Ooh, it’s the new scary McCain ad! Alas, it leaves out William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, the Rosenbergs, and Jane Fonda. They are all from Chicago, and they all have implanted chips in Barack Obama’s brain that make him Not Ready to Lead. [YouTube]

“Under an ethical cloud”
What fucktard came up with that line?
All the cool kids are wearing Rezko ties these days.
Wait, if your friends are all a bunch of crooked dickwads, how does that make you not ready to lead, McLobbyistFellatioMachine?
Also, hahahhahaha now Rezko is Obama’s “Money Man”? What happened to Raines??? I smell another hiLARious Tucker Bounds video on teh youtubez!!!
[re=103224]columnv[/re]: During the campaign staff shakeup a while back, McCain hired a few folks who had washed out at the Weather Channel.
Talk about meaningless gilt by association. I think the best part is: “His Governor… a legacy of sate and Federal investigations.”
I guess that means everyone who lives in Illinois is a corrupt, conniving, crook… you know, since Rod Blagojevich is their governor, too.
And Johnny Mac’s “friends” are any better? Maybe best not to go down that road..
Barack Obama was the lovechild of Saddam Hussein and Jane Fonda. Timothy McVeigh was his babysitter. He went to school in a cave in Afghanistan where ACLU lawyers taught him how to perform abortions. In college he was in a rock band with Lee Harvey Oswald on guitar and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on drums.
Ahh… the art of misdirection!
Economy? Look! Over there! It’s Rezko buying some Arugula!
So, basically, anyone in Illinois is presumed to have ties to Obama? And what in the hell is a “political godfather”? Blatant attempt at creating a mob connection out of thin air. It’s as if they have just given up arguing on the McCain side and are just making stuff up.
Oh. Righto. Forgot who we were talking about for a second there.
I like the “his Governor” line. Blagojevich is universally hated in Illinois. I’ll take some of the credit– I did vote for him twice. I’m sorry people in Illinois. I don’t even live there anymore.
I just like the idea that every Democrat in Illinois is somehow Obama’s fault.
it’s just guilt by association. the chicago media have been trying to find something improper or illegal here for nearly a decade, and it just ain’t there.
dumb ad.
[re=103230]Serolf Divad[/re]: Exactly. I mean, Obama’s president is a complete imbecile, but you won’t hear Grampy say that, lest we be reminded that he and the Presitard are joined at the nether regions.
I like Obama’s Chicago heritage. It means he knows how to muscle people, how to manage a machine, how to throw a punch and dodge a punch. It means he’s not a pussy.
He’s managed to pick up the best of Chicago without getting the worst of it (that irritating eeyack-cent, that god-awful deep-dish shit)
cough…Charles Keating…cough…
[re=103231]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: I think all of that is on the table now… Looking forward to the Barack counter-ad!
[re=103230]Serolf Divad[/re]: Having been born in Chicago, I can vouch that we are indeed all corrupt bastards whose only means of survival is raping white grandmothers for their pocket change so we can buy more of our delicious saaahsages.
These ads are better:

Obama plays basketball. Charles arkley plays basketball.
Is Charles barkley ready to lead our economy?
[re=103239]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: But does he know how to turn out the dead vote?
McCain has hired AOL Chatroom types to lead his campaign. This is spam email level stuff here. This isn’t elevating the discourse, this is ending democracy as a meaningful endeavor to advance humanity. I bet Hunter S Thompson is feeling stupid about killing himself now.
I heard there was like, some governor lady, that was running for VP and that uh, she too was under some sort of state investigation.
Hey, they forgot Harry Carey!
Wait until they find out about the Black Liberation Army waiting offshore to take over when Obama is elected. Or the money pouring into his campaign from Iran. Yup, that’s what the other side thinks.
That’s what they are really worried about. I say fight fire with fire. Get tough. Check out some of my partisan posters. A new one every day. Great for rallies!

Al Capone approves this message.
Based on this logic, WcCain isn’t ready to order a ham sandwich at Quizno’s.
I will pay the lesser of a) the remains in my 401k account or b) $700B, to have this campaign end tomorrow.
Is it me or has this stupid, silly shit run its course about 3 weeks ago….help me baby jesus.
I’m actually running out of clever (at least I think so), snarky comments on this whole clusterfuck. Meanwhile, bankers are figuring out how to pay themselves severance. Go home and hug your kids “my friends”, because that is all that really fucking matters.
Sorry about my brief, anti-snark moment….
[re=103249]Itsjustme[/re]: That’s what I’m gonna commit if McPain wins this election. Chicago-style of course.
[re=103249]Itsjustme[/re]:
and Ditka!
McCain, you’re total fuckin’ sleaze. You’ve spent all my respect a long time ago.
…5 days before a debate and WALNUTS! is pulling out all the stops. I’m not sure whether or not this is going to play well at the debates, but I do know that he will have to defend all of his ridiculous ad’s on national TV. And from what I have seen he doesn’t seem all that comfortable defending all the non-sense coming out of his campaign.
Juan McSame is sooooo ethical and morally high-groundish, I am going to switch my vote from old man Nader to young whippersnapper McNuts, based on this truthiness ad. Wow, I did not know that Chicago – the city of wide shoulders and narrow hips and windy hair – was so God forsaken awful!!
WHY does Chicano hate America??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypDwNpgIUQc
If we’re playing guilt by association, Arizona loves impeaching their governors. Let’s make that McCain’s fault.
OK, so McInane is now alleging the Wall Street meltdown is Hopey’s fault because he was there with the lobbyists and the culture of corruption with Fannie and Freddie, blah blah blah.
Can we ask McInane to address the FACT that his man Rick Davis received 2 mil from both FMs to do shit like have McInane show up at their little confabs to receive their awards? ‘Coz McInane sure had NO reservations about letting that little prick Davis trade on Juan’s name, making Davis a rich man in the process.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22mccain.html?_r=2&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&ref=politics&pagewanted=print&adxnnlx=1222099942-YOSlDXWRxbMZljJ5taO7OQ
Given the current Rezko fixation, how long before it comes out that McInane or his entourage received some Rezko dollars back in the day?
If you call flimsy political acquaintances like these “ties”, then John McCain is “tied” to enough felony charges to get him locked away for FIVE AND A HALF DECADES
Playing this is Chicago will actually earn him votes. Downstate, not so much.
[re=103244]Delicious[/re]: Those were awesome. I saw those last night and was particularly pleased.
[re=103233]mattbolt[/re]: not just abortions, also infanticide, and then if he decides to let you keep your babies, he will personally teach them comprehensive sexual education as soon as they can speak.
[re=103244]Delicious[/re]: you posted it first. DAMN YOU TO HELL, DELICIOUS! GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
Fetid loins? Are you sure this isn’t a reference to Walnuts! forgetting to change his Depends?
[re=103249]Itsjustme[/re]: [re=103256]Terry[/re]: …and the ’85 Bears. Ethically, the Super Bowl Shuffle was a terrible injustice to the American People.
Even the bitters can sense the desperation in this add.
Needs moar anilingus.
nyah nyah nyah I can’t hear you KEATING FIVE nyah nyah nyah
[re=103243]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: Agreed, we are all corrupt. But pulling Bill Daley into this like he’s just another run-of-the-mill shifty Chicago politician seems a bit off, considering he was fuckin’ Commerce Secretary. I also believe that Rod will end up voting for McCain, because at this point there is no way in hell Pres. Obama is going to let the feds ease up on him.
I get the impression that there’s some sort of implicit understanding between Obama and McCain — you don’t mention Jeremiah Wright, I won’t mention Charles Keating.
But Jesus Christ, McCain is one to talk, isn’t he?
[re=103258]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Even in this weird Bizarro world where Fox News nails Tucker Bounds to a wall, Karl Rove says WcCain went too far in his ads, and the View became the fiercest political coverage unit in America, I still can’t believe that any of the three debates are going to feature a line of questioning about WcCain’s bullshit lies.
Jesus, I hope I’m wrong.
[re=103271]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: I think you mean ‘aesthetically.’ Of course, as a Pats fan, I’m more inclined to agree with your original formulation.
[re=103261]Canuckledragger[/re]: Great article. This ad just opens McCain up to so many questions he doesn’t want to answer, and all Obama has to do is defend himself. How about his association with the Vati-Con Man? Bush and Cheney? Or…I dunno…the KeatingFiveKeatingFiveKEATINGFIVE?
Seriously, has anyone on Walnuts’ campaign picked up a newspaper or turned on the telly this a.m. Ain’t no one discussing Tony Rezko or Gov. what’s his name. I guess when you have a $100M trollopy you-know-what at home, you don’t have to worry about this type of thing. Schmidt is an asshole–his bald Q-tip head would look nice inserted into an elephants rectum.
[re=103279]Juice-IL[/re]: Anything to the rumor that GovRod would have the chutzpah to appoint himself to fill the senate vacancy that would be created by a Barry victory in November?
Looks like while it’s ‘bad’ to use Photoshop to artificially darken someone’s skin tones, it’s perfectly legit to film a television in deep shadow to make him look shady as hell. Well done, McCain campaign team. Keep it classy! Too bad you had to go ultra-negative because Obama turned down your town hall schedule. That must have really hurt.
His Groove Advisors, Jake and Elwood Blues, last seen on a criminal spree purporting to be on “a mission from God.”
I have a sneaking suspicion that Obama and Biden, in a two man cow costume of course, started the great Chicago fire. And Obama was the guy who interfered with the foul ball at the Cubs playoff game.
J’accuse!

[re=103243]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: Arrested Development: Best Fucking Show Evah
Let’s take the fuckin’ gloves off, shall we?
Remember Juan’s great claim to fame? His FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, ALAN!?!?!?
Fuck guilt-by-association; let’s stick with guilt by deed.
Not only did Juan fail to plumb the fates of the 600 or so POW/MIAs left unaccounted for when the ‘Nam debacle drew to a close, he actively ensured that the families of those men never learned the truth about their final disposition.
Warning: sensitive Wonketteers may read the following and fly into a homicidal rage about the stiff little prick who pretends to be an uber-patriot while glibly ensuring that his fellow POWs would NEVER be released, or their whereabouts be investigated:
http://www.nationinstitute.org/p/schanberg09182008pt1
Read it and then we’ll discuss the actual meaning of “Country First.”
i’m surprised that mccain waited until now to mention this. it actually might have been more effective back in the jeremiah wright days, but now people care about more important things like, uh, the economy. besides, to take a word from ol’ joe, ohhhh is pretty ‘clean’ for a chicago politican.
otherwise, il politics is really a clusterfuck. yet somehow i miss it.
[re=103261]Canuckledragger[/re]: Good find, mate.
Lovely day if that shit actually gets some traction in the echo chamber.
Meanwhile, depressing signs in the Great White North than Bush Jr, Stephen “Steve” Harper is approaching majority territory…
[re=103297]Canuckledragger[/re]: Shit, dude, you’re on a roll.
[re=103299]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: I know–you wish major media outlets (meaning, the drivel most of America relies on) would actually report this instead of repeating easily-provable lies “in the interest of giving both sides of the story”.
[re=103282]user-of-owls[/re]: Haha, perhaps both. You are absolutely right about aesthetics. Maybe ‘aurally’ should be added as well. As an Eagles fan, I must say I’m sorry for your recent loss. We play da Bears next week. Anyhoo, I’m way off topic here…
Anyone see this little nugget??

[re=103302]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: NINE SACKS
Now is the time for the following Moveon.org or other sneaky 527-funded ad:
(Cue dark, foreboding music over images of Johnny-Mac in his dress uni, followed by McVeigh and the OK city attack ) ”
John McCain and Timothy McVeigh,the perpetrator of the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil prior to 9-11, were both in the military… and they both have mac/mc in their name.”
Every time I think it couldn’t possibly get any worse I realize that clearly I must be smoking crack or having some type of flashback from being locked up in the mental ward. When I watched the SNL skit this week I thought it was so funny cause it was soooo over the top…Apparently McStupid’s media team was watching too and thought that tactic might actually work…
Sadly, 85% of the ‘Merican public is so stupid that it might actually…
I would also like some help from the baby jesus!
*going into fetal position again*
[re=103303]Rush[/re]: Yeah, although FUCK is CNN behind the times. I first read about that whole fiasco three or four days after the RNC.
But I think the better question is “Why is CNN so sexist, unpatriotic, and sexist?”
i like how they refer to rezko as a “client… convicted felon.” he had a client that was found guilty of something?! NOT READY TO LEAD
[re=103303]Rush[/re]: Well, that only took forever to break in the MSM. It’s been out there for weeks. I love the spokesperson’s response. “Nuh-uh! Did not!” Hardly a substantive denial. Joey B. will knock Barbie a new one in the debates, if they go after it. He sponsored the Violence Against Women Act.
Also, there have been grumblings about the effect of charging for the kits. If you get up and walk out, rather than pay, you’re probably going to also leave without a morning after pill. Which, of course, the Arctic Princess would dearly love.
[re=103307]azw88[/re]: Tony Tiger in da house!
‘fetid loins’: good job. Good thing I’ve already had lunch.
[re=103240]mookworthjwilson[/re]: Yeah, why is it nobody mentions Keating?
[re=103296]columnv[/re]: I second this!
“His Political Godfather”?
What does that mean?…….because it sounds…like something.
[re=103303]Rush[/re]: I’m surprised the MSM picked up on it, because they would have had to put their pro-Palin pom poms down. But rumor has it (at least on DailyKos) the reason she didn’t support the kits is because they provided the morning after pill, so there you go.
[re=103246]Manchowder[/re]: There is an email spam going around saying exactly what this ad is saying.
Ah, did someone say Keating? Article from 1989:
http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1989-11-29/news/mccain-the-most-reprehensible-of-the-keating-five
This article takes you back into time where McCain uses his POW status to gain political advantage, rats out all the other guys to save his political career, and uses the media like a 10 diamond whore.
[re=103324]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]:
I just beyond insulted by the whole Palin thing anyway. Bridge to nowhere, Alaska/Russia proximity, reformer yet tookd earmarks, people loving her although 30 days ago she was unknown. Her persona / image has been a lie since she was announced. I guess George Carlin was right when he said you could nail any two pieces of wood together and some schmuck would buy it.
McCain said that global terrorism was the predominant issue of our time and he choose her….Fuck Him.
[re=103323]Juan McMaverick[/re]: It means “fuck with me, you sleep with a Moosehead”
“Fetid Loins?” is this another damn Peggy Noonan post?
[re=103329]Itsjustme[/re]: I thought his line was, “I slept with a Moosebilly, and she fucked me.” Thanks for clearing that up.
[re=103288]obfuscator[/re]: I doubt it. He’s been in Washington before, and by most appearances didn’t like it all that much. If he ran for the Senate, where campaign finance laws actually exist, his entire donor base would be dried up since no one is going to give him money if they can’t get a government contract in return
What’s amazing is that the ad softballs Obama being a Daley Machine Democrat — trying to pin it on him without singling out Richie Daley. Is McCain’t a bit scared of pissing off the Boss?
And compared to what? The last Republican governor of Illinois is in the slammer for taking bribes. Rod B. may need a vowel implant, but he seems to be a breath of fresh compared to George Ryan. If “everyone hates him,” it may mean that he’s doing his job. And all those alleged investigations have resulted in?
Those look like solid, scrappy Mid-Western politicians, certainly up for a fight, by any means necessary. Got to love John McCain’s whining, he’s down on his knees for Karl Rove and enlisted a barely functioning idiot as his running mate. Great job.
wha wha? For all you NOT in the know, I currently live in Chicago, and I see NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of this fetidly rumored “chicago machine.” I can’t believe you would assume that this sort of thing actually…..oh, what? Really? fuck.
[re=103312]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: but I thought she made an exception for abortion after rape, so by denying women the morning after pill, she is, in essence, promoting abortion.
Country First? Wow! I thought they’ve been saying Country Fist all this time.
Glad to see McCain sucking at the leathern teat of Karl Rove.
McHoover’s next and last memoir: “How I Gave Up The White House For A Hotseat In The Bighouse”.
[re=103359]Doglessliberal[/re]: No exceptions on abortion for the Xtian fundies. None. Not for rape or incest.
For Palin, the only exception is ‘to preserve the life of the mother’.
Whatever that means. All those babies caused by rape will just have to be adopted out to gay people.
[re=103359]Doglessliberal[/re]: She’d want women to have the kid. No abortions, even after rape. And in all likelihood, she wouldn’t want the State handing out emergency birth control, in the form of the morning after pill, either. But you’re right. In a world where a rape victim can get an abortion, but isn’t offered the morning after pill, that would lead straight to an abortion for most women.
This is funny to me because I lived in Illinois for a long time and know a couple people who are involved with state level politics. If they think the state is corrupt now they should’ve seen it when the Republicans were in office. Corruption was everywhere then. I actually took my first drivers license test from a woman who was eventually convicted in the licenses for bribes scandal.
snffffffffffff, ah, i love the smell of McCain’s desperation in the morning, smells like….prunes and piss, or a Keating 5 ad from Obama. Go!
[re=103392]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: and (moving away from the rape issue) lord knows, we sure don’t want to educate about and promote birth control because that will cause teenagers to have *sex* (said in a whispered voice). Just like with her daughter. Oh, wait.
Two words: Keating Five. (five more: you are fucked old man)
[re=103323]Juan McMaverick[/re]: it means ” It’s a MAAAAN’S world”
[re=103334]Juice-IL[/re]: I’ve also heard rumors that he might appoint Lisa Madigan in order to prevent her from being able to run against him in the primary next time around.
Okay, that’s done it, I’m voting for Palin.
http://www.michaelpalinforpresident.com/
I convincingly tell my husband all the time that I hate the loud, annoying squirrels that permanently occupy our back deck all summer, smiling and nodding in his face and passionately agreeing with every anti-squirrel rant he comes up with, and shaking my fist in mock rage every time we see one.
Then, every night when he goes to bed, I steal $1 out of my man’s wallet, and the next day- every day- I use his $1 to buy squirrel food from the store down the street, which I hide on our back deck to make sure the squirrels keep on comin’!
Because we’re from Chicago, and that’s how we roll, bitches.
T Recsko was an equal opportunity crook. He bribed republicans and democrats alike to make himself rich. Didn’t Barry O’bama return the donated money? This is so crazy, just hammer McCrankypants on Keating and being the one time chairman of the dereg committee and saying the economic fundamentals are sound. He’s part of the reason why I’m having to live in a box underneath Wacker drive in chicago.
[re=103279]Juice-IL[/re]: I gotta say, I was pretty amazed they did that to Daley too. And then amused, seeing as Rick Davis is such a fucking scumbag. And Gramm. And everyone else McCain barbecues with. No, wait, it wasn’t so much amused; it was disgusted.
[re=103296]columnv[/re]: And McCain’s trying to kill Baby Buster!!!
“Obama also lives in chicago….like Scottie Pippen once did…..(ominous music)”
