Life's a cunt!
Let this mark the first time in American History that Wonkette used the exact real-world news headline as the funny comedy news headline. Thanks to Wonkette Operative “Facehead” for the find. [CNN Wire]

AND YENNO WHAT, I’M TELLING MY MOM!

Delicious October 2, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Loser.

Advocatus_Diaboli October 2, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Good to Walnuts finally facing reality.

SelfDeprecatingFed October 2, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Let me get this straight. You get tortured for five and a half years, but losing an election is what prompts you to complain about life? Priorities Mr. Nuts… Priorities.

ShortShadey October 2, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Funny, that’s exactly the same thing Palin says to pregnant raped women.

Texan Bulldoggette October 2, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Dang Walnuts, you need some Palin Syrah wine to go with that whine.

Bostoprov October 2, 2008 at 3:11 pm

“Get off my lawn,” mumbled McNuts, furtively.

tonashideska October 2, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Please let me know when CNN has this on a T-shirt.

SayItWithWookies October 2, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Yeah, if life was fair, he wouldn’t be saddled with a witless moose sniper who thinks living 600 miles away from Russia is a foreign policy credential. Oh, wait.

tunamelt October 2, 2008 at 3:12 pm

And people say that my generation suffers from entitlement.

facehead October 2, 2008 at 3:12 pm

Today we are all faceheads.

sezme October 2, 2008 at 3:12 pm

Walnuts! That quote should turn things around for the campaign.

sarahconnor October 2, 2008 at 3:12 pm

Does this mean we are winning the war now? Hooray!

tunamelt October 2, 2008 at 3:13 pm

[re=118680]tonashideska[/re]: YES.

SelfDeprecatingFed October 2, 2008 at 3:13 pm

[re=118681]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Now now now… He did that to himself

Cogito Ergo Bibo October 2, 2008 at 3:13 pm

“I suffered five and a half years to tank this campaign! Why don’t you wuv me? I haz a sad.”

Hairy Reed October 2, 2008 at 3:13 pm

Nice find, Facehead

mikey mike October 2, 2008 at 3:14 pm

That’s right. Life isn’t fair to the guy who owns 12 houses, has a bazillion dollars and left his crippled first wife for a younger, hotter, richer version.

I’m unemployed and can barely afford rent. Fuck you, McCain.

Tra October 2, 2008 at 3:14 pm

“Obama lead continues to grow after McCain spends entire debate mumbling “I coulda been a contender.”

dano October 2, 2008 at 3:14 pm

[re=118671]ShortShadey[/re]: That’s funny as hell. Also a little sad.

shortsshortsshorts October 2, 2008 at 3:14 pm

MAVERICK is so MAVERICK he doesn’t want to be elected at all, by anyone, ever. WHAT A MAVERICK!

facehead October 2, 2008 at 3:15 pm

It would be even funnier if the Onion bought the story from cnn and put it in their paper word for word.

Hairy Reed October 2, 2008 at 3:15 pm

PS when does the economy get bad enough that I can steal a jalopy and do this?

dano October 2, 2008 at 3:16 pm

If life was fair the U.S. Government would get paid back for all those wrecked airplane you Jackass!

larz October 2, 2008 at 3:16 pm

How Tina Fey of you.

tunamelt October 2, 2008 at 3:16 pm

[re=118700]facehead[/re]: someone call the onion.

Gopherit v2.0 October 2, 2008 at 3:17 pm

[re=118681]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Laughed out loud. Glad my officemates aren’t here.

Witless moose sniper. Heh.

Aurelio October 2, 2008 at 3:17 pm

From the article: “[Obama]certainly did nothing for the first few days,” McCain said Thursday on Fox News. “I suspended my campaign, took our ads down, came back to Washington, met with the House folks and got on the phone, and also had face-to-face meetings.”

Right, Walnuts. You went in and fucked things up. In a fair world, all the fuck-ups would be rewarded. What went wrong? Is there no justice?

Tommy Says Soooo October 2, 2008 at 3:17 pm

[re=118685]facehead[/re]: Epic win. Today I salute you.

ManchuCandidate October 2, 2008 at 3:17 pm

I’m sure the guy who McCain bumped from US Navy flight school (it is very odd to say the least when a ass end grad gets a flight school slot) feels the same way.

Gopherit v2.0 October 2, 2008 at 3:18 pm

Walnuts is right. Life isn’t fair. Where’s my goddamn beer heiress!!!

Tommy Says Soooo October 2, 2008 at 3:18 pm

I hope Harvey Weinstein gets Roberto Benigni to play Walnuts in the title role.

obfuscator October 2, 2008 at 3:18 pm

“Senator McCain then commented on the relative toughness of titties & noogies, after which campaign advisor Mark Salter went on to describe on the manner in which cookies crumbled.”

Gopherit v2.0 October 2, 2008 at 3:19 pm

If he only had a beer to cry into….alas, he only has budweiser.

Gopherit v2.0 October 2, 2008 at 3:21 pm

And if McBitter want’s to see how unfair life can be, he should watch the shredding of his running mate tonight. It would be more kind to just throw her in a wood chipper.

dano October 2, 2008 at 3:21 pm

I hear ya Walnuts. If life was fair my four Aces wouldn’t have lost to that fucking straight flush two weeks ago. (in this metaphor Obama is the straight flush)

Nanks October 2, 2008 at 3:22 pm

Cue the world’s smallest violin! Cry me a river! Boo-hoo! Somebody call a waaah-mbulance! GIVE ME A BREAK!

schnooten October 2, 2008 at 3:23 pm

[re=118680]tonashideska[/re]: It’d be like “Shit Happens… to WALNUTS!!”

freakishlystrong October 2, 2008 at 3:23 pm

Yeah well, lucky for us, WALNUTS!, life isn’t too long either…

Servo October 2, 2008 at 3:23 pm

For McCorpse, trying to win voters in Michigan would be like trying to ask patients at Walter Reed to re-enlist.

Doglessliberal October 2, 2008 at 3:23 pm

My husband’s response to this headline: “maybe he did have a stroke”.

Doglessliberal October 2, 2008 at 3:24 pm

[re=118709]Aurelio[/re]: right, and he suspended his campaign by giving interviews and making blatantly partisan comments. What a hypocritical, lying twit.

american mutt October 2, 2008 at 3:24 pm

Life has been known to have a liberal bias.

Serolf Divad October 2, 2008 at 3:24 pm

When he loses the election McCain will explain it by noting that “shit happens.”

soymocha October 2, 2008 at 3:25 pm

Why not just yell, “The black kid gave me a wedgie!” and be done w/ it?

Monkey October 2, 2008 at 3:25 pm

McCain needs his blankey and teddy.

ihasasad October 2, 2008 at 3:27 pm

Where’s his fucked up I-sued-my-first-daughter-in-law-and-then-lied-on-the-bible-about-it momma? Maybe he needs to go put his head in her lap and quit whining all over the airwaves. cocksucker

Life’s Been Bad
John McCain (Joe Walsh)

I have some mansions, forgot to count
Ain’t never been there, they tell me it’s nice
I live with a trollop, drugged out all the time
I have accountants pay for it all

They say I’m crazy but I have a mad time
I’m just looking to blame at the scene of the crash
Life’s been unfair to me so far

My SUV costs one-eighty-five
I lost my Skyhawk, now I don’t fly
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I’m attacked

I tell fake stories, my supporters can’t wait
They write me letters, tell me I’m great
So I got me an office, VC skulls on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I’ll call

Lucky I’m insane after all I’ve been through
(Everybody say “I’m mad”……”He’s mad”)
I can’t complain but sometimes I still do
Life’s been unfair to me so far

I go to parties, sometimes until four
It’s hard to leave when you making them ribs
It’s tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody’s so different, I haven’t changed

They say I’m senile but it takes all my time
(Everybody say “Oh, yeah”….. “Oh, yeah”)
I keep on goin’ guess I’ll never know why
Life’s been unfair to me so far

tunamelt October 2, 2008 at 3:30 pm

[re=118733]Doglessliberal[/re]: It’s beginning to seem like the only logical conclusion.

superfecta October 2, 2008 at 3:30 pm

[re=118718]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: True dat.

american mutt October 2, 2008 at 3:31 pm

Barry: HOPE.
McCain: Life isn’t fair. Here’s a cookie. I ate it.

[re=118766]american mutt[/re]: Win.ner.

Cogito Ergo Bibo October 2, 2008 at 3:32 pm

Somehow, I imagine him watching the VP debate all by himself somewhere. Drinking something other than the “goddamned Budweiser that bitch wife of [his] makes [him] drink,” throwing stress squeezee balls at the screen and mumbling incoherently to himself about how no one in this country knows how to treat fucking hero.

NoStyleHere October 2, 2008 at 3:33 pm

“He certainly did nothing for the first few days,” McCain said Thursday on Fox News. “I called up more troops for a Michigan surge, readied the Unicorn Extermination Team, and called my wife a cunt. Repeatedly. Meanwhile Obama stole my lead. Life isn’t just unfair, it’s UNAMERICAN.” After a brief pause for blinking and twitching McCain added, “Kathleen Parker is cunt, too.”

Cogito Ergo Bibo October 2, 2008 at 3:34 pm

[re=118733]Doglessliberal[/re]: You know, couple this with this morning’s incoherent rambling on Morning Joe, and you might have a point. It honestly could be a medical condition.

obfuscator October 2, 2008 at 3:34 pm

Life is in the tank for Obama?

Voyou Charmant October 2, 2008 at 3:36 pm

[re=118680]tonashideska[/re]: yes plz.

Miller October 2, 2008 at 3:42 pm

I think McCain needs to make it clearer to the American people that he is owed the Presidency as a result of his service. If he put it like that, they’d probably want to vote for him more.

http://thesebastards.blogspot.com/

picardia October 2, 2008 at 3:49 pm

In all seriousness, I think John McCain essentially sold his soul in 2004, agreeing to stand beside torture-fan George W. Bush in the election, b/c GOP higher-ups told him if he did so, the next go-round would be his. Now he is facing the fact that he sold his soul to lose hard. You’d be bitter too.

Doglessliberal October 2, 2008 at 3:53 pm

[re=118777]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: [re=118757]tunamelt[/re]: That’s what I told my husband–that I think he is right. Let’s hope McNastypants stays alive, but slightly off center through the election so people see more and more odd behavior from him. He cannot die or become incapacited before then or we could end up with Pres. Mittens or something like that

dkissam October 2, 2008 at 4:03 pm

Wait.

Obama’s poll numbers are rising as the economy as sinking, and it’s the former rather than the latter that sends McCain into a sulk? Life isn’t fair *because you’re getting beaten*, not because other people are losing their homes and jobs?

fenster1977 October 2, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Damn. Phil Gramm was right…there is alot of whining going on.

Remember, folks: life owed McCain the presidency. Just keep that in mind.

kloew October 2, 2008 at 4:33 pm

McCain is crazy, spoiled and childish. I know that’s obvious to most of us, but not all. Spread the word in swing states.

[re=118779]obfuscator[/re]: Yes, and Mikey is in the tank for Obama, too, because although Mikey hates EVERYTHING, Mikey actually likes Life cereal.

NotthatLC October 2, 2008 at 4:48 pm

The press is SO over him. Keep bringing on the the Yummy political crack! More of McCain publicly imploding, please!

populucious October 2, 2008 at 4:56 pm

I remember when my pappy, Admiral General Farnsworth McCain, used to take me out in the backyard for some waterboarding…they didn’t call it waterboarding in those days, they called it watering the lawn…and, I was a kid you know, had a immature way of looking at things, and I would look up at him, choking and spitting our water, and say “Other kids get to have paddle pools in their backyard, it’s not Fair”, and he would say “Goddamn it you p*ssy! I don’t care if you are 4 years old! Life’s Not Fair! Now go sit in the box!”

So, you know, that’s when I learned…that’s what I told Cindy when she brought home the two lil Bangaloredeshy kids…”I said Cindy, you can keep them both if you can name all of your other children.” and she said “But Johnny, That’s not FAIR”, and I sprayed her with the hose and said “Fair shmare! Leave the other one on the plane!”

So that’s why I’m losing right now…not enough waterboarding of young children…to much backtalk from the wife…is any of it Fair? F*ck no, but the American people are p*ssies and what can you do?

Speaking of WALNUTS, why haven’t our editors reported about his alleged affair with funny looking boob?
