  • JUST LIKE AFTER 9/11: From Drudge: “MCCAIN OFFICE IN DENVER RECEIVES ENVELOPE WITH WHITE POWDER AND DEATH THREAT… DEVELOPING…” This is misleading. It was mailed to the wrong candidate, and the “death threat” was actually a post-it note from the friendly dealer warning Barry not to do too much at once. [Drudge Report]

    It’s just cindy’s latest shipment of coke.

  2. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 6:08 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Actually, it was a brown powder, and it was his glass that received it. It was Metamucil. Cause he’s old and has trouble pooping.

    …Cindy McCain then snorted it all, thereby saving everyones life!

  4. It’s sugar, because he’s so SWEET!!

    Sounds like Lieberman’s crappy “Ned Lamont hacked my servers” bullshit to me.

    Aha! The post-convention party supplies arrived early. Thanks DHL for your awesome German service. Now if you’ll just fire all those lunatics in your Ohio shipping hub for us, plz thx!!

    I guess this means we’re going to invade Iran now.

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 6:18 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Well — either the FBI got the wrong guy to off himself, or the post office is really, really slow. Okay, both.

  9. Volumptuous says at 6:19 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Denver ABC7 website says this:
    “Hazmat Found Outside McCain Colo. HQ”

    OMG, first there’s white powder. Now they found Hazmat outside? HOLY FUCK!

  10. GlennBecksTaint says at 6:24 pm, August 21st, 2008

    CODE ORANGE!! CODE ORANGE!!!

  11. MoodProcessor says at 6:24 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Now, if a band of skinheads accosted Wally and painted a swastika on his face…that’d be news.

  12. MoodProcessor says at 6:25 pm, August 21st, 2008

    But how much white powder would it take for us to lose a city?

  13. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 6:26 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Is the hazmat what you wipe your feet on before coming into the HQ?

  14. mattbolt says at 6:26 pm, August 21st, 2008

    If you’re trying to off McCain, why the hell would you send your hard-earned anthrax to the local Denver campaign office? I mean, what’s the chance WALNUTS is stopping by the Denver office by surprise, decides to help out the crew by doing some letter-opening himself, grabs a handful of envelopes from the bin, rips ‘em open and decides to press his nose into each letter and breathe in a big breathful of each letter to absorb that nice fresh-paper scent?

    As assassinations go, this is a pretty bush-league attempt (not to be confused with a Bush-league assassination attempt, which involves rebels in Georgia throwing a non-working grenade at a stage where George Bush was speaking, which, in itself, was also bush-league)

    Maybe McPampers has a diaper rash.

  16. S.Luggo says at 6:28 pm, August 21st, 2008

    The white powder? It was the ashes of condo deeds naming McCodger as co-owner with Cindy. Crafty, mailing the ashes to yourself. Never underestimate the ancient ones.

  17. Mr. Herpes says at 6:28 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Can’t an old fart get his Dentu-grip without Homeland Security wanting to do a cavity search?

  18. itgetter says at 6:29 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Well, this has given 9ud11 has another couple of paragraphs for his convention speech.

  19. Gopherit v2.0 says at 6:33 pm, August 21st, 2008

    mattbolt: Yeah it’s not like he even not-owns a condo in Denver.

  20. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:49 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Well its better then when the RNC was getting shit in the mail.

  21. WagTehGod says at 7:02 pm, August 21st, 2008

    I refuse to believe this is from Drudge until I see the red and blue flashing lights.

  22. sarcasticusername says at 7:11 pm, August 21st, 2008

    crazy Cindy Lou totally had her coke sent to the wrong address, it’s hard when you have so many properties to choose from.

  23. Gopherit v2.0: How do you know? Maybe he forgot about that one too.

  24. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 7:21 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Your sources are not quite correct. The post-it actually reads:

    Barry–

    This really helped me through the last eight years,

    Don’t do to much,

    –George

  25. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 7:23 pm, August 21st, 2008

    Actually, I’m pretty sure that McCain’s campaign offices have cabinets full of letters with white powder to pull out whenever bad news hits the media. It’s called “pulling a Bush.”

  26. McOldguy really has to tell Cindi to stop having those packages from Peru sent to the office. Christ, they’ve got at least ten or twenty safe houses they own that they could have her special medications sent to.

  27. Lionel Hutz Esq.: And we know it’s genuine, because it’s misspelled.
