Ahem, “Inside an intense White House meeting over the financial crisis on Thursday, where nearly every key player came to an agreement on the outlines of the bailout package, Sen. John McCain stuck out. The Republican candidate, according to sources with direct knowledge, sat quiet through most of the meeting, never offered specifics, and spoke only at the end to raise doubts about the rough compromise that the White House and congressional leaders were nearing. McCain’s reluctance to jump on board the bailout agreement could throw the entire week-long negotiation into a tailspin,” the end. Just a fucking baby. [HuffPo]
Apparently, there was lotion for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!
He looks so…..supple.
Wah! Wah!
I guess McCain would be hoping this was like one of those Disney sports movies, where the Senate was just sitting there going “aw damnit where’s John oh well we’ll have to play without him” and they’re down going into the dying seconds of the game and OH WOW IT’S JOHN HE SHOWED UP AND SCORES THE GAME-WINNING POINT AND THE SENATE WINS
Except instead, McCain shows up at the last second, he’s in his team uniform ready to play, then he decides to sit on the bench for a while as his team squanders their lead, then he argues with the coach on the sidelines, then he just does something embarrassing like shitting his pants while the whole crowd laughs at him, then he just goes back into the locker room feeling even more useless and hollow inside as his team loses thanks to him and it’s the worst movie ending ever
Senator Walnuts, you are a motherfucking weasel. You parachute in to ’save’ the economy, and then you can’t even get your republican lapdogs to go along with a deal, which 80% of americans want done. Who in the hell do you think you are? If white people weren’t so damn stupid, your camapign would be over. Do us all a favor, and GO FUCK YOURSELF. FOR FIVE AND A HALF YEARS. Guess you wont be showing up to the debate tommorow, either. Pussy.
Not Baby. Maverick. There’s a difference you know.
CORPORATE TAX BREAKS!? When he finally dies, I hope he has to suck Nixon. echo - FOREVER - echo
This video is playing nonstop in McCain’s head.

I require royalties for the use of my body in this pic.
I hate this man with a white hot flaming passion unlike anything I’ve felt since George Monkey Boy Bush burst onto the scene like a rancid, pus-filled blister. ARGH!!!!!! I wish I still did drugs. Lots and lots of really good drugs. That is all.
He’s showing leadership, guys. It’s not partisan at all. The House Democrats just haven’t gotten that memo yet.
Just stop this, WALNUTS!, so that I don’t have to listen to Barney Frank splutter on at any more impromptu press conferences.

mattbolt: win
btw today’s coolest moment: Hopey’s Sidney Poitier-like stroll to the microphone: I am Mr. Tibbs!
Monsieur Grumpe:
Are you sure it’s not THIS ONE:

he appeared to have an odd senior moment,”who am i, why am i here, who are these people”?
Surreal: The amount of incompetence that the McCain campaign can spread around.

He had me until he went crazy-A-bonkers talking about breaking Barney Frank’s and Dodd’s phalanges.
Even Palin would have aborted that baby…
Uhhmm…looking at that picture, can someone explain to me again why anyone should be anti-choice?

MAVERICK of DEATH. I hate the bailout, but why doesn’t McDouche have a seat and enjoy the ride for a little while?
Hate Fuck. HATE FUCK.
It is kind of surreal - like this is happening in slow motion. You have all this shit in Washington and then during periodic intermissions, you have clips from Caribou Barbie talking gibberish. Meanwhile, the Chinese are flying to Uranus.
Oh snap! Your boy Anderson Cooper just straight put McCain on blast!
Thanks walnuts! I’ll never be able to retire after the crash you’ve induced tomorrow.
It’ll be a good subject for the debate, though.
HuskyMescan: Eff it, we’ll do it live!

In other news, the Feds just seized WAMU.
Oh, and McCain should be smited by God with lightning if he ever uses that ‘Country First’ Bullshit ever again.
Sounds like he’d like to lose the deal to win the election. Or something like that.
Is his crap working? He’s firing up his base and getting on every news broadcast.
The idiots think he has actually lit a fire under Pelosi’s butt. And he will show up for the debates tomorrow. For the koolaid crowd he eats his cake either way.
Cape Clod: Oh no! Where will Kojo and Diane go?
(and will USC please score now!)
Looks like he’s got W’s magic touch. Everything turns into a mushroom cloud.
Meanwhile, we just had the largest bank failure in history! We’re Number One! We’re Number One!
WALNUTS is willing to watch the country go down in flames, just because he can’t be the hero. Fucking unreal. He’s like a two year old throwing a tantrum.
So RWers and Faux, why is McCain’s campaign suspension brilliant? Seems to me that your judgment on what is brilliant or not is deceptive or you just plain fucking stupid. I’m guessing the former for Faux and the later for the RW dumbasses.
All I see is a grandstanding old coot who would rather the world go to shit because he can’t be the fucking hero. Who the fuck told McCain he was King Fucking Lear?
“You are not worth the dust that blows on your face.”
As none of them like him anyway , I say lawmakers make part of the deal include McCain’s donation of six of his houses and seven of his cars to the cause / greater good. You know, they can say that it was all his idea. It’ll be great.
CBS News reports that McCain’s alternative proposal includes “fewer regulations and corporate tax breaks.”
Well of course — if anything allowed a bunch of corporate greedheads to float bad bonds and make shitloads of money real fast, it was our current culture of overregulation and high taxation.
Johnny Zhivago: Damn that’s catchy. But the raisins seem to remind me of Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo…
Sorry Tina.
Out of the Congress
Out from the White House
Can’t make the same mistake this time
We are the forsaken
The last generation
We are whose future he crushed today
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Watching it all collapse till nothing else remains
We don’t need another Walnuts
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Credit Bomb
Looking for someone we can rely on
There’s got to be someone better out there
Thought and compassion, their day is coming
All else is bullshit flung in the air
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Watching it all collapse till nothing else remains
All the people say
We don’t need another Walnuts
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Credit Bomb
What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our future shine like a light
Or sink in the tank
Give it all or nothing
We don’t need another Walnuts
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Credit Bomb
SayItWithWookies: He’s taking that call for more and tougher regulation seriously, I see
SayItWithWookies: I wonder if it included calling for allowing school prayer and an amendment banning flag burning.
ManchuCandidate: My god. That was fukkin AWESOME. My hats off to you, sir!
HuskyMescan: That was interesting, thx. He all but said Limbaugh’s name (”cigar smoking”), and I wonder if he had Hannity in mind too. I disagree with O’Reilly, but I do believe he is the voice of the moderate right wing American.
G. Friday: FAWK! Oregon? WTF USC?
@ManchuCandidate: is that to the tune of Team America’s “All I ask i that you’re a woman!” song?
Also, think of WALNUTS! as a man whose sole contact with human society has been Norse mythology, where heroes take bold stands against inevitability and bravely fail to prevent everything they love from burning in eternal flame. It explains everything.
Of course he did… He barely got back to DC, he can’t claim he’s saved democracy and capitalism in such a short time.
Plus… if they pass it this week he’ll have to do that horrible debate thing that he’s not so fond of…
Maybe it was revenge on Bush for beating him in 2000.
Now Bush will really be worst POTUS ever.
Almost like a human being, John McCain came from the Canal Zone. But not the Birth Canal, the Panama one. It’s a little like the human one, but much farther down.
