Maybe John McCain Will Announce Boring Veep Pick On Same Day As Barack’s Big Acceptance Speech!

by Sara K. Smith  12:47 pm August 26, 2008

Yay Mitt Romney!Shadowy “sources” tell Fox News that John McCain might be plotting to steal some of Barack Obama’s thunder by announcing his vice presidential nominee as early as Thursday. This will ensure that McCain’s decision — MITT ROMNEY, OBVIOUSLY — gets even less press coverage than expected. We look forward to liveblogging his enfeebled ode to the Mormon superhero, which will be delivered with his usual zest in front of a vomitous green screen in an abandoned subterranean Iraqi bingo hall for an audience of 40 bewildered senior citizens who came for the free samples.

PLEASE LET IT BE MITTENS!!!!!!

I really really hope it’s Mittens. I mean, comedy was taken to a whole new level when Mittens and 9/11 were battling it out.

ReverendGreen August 26, 2008 at 12:52 pm

He’s only saying this to get attention during the conventions.

NoWireHangers August 26, 2008 at 12:52 pm

If WALNUTS! keeps up this unrelenting campaigning, he’ll be dead by October. Erm. Carry on, WALNUTS!

tunamelt August 26, 2008 at 12:53 pm

Free samples? Is he going to announce his Veep selection in a Costco?

NoWireHangers August 26, 2008 at 12:54 pm

Yes, Mittens would produce more Fudge Factory treasuries, but Lieberman would be AMAZING. AMAZING.

WhatTheHeck August 26, 2008 at 12:54 pm

I will be wearing my magic underpants on Thursday in case I’m tempted to tune in to Fucks’ News for this breaking story.

CornFedIABoy August 26, 2008 at 12:54 pm

Of course he’ll announce on Thursday, and then whine about how the media ignores him in favor of Obama.

Cogito Ergo Bibo August 26, 2008 at 12:56 pm

Funny underwear for EVERYONE!!!!

Botswana Meat Commission FC August 26, 2008 at 12:57 pm

God, he’s tacky. I’m starting to run out of things I find funny about the syphlitic old jackass.

mr.november August 26, 2008 at 12:57 pm

Will CNN have a live feed from all of Mitt’s estates? Edge of the seat tevee…

Larry McAwful August 26, 2008 at 12:58 pm

Oh, boy! What could fire up the country’s imagination more than Mittens? Besides cold oatmeal or raw okra, I mean.

AngryBlakGuy August 26, 2008 at 12:58 pm

…I cant wait to see WALNUTS! and Mittens raising each others hand at their shitty convention!

It will be the battle of the ticket owning 24 houses vs. 4… I guess we know who wins…

Gopherit v2.0 August 26, 2008 at 1:00 pm

No announcement at 3 a.m., though….that’s way past Johnny’s bedtime. And forget 3 p.m., that’s nap time.
Come to think of it, there really is no good time for him to make the announcement. Leave him alone already, he spent
FIVE AND A HALF YEAR….zzzzz.

Jeebus, people. Give the guy a break. He spent FIVE AND A HALF YEARS locked up in a bamboo box. FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!

Meanwhile, I will be praying to Obama’s nine-headed Muslim god that McCain picks Mittens.

SuperRounder August 26, 2008 at 1:02 pm

I’ll be sitting on my couch in my magic undies to live blog the WALNUTS! announcement.

Miller August 26, 2008 at 1:02 pm

I think Mittens is a masterstroke. They still decide these things based on combined net worth and most immovable lacquered hair shell, right?

NoWireHangers August 26, 2008 at 1:02 pm

Vice President Mittens? You’d think WALNUTS! would at least pick someone who wasn’t openly salivating about how close he is to death. President Mittens? Get outta the country while the gettin’ is good.

shortsshortsshorts August 26, 2008 at 1:03 pm

McCain keeps trying to announce his VEEP candidate, but always forgets at the last moment.

[re=70021]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: Fucking win. WIN WIN WIN.

Bro’s before Hoes douchebag. Wait your turn. You can let the dogs out on Friday and get all the birthday attention you desperately need.

Vegas odds currently has the corpse of Admiral Stockdale, the only running-mate that will make McCain seem young and virile by comparison, at 5:2.

JeffGoldblum August 26, 2008 at 1:05 pm

How in the fuck are they almost dead even in all the polls? How many of you people are giving snark answers when you get polled god damnit?

And neither would I.

JeffGoldblum August 26, 2008 at 1:06 pm

Wait a minute, nobody ever gets “polled” what the fuck am I talking about? I’m still voting Giulianni though.

capitol hillbilly August 26, 2008 at 1:06 pm

you mean he isn’t going to pick hillary? what a pig.

jinmoom August 26, 2008 at 1:06 pm

I hope he picks Tim Pawlenty so that we can get rid of that jerk of a governor.

SuperRounder August 26, 2008 at 1:07 pm

I know almost everyone is Pro-Mittens, but I’m kind of hoping that someone has convinced WALNUTS! that Tim Pawlenty won’t get totally fucking Quayled at the VP debate.

edgydrifter August 26, 2008 at 1:10 pm

As much as I want it to be Senator Droopy Sackacrap from CT, the thought of him being handed the “football” when WALNUTS goes to the great celestial Hanoi Hilton to spend FIVE AND A HALF ETERNITIES being assfucked in a totally heterosexual way is too much to bear. At least Mittens probably won’t nuke anyone on his very first day in the Oval Office.

jerryw August 26, 2008 at 1:16 pm

I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone, but Surprise, it’s going to be Hillary!
18 million votes is a powerful wedge to get in the door, hard to beat.
Of course Hill will outlive the Geezer, and then she can live her fantasy,
unless there’s a pre-nup and Cindy gets the White House after the funeral.

If he’s smart, he will be begging Colin Powell to take it. When Powell turns him down he’ll give it to a woman. Romney would be just treading water, which he can’t afford to do.

I’ve been saying it for months. He’ll have a massive stroke in October from the stress. Besides, he’s already approaching the putrefaction stage of human decomp. Look for the shadows of the flies on the backdrop at the RNC when he’s at the podium.

Godot August 26, 2008 at 1:26 pm

McCain should announce Obama as his VP pick, try to attach himself to some of that star power.

TGY August 26, 2008 at 1:27 pm

Doubt it will be Mittens. WALNUTS! is in hot enough water with the Evangelicals. Most likely it’ll be Strom Thurmond, since he’ll make WALNUTS seem younger and he has the benefit of being dead.

grendel August 26, 2008 at 1:28 pm

[re=70057]jerryw[/re]: Yeah, she’s going to actually annouce it tonight… Surprise DNC! I’m out, beatches!

Doglessliberal August 26, 2008 at 1:33 pm

But if he picks Lieberman, then the minds of thousands of bigots will blow as they try to decide between a candidate who is a Muslim terrorist named Obama and one whose VP is married to a Muslim terrorist named Hadassah. Those bigots who get that Hadassah is in fact Jewish, not Muslim, will then be forced to decide between the Muslim terrorist Shark God and a Jewish Jesus Killer who kills and eats babies.

shortsshortsshorts August 26, 2008 at 1:35 pm

[re=70093]TGY[/re]: Fuck ya. I was going to make the Strom Thurmond comment yesterday, but I was afraid of all teh angry libruls. This is why Joe McCarthy should be our next veep.

smellyal8r August 26, 2008 at 1:36 pm

Gawd, it can’t be Mittens, can it? WALNUTS saddling us with “five and a half years” worth of Mormon prophesy (I wonder how Mitt will play down in Texas with all that FLDS business…Elder Josiah and Goody Plainwife…it’s a cult). But, Mitt’s got the haircut, the winning smile and a family of hot male progeny to send across the land, while Tim has “Pawlenty of Nuthin” to quote Porgy and Bess.

McNuggets has no choice but to make the announcement on Thursday. Friday is a Mormon holy day.

lawrenceofthedesert August 26, 2008 at 1:45 pm

[re=70093]TGY[/re]: I agree — the Fundies are why it might NOT be Romney. There is an uneasiness between the Mormons and the rest of the born-agains that definitely worked against Romney in some primaries. Joseph Smith wrote no chapters on “power sharing,” if you believe the Baptists and Pentecostals. If McCain’t wants a Fundie, he would pick Huckabee, but I think he wants to stay more “centrist” than that — someone from McCain’t's 16th century outlook rather than the 13th. From a mutual philosophical point, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would be an excellent choice.

Gopherit v2.0 August 26, 2008 at 1:46 pm

[re=70120]S.Luggo[/re]: It’s also the start of Shabbat. Just sayin’.

Mumble Softly August 26, 2008 at 1:47 pm

You know with Romney’s billions of dollars in personal wealth and untold billions in offshore bank accounts the McCain/Romney ticket could outspend Obama’s fundraising by a wide margin. McCain would be a fool not to pick Romney. Its the only chance he has of not going bankrupt again (like he did last year)

passthearugula August 26, 2008 at 1:47 pm

Does anyone have a link to that WALNUTS!/Mittens “I agree, you are the candidate of change” moment in the NH debate? I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W8Vb6ZqffI&feature=related but I really want the extended version that someone linked to the other day. You know – the one with the bonus footage of Romney asking McCain to please stop hurting his feelings and then McCain smiling like the world’s largest, creepiest, jowliest and most self-satisfied two year old?

La Cieca August 26, 2008 at 1:50 pm

I like the idea of “Walnuts and Mittens” because you can sing it to the tune of “My Favorite Things.”

larz August 26, 2008 at 1:59 pm

Will anyone care that another old, conservative, white dude from a state that has had indoor plumbing for 3 whole years is named VP? Other than Mitt’s hair, which is much more gray than 5 months ago, I can’t tell them apart unless they’re using the walkers they decorated for the convention. Thank God Minneapolis is flat!

Hooray For Anything August 26, 2008 at 2:02 pm

[re=70131]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: As a Jew, I should be somewhat relieved that the Fundies appear to be more uncomfortable with a Mormon than a Jew. That’s progress. But maybe it’s just because we’re kinda important to that whole Rapture thingie and Mormon’s aren’t.

my first choice is lieberman cause then we would have two cranky old men running and what could be more fun than that but edgydrifter makes a good point about the nuke button.

mittens is a very close second though and i would also give away everything for a sight of him in his magic undies! specially if his hand is inside playing with his junk!
