouthredhead July 28, 2008 at 11:29 am

Wow, usually GOP attack dogs are fat, balding white men…I can’t tell if this is a step up or down.

mookworthjwilson July 28, 2008 at 11:32 am

Well since this is Stephanopoulos, I can’t stop thinking that Hills had something to do with this…she does remotely control him after all.

MoodProcessor July 28, 2008 at 11:34 am

What this clip didn’t show was the pile of crap on the rug behind Wally’s chair. It was obviously the dogs that made that mess. When all else fails, blame the dog.

loudmouthredhead July 28, 2008 at 11:38 am

[re=45245]Serolf Divad[/re]:
“But Senator McCain, what about the crippling over-extension of our military resources?”
“Um..well…surge good, and um.”
“DO you have a response? I…AWWWW, wook at teh wittle doggies! Who’s a good puppy? WHO’S A GOOD PUPPY?”

NoWireHangers July 28, 2008 at 11:40 am

Looks like the dogs smelled a little bitch and came runnin’.

sati demise July 28, 2008 at 11:40 am

Cindy let the dogs out of the bathroom while searching for her emergency stash. oooops!

Good distraction!

WadISay July 28, 2008 at 11:56 am

Next time BHO is interviewed, an old, ugly, arthritic dog should wander into the room and shit on the carpet. Barry will introduce the dog as “John” and make some remark about not being able to teach him any new tricks.

loudmouthredhead July 28, 2008 at 12:00 pm

[re=45280]WadISay[/re]: How subtle!

Canuckledragger July 28, 2008 at 12:28 pm

McCain: “Well, my friends, there are troubles on the border between Pakistan and Luxembourg…”

*cue for the puppies to enter, tails wagging*

Running mate Romney: “Who let the dogs out?”

McCain: “At least I don’t strap them to the roof of my REO Speedwagon like a trollop, you cunt.”

With the commentariat repeatedly pronouncing that McCain’s campaign has “gone to the dogs,” I suspect that if he wins the general, the puppies will get full credit for saving his campaign.

I for one welcome our new canine overlords.

eyesfriedopen July 28, 2008 at 12:50 pm

[re=45216]itgetter[/re]: Which is why McCain supports the Family Values Meal at McDonalds. Good for the gay agenda, good for the family values crowd. It’s win-win!

Oliver July 28, 2008 at 12:57 pm

[re=45216]itgetter[/re]: Jesus Christ. That’s just f’ing gibberish.

Which raises a question — could it be that McInsane is just not smart enough to be President? Either he’s so far gone that he secretly drools on himself, or he is just plain dumb.

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 28, 2008 at 1:03 pm

I still think Gregory Peck played the roll better in the original The Exorcist.

regisgoat July 28, 2008 at 1:18 pm

Crap. The one morning we oversleep something happens besides George Will muttering that global warming is a set up.
Has anyone gently posed the question to Grumpy McDiapers about how “if the surge is working, how come 60 people got their asses blown up this weekend?”

Canuckledragger July 28, 2008 at 1:46 pm

[re=45413]regisgoat[/re]: “Has anyone gently posed the question to Grumpy McDiapers about how “if the surge is working, how come 60 people got their asses blown up this weekend?”

Shhhh. It only counts as a casualty if it’s dressed in a US uniform. If’n yer countin’ Iraqis n’all, things are worse than they were before the “surge.” So the Iraqis cannot count.

The surge is working, if One-A-Day isn’t just your fave vitamin supplement, but also what you consider an acceptable troop loss rate.

WALNUTS! does. I do not.

S.Luggo July 28, 2008 at 2:02 pm

[re=45413]regisgoat[/re]: Answer: They would rather rather lose a surge in order to win a political campaign for Obama.

Aurelio July 28, 2008 at 2:03 pm

If you look carefully, you will see that Walnuts got his teeth whitened. See what all the ridicule on Wonkette about his old yellow snaggle-teeth made him do? I hope you’re satisfied.

Hooray For Anything July 28, 2008 at 2:30 pm

It sounds like one of the dogs names was “Sam” so I’m guessing the other dog is named “the Surge.”
