DNC Launches McCain/Gas Pump Pay Porn Site

by Jim Newell  1:42 pm August 6, 2008

From a DNC scribe: “The DNC is launching Exxonmccain.com this afternoon with a press conference with Governor O’Malley. As part of the effort the campaign has launched a website showing McCain’s ties and work on behalf of big oil. Besides a website, Democrats are going to hold Exxon-McCain events whenever John McCain or his surrogates are in their cities.” They attached this photo as a mockery of John McCain’s campaign. Ha ha. McCain will probably have a clever retort that shows… OBAMA HUGGING THE PUMP INSTEAD… WITH A TURBAN… AND TIRE GUAUUGAES MMHMM. [Exxon McCain]

I’ve seen better.

Okay, that’s about the cutest, funniest thing I’ve seen all day… and I’m addicted to lolcats.

norbizness August 6, 2008 at 1:50 pm

I thought the ad would have Exxon’s Tiger mascot delivering a molten gold enema to the Maverick, as a metaphor for the massive contributions he’s recently been getting from the industry, including a Chevron janitor who apparently found $45,000 lying around with the note “If Found, Please Return to the Republican National Committee.”

The quiz was way too easy; even freepers could pass.

TGY August 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm

WTF is up with this tire gauge crap? I seem to have missed a boat somewhere.

shortsshortsshorts August 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Serolf David would do a much better job, and also George Bush can be labeled with a lot of things, but I don’t think bad gas is one of them.

Doglessliberal August 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm

There is something very wrong with WALNUTS! His arms are severely shortened. He looks like a South Park character. Or maybe a 111 year old lizard.

Studge August 6, 2008 at 1:52 pm

That photo reminds me of Gene’s cafeteria speech near the end of Wet Hot American Summer:

“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some unfinished business to attend to…”

Hey, you should have a nice beefcake photo of O’Malley with with article. Got to balance out the American Apparel swim girl.

Scarab August 6, 2008 at 1:54 pm

Pump, crude, oiled, drilling, lubricant, wildcat? Where do I begin to make fun of this?

ManchuCandidate August 6, 2008 at 1:55 pm

Considering the oil cos pumped $ into Walnuts campaign, shouldn’t the pump be, uh, pumping McCain?

AngryBlakGuy August 6, 2008 at 1:57 pm

…using one of the old time gravity pumps would have been more affective.

RooseveltFranklin August 6, 2008 at 1:59 pm

The gas pump is as old as McCain. The only place to swipe a credit card is the crack of his ass.

SayItWithWookies August 6, 2008 at 1:59 pm

What?! A substantial and funny attack from the Democrats? Is this a fluke, or has somebody realized that rolling over isn’t the winningest strategy?

The Incomparable Tiny Valdez August 6, 2008 at 2:01 pm

So the DNC is getting all ACT UPish?

AnnieGetYourFun August 6, 2008 at 2:05 pm

Is this election going to be almost… snarky?

TGY August 6, 2008 at 2:05 pm

Ok, I am now up on the ‘tire gauge’ thing. At least a tire gauge is more useful than a divot tool.

collegeblogger August 6, 2008 at 2:07 pm

I absolutely cannot wait until November 2008 is over. I am so sick of
politics and mud slinging. I know it’s what we do, but give me a break.
I won’t go so far as to say I am thrilled with the two candidates, but I
will say that of the two, give me John McCain any old day. He may be old,
but we know where his loyalty lies. God bless America.

StripesAndPlaids August 6, 2008 at 2:07 pm

Looks like Johnny is dry humping the gas pump.

BadNewsJack August 6, 2008 at 2:08 pm

Look at him tearing up that pump. Excuse me while I tear my eyes from their sockets.

El Bombastico August 6, 2008 at 2:09 pm

I can’t tell who’s the “top” and who’s the “bottom” in this relationship.

Where’s the ad for the 90-pack of Old Milwaukee Lite for $12.99?

At least WALNUTS doesn’t have to worry about lube.

StripesAndPlaids August 6, 2008 at 2:11 pm

Dang…. The Democrats appear to be serious about this election.

[re=53180]collegeblogger[/re]: “give you Johnny McNasty any old day?”

OK. Take him today and I will give you a discount.
You must work for the Oil Industry, right?
Because thats where McCain has pledged his loyalty.

Or are you CONFUSED?

As Larry Craig said, he likes being jerked by a gas pump handle…

NoWireHangers August 6, 2008 at 2:18 pm

I would have had WALNUTS! lay over the register with the pump up his ass, but I guess it’s just a matter of taste.

Doglessliberal August 6, 2008 at 2:19 pm

[re=53189]BadNewsJack[/re]: I can’t wait for the Obama-has-AIDS rumors. After all, he spent time in Africa! He hugged Africans! You KNOW how they are! They are all diseased. And we already know he is a gay crackhead. Michelle is probably a man, actually. And the girls are paid little people actors in cute-kid outfits.

But we know where McCain’s loyalty lies. (um, who is he giving a speech in front of right now?)

Canmon (the Inadequate) August 6, 2008 at 2:20 pm

McCain is probably happy that they altered that picture. This is much less damaging to him than the original which showed him hugging Bush.

StripesAndPlaids August 6, 2008 at 2:20 pm

[re=53180]collegeblogger[/re]: Yawn.

McCain is scheduled to have a massive stroke in October. I guess you’re SOL.

Hooray For Anything August 6, 2008 at 2:24 pm

For some reason, that picture reminds me of the scene in “Harold and Kumar “where Kumar falls in love with the bag of dope and gets married to it. Which, come to think of it, is an apt metaphor as we’re addicted to oil and people can be addicted to pot and Kumar is the emotional, crazy one whereas Harold is the brainy one and Neil Patrick Harris could be Ron Paul and I think I’ve gone way too far with this (damn English degree).

nothing…no matter how politely it’s framed.

Outstando August 6, 2008 at 2:42 pm

I can’t wait for the statement that says “In the real picture, he’s hugging President Bush”.

Lionel Hutz Esq. August 6, 2008 at 2:44 pm

It is nice to see McCain achieve pleasure with a cold, lifeless thing. And He seems to be doing very well with the gas pump also.

[re=53180]collegeblogger[/re]: I know I shouldn’t raise myself to this, but hopefully I’m not repeating others’ snarky comments…
1) You came to Wonkette because you were tired of politics and mud-slinging? That’s all we do, baby! Sometimes we invent some mud, just so we can sling it.
2) “we know where his loyalty lies”? Where is that, exactly? If you mean loyal to the United States of God Bless America, what part of being the Democratic party’s nominee for President makes you think that Obama is not loyal to the US? Do you seriously expect a President Obama to sell the US to France or something?

>>we know where his loyalty lies.

That true. In this order, they are as follows:

1. Himself
2. George W. Bush
3. The Republican Party
4. His wife’s money
5. The oil companies
6. The US…on a good day.

[re=53232]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Obama may be too late to sell America to France. Because of George Bush’s disastrous decisions to embroil us in a neverending war in Iraq, our national debt has increased so much and the dollar has been so devalued that our country has been and is continuing to be sold to the Chinese, oil-monarchies, and Belgian beverage conglomerates. Yippie, us! I personally would rather learn French than Mandarin or Cantonese, but that’s in part because I like the food better.

gurukalehuru August 6, 2008 at 3:45 pm

Actually, the photo shop is brilliant. That picture should be used with McCain hugging all sorts of different stuff: an oil rig, a million dollar bill, Ho Chi Minh, a pack of depends, a Harley Davidson, Senator Larry Craig, Congressman Mark Foley, Pastor Ted Haggard, a giant cartoon pig, until he finally screams, “That’s not the photo, that’s not the photo, show the real photo!”
At which point, we do.
