HAHAHAHHAHA HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND

Well If ‘Famous Person’ Said So, Then Maybe We Should Reconsider

Yeah… so who’s running the Thursday night copy desk for digital advertising over at McCain central? This is two Friday mornings in a row, CAN YOU PEOPLE PROOFREAD? McCain should fire this slouch and replace him with Andrew Cuomo. [Mollygood]

    Looking at what http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ had to say today about the McCain ground game, they probably assume if they fire this person, they won’t be able to fill the position…

  3. Outstando says at 5:46 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    I thought they hated famous people.

  4. SayItWithWookies says at 5:47 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Aren’t you familiar with Famous Person? He’s related to Area Man.

    Mr. Famous Q. Person regrets you have not heard of him.

    Isn’t Famous Persón related to Manual Labór?

  10. wildeoats says at 5:50 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Ahh, it’s just Peggy Noonan. Should have said “Person Famous When Dinosaurs Roamed The Earth”

    Because they gave me a real zinger for the debate where I say, “Say it ain’t so Joe.”
    See, isn’t that great? So, can I call you Joe?

  16. populucious says at 5:53 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Peggy, what the fuck?

  19. StrangelyBrown says at 5:55 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    McCain is just embarrassed to admit that the only person in America who respected and admired Sarah Palin’s performance was Paris Hilton.

  20. Vanity Smurf says at 5:56 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Our covert operative scores again. Well played, saboteur.

  21. gurukalehuru says at 5:56 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    If McCain wins, the guy that keeps screwing up with these ads gets to be head of FEMA.

  23. I would like to take this moment to personally thank the undercover mole who is inside the McCain campaign secretly screwing things up. No campaign could really be this jacked up. So to you sir or madam, thank you, your work is deeply appreciated.

  24. Vanity Smurf says at 5:57 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Keram2: Peggy Noonan may be America’s Bullshitter, but she’s not exactly what I’d call famous. Doris Kearns Goodwin, America’s Plagerist, is more of household name even.

  25. It was intended to say “Whoopi Goldberg”

  26. Kev-O-Tron says at 5:59 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    In my suburban, white flight hometown I had the honor of knowing the Person family. They attended my church (before I became a Satan worshipping bisexual alcoholic). Family members were Rich, Jolly, and Mary. I shit you not.

    Perhaps this is their eldest son Famous?

  27. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:00 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Keram2: Yeah, the same Peggy who said the Bible Spice pick was ‘bullshit’ on an open mic. Hypocrite, much?

  28. Kev-O-Tron:

    Did you know their cousin “Ima” and their newphew “Halfa”

  29. Dave J. says at 6:01 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Scarab: LOLZ when the undercover mole screwing up the McCain campaign turns out to be…McCain.

  30. The Helvetica Scenario says at 6:01 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Peggy Noonan answered a craigslist ad I think;

    Wanted: famous person to say “She killed. It was her evening. She was the star.” Advertisement is already mocked up, will deliver payment to your account after spoken on national television.

  31. tunamelt says at 6:05 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Dave J.: He is really pissed they wouldn’t let him pick Lieberman, ain’t he?

  32. President Beeblebrox says at 6:07 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    McCampaign just can’t get it right, can they? If Hopey manages to pull this one off, a lot it it will be because his campaign understands how to use teh interwebs. Hell, Hopey’s website is like one big Barry-centric Facebook.

    In typical Republican style, McCampaign seems to think teh interwebs is a series of tubes…

  33. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:07 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    The Helvetica Scenario: Gary Coleman would definitely take the gig.

  39. Famous could be the mother of Chuck

    Or maybe they got the biggest Celebrity HERE to think Sarah rocked.

    Of Course, it could be someone from THIS GROUP

    Or maybe this JAZZ MUSICIAN thinks she is hot….

    Or maybe it is THIS GUY, he has a blog, so he MUST be famous!!

  40. Sister Truth
    I think Sarah learned English grammar from president dubya.

    wildeoats: FreshCliches: Yes, I saw that ad earlier today attributing it to her royal wordsmityhyness, Peggy Noonan. Sounds totally like her too, here’s the full quote they excerpted:

  53. JohnnyMeatworth says at 6:46 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    and the famous person who said that was…John McCain

  54. Obviously Hopey has some deep cover agents in the McSame campaign offices who are making key blunders now and then. There is no other explanation for this level of incompetence.

  55. WASHINGTON — Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, was arrested today after a witness accused her of homicide. “She killed!” said the witness, identified only as Famous Person. Detectives said the anonymous source came forth in a political advertisement. Although the name of the victim was unclear, other anonymous sources have told other Internet sites that an Alaskan state trooper is missing.

  56. “Famous Person” = “Wonkette is Gay”

    -George Bush

    “I’ve read about foreign policy and studied, I now know the number of continents.”

    If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very low crime rate.
    – Marion Barry, mayor of D.C.

  58. President Beeblebrox: McCain recently read George Orwell’s 1984.. (and Sarah watched the movie, since she is too busy reading all of them thar newspapers).

    Newspeak is back!

  59. Famous Person says at 7:21 pm, October 3rd, 2008

  63. Other Famous Person says at 7:26 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Famous Person: I agree.

  64. Vanity Smurf: Holy shit. I never realized that Doris plagiarized stuff. That explains why she got put out to pasture as a commentator on the Charlie Rose show. OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN.

  65. facehead: He IS the bad guy.. to them.. he works for ‘the media’, doesn’t he?? And Johnny-Mac just about cums when he reads about the rat heading for Smith’s nose. Then goes immediately flaccid when Smith confesses…

  66. Hunter Gathers says at 7:30 pm, October 3rd, 2008

  70. Will E. Wonker says at 7:45 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    While I was sitting in my office today, the resident Republicrit stopped by the door to turn around and say “There is a pal in Palin.” I just about heaved, but quickly thought I can play the word game too. Let’s drop the L out of Palin and add essence of Walnuts and we get McPain.

    My 94 year old grandmother in Florida was a southern Democrat all her life until her rich friends across the street convinced her to vote otherwise the last couple of cycles. I called her on Barack, and she promised to do what I asked. The selling point was that she had seen the Palins on teevee and said, “I would not have those people in my house, much less vote for them.” Thank you Southern Grandma. (Ma Pearl).

  79. wheelie says at 8:23 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Famous Person: Lovely!

  80. smellyal8r says at 8:27 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    No, I think that’s Sarah Palin’s quote. She’s a famous person now. See, she wasn’t famous before, but now she is, because youbetcha she knows every one of the Sixpaks and now she’s famous. Can I call you Joe? “Sure. Can I call you Tina?”

  81. Kinbote says at 8:29 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    WhatTheHeck: All I saw, ere Wasilla.

  82. Texan Bulldoggette says at 8:37 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Slightly OT but why is Charles Krauthammer so damn ugly? (Sorry no punchline–just making an observation).

  83. The Helvetica Scenario says at 8:40 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    And now, Palin goes back into confinement.

  84. DoctorCulturae says at 8:44 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Here’s the ad I wanna see:

    “Sarah II:” Dubya dressed up as a woman, wearing a wig doing teh sexy winking, defiantly not answering questions, and mouthing folksy witticisms obnoxiously. Okay, that was the last 8 years, but I wanna see this with Dub’s head on some sexy bod saying it, getting all cutsy-cutsy. Dialogue could mix “WMD, mavericks, Mission Accomplished, In what regard Charlie” etc.

  85. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:52 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    …please tell me that I wasn’t the only one watching Keith Olbermans “Worst Person in the World” right now!?!?!?!?! If you didn’t see it, I suggest catching the 11 o’clock showing its a classic.

  91. Worlds End says at 9:07 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    did you see the biden palin mash up

  92. AngryBlakGuy says at 9:20 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Worlds End: …yesh, very funny. But I thought the “W”/Palin mash-up was better. In fact I thought it was 527 worthy.

  93. iolanthe says at 9:22 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: I know. Krauthammer has a permanent sneer of disdain etched upon what passes for his face. He makes William F. Buckley look like a down-home man of the people by comparison. Can’t you just see him in some 18th Century French Court, wearing a long curly black wig down to his ass, satin leggings and hose, and high-heeled shoes with little bows?

  94. Famous Person was later seen at a downtown tavern, sharing a chardonnay with Joe Six-Pack.

    tsunami: No way, Tucker Bounds is too scared he’d be beat up by a woman (again). And yeah, I’ll agree with your assessment of Charles K.

    Also on ABC their having a ‘portrait of the presidents’ & they just talked about Cindy’s pill popping stage. Next up, Wright for Barry–seriously. So they are equating something Cindy actually did with something that Barry’s pastor did–ergo Barry did.

    I can’t keep it all straight, although granted I’ve had some beers tonight.

    j6n: impressive…where did you find it? i’ll admit i almost missed the snark at first. i would love to write an order like that for court.

  109. President Beeblebrox says at 10:44 pm, October 3rd, 2008

    j6n: Unfortunately, it’s not a court order, just the Alaska Legislative Council’s opposition to the attempt of the wingnut state legislators, backed by James Dobson and his cronies, to shut down Troopergate. But, the Alaska Superior Court rejected that attempt, meaning that unless the Alaska Supremes shut it down, Caribou Barbie and Ken will have to testify in the next couple of weeks.

    This could end up being an unplanned October Surprise.

  110. sweetits: Alaska Daily News. That judge was having a lot of fun with that one. It’s not every day you get to hand someone their ass like that.

    CivicHoliday: Hahahaha…Olbermann said the M word ! That was good.

  115. President Beeblebrox: Yeah, sorry. That was the Defendant’s motion to dismiss. Still entertaining though. I think that the investigator is going to release his report next Friday, with or without the testimony of the individuals who suddenly stopped cooperating when McCain’s lawyers hit the ground.

    — “[Social Darwinian, Mister Justice] Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously [quoi?] said of [radical muslim Marxist] Franklin Roosevelt that he had a “second-class intellect [compared to little moi, sayeth the Justicia Holmes], but a first-class temperament [so, fuck him, … and this has nothing to do with that lesbo-loving Roosevelt trying to get me to retire from the Supreme Court at age 90, mere decades after my losing control of my bulging bladder, Holmes said:]. Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience [he has never seen the Cossacks of Imperial Russia from his front porch], questionable convictions [he supports the abolition of serfdom], deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko, [Hitler, Stalin, Torquemada, Jombee, and the Care Bears]) and an alarming lack of self-definition [unlike me, a Canadian]– do you really know who he is [Neil Bush?] and what he believes [in] [lem-mee guess: no more prepositions, free tiny kittens to the needy, and every day shall be double-coupon day at the hobo soup kitchen for the middle class]? Nonetheless, he’s got both a first-class intellect [ahem, for, you know, whatever] and a first-class temperament [for a baby-killing, Islamo terrorist].

  121. It’s NOT an individual, it’s a WHOLE FUCKIN’ COUNTY!!!

    Of course, the right wingers won’t be too happy, since this used to be MAN County until they gave into political correctness!

    My theory: McCain is trying to fuck up as much as possible in order to appeal to the wingnut “base.” It has certainly been a winning strategy for Georgie these last eight years.

    McCain-Palin 2008: Incompetence First

  123. PentagonBookkeeper says at 2:08 am, October 4th, 2008

    “Famous Person” is so 10 days ago. When Bush spoke at the U.N. on 9-23-08, he used a creepy, odd expression: “human person”.

    “Advancing the vision of freedom serves our highest ideals, as expressed in the U.N.’s Charter’s commitment to “the dignity and worth of the human person.” Advancing this vision also serves our security interests. History shows that when citizens have a voice in choosing their own leaders, they are less likely to search for meaning in radical ideologies. And when governments respect the rights of their people, they’re more likely to respect the rights of their neighbors.”

    Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise, that was Bush’s last dog and pony show at the U.N. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/09/20080923-5.html

    Ha, remember way back when you could post comments about ‘McCain Gear’ or whatever the hell it was called? (Excellency in internet savvy award goes to John ‘Pebkac’ McCain and helpful but annoying buddy ‘Tools’ Maverick, Web Designer)..

    “Famous Person” is Larry Craig’s chatroom moniker.

  126. Hey, but that’s one step up from ‘anonymous’. Or is it a step down? Dunno.

    No, that’s his name: “Famous Person”.

    He’s an Irish Dane.

    Palin: “Maverick, maverick, maverick, maverick.”
    McCain is a maverick–a wild animal that has one tenth the intelligence of a human and shits where ever it chooses. Palin is not quite a maverick, but she could be the southern end of a north bound one.

    Woo Hoo! Sarah Palin!!!

    I Love her, the little Mother Fucker!

    Them Hollywood celebrities don’t deserve to be credited.

    As a Formerly Famous Person, I have to agree with my colleagues, Seemingly Familiar Author and Someone Whose Name Rings A Bell (the ones who write blurbs for the dust cover of self-published novels): This is a campaign not to be missed! A fresh twist on Old Ideas! A Maverick’s View Point tied to Time Honored Truths!

    Charles Krauthammer looks like a drunk, angry leprechaun you would not want around your children.

  135. The McCain campaign found their “famous” (actually, semi-famous) person to say “she killed” - wasn’t this attributed to Peggy Noonan after she got caught on a live mike sayig “it’ over” after Palin opened her big mouth? The phrase is oh, so, flexible, because Bible Spice kills me, too, but not in the way the Repugs would like to think.
