DEBATEGATE, LULZ, HA: “Organizers said Wednesday they were going ahead as planned with the first 2008 US presidential debate, despite Republican John McCain’s call to postpone the event in the face of the Wall Street crisis. ‘We have been notified by the Commission on Presidential Debates that we are proceeding as scheduled,’ said the University of Mississippi, which was to host Friday’s encounter between McCain and Democrat Barack Obama.” Seems like McCain knew they wouldn’t cancel this. He just wanted a few Maverick headlines, like back in the old days when he was a Star. It’s funny because no one cares, at all. Ha ha, his favorite President George Bush is speaking on teevee tonight, too. [Jonathan Martin]
RETARD
You’re in the tank, Commission on Presidential Debates
McChicken.
This whole thing, for him, is like the scene in Wizard of Oz, when the great and all-powerful wizard is just some little old man, I think.
Do you think he regrets the loss of his “Maverick” reputation? And his fucking soul?
There’s a Commission on Presidential Debates? Haha. Who’s on it? Earl Warren?
I think this will actually work in his favor. Why wouldn’t it?
Now he gets to sulk during the debate about how he wanted to put Country First, but the black guy and his elitist media pals wouldn’t let him.
Next thing you know he’s going to tell the American public he’s pregnant, so they can’t leave him.
Sure, if by Maverick headlines you mean:” Panicked McCain soils own drawers, asks school nurse for sick note so he can miss Friday Debate.”
He could always send Palin…
tunamelt: God damnit, now his scary VP is going to make us marry him! Am I gonna have to give up hockey practice for this?
columnv: ‘Cause America doesn’t like pussies.
President George Bush
Wow, remember back in the day when everyone used to talk about that guy? Whatever happened to him, anyway? I thought he’d died from an overdose.
tunamelt: He’ll only regret it on November 5th, making that sad, sad call to Barry.
Inside Camp McCain Debate Prep HQ:
Advisor: Every time they ask you a question, just cross your arms, stick out your lower lip, and say, “Can we go home now?”
Maverick-rolled
Grampy wouldn’t be going so negative if he weren’t being dragged into debates against his will.
I’m so loving the CNN poll on whether this attempted cancellation is just a political gimmick. The 70% of people saying “yes” is still holding, with over 25,000 votes in.
Not a lot of people know this, but the Commission on Presidential Debates is only in power because of a bloodless coup that toppled the Presidential Debates Commission.
Also, I think that’s where your Permanent Record is stored.
He just wanted a few Maverick headlines
I think I can help him out with that:
McCAIN: PUSSY, BITCH OR ATTENTION WHORE?
McCAIN STUBS TOE, CALLS ‘TIME OUT’ “But it really hurt, like, a lot!”
McCAIN FINDS PALIN’S SKIRTS INSUFFICIENT HIDING PLACE, TRIES BROOM CLOSET IN US CAPITOL BUILDING
tunamelt: he’s pregnant, so they can’t leave him.
But leaving is the whole point of getting someone pregnant, isn’t it?
Know what, this is the BEST time to hear what they have to say.
Naked Bunny with a Whip:
I hear he’s going to be subbing for Dana Plato on an upcoming “Differ’nt Strokes” reunion TV Movie.
A debate we can believe in
I expect for Obama to go on teevee soon and say, “Cracker please. Debate on, bitches.”
FIVE AND A HALF YEARS GOD DAMN IT !!!
Is this how we treat our geriatric and senile war heroes?? We force them to debate ivy league educated elitists even when they clearly would rather weasel out?
Thats not change we can believe in .
Steve Schmidt: “Oh shit, John’s fuckin up big time. Bring out Trig! Levi! Make the kid lick the baby’s hair again! Call FoxNews! Call our buddies at US magazine. FUCCCCKKK”
I hope this is the point at which “Maverick” will have more of a negative connotation. Or else when will it? Will he be a Maverick Star when he tears the Constitution into pieces? When he transitions us into a totalitarian state? HALP.
El Bombastico: But ‘merica will see this as a ballsy move, ie., fuck this old ass debate crap, I’m going to DC to put on my spandex suit and kick some fucking ass.
I keep waiting for Cainie Mac to appear in the leftside ad bar holding a sign “I’m a * constitution voter” and looking lost and distracted. In a Cracker Barrel store, too.
Rush: You bet. Just change the debate topic to the economy. Hopey expected any moment.
Viva la Cynthia: I’m revising my drinking game for this.
Yes, I’m ready to order — I’d like the cold feet with a side of chickenshit, please.
I think he is just doing it to fake out the New York Times. They have their usual self-important headline “McCain Seeks to Delay First Debate Amid Financial Crisis” But ha, ha, he was just foolin. He sure tricked those pussies.
Obama is at teh podium.
John, this ‘fix the mess’ thing is actually quite simple. You, Palin, your campaign and your party just stop this game of stupidity/venality/corruption brinksmanship you’ve been playing. Wonkette withers on the vine, commenters actually get work done, Wall Street soars. Told you it was simple.

Barry on CNN live feed, right now!
Talking about the general nature of the problem. Need to act quickly and get it right.
Barry’s on tv now.
Shouts out to Tom Coburn (r) for suggestion of the joint statement.
Hopey says there is plenty of blame to pass around. Have to act swiftly, but get it right. Protect taxpayers without rewarding the rat bastards. He reached out to McCain in the spirit of bipartisanship this morning. Gave credit to Republican Sen. Tom Coburn for suggesting that a joint statement would be helpful. Going over his idea of what the plan should include.
Viva la Cynthia: And so now the terrorists win thanks to Sheik Barry.
I hope you smug defeatocrats are just so damned fucking happy with yourselves. Age-ist liberal bastards.
I sincerely hope Senor Neuzcito gets an ass stomping of epic proportions on Friday night. The first time he says “I wanted to postpone this debate” I pray that Hopey will use his telekinesis to make his bionic mandibles explode.
Not that I will witness it live, because I plan on being on my fourth boilermaker by 8 PM.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: McCain campaign PR, “Obama Accepts Blame”.
Give McSparkles a break here. It was reported earlier that his special blankie Nana is missing and nappy-time has been rough. You can’t expect a man to debate without his goddamn NANA can you?!
Hu-rah! to the McCain campaign! This stunt blew the Rick Davis/Freddie Mac news far away from the headlines. Mission accomplished.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: It sure seems like W is high or drunk or coked up or something - did you see his explanation of AIG and Lehman?
I’m not really sure the effects of Wasilla meth, but I’m sure the SS can source da’bomb if required
Borat: Hey, that reminds me, i need to roll a couple
user-of-owls: Multi-tasking. How can I read Wonkette all day + most interesting websites all day, AND kick ass at my job (however, I do make less than a makeup artist)
but, I’m frightened to death of debating in mississippi
“He’s suspending his campai—” gosh, good thing he announced this, because otherwise, HOW COULD WE TELL? There’s been no campaign. Sarah Palin (Comparison to Joe Biden) is still in orientation at the John Casablancas Modeling School, and all McPussy’s aides have been in Alaska putting civil servants in lockboxes, or on the phone lying to reporters from undisclosed locations.
It adds a whole new (fresh, muslin-y)layer to white privilege to claim the privilege of running for president after giving up the annoying task of explaining to voters why you’re doing it — isn’t that what campaigning is?
Wow, we have gone from the fundamentals of the economy being just fine one week ago to a state of emergency so bad that we must stop all other things to take care of it. I wonder what McCain’s position will be tomorrow?
And if it is so critical, how ’bout we stop the war so we have money to pay off the poor bankers on Wall St.? Shouldn’t John McCain want to put America first?
More drama than the Perot-Stockdale campaign of ‘92.
I miss those guys.
