Whoa Hey John McCain Half-Misspeaks Whoa Hey

Libtards are giggling like rich schoolgirls on acid over this one. Along the lines of, JOHN MCCAIN DOES NOT KNOW THAT VENEZUELA ISN’T IN THE MIDDLE EAST! Can you even believe it oh my god blah blah blah. Whatever. They can enjoy getting ulcers over John McCain’s poor choice of conjunctions or adjectives such as “other.” [Ben Smith]

  1. I understand this day and age of “gotcha” journalism. Is that a pizza place? In a conversation with someone who you didn’t hear…

  2. Before the next debate, Hopey should give him a globe.

    FALL BACK on 9/11 Walnuts! Quickly! 9/11!!!

  4. grendel: I wish they had a sound byte of rich schoolgirls on acid because I think I may have done a pretty good impression after reading your post

  5. Serolf Divad says at 2:14 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I’m more creeped out by the way his words precede the movements of his lips by about half a second. The book of Revelations predicts just that behavior of the Antichrist.

  6. Am I the only one tired of being pissed off and calling people idiots during this election? I just can’t get that fake rage hardon anymore. I need O’Reilly’s advice…he seems to constantly get it up even at his age.

  7. ihasasad: I wish I had a roomful of rich schoolgirls on acid, ’cause that sounds like a naughty fun sexy time

  8. lumpenprole says at 2:16 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Most of us have a hard time keeping track of the post-Cold War map, whereas Walnuts has to worry about accounting for most all the changes that have occurred since Pangaea broke up. Iz hard.

  9. WWJGD: It’s a combination of Viagra and ‘Roids

  10. SuperRounder says at 2:17 pm, September 30th, 2008

    FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, JIM!!!!!!!!!

  11. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:18 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Bless your heart, John, but senility’s a bitch, ain’t it?

  12. InsidiousTuna says at 2:18 pm, September 30th, 2008

    grendel: Delta delta delta!

  13. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:20 pm, September 30th, 2008

    …ehhhh, brown people are brown people! Right?!

  14. mookworthjwilson says at 2:21 pm, September 30th, 2008

    “See, when I was a POW, just to fuck with our heads, Charlie gave us fake maps, and one of them had Venezuela bordered by Saudi Arabia…same map had Iraq sharing a border with Pakistan…and I had to endure this for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!!!”

  15. Delicious says at 2:21 pm, September 30th, 2008

    One of the commenters at Politico suggested that this is what happens when you spend too much time with Sarah Palin.

    It’s like HAL near the end of “2001″

  16. The Iraq, such as.

  17. InsidiousTuna: can i help ya help ya help ya? I don’t remember their laugh though

  18. Freshly Minted Hobo Jack Mehoff says at 2:23 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I realise that all old peolpe have kinda creepy hands but Jammakains hands are creepy enough to chase the tripping schoolgirls out of my head. Why does John McCain hate sexual fantasies about young american drug abusers?

  19. slappypaddy says at 2:24 pm, September 30th, 2008

    context, context… wher is he and them other peeps? airplane hanger? construction site? down at th’docks o’the bay, watchin the tide roll away?

  20. Pop quiz on FOREIGN OIL FROM EVIL FOREIGN ENEMIES: Where are the top 3 countries the US gets most of its oil from? Your average Joe’s gonna say Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, I-dunno-but-somewhere-brown-and-evil, etc. I don’t blame that, that’s sure what politicians want you to think.

    http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/images/EC_2_lg.gif

    TOP 3
    US Domestic production: 34%
    Canada: 12%
    Mexico: 9%

    AHHH THOSE EVIL MUSLIM ENEMY REGIMES OF CANADA AND MEXICO

  21. The Jackson Five says at 2:25 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Spain = Latin America
    Venezuela = Middle East
    McGrampy = Senility

  22. friendlynerd says at 2:26 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Such as the Iraq.

  23. Of course, Venezuela isn’t in the Middle East. It’s in Latin America, right next to Spain.

  24. I was more disturbed by his whistling ‘S’s. When he said ‘certain sets of circumstances’ at the end I thought all the workers were going to leave thinking the shift-change whistle had just blown.

  25. grendel: Sounds deadly. I just want to be able to get mad at miniscule examples of stupidity, not smother and strangle my wife and kid while wearing a baby blue tux.

  26. Gawd, McCain has aged about 10 years in the past 6 months, can you imagine what dude is going to look like in FOUR YEARS?

  27. I think that Hugo Chavez makes a fine men’s suit!

  28. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:38 pm, September 30th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Yep, Muslims, Mexicans, Spaniards. They’re all swarthy & MUST go in Walnuts world.

    It’s a good thing the Asians have funny eyes so he can tell them apart from the coloreds–that’s the only thing saving them from total annihilation by Walnuts.

  29. obfuscator says at 2:39 pm, September 30th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: He was a whiz kid at geography back in jr. high. Of course, this was back when Pangea was the only continent.

  30. Where the hell is he? Looks like he is speaking from the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:40 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Dave J.: Can you see through a casket?

  32. Chicken Smack says at 2:40 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Ahh, didn’t sound like he flubbed that one. I’ll be the buzzkill and say that McCain is absolutely welcome to isolate Chavez in a discussion, and refer to “other M-E countries”, and it still won’t outline Obama’s plan to fix the clusterfuck.

    One would think that McCain himself should start campaigning for Obama right now.

  33. obfuscator: If I had a trillion dollars, I’d give ‘em to you for that one!

  34. slithytoves says at 2:45 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Chicken Smack: Agreed - that was a reach for a snark.

  35. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:46 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Chicken Smack: If you were President Obama & wanted to be all ‘Team of Rivals’-ish, where exactly would you put Walnuts? I think it’s pretty obvious the old coot is senile; he isn’t cabinet-level material by any means. Maybe he can be in charge of monitoring the bathroom keys or counting the paper clips.

  36. Sussemilch says at 2:47 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Dave J.: I haven’t seen someone age that fast since the third Indiana Jones movie.

  37. The internet is a series of youtubes.

  38. SayItWithWookies says at 2:49 pm, September 30th, 2008

    He actually says “…dependent on people like Hugo Chavez or other parts of the Middle East.” Like that other troubled hotspot, Carmen Sandiego?

  39. PentagonBookkeeper says at 2:50 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Baconcat: His hissing ‘S’s are grossly equal to his slurping in of the air it takes to make his mouth move independently of reality. With all that money Cindy showers on everyone she loves (uh oh…), couldn’t she take him to the best dentist to the stars and get those whistling greyish yellow teeth upgraded?

    Maybe the fact that he was born in or on or under or near the Panama Canal has warped his world view, or as Sarah would call it, “The Bush Doctrine”.

  40. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 2:51 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Walnuts was referring to rotund Dodgers Pitching Sensation Fernando Venezuela.

  41. Pop-pop’s tired. After his nap, I’m certain he’ll be able to identify every country and its location accurately. Well, maybe not the ones located in that newfangled Laurasia, but at least all in Gondwanaland.

  42. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:00 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: …I think in WALNUTS! case it may be better not to look like the people who anally raped and beat him for 5 AND A HALF YEARS ALAN!. If you know what I mean.

  43. Mad Mav v5.5 defaults to gibberish mode when he has a diaper full of doody.

  44. Dave J.: In four years, he’ll look like some of the worst things on somethingawful. Unless he’s just cremaining it in a shoebox-sized hole in some columbarium.

    Seriously, I don’t think he’ll live out the year. And even at that, I fear his body will slightly outlast his mind. He reminds me of my Dad, in his last month of relative sanity before the Alzheimer’s became noticeable enough to put the poor guy in The Home.

  45. Hey, where’s his flag pin? Bastard.

  46. OhYeahAlright says at 4:02 pm, September 30th, 2008

    The Jackson Five: gjdodger: Spain’s not in Latin America… Idiots…
    Its called LATIN america for a reason. Cause of the people that live there, duh. Rome’s in Latin America, why else would it be called LATIN?

  47. junkscience says at 4:11 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I want some acid.

  48. Destablised under certain cercumstances…. hmmmm you mean like invading a country without cause?

    Naw, that woud NEVER happen…… oh, wait… never mind

  49. gurukalehuru says at 4:35 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I suggest that all four candidates be asked the same question as Miss Teen South Carolina was asked. It’s a legitimate question. And it’d be a hoot.

  50. Johnny Zhivago says at 4:40 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Can’t someone find some nice, shiny thing to give McCain so he forgets all about being president he can stop wasting everyone’s time?

  51. Johnny Zhivago says at 4:41 pm, September 30th, 2008

    azw88: Question for mcCain: Locate the nearest Pizza place using google.

  52. Dave J.: They are gonna do to Johnny-Mac what the russkies did to Lenin back in the day. THey will coat him in wax and prop him up in the oval office. A secret junta will make all of the decisions. Don’t laugh, it worked with Reagan!

  53. *sigh* I have so much to do! I have to go to Burger King and other…uh…department stores.

  54. After reading the comments I was prepared for whistling S’s. But not two-fingers-in-the-mouth style “hey you kids break it up there and get off my lawn” whistles on the S’s. Yow. Does he need to have his dentures refitted?

  55. Anita Cocktail says at 7:11 pm, September 30th, 2008

    WWJGD: it’s the loofah.

  56. Now, let’s cut Johnny-mac some slack on the whole Spain=enemy stuff. Remember, Spain was once overrun by Muslims! McCain was there!!

    grendel: Really? Does Viagra make hemorrhoids stiff too?
