Wonkette
Oh hey wait a minute! Clever Wonkette operative “Genie” has dug up this McCain ad from all the way back in May — those tranquil days of spring before WALNUTS! dropped the applesauce and conceded to the ambitious youngster with the killer jump shot. Why was he calling himself “President McCain” so many months before the election? Because um the AMERICAN PEOPLE might have an opinion about that!!?! Appalling footage of this terribly presumptuous man after the jump.
John McCain has BOLD SOLUTIONS for making a mock apple pie using his wife’s stolen recipes. (Hint: Ritz crackers!)

If by ‘clever’, you mean ’someone who watches Stephen Colbert’, then, yeah. Colbert also mentioned that the text is written vertically so that McCain’s supporters, who are mostly bed-ridden, can read it.
I know where you’re going with this, but hold your horses — everybody knows white folks can’t be uppity.
AnnieGetYourFun: Ha ha! That’s what I get for watching “State of Play” on the DVD last night.
I just don’t get presumptuousness in presidential candidates. What kind of person must you be if you run for president presuming that people will vote for you? This is madness, I swear.
…he isn’t just the President, he also a client!
Are you saying Richard Cohen is full of shit?
I want to watch TeeVee and be a Wonkette operative.
AnnieGetYourFun: Is it really that purposeful? I would have thought he/his staff accidentally hit some sort of damn-fangled button on his computer while typing this and couldn’t figure out how to fix the orientation.
OH U! It’s not presumptuous when white people do it!
Delicious: believe in hope delish…it can happen for you!
Does McCain’s mock apple pie contain applesauce? And does Cindy suggest substituting crushed-up Vicodin for the sugar? These are the REAL issues, people!
…Exxon-Mobil just made 11.7 BILLION last quarter! Thats good right?
AnnieGetYourFun:
I’m curious as to why the photo focuses mainly on his suit and tie, rather than on his face. Does he get a discount on clothes if he features each new outfit? Or do his handlers realize that McCain is scary, that his eyes have that dead black look of shark eyes, and that keeping the cameras back is a good idea.
President of WHAT!? The Southwest Regional Rascal Scooter Club?
AngryBlakGuy: Yeah, that’s a wonderful thing. That means they’ve made enough money they can drop the price of gas to the floor, cuz they don’t need to make any more money. We’ll go with that…
AngryBlakGuy: Of course — as long as the rich are getting richer faster than the poor and middle class are getting poorer, the economy is in good shape.
Looks like someone stole the opening credits for ER.
President of Boca Del Vista.
Tort reform is such a hot issue right now.
i had to put this one on digg for all the bitters. http://digg.com/political_opinion/McCain_Just_as_Presumptuous_as_Obama
Servo: dammit
So that’s what they mean by another 4 years of Bush.
McCain’s already presnit and this accounts for all the dumb things he says.
Servo: …President of the AARP?
Goddamn uppity old white people just won’t ever learn their place — in the home.
AngryBlakGuy: I doubt he could get elected president of the Sun City HOA. No way all those old widows are voting for Cunt McRascal when there’s a nice “young” man around.
HedonismBot: …ironically, I wouldn’t be surprised if suddenly between now and lets say “November 4th” we start paying .99 cents a gallon(circa 1999-2000).
SayItWithWookies: …what are you talking about?! The only true barometer as to the health of the economy is the value of Rex Tillerson stock options!!!
AngryBlakGuy: That’s way too much power.
So does this mean McCain is a wigger?
His ’solution’ to the health care crisis is drug importation?
What drugs are included in this solution?
Fine if the drugs are from Canada. Not so great if they are from China.
I propose that we add “dropping the applesauce” to the official campaign lexicon, where it can take its place among proven winners like “swiftboating”, “thrown under the bus” and “Sister Souljah moment”.
Rachel Maddow mentioned this yesterday on Race for the Whitehouse, because she is made of awesome. She also noted other nuggets of presumptuousness from WALNUTS, including his giving a speech about what the world is like after his first term in office.
sati demise: Cindy’s in charge of scheduling the drug imports; they’ll primarily be from Afghanistan and Colombia.
sati demise: Columbia, My Friends!
In other news, how much of a douche is Dana Milbank for giving this stupid issue legs yesterday?
i meant ColOmbia.. any way you get it, right?
The best piece of flying text in there says, “End lawsuits.” Yes! That’d be sooooo sweet!
AnnieGetYourFun: Colbert Win.
itgetter: I want to have Rachel’s babies.
Terry: Anything to take the focus off the giant melanoma he calls a face.
This absolutely proves there is a conspiracy to install him in power.
Ending lawsuits is easy. Just get rid of all those pesky laws. There’s no downside to a complete lack of accountability, right? It’s working out so well in our financial markets at the moment.
President McCain isn’t doing too hot in the polls. Impeachment times nao?
When you mock apple pie, you mock America, my friend.
Vanity Smurf: Sun City HOA. Spot on! LOL
“President McCain” has a scary ring to it…
You liberals are so presumptious. The next thing you know, you will be calling this scion of Annapolis, who’s wife believes that the only way to get around Arizona is by private plane, an elitist.
Gopherit v2.0: Get in line.
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: ‘Damn-fangled Button’ would be a great name for a band.
Sara K. Smith: Lesson learned, then? I thought all pol bloggers had to, like, memorize teh snark news shows every night.
