McCain Endorses Obama’s Troop Withdrawal Plan

John McCain wants a new gifJohn McCain went on Larry King Live last night and said that Barack Obama had been right about everything and he was withdrawing from the presidential race in order to pursue his dream of being a Wal-Mart greeter. Ha ha, we kid! But McCain did say he was maybe OK with a 16-month “time horizon” or whatever they’re calling it these days, if “conditions on the ground” in Iraq permitted. In other words, what Barack Obama said. Oh he is a terrible flip-flopping elitist pig, this John McCain! Why does he hate America? [Political Ticker]

    PROOF that all of this is a semantics misunderstanding, people! One more reason to have people on both sides of the isle learn Esperanto.

    “You say timeline, I say horizon…let’s call the whole thing off!”

    Why does he hate America?
    Must be the brain tumor.

    He was wrong until he was right, now GET OFF My oh, why bother.

    words count. words like c*unt. Words, of wit and wisdom, dot com. word.

    Ugh. Can you imagine *that* creepy smile/laugh greeting you when you walk into a Walmart?

    “What Sen. Obama doesn’t understand is that they are all connected,” McCain said Monday…”If we had lost the war in Iraq, we would have had much greater problems in Afghanistan.
    Oh, of course. We invaded Iraq to shore up our left flank there. Don’t worry, he’s not making any more sense than he did before — although he thinks quite highly of his plan to encircle Abyssinia in a pincer movement.

    “I also support and oppose gay marriage, gun control, the draft, tight fiscal monetarism, lower taxes, mass transit, off shore drilling, torture, evangalism, cream cheese, long naps, rich wives, legalized marijuana, Crazy Root hair oil, states rights and abortion. So there, ya little fuckers.”

    That not old age we can believe in!

    gjdodger:
    It’s not a toomah!

    SayItWithWookies: Yup! Iraq was a faint…that took 80% of our communications equipment, helicopters, air support, M4’s, up-armoreds and cell phone jammers (for IEDs, etc, etc…

    Our callsign…SIDESHOW. I am not kidding.

    No bitterness here.

    Fucking Media Whore.

    Larry King will do anything to look younger.

  12. itgetter:

    He wouldn’t be the greeter. They’d have him stocking shelves back by the motor oil and he’d be completely crabby and unhelpful if you asked him where something is in the store.

    “Welcome to Walmart, you trollopy cunt”

  14. Johnny Zhivago says at 12:34 pm, July 29th, 2008

    I’d have him running the computer department.

    “Always low expectations. Always”

    Terry: That would be a disaster! Have you seen him try to retrieve applesauce from a shelf?

  17. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 12:37 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Terry: Even better, they would send him to man electronics. Have you ever noticed how the people working in electronics have never had any experience with them? This keeps both them and the customers in a perpetual daze that allows for greater sales of shit that you aren’t sure you need (if your an idiot).

  18. itgetter: I’d buy Target stock.

  19. Political_Muse says at 12:37 pm, July 29th, 2008

    I’m telling you, McCain is sucking up in the hopes that Obama will make him his VP.

  20. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 12:41 pm, July 29th, 2008

    John McCain was up that late? I figured he passed out in a tattered la-z-boy about 6:30, after filling his gullet at the Old Country Buffet.

  21. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:50 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Did any of you even see “Time Horizon?”
    That was some fucked up shit…

    It might have been “Event Horizon,” but even so, scary man. Scary as hell.

  22. Godot:
    The smart money is on Old Navy.

  23. SayItWithWookies says at 12:54 pm, July 29th, 2008

    AfghanVet: That’s sad but not surprising. Of course, all that’s George Tenet’s fault. When 9/11 happened, Rummy didn’t have any plans for invading or securing Afghanistan. Tenet jumped in with the CIA’s mujaheddin connections and (with accompanying air power) kicked major ass before most of the US ground forces got there. Rummy bled Afghanistan of troops and equipment to one-up Tenet and do his own war in style. There is no limit to what those fuckers will play politics with.

  24. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:09 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Servo: Can you crash planes into the “Old Navy?”

  25. jagorev says at 1:12 pm, July 29th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: I lol’d at the ‘Abyssinian pincer’. It’s about as reasonable a strategy as invading Iraq.

  26. shortsshortsshorts:
    Only if they’re constructed of wrinkle-free khaki.

    Hillary could pull a few strings to get him a choice location.

  28. masterdebater says at 1:49 pm, July 29th, 2008

    50 bucks says he can’t remember saying it this morning. It was LAST NIGHT people…he was probably tired. Larry’s on late.

  29. ReelectTilden says at 2:02 pm, July 29th, 2008

    That was Kodos speaking. McCain is in a tube in a spaceship orbiting Earth.

    That video is so Derwood trapped in the painting.
