    McCain suspended his Senator-ness

  2. The Gordo says at 4:33 pm, September 25th, 2008

    As a citizen of the fine state of Arizona, I’d like to take the opportunity to say “Sorry.”

  3. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:33 pm, September 25th, 2008

    If a McCain falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

  4. StrangelyBrown says at 4:33 pm, September 25th, 2008

    “McCain is Andy Kaufman in his Mighty Mouse costume - ‘Here I Come to Save the Day,’”

    Absolutely beautiful. Could that be the theme for our next Wonkette Photoshop contest?

  5. Delicious says at 4:34 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Yeah, but is he scheming with Boner and the lunatic House R’s to vote against the bill, and then campaign against it?

  6. He’s named after a cartoon.

  7. Clancy_Pants says at 4:36 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Hello my friends. I’m back. Let’s roll up our shirtsleeves and… Where the fuck is everyone?

  8. Oh snap!

    “It’s the longest Hail Mary pass in the history of either football or Marys.”

    You know, if Biden has another aneurysm, I have a modest suggestion for a replacement…..

  10. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:38 pm, September 25th, 2008

    …DUUUUUH!!! Everyone knows that Sarah is the brains of the outfit!

  11. John McCain has lost his boehner.

  12. freakishlystrong says at 4:40 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Delicious: Of course he is, he’s mighty maverick godammit! I can’t stop giggling at the cheese cat…

  13. Serolf Divad says at 4:40 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Apparently Barney Frank is unaware of McCain’s telekinetic mental powers, developed over 5 1/2 years while he was being held prisoner in a Gallic-Vietnamese pit o’ Hell known as the Paris Hilton, and which allowed him to manipulate John Bohner’s thought processes and get him to agree to the bill. McCain had to be in town because his mental powers only work at a relatively close distance (he was hiding in a closet during the negotiations).

  14. magic titty says at 4:40 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Just wait ’til Tucker Bounds calls Barney a mangy faggot. Then we’ll see some action.

  15. Gopherit v2.0: But Barney has teh gayz disease.

  16. whatever_dc says at 4:41 pm, September 25th, 2008

    i’ve seen barney frank nekkid…

    scary — yes it was!

  17. freakishlystrong says at 4:41 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Yay! The debate is still on!..oh….shit.

  18. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:41 pm, September 25th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: She’s certainly the brains of her outfit.

    Thank you, thank you, tip your waiters, try the veal…

  19. The Cold Sea says at 4:41 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Delicious: I believe Pelosi, Frank and Dodd are aware of that.. Reid, on the other hand is not aware of the color of his underwear or whether he’s wearing trousers or a cocktail dressso the plan is to not vote on this until there are guarantees. Please resume snark.

  20. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:43 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Seriously, now. God Bless Barney Frank and his crotchety ol’ self.

  21. InsidiousTuna says at 4:44 pm, September 25th, 2008

    I suspended doing my homework until the economy is repaired. My teachers are displeased, but I’m taking a leadership position. I’m a Maverick.

  22. Monkey: Boehnerkill!

  23. Too Lazy To Sign In says at 4:47 pm, September 25th, 2008

    I Can Haz credit for teh economee now?

  24. PoliTacky says at 4:48 pm, September 25th, 2008

    …like this is going to stop McLame from taking credit for it anyway!

    Fucking Fail Cheese Cat!

  25. gurukalehuru says at 4:48 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Frank in Tank Spanks Crank

  26. InsidiousTuna: That’s funny, I’ve suspended bathing and wiping my ass after I take a dump until the economy improves as well.

    It’s actually not much of a sacrifice as I enjoy all the extra free time my new “no-ass-wiping or bathing” policy affords me.

  27. Yay Barney! You still rock, old pal.

  28. obama going into a room with two southern white guys. not a good idea.

  29. WhatTheHeck says at 4:56 pm, September 25th, 2008

    My friends, had I not been in D.C., this deal could never have been agreed upon.
    This proves I have the leadership capabilities to be president.

    I am now above presidential debates. I don’t need no stinkin’ debates.

  30. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:56 pm, September 25th, 2008

    KO should again be epic tonight. I mean, last night, he had witchhunter pastors, but tonight he has lost Grampy in search of a solution everyone else has already found. Classic!

  31. Sometimes Barney does stuff that makes me consider batting for the other team. There, I’m secure enough to admit it.

  32. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:00 pm, September 25th, 2008

    InsidiousTuna: rambone: So, the economic downturn is kind of like Lent. You give something up, but hopefully it’s something that mainly pisses off the rest of the world. Good times!

  33. I love this McCain stunt more and more with each passing hour.

  34. “McCain is Andy Kaufman in his Mighty Mouse costume - ‘Here I Come to Save the Day”

    Oh, the poor old codger.

  35. jamescarmel says at 5:03 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Richard Shelby is a douchenozzle. That is all.

  36. wtf_files says at 5:03 pm, September 25th, 2008

    McCain just announced that he’s willing to resume his campaign, but wishes to continue to suspend his loss of the election indefinitely. Obama’s unwillingness to go along with the senior senator’s demands only underscores his lack of patriotism. Do we really want a non-patriot like this running the country when Putin rears his head over Alaska’s international maritime border?

  37. Cogito Ergo Bibo: Except you forget and find yourself eating bacon on Fridays, anyway.

  38. tunamelt: Because, seriously, how are you supposed to stop eating bacon. mmmm….bacon….

  39. Harvey Birdman says at 5:06 pm, September 25th, 2008
  40. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:07 pm, September 25th, 2008

    tunamelt: Dude! You have no idea. I am the worst Catholic ever. Of course, now that I’m divorced my religion hates me anyway. So fuck ‘em. It’s Bacon Friday year ’round!

  41. shortsshortsshorts: If a McCain FAILS in the forest?

  42. What’s funny is McCain is walking around the Capitol with a piece of cheese stuck on his head. No one has the heart to tell him it’s been there all day.

  43. pondscum: Cogito Ergo Bibo: Bacon is the gateway drug of meat.

    Can we start a pool on what McCain’s next completely implausible stunt will be?

  44. This should make you giggle:

  45. Delicious: McNuggets will destroy the bill in order to save it. He’ll learned that trick in Viet Nam.

  46. anabellum says at 5:13 pm, September 25th, 2008

    next up…John McCain wrestles a 300 pound woman….

  47. anabellum: I’d like to see his Elvis impersonation.

  48. InsidiousTuna says at 5:17 pm, September 25th, 2008

    So, Barry takes questions in about ten minutes. There is SO MUCH LIVEBLOGGING going on HERE, in this FREE CHAT ROOM.

    http://wonkette.chatango.com

    Yes, it is full of Republican senators.

  49. Cogito Ergo Bibo: And some of that delish communion wine knocked back with a holy water chaser. Yummmmm-o.

  50. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:18 pm, September 25th, 2008

    S.Luggo: Poor, sweet old man.

  51. SkimLatteModerate says at 5:22 pm, September 25th, 2008

    “fuck you frank!!111!!” seems to be the new meme du jour over at the Ron Paul forums. Don’t judge me! This bailout pretty much goes against everything they’ve ever believed in, so I take solace in reading their reactions.

  52. InsidiousTuna: I hate you, since I still can’t use that at work.

  53. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:32 pm, September 25th, 2008

    InsidiousTuna: And teh gayz.

  54. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:34 pm, September 25th, 2008

    tunamelt: He’ll walk out wearing his undies as a hat. Or stomp around and refuse to vote for the compromise because he wasn’t involved. Oops! Too late. Already doing that.

  55. shortsshortsshorts: redundant

  56. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:39 pm, September 25th, 2008

    tunamelt: DAMNED.

  57. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 5:40 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Fuck you, my friend, my mavericky maverickness mavericked the United States out of this mess.

  58. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 5:45 pm, September 25th, 2008

    Advocatus_Diaboli: and I was POW for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, ALAN!

  59. S.Luggo: IF(?) a McCain fails in the forest?
