Liveblogging The Mississippi Mud Slide, Part II

Jim Lehrer, you garish little Skittle whore! What kind of jacket is THAT? Slut slut slut Jim Lehrer is a slut. Oh god this debate is boring, we realized during our last moment of clarity. Time to open the Schlitz! Huh? Who are you people anyway. (Pre-blog & Part 1).

9:30 — “I saved the taxpayers 6 million dollars on a contract between Boeing and…” Oh right, you mean that fight you picked up because your favorite lobbyist friends asked for it. But oh! What do we know. We were in high school or whatever. John McCain was still in Vietnam when he did this.
9:31 — Obama: “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh insurance $15 billion dollars, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, George W. Bush is, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, $20 billion dollars and a fried Scottish terrier.”
9:32 — Lehrer: “One of you all will be president in January.” Candidates: “MMHMM MMHMM.”
9:33 — OH MY GOD JOHN MCCAIN IS OFF HIS METAMUCIL AIDS PILLS AGAIN: He wants to have a “spending freeze,” um, “temporarily,” for all items that aren’t defense or veterans’ care. WHAA? Obama lists two of the 8,000 million trillion reasons why this is not actual a policy at all ever. “Medicare,” for example.
9:34 — Ha ha, fuckin’ Lehrer is condescending to these two so much. Every question has been, “please answer the first question I asked in this debate?”
9:37 — **DING DING DING DRUDGE SIREN DING** Barack Obama says the word “orgy.” Orgy of “spending.”
9:38 — **DING DING DING DRUDGE SIREN DING DING PART II: Barack Obama follows his orgy statement with “you swallow it.” Jesus fuck. He is going to teach sex-ed to at least uh 100 million kindergartners (Caucasian) in one hour.
9:39 — Oh look, they are going to talk about foreign policy now, 40 minutes into the foreign policy debate. Whazza we got goin’ over there, in the foreign countries? Iraq? That still going on? Meh. Tell me about Chris Dodd microprovisions a little more.
9:39 — How do you feel about the lessons of Iraq, John McCain?
9:40 — “Someone else who agreed with everything I said fucked up. I, uh, passed difficult legislation. Know? VICTORY!
9:41 — How do you feel about the lessons of Iraq, John McCain?
9:42 — “Nah nah, man, Lehrer, Iraq. Iraq! Iraq. Nah nah, Lehrer. I’ve been called worse things on the basketball court. Wait, what?”
9:43 — Obama’s faces are priceless whenever McCain starts throwing out bullshit. It’s a tight, lip-sucking sarcasm smile, a la “Jim” from the Office. Stare into the camera with a “WHAAA?”
9:44 — McCain’s face, meanwhile, says, “I WANT TO SUCKLE THE FLESH OF A VIRGIN PUPPY.”
9:45 — Obama lists a number of things John McCain got wrong in 2002-03 about war in Iraq war Congress blah… who remembers back then? I got a new iPod last week though!
9:47 — McCain: Barack Obama visited Iraq -40 times and literally ate three Marines through his anus. And then he voted against the moneys.
9:49 — OH MY GOD ROB. My fucking roommate, “Rob,” just dropped a 40 of Schlitz on the kitchen floor and it broke. SMASHED. Everyone say, “die Rob,” right now. DIE ROB! And now we have to split this Steel Reserve.
9:50 — Gawd. Can someone tell a joke? Isn’t McCain known for that, his “funnies”? Tell one of those things about bestiality rape. Oh god Rob is still cleaning up the glass. Barack Obama is such a downer about Iraq! What did Iraq ever do to him.
9:51 — THIS IS SO BOOOOORIRIRNGNGNGNGNG. Perhaps Barry just wants a stalemate. That would make sense. Stalemate. I hope Rob gets glass in his feet.
9:53 — Poppy fields are growing in Afghanistan, Barry says. Silly Barry. Doesn’t he know that most people don’t make the connection between poppy and terrible drugs? Poppy is a nice salad dressing seed!
9:54 — Walnuts: “we need to rebuild the Marriott in Islamabad.” We need to *help* the bad Islam town?
9:55 — Obama says, if them Pakistani bitchcunts be actin up, we gots to “TAKE ‘EM OUT.” Whoa hey what who are you whoa hey.
9:56 — Oh god Ken needs to take over REALLY SOON.
9:57 — HAHAHAHA, Obama brings up “Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.” First time ever! What?
9:58 — McCain: when I came to the Congresses in 1983, I had no pants. Now I haz pants. Now I bomb Kosovo. Now I have a record. Pakistan. Barack Obama knows none of these things. I now have pants. I just pooped all over them.
9:59 — McCain: “I knew some guy who died last year.” Oh is he crying? Oh god he’s crying.
10:00 — HAHAHA Obama: “I knew some guy who died last year too.” But he doesn’t cry because he’s an adult.
10:00 — Alright, Ken’s turn, thank God! Ken is the president of Mojave Desertz tee hee. GO HERE.

  16. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:33 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Obama is saying uh… a lot less. Very crisp. And that liberal = opposing George Bush? GOLD!!!

  17. soytrucknutz says at 9:33 pm, September 26th, 2008

  25. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    …WALNUTS! is running off of a script. If Barry keeps the pressure up he will make him slip!

  26. superfecta says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    McCain is fine with those nuke plants going in the yards of his seven houses, correct?

  27. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    hatchet for scalpel. nice.

  28. Crow T. Robot says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    “Effect how you *rule* the country”?!? What the hell Lehrer. I’m looking for a president…

    …or did he just let the cat out of the bag.

    (Cue scary music)

    Barry’s Debate Coach: “Just pretend he’s Alan Keyes in his underwear, you’ll do fine.”

  31. 2druk2phluq says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Walnuts head looks like a zit about to blow, except when he gives the death grin, then he’s a carnivorous zit

  32. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    …damn it, take a time out! I need to hit the fridge for some more booze damn it!!!

  33. VoxPopuli says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    McCain: blink, blink, blink, blink, blink. Blink.

  34. DoctorCulturae says at 9:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Barry scores points when he challenges McBoob to his face and not to camera/audience.

  35. simetrias says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    McCain is clueless abt. health care.

  36. SayItWithWookies says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Yeah, the government got its money back during the Depression — after fifteen years. Which is two lifetimes in presidential election cycles.

  37. Haha. McCain wants the families to confer with their deceased regarding health care.

  38. Crow T. Robot says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    OK, look, this is boring. You’re right. I’m gonna look at porn.

  39. HuskyMescan says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Jim Lehrer can taste colors, man.

  40. DoctorCulturae says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Time for a “there you go again” response.

  41. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Ken Layne: You have to love that Lehrer goaded McCain into that. McCain can’t stand a vacuum.

    So, was the lack of post this afternoon so you all could do all the Blingee art?

  42. The spending freeze idea is both obviously irresponsible and also obviously disingenuous. Does it matter to McCain that he is likely to piss off everyone with that line?

  43. 2druk2phluq says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    foreign policy debate, eh?
    they meant fo’ reignin’ policed rebate

  44. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:35 pm, September 26th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: You didn’t put a fridge next to your La-Z-Boy? That’s the first thing I did with my stimulus check.

  47. here comes the W smack down

  48. bitchincamaro says at 9:36 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Yay. Orgy!

  49. orgy of spending!

  50. Walnuts just confused millions will billions! I think we have to adopt the English system of referring to billion as thousand million. And the English system of referring to girls as birds.

  51. So trusting the Fed to bail out Wall Street = GOOD. Trusting the Fed to bail out health care = BAD. WTF, McPain?

  52. simetrias says at 9:36 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Finally, Walnuts. Orgy of spending! Bush!!

  53. Sonic Former Youth says at 9:36 pm, September 26th, 2008

    90% of the time brought a teeny smirk of pain

  54. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:36 pm, September 26th, 2008

    …did Barry just say “Orgy”?

  55. Orgy of spending! Tell em! I’m so mad (read: drunk) I can’t!

  56. Obama just said that Walnuts likes orgies! That’s the spirit.

  57. SayItWithWookies says at 9:36 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Oh, McCain’s right — high taxes are the cause of this subprime mortgage crisis. How come more people don’t realize he’s the man to fix the economy?

  58. superfecta says at 9:36 pm, September 26th, 2008

    So McCain’s definition of lower taxes is taxing my health insurance as income? Tell me more!

  59. ugh. mccain is just yakking about repube talking points. “he’ll raise yr taxes! he’ll do this! he’s black! usa!”

  60. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: That is why I love the Tivo.

  61. DoctorCulturae says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    90% Walnuts!

  62. Ken Layne: Yup, that’s exactly what it looks like. I expect that he will next ask us to go back on the gold standard and return to the pre-war exchange rate, because he hates the economy just that much.

  63. Spending freeze on everything except for War and the Valium for the old soldiers in the Veterans Hospital. Goddamit, lets just go ahead and declare martial law.

  64. ifthethunderdontgetya says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I think that jacket is sending some kind of signal.

    John McCain is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.

  65. SystemError says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    MAVERICK!

    DRINK DRINK DRINK!!!!!

    AGAIN?? Miss Congeniality? Meet ya’ in the bathroom, Mr. Maverick.

  67. NotLaughing says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Orgy?

    Uh oh. There goes the conservative vote that he didn’t have.

    Uh oh. That Ms. Congeniality thing again. I think that’s
    a Freudian/passive aggressive thing.

  68. MAVERICK - in what respect?

  69. Its the Pottery Barn principle of voting, John. You voted for it, you own it.

    Response: “But I got Palin now.”

  70. “a partner”? awww, lieberman is his partner now. ooh la di dah!

  71. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    …lessons of Vietnam = FIVE AND HALF YEARS ALAN!!!

  72. The Mattress Police says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I can’t tell, does this debate make no sense, or am I just drunk?

  73. Sonic Former Youth says at 9:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    and his “partner” WAS Miss Congeniality. Or….was she?

  74. Tee-hee. He has an old pen, but a long record.

  75. SayItWithWookies says at 9:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Barry smacks down McCain on budget. His response? I was not elected Miss Congeniality.

  76. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I just was thinking Obama should call him on who has been in power, and he did. Oooh, I’m mind linked to Obama.

    McCain is starting to sputter.

  77. Texas2Step says at 9:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    YES, WALNUT!!! WE KNOW YOU WEREN’T ELECTED MISS CONGENIALITY!!! YOU MENTIONED IT ALREADY!!!!

    How much Vodka is too much….?

  78. come on obama!! kick this mcsame’s ass

  79. “The lesson of Iraq is that I fixed it!”, says McCain.

  80. Lessons of Iraq “you can’t have a failed strategy that will make you nearly lose a conflict” Really? what is the definition of “failed strategy”, John?

  81. bitchincamaro says at 9:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Vietnam redux

  82. middlewest says at 9:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    So, wait- is McCain running for Miss Congeniality? That’s what I’m getting out of this.

  83. Sonic Former Youth says at 9:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    BO has to bring up that Petraeus doesn’t allow the “we’re winning” talk. Make him make him make him.

  84. Did McCain REALLY just use the Miss Congeniality line uh-GAIN?

  85. “I think the lesson of Iraq is that you cannot have a failed strategy that then causes you to lose. I also believe that tautologies are tautologies too.”

  86. WithMySFValues says at 9:39 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Senator Cranky McCombOver reminds us all that he’s been cutting spending since the dinosaurs — way to remind us that Walnuts is older the dirt!

  87. Newell - you damn flashy pictures are giving me brain tumors.

  88. expatinOz says at 9:39 pm, September 26th, 2008

    new drinking game…Miss Congeniality.,..DRINK MOFOS

  89. SayItWithWookies says at 9:39 pm, September 26th, 2008

    “The lessons of Iraq are very clear — you cannot have a failed strategy…”

    Wow. That whirring sound is Clausewitz spinning in his grave.

  90. Itsjustme says at 9:39 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Ken Layne: Cindy heard that and just served Walnuts with an “I don’t think so”

  91. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:39 pm, September 26th, 2008

    …has anyone else noticed the whistle that WALNUTS! has at the end of all of his words?

  92. simetrias says at 9:39 pm, September 26th, 2008

    All three of these guys have black eyes.

  93. Ken Layne says at 9:39 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Oh our buddies in Reno are running a great liveblog, too: Reno Style.

  94. “I went to Iraq, and met with Nebuchadnezzar and Schabuchadnezzar and we agreed that to smote the Persians and Hittites was a glorious work in the eyes of Ba-al.”

  95. come o-bama, do not let this guy hijack the debate with irak talk

  96. McCain seems tired. Must have had a rough week, poor baby.

  97. 2druk2phluq says at 9:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Hippie chick wants to fuck (after only 8 shots)
    end of debate
    outtahere

  98. bitchincamaro says at 9:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    “surge” is coming. get ready to hold your urine people.

  99. soytrucknutz: I spent my stimulus check on a handjob in Chinatown. I wouldn’t have done that if I’d known that the government would be ass-raping me for free a few months later.

  100. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Good God, McCain referred to himself as a “maverick,” and then tied himself to Ms. I Can See Russia, who is also a maverick.

  101. Y’all think Barack is gorgeous. You wanna date him.

  102. SayItWithWookies says at 9:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    “We will come home when we have won other wars and not in defeat.”
    Like I did. Not that I’m bitter.

  103. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    …DAMN! Barry with all the Iraq statistics!

  104. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Walnuts needs to eat his vegetables. (My wife said that)

  105. SayItWithWookies says at 9:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Yuppie: Nor for the last time, I’ll wager.

  106. DoctorCulturae says at 9:41 pm, September 26th, 2008

  108. DoktorZoom says at 9:41 pm, September 26th, 2008

    These Iraqis, they have some sort of surplus? Perhaps they could bail out our banks?

  109. simetrias says at 9:41 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Barry is making sharp points but in a low key style. SHOUT IT.

  110. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:41 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Broccoli!!!!

  111. NotLaughing says at 9:41 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Good. Obama acknowledged our Chinese overlords.

  117. The Mattress Police: you’re drunk.

  119. SayItWithWookies says at 9:42 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Oh, McCain’s great — let’s not argue about who got us into this Iraqi shithole to begin with — let’s argue about piddly shit.

  120. graceless says at 9:42 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Walnuts raised Petrus

  121. simetrias says at 9:43 pm, September 26th, 2008

  130. Barry, dude, luv ya. He just ripped McCain a new one on Iraq. “you were wrong”

  131. NotLaughing says at 9:44 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I’m already insane so it doesn’t bother me at all.

    Yeah, Obama knows the difference between a tactic and a strategy. Unlike Bush, who doesn’t know the difference between a tactic and a tic-tac.

  142. McCain is insane. I can’t take it

  143. john sounds so sweet talking about war. its like a lullaby

  144. accidental_tourist says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I was worried about tonight. But damn, Barry makes me PROUD to have switched from Democrat to Republican back to Democrat.

  145. simetrias says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    McCain sounds like a priest now.

  146. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Patreus, McCain and Grahme had a three-way?

  147. No you stupid sh!t, they re-enlisted because their buddies were there, NOT for f***ing “Iraqi Freedom.”

  148. twoeightnine says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    So McCain wants to win in Iraq but the next president isn’t going to have to worry about winning in Iraq.

  149. Sonic Former Youth says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Hey. What IS the difference between a strategy and a tactic? W is so over my head and elitist.

  150. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Fuck. His. Shit. Up!!! Hopey!!!!! Inside baseball. Boo Yah!!!

  151. bitchincamaro says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Walnuts is winning

  152. ClothCoated says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Barry had him on the ropes. Punch: You were wrong! Punch: you were wrong! Punch You were wrong!

  153. SayItWithWookies says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Oh god — McCain’s doing the re-enlistement ceremony bullshit.
    “Let us win?!” Uh — what’s holding you back?
    And no we’re not winning in Iraq. The Kurds are doing pretty well though. And the Shi’ites.

  154. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    The Iraqis killed enough of eachother for the war to succeed. We have nothing to fucking do with it. BLAH.

  155. obama is losing on the foreign policy. come on obama give an uppercut!!

  156. Obama calls McCain “John,” but McCain calls Obama “Senator Obama.” Subtle.

  157. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    graceless:
    No. Walnuts gave birth to Patrus!

  158. druranium says at 9:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    John is not here to debate.
    He is here to tell old man stories about 4th of July and wars.
    The troops just want to fight. Why won’t Barack just let them stay and fight?!?!

  159. bitchincamaro says at 9:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Barry is being a professor

  160. The Neoskeptic says at 9:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    d4g33z: YEAH, IT’S MAKING MY THIRD BOTTLE OF WINE LOOK LIKE AN EX-BEAUTY QUEEN BEER HEIRESS

  161. SayItWithWookies says at 9:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    YES! Barry cuts McCain off!

  162. “I do understand the difference between a strategy and a tactic, you twit.”

  163. The Mattress Police says at 9:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    thwanger: ain’t it the truth.

  164. NotLaughing says at 9:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Barry is preaching now… in a good way.

  167. Barry is burying the lead. Iraq has a surplus. We are paying for the war. And we are going further into debt for this fucking war. Goddamit, BO, take this fuckers knees out.

  168. bitchincamaro says at 9:47 pm, September 26th, 2008

    OK, now Barry is winning

  169. The Neoskeptic says at 9:47 pm, September 26th, 2008

    druranium: Yeah, McCain sure isn’t playing down the age thing is he? “I knew Grorge Washington, and you sir are no George Washington!”

  181. The bad news, my fellow Wanketteers, is that McCain is defining Obama, and Obama is not returning teh favor. MCCain has him on the defensive.

    Ignore him completely on start defining McCain, Barak.

  182. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:50 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Ah shit. Newell is using the tag? that is serious old school.

  183. SayItWithWookies says at 9:50 pm, September 26th, 2008

    True that — Afghanistan is now more deadly for troops per capita than Iraq.

  184. Texas2Step says at 9:50 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I think the debate’s a draw. I don’t know. I need a drink. Tell me it’s going to be ok, Barry’s going to be the Prez, and I won’t have to move to Amsterdam…

  185. expatinOz says at 9:50 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I liked when he said strategic in a bitchy way and looked at walnuts…it was hawt

  186. come on, let’s talk about afghanistan. iraq is a failure!! yes the surge succeded. let’s move on to something else please! i can’t take this anymore…

  201. I am only getting this glorious event via radio, so I appreciate the descripions. I hope that y’all will mention if death-rays shoot out of McCain’s eyes, or steam from his ears or anything similarly amusing.

    Yeah, I’m on dial-up in my little Unabomber cabin in the mountains. I didn’t want to take any chances in case McCain starts a war with the Ruskies tonight. I know that Sarah isn’t in Alaska to keep an eye on any head-rearing that front.

  202. chascates says at 9:51 pm, September 26th, 2008

  210. Roommate…sounds gay.

  211. SayItWithWookies says at 9:52 pm, September 26th, 2008

  213. superfecta says at 9:52 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I like that McCain called bin Laden a ‘freedom fighter’ - is bin Laden in the tank for him?

  214. soytrucknutz says at 9:52 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Ha ha, McCain would only secretly attack Pakistan, Obama you’re so dumb because you’d only announce that you were shooting your fellow half breed Muslins!

  215. wow. wow. “the new president of pakistan has got his hands full.” wow. fantastic insight, john.

  216. “You don’t say that out load! You torture them in private. Geesh!”

    WALNUTS! you old jerk. You say our diddling in Afghanistan during the Cold War led to the trouble we have in the region now. Yes, that is true, and I’m assuming you’re referring to things like training Osama Bin Laden to fight the commies. So, why not LEARN the lesson that our foreign policy affects our safety and that the Iraq war has made us LESS SECURE?

  227. McCain is showing his lower teeth, meaning he’s pissed. Good. Throw that fookin’ Sharpie.

  228. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:53 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Newell is using the blink tag. Way old school.

  230. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:53 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Alexander the Great??? i thought the Eisenhower refernce dated him…was he Colin Ferrel’s military advisory?

  235. SayItWithWookies: only the next 3 or 4 times. that’s it. he promised alexander the great.

  239. SayItWithWookies says at 9:54 pm, September 26th, 2008

    McCain’s not senile — listening to him talk about Afghanistan — well, he’s just an idiot.

  240. oh snap! bomb bomb bomb iran!

  241. Barry - you are still on the defensive. Less “Here’s what I said.” and more “Dude, you are so out of touch!”

  242. simetrias says at 9:54 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Bomb Bomb Bomb

  256. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:55 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Damn it. I didn’t have that Obama would be the first to mention “Bomb Iran” in the pool. What a fool am I.

  257. Finally, a sharp elbow from Barry, with the bomb Iran line.

  258. Coddling Musharraf. Ewww…

  259. SayItWithWookies says at 9:56 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Calling McCain by his first name is irritating him, I’ll bet.

  260. chascates says at 9:56 pm, September 26th, 2008

    And Barack, don’t keep saying “Senator McCain is right.” Just repeat the phrase you want to use without attribution. Less politeness, more aggression, please.

    Walnuts keeps saying “What Sen Obama doesn’t understand.”

    Barry has to say that back. “What McCain can’t hear, understand, or repeat in 30 seconds is…”

  277. McCain: “I supported the Crimean War. I was there. I know.”

  278. bitchincamaro says at 9:57 pm, September 26th, 2008

    can we haz noo thread?

  279. SayItWithWookies says at 9:57 pm, September 26th, 2008

    McCain — Pakistan was a failed state when Musharraf “came to power.” What?! It was a functioning democracy. Other than that — yeah, it was a failed state.
    Now, let’s break for some more war stories from McWarPrisoner.

  290. Deepthroat says at 9:58 pm, September 26th, 2008

    all these fuuucking stoooorries…

  291. By talking about Reagan and Lebanon, McCain is basically saying how old he is.

  298. blah blah blah, you are getting confused, old man.

  299. Here come the “The mothers of dead soldiers love me” speech.

  300. SkimLatteModerate says at 9:58 pm, September 26th, 2008

  333. McCain’s theme for this evening: Less taxes, more war.

  334. I went for 5-1/2 years without braceletes to wear.

  335. Good tactic, Barry– shift from personal stories to policy.

  336. i’m so confused. every time i refresh there’s something from ‘notlaughing’ about how they’re protesting. when you protest don’t you leave? at least leave websites? oh i get it they’re picketing the front gates. gotcha. we’re all scabs.

  352. “I’ve seen Russia from my backyard.”

    oops, sorry wrong debate

  353. what would happen if they touch bracelets?

  354. why does traveling there mean so much? “oh i saw it once. i get it all now.” everyone knows someone who “loves greece” because they saw one square mile of mykonos.

  361. SayItWithWookies says at 10:02 pm, September 26th, 2008

    McCain: “I know what our security requirements are and I know what our needs are.” I just never actually say what they are.

  362. It’s “General Petraeus, , the Magnificent, may peace be upon him.”

  363. No no no the song, sing the song!!!

  364. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:02 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Dear John,
    We have already lost the war. Asshole.

  367. CorkPopper says at 10:02 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I thought the timetable thing was kind of moot…aren’t they kicking us out anyway? Or is a McCain administration planning on saying “STFU, we’re staying bitches”?

  368. This goddam stab-in-the-back rhetoric was drilled into Mac by Rudy, who was wearing his spiked helmet.

    1st one didn’t really happen; so who cares, Walnuts?

  375. DoctorCulturae says at 10:02 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I think we have a new slogan: I have a bracelet too.

  376. Weeping Jesus says at 10:02 pm, September 26th, 2008

  383. Oh shit! McCain’s talking about a second holocaust. Wink, wink Israeli bankers.

  384. A League of Democracies! With capes & hats!

  385. DoktorZoom: No. Unless you wear a dead guy’s bracelet, you hate America. Bracelet is the new flag pin. At least bracelets allow you to style more, so it’s an improvement, y’know?

  386. superfecta says at 10:03 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I don’t think McCain knows how to use ‘existential’ in a sentence.

  387. Texas2Step says at 10:03 pm, September 26th, 2008

    A Leauge of Democracies? Isn’t that called the U.N.? Do we NEED another UN?

  388. It’s “General Petraeus, the Magnificent, the Almighty”

  389. McCain will save the Jews from the .Holocaust He really does have a time machine!

  402. Wally’s sibilance is annoying TF out of me.
    Please, someone get him some Den-tu-Grip!

  403. How’s about having Israel get rid of their nukes while we’re at it?

  431. After watching this the Israelis will be warming up the jets to hit Iran.

  432. mcsame: akhmadenijdad

  433. The Muslim knows how to pronounce Ahmajeniad, that’s fer sure.

  434. Ahmadinejad is in New York now telling saying he is going to wipe out Israel.

  435. First of all, Senator McCain, the administration is talking about sitting down with Iran.

  436. Sussemilch says at 10:08 pm, September 26th, 2008

    TEA PARTY!

  437. Invite them for tea? no, for a toke. Or a line.

    i would have tea with barry.

  439. Weeping Jesus says at 10:09 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Preconditions.
    They’re important.
    Why?
    Oh, Nixon. I see.

  440. One think that Barry and Old Spice can agree on is the pronunciation of “nuclear” — that is great progress.

    McCain should skool his protege on that.

    They still need to reach an agreement on pronouncing “Ahmadinejad” apparently.

  441. Obama invites world leaders over for tea. What an elitist with his expensive suits and fancy bracelets and want for nuclear holocausts.

  442. obama is sounding and looking more and more and more presidential.
    PRECONDITIONS!!!

  443. WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  444. Weeping Jesus says at 10:10 pm, September 26th, 2008

  450. GOOD ONE OBAMA: PRESIDENT OF SPAIN!

  451. akhmadenijad again!

  452. That’s right, Zapatero is secretly president of some Latin American country!

  453. Walnuts thought Spain was in Latin America.

  454. constitutionalpeasant says at 10:11 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Ha Ha Spain!

  455. Terry: audience was asked to keep quiet!

  456. Speaking of stinking corpses and three inches shorter….

  457. So McCain wouldn’t have sat down with the heads of China or Russia if they said nasty things!

  458. Weeping Jesus says at 10:12 pm, September 26th, 2008

    “Obama doesn’t seem to understand…but it’s a fundamental difference of opinion…”

  461. middlewest: I was thinking the same thing. Barry should have let the corps have his bracelet.

  462. Obama looks smart; Walnuts is starting to repeat himself. What he doesn;t understand….

  463. McCain smiles like a shark

  464. Terry: They must give them free beer like at the tapings of Austin City Limits. Or they all fell asleep.

  465. McCain is unbelievable. he only sees the world in black and white.

  466. Fuck Kissinger. He was and is a nihilistic fool.

  467. Oh, please dear god, new topic, new topic

  468. jokerontheleft says at 10:14 pm, September 26th, 2008

    can we drink in celebration of russia?

  469. Obama is staying calm/Walnuts is shitting his Depends!

  470. please let McCain frak out and call him a dirty word preferably something racist…just so everyone can see what he’s really thinking…I want it to be like a seen in law and order when the narcisitic killer admits

  471. But can you see the Latvians from your porch?

  472. ClothCoated says at 10:16 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Terry: They must be gobsmacked by McSame’s breathtaking gibberish. I am.

  473. Sean O: Or in Ebony and Ivory.

    I was in Georgia once, too. Varsity drive in is great!!

  488. mcsame: i know russia, i was there once.

  490. nurple: The job is already taken by Palin’s anti-Soviet, Alaskan national guard. Bristol is its port of call. Wha? I just make small, small joke. It was meant in the spirit of bipartainship. True. Bite me.

  491. Weeping Jesus says at 10:20 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Memo to Obama: Start saying, “Walnuts is once again letting us know that he really doesn’t spend much time in the Senate, what with all the taxpayer-funded foreign travel….just sayin’…seems to spend the taxpayer money like a drunk….not sayin’ nothin’ but dat’s wrong…”

  494. ClothCoated says at 10:21 pm, September 26th, 2008

    The reason Barry didn’t compare himself to Alexander the Great is because McSame could have said” “I knew Alexander, I served with Alexander and Senator, you are no Alexander the Great.

  495. Big Al1317 says at 10:23 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Oh, no Barry’s got spittle on his lower lip!!

    It was fun to hear John McCain lose the entire state of Washington with his bitch about Boeing. Yay John McCain! Took away our plane jobs and sent them to Russia! Yay!
