WHAT'S GROSSER THAN GROSS?

John McCain Cannot Escape The Taint Of Ralph Reed

This is why John McCain will win the presidency: All of his exciting sex scandals happened 50 years ago, and since then he’s pretty much confined his misdoings to dull and complicated campaign finance/influence peddling bullshit that nobody cares about. We defy you to watch this very informative attack ad without falling asleep 15 times. How boring is this ad? So boring that in spite of the fact that it’s called “Tainted” we could only manufacture one tiny joke about Ralph Reed’s monstrous, world-devouring taint. Please Jesus let Vicki Iseman be knocked up with a little walnut-cheeked hellion so the DNC can make better ads. [YouTube]

    I just can’t visualize how “taint” can be used as a verb. I don’t really want to either.

  2. The Real JR Revisted says at 10:27 am, August 15th, 2008

    Sara, McCain’s son also just destroyed a bank.

    Though I’m sure the excuse “HIS FATHER WAS TORTURED FOR 5 1/2 YEARS!” would also be applicable here.

    It’s insane, Ralph Reed’s taint.

  4. Crikey that boring-ass ad looks cheap. You know how you felt in junior high when you woke up after nodding off during a dull film on photosynthesis and there was drool all over your desk? That’s what this stupid ad about politics and old white men doing old white men politician stuff is like.

  5. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:31 am, August 15th, 2008

    Please. Ralph Reed’s taint has been around the block more times than the homeless guy on Robert Novak’s car hood. It’s been used and abused more times than Cindy McCain’s Vicodin prescription. The jokes just write themselves!

  6. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:32 am, August 15th, 2008

    Reed taint sounds like the stuff that never quite makes it out of a saxophone’s spit valve.

  7. The Real JR Revisted:

    “Andrew K. McCain, 46,”

    The presumptive Republican nominee has a son that is almost the same age as his Democratic opponent. That’s the real story here. (Real Old)

  8. The Real JR Revisted says at 10:36 am, August 15th, 2008

    MrAgro: lol totally. I was thinking the same exact thing.

  9. PoliticalGraffiti says at 10:37 am, August 15th, 2008

    i accidentally read the title as “John McCain Cannot Escape the TEET of Ralph Reed”. Both statements true.

  10. SayItWithWookies says at 10:38 am, August 15th, 2008

    Why so complicated, DNC? What the hell’s wrong with “Meet John McCain’s chief economic advisor — a lobbyist for a big investment bank. Meet John McCain’s chief foreign policy advisor — a lobbyist for the nation of Georgia. Meet John McCain’s evangelical cocksucking moneygrubber of no fixed moral persuasion who dresses up like Robin and spanks McCain silly every night while reading passages from Deuteronomy.”
    There. You fuckers are welcome.

  11. When will democrats learn that when they want to make attack ads they need to get that guy who does movie trailers to do the voice over. Instead they use a female impersonator.

  12. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:40 am, August 15th, 2008

    …this AD smells like taint.

  13. PoliticalGraffiti says at 10:41 am, August 15th, 2008

    taint
    1. On a man, the area between the sack and the crack
    2. On a woman, the area between the giney and the heinie

    You know what that ad needs? Buttsex…

  15. NoWireHangers says at 10:43 am, August 15th, 2008

    Just tell WALNUTS! to get his head out from between Ralph’s thighs. Simple enough. WALNUTS! nose may be nestled in the warm, humid, nether regions of a mans butt cheeks, but until he learns to wrench himself free of such influences he’s in no position to lead the Nation.

  16. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:47 am, August 15th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: Genius. Only Reed would more more suitable dressed up as Agnes Moorehead.

  17. mookworthjwilson says at 10:47 am, August 15th, 2008
  18. SayItWithWookies: Democrats can’t make simple ads like that because they’re all a bunch of Tracy Flick motherfuckers who respond to stupid attacks like they’re on the debate team and every dull fact or figure they recite is earning them another point.

  19. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 10:52 am, August 15th, 2008

    Taint of corruption.

  20. KittyKatMan says at 11:05 am, August 15th, 2008

    Ralph’s got himself a five inch taint.

  21. whiteasasheet says at 11:16 am, August 15th, 2008

    Ha. Made it to 42 seconds. Then I realized that it had nothing to do with anybody’s taint.

  22. nosnikreplliw says at 11:17 am, August 15th, 2008

    Ralph’s taint is a source of cash? Where do I sign up?

  23. Johnny Zhivago says at 11:17 am, August 15th, 2008

    spencer: Or try something original, like a voiceover by that screaming jackass “Billy Mays” who does those OXI-clean ads on late night cable TV.

  24. If the DNC would like to make this ad duller and harder to follow, may I respectfully suggest a bunch of pharmaceutical-style voiceover disclaimers and fine print footnotes.

  25. loudmouthredhead says at 11:25 am, August 15th, 2008

    Sara, you guys had me worried there for a few days: talking about Edwards’ sex-induced pit sweat stains and hetero philandering. Glad to see we’re back in GOP genital territory (how many times has anyone made THAT statement?)

  26. loudmouthredhead says at 11:26 am, August 15th, 2008

    More importantly: Can anyone escape Ralph Reed’s taint? Oh Lawd! The guns, they do nothing! Someone save the children! Aieee!

  27. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 11:35 am, August 15th, 2008

    There’s been plenty of underaged cambodian prostitutes who couldn’t escape his taint either.

  28. pondscum says at 11:39 am, August 15th, 2008

    Johnny Zhivago: GAH! Billy Mays! When my sisters and I are loaded we start talking like that just to crack each other up.

  29. SayItWithWookies says at 11:42 am, August 15th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: (how many times has anyone made THAT statement?)
    Uh, once a week on a flight from DC to Idaho?

  30. loudmouthredhead says at 11:43 am, August 15th, 2008

    pondscum: Hey, that guy can get stains out of ANYTHING. Imagine how many people he’s murdered…and left only fresh smelling OxyClean powder to mock law enforcement.

  31. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:16 pm, August 15th, 2008

    What a second, isn’t this the same Ralph Reed who, while outing teh gayz marriages and tipping the vote in 1996, was found to be queer hisself? Didn’t he, uh, get caught attending the Marine Corps “ball” with Bush’s queer ambassador, Michael Guest…in a gown?

    I’m confused.

    Or are we talking about adorable Paul Petersen who played Jeff on “The Donna Reed Show”?

  32. capitol-hillbilly says at 12:19 pm, August 15th, 2008

    taint funny and taint persuasive. the ad, that is.

  33. ‘Taint so.

  34. I guess that was boring: Last thing I remember, I clicked ‘play’ and 45 minutes later I find myself waking up with drool all over my keyboard. Did the good guys win?

  35. BadNewsJack says at 12:48 pm, August 15th, 2008

    Taint no mountain high enough, taint no valley low enough, taint no river wide enough, to keep John McCain from him, babe.

  36. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 1:00 pm, August 15th, 2008

    Aurelio: BadNewsJack: Taint necessarily so. Taint Nothin But a G Thing. Or the immortal Chaka Khan chestnut, Taint Nobody.

  37. norbizness says at 1:01 pm, August 15th, 2008

    Harvey Birdman: Tain’t Misbehavin’!

  38. pondscum says at 1:29 pm, August 15th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: I’ll remember that. Because if I ever meet this man in person I will have to kill him.

  39. erymanthian bore says at 1:51 pm, August 15th, 2008

    B-O-R-I-N-G!! However, that over the shoulder view of Ralph Reed makes me wanna howl and beg for mercy.

  40. BaxterJones says at 2:06 pm, August 15th, 2008

    Here’s audio clips of the DNC’s ad linking McCain to Abramoff and Reed:

  41. DangerousLiberal says at 4:36 pm, August 15th, 2008

    WTF with the music? It’s sounds all ominous and shit, and then sort of just repeats itself like a vaguely evil lullabye zzzzzzzz

    And it’s a minute long? Who’s got that attention span? It’s taxing my powers of concentration just to write this comment. This reeks of those ads that run once to sucker the MSM into talking about them. But those ads have to be over the top stupid, not just boring, which is why WALNUTS! ads are getting more attention.

  42. Honor and Dignity says at 5:31 pm, August 15th, 2008

    GAY.
    Watching this ad was like reading a book or a newspaper or a something. When I WATCH an ad, I want to see pictures of that cocksucker with the chihuahua.
