THERE'S MORE CHEEK WHERE THAT CAME FROM

What Is Happening To Our Fair Walnuts?

Here’s John McCain — who we hope never gets cancer again, BRIDGET — explaining his little operation this morning: “I, as I do every three months, visited my dermatologist this morning. She said that I was doing fine. (She) took a small little nick from my cheek as she does regularly and that will be … biopsied just to make sure that everything is fine.” She takes pieces of his cheek regularly? Then how is there SO MUCH CHEEK remaining? [Washington Post]

    “Then how is there SO MUCH CHEEK remaining?”

    Ummmmm, Jim? Have you LOOKED at the size of his jowls lately?

    Where does Obama stand on cheek removal? Does he pass the Cronenberg threshhold? Is his “Turning the Other Cheek” figurative or literal? Inquiring minds need to know, because there’s no way we’re being harder on him than Walnuts, as Walnuts IS HAVING HIS FACE REMOVED.

  3. Ravaged and plundered and ripped him and bit him
    Stuck him with knives in the side of the dawn
    And tied him with fences
    And dragged him down

    Mittens has his fingers crossed. Well, he’s crossing the fingers he doesn’t use to massage WALNUTS! prostate.

    “getting a piece of cheeck removed” (read: old people botox)

  6. ‘Pimplegate’ deepens! The crisis comes to a head!

    ugh, CNN just had a headline on McCain having a ‘mole’ removed from his face. What a disgusting old man. Sadly, there was no t-shirt offered for this earth-shattering news bit. There is, however, the “Moustache Pulls Batter Out of Slump” shirt, which i think is mildly intriguing…

  8. superfecta says at 4:55 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Did he specify a face cheek? Because it could easily have been the other sort, given what a huge ass he is.

  9. Dramatist says at 4:56 pm, July 28th, 2008

    TGY: I can’t wait to see what juicy details pop out when this story gets squeezed some more.

  10. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 4:56 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Its amazing what you can do with silly putty.

  11. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:57 pm, July 28th, 2008

    I want a president who carves his own face up with a red-hot Bowie knife when he sees something he doesn’t like, not some pansy who’ll go to a “dermatologist.”

  12. whiteguyinshaw says at 4:58 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Real Americans get their cheeks removed, not Barack “black don’t crack” Obama. Terrorist.

  13. magic titty says at 4:59 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Jim, you’re thinking of the wrong cheeks. Though there might be some jowling down there too.

  14. SayItWithWookies says at 4:59 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Um…has anyone told McCrone that you don’t just randomly biopsy skin on a regular basis? I mean, most dermatologists look for some sort of suspicious pre-cancerous spot before carving out a chunk of it. There’s always the possibility that all of McCrone’s face is pre-cancerous, but I sorta doubt it.

    Then again, maybe this permanent running biopsy thing is a new medical technique that McCrone picked up on the Iraqi-Pakistani border when he was investigating the al-Qaida fighters trained by Iran who were planning some sort of attack in Czechoslovakia.

  16. will ya’ll leave da ol man alone, he’s so cute and gettin slimminger by da day. comes on, you wish uze looking like him when u iz 85

  17. Scarab says at 5:02 pm, July 28th, 2008

    “She said that I was doing fine.”
    Then she performed an actual medical test in remote chance that her saying it wasn’t enough.
    “I then said that we’re winning in Iraq.”
    So you see, it’s all good.

  18. Dramatist says at 5:03 pm, July 28th, 2008

    How can we be sure that John McCain is not actually FBI Agent Sean Archer, or possibly even global terrorist Castor Troy?

  19. Mahousu says at 5:05 pm, July 28th, 2008

    “If your dermatologist wants to take your right cheek, offer her the other also.”

    IT’S IN THE BIBLE, PEOPLE!!

  20. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 5:05 pm, July 28th, 2008

    The only people who go to a dermatologist every few months are the ones who need a touch-up on their botox.

  21. ReelectTilden says at 5:08 pm, July 28th, 2008

    I think they’re cloning him. LI’L WALNUTS IN 2044!

  22. pondscum says at 5:08 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): So, you’re saying this is a cover for Cindy…

  23. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 5:11 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Please remove more cheek. There is to much already.

  24. edgydrifter says at 5:11 pm, July 28th, 2008

    He’s like a jowl shark. You can rip off hunks of his face and new malignant lumps fill in the voids two days later.

  25. nietzscheprojectile says at 5:13 pm, July 28th, 2008

    superfecta: But then that would mean he’d been exposing THOSE cheeks regularly and that’s really not something that should see daylight.

  26. anabellum says at 5:20 pm, July 28th, 2008

    perhaps its time to direct the dreaded Wonkette ‘prince of darkness’ curse at another target?…

    just a thought…

    it did seem to work last time…

  27. PrairiePossum says at 5:20 pm, July 28th, 2008

    It must be nice to have health insurance that allows you a trip to the dermatologist every 3 months for a cheek check.

    Too bad WALNUTS doesn’t want taxpaying Americans to have insurance coverage similar to Congress’ plan.

  28. edgydrifter says at 5:27 pm, July 28th, 2008

    PrairiePossum: Quit yer bitchin’, you lazy, filthy hippie. You want health coverage? Go find yourself a beer empire heiress to marry and use her family money and connections to jumpstart your senatorial campaign. That’s the American way, by God, and only a sniveling leftist traitor would need me to spell it out so plainly.

  29. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 5:37 pm, July 28th, 2008

    pondscum: No, I’m saying that he looks that old even with the botox.

  30. Hooray For Anything says at 5:37 pm, July 28th, 2008

    McCain has gotten so much skin removed that by the time of the election, he’ll look like Voldermort.

  31. PrairiePossum says at 5:44 pm, July 28th, 2008

    edgydrifter:

    I don’t need a blonde pill poppin’ beer heiress. I have the great Black Muslim Hopey. He will make sure everyone gets a cheek check. Frequent cheek checks for the huddled massses - Now that’s change I can believe in.

  32. Outstando says at 6:03 pm, July 28th, 2008

    I seem to remember that McCain’s face was this weird color of beet red for a while there. Was that more cancer, or was he just really embarrassed because of his role in the S & L crisis?

  33. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 7:15 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Why doesn’t Cindy just suck those polyps out at home, or on the jet. It would save so much time with the dermatologists.

  34. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 7:29 pm, July 28th, 2008

    So he damaged his skin? When was he the bain de soleil man?

  35. Volumptuous says at 8:50 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Which of his faces was this removed from?

  36. liquiddaddy says at 9:28 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Why can’t he get new teeth for crissakes? If Lou Dobbs can get new choppers, why not McNasty?

  37. Volumptuous says at 10:51 pm, July 28th, 2008

    liquiddaddy: He did get some! Only it was in 1876 and they’re made of wood.

  38. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:33 am, July 29th, 2008

    “Then how is there SO MUCH CHEEK remaining?”

    ‘Cause Jesse Jackson keeps feeding Scary “Juan” McSquirrel more nuts!!
