THE END OF EVERYTHING

October 15, 2008

Liveblogging the End of Everything, Part V

by Ken Layne  

AGHGHGHThank you for staying with Wonkette for our special sexy late-night post-debate fun! John McCain and Cindy McCain have left the building! Barack and Michelle are, as usual, still there. Are they? Hey, C-SPAN, could you zoom in? Here is Part I, and Part II, and Part III, and Part IV. (Oh and Sara started another Part V, which is here, and now she has stomped off to bed.) Did you know the ACORNS will destroy your fabric? Please keep your fabric clean, and let’s please keep bums from making money trying to register voters, and let’s, uh, move on, to the deal. GO RALPH NADER.

10:37 PM — First call on C-SPAN: “How could Senator McCain say he is a patriot when all of us on some ship in …. Israel … killed us??” WTF.
10:38 PM — ZOOM IN.
10:41 PM — And now everybody is gone, and the Soviet C-SPAN cameras could not show whatever Barry and Mrs. O were doing, because that would prove all forms of audio-visual equipment are In The Tank. Let’s go to the cable news now.
10:41 PM — Hey there’s Mrs. Alan Greenspan, who CAUSED OUR NEW DEPRESSION, while he played the skin flute. Why won’t you retire, Andrea Mitchell?
10:43 PM — Chris Matthews has shed John McCain’s gay purple sweater, and now has a suit, and David Gregory is ready to dance like a fool.
10:43 PM — Hey, Wonkette buddies, thanks for hanging around for two years while we all laughed and cried at this wonderful/terrible nightmare from Hell. Oh lord, Newell is now playing video games.
10:46 PM — Sexy Soledad with her Squigglies, what did the Ohio Bitters think?
10:46 PM — “I’ll tell ya, after 30 minutes, those …. did John McCain win the debate?”
10:46 PM — There are 10 Ohio Bitters who say McCain won the debate.
10:47 PM — And 15 of these squiggly people say Barack Obama won the debate.
10:47 PM — Let’s talk about this Bill Ayers stuff.
10:47 PM — A cute McCain Republican gal says the Ayers BS meant McCain had nothing.
10:48 PM — JOE THE PLUMBER. Did anyone notice how McCain kept saying “Joe the Plumber” and then Obama had to say “Joe the Plumber” and then both of them were saying, “Hey Joe.”

10:50 PM — So, uh, a few Ohio bitter undecideds say … well, everything the National Political Media is talking about today is, well, of no interest. Bunch of dumb shit, not relevant.
10:51 PM — Let’s switch to MSNBC.
10:51 PM — More Joe the Plumber! Egh.
10:51 PM — This one guy thinks Obama was a little off, and the McCain had a problem with “tone.”
10:56 PM — HILLARY is on the CNN. She is, uh, advocating, for the “Democratic president.”
10:58 PM — Hillary actually looks good, and sane. But she has all of Arizona around her neck, in the form of Turquoise and some other Desert Stones.
11:00 PM — Hillary Clinton will be the new LBJ, in the Senate, and Obama will be the new JFK, and … oh fuck.
11:01 PM — Actually, we might probably expect Hillary Clinton to run … the United Nations! Hey, it is in New York.
11:02 PM — Here are the polls, from Campbell “Soup” Brown, and we love her, and Obama won 58% to 31%.
11:09 PM — Um, people are talking. Hey it is Rachel Maddow! We heart her.
11:11 PM — Rachel, re: Bill/ACORN, says, “The true believers, the tiny minority of Americans who approaches the election this way, maybe felt like they got a little ….”
11:12 PM — “They neutralized the whole Ayers issue, and it’s over now.”
11:13 PM — Olbermann: “Why did McCain laughably lie about everything, including the planetarium for kids, for education?”
11:13 PM — Maddow says, basically, let the loser go with the bullshit, and make the calculation, and move on.
11:14 PM — Fox News focus group says Clear Majority says Obama Wins.
11:15 PM — Interesting Maddow point: McCain looked more like he doesn’t want Obama to be president than that he himself wants to be president.
11:21 PM — Ugh, watching the McCain clips again, so much blinking! Angry blinking. Blink Blink Blink. (Blinking means you are telling lies.)
11:48 PM — 51% “not at all” concerned about what’s his name, Ayers, the Reagan School Board Republican. What was it, 14% “very concerned”? Well, who might those people already be voting for?
11:51 PM — Who attacked more, CNN poll people? 80% McCain, 7% Obama.
11:52 PM — Oh lord, McCain didn’t mention the “Middle Class” once tonight, again! Rick Davis could just write it on his hand, right?
11:53 PM — Campbell Brown is just out-sexying everyone by one million percent. See that high-heeled foot and ankle and leg bouncing out from the Pundit Desk? That is Campbell Brown.
11:54 PM — Candy Crowley, our favorite CNN political reporter ever, mentions that Bob Dole at least came up with some dumb stunt in 1996 to amuse the press corps.
11:56 PM — Soon, there will be nothing left of Dana Bash save for her eyes.
11:57 PM — Let’s watch some Fox News Channel for a while, because that is always fun!
11:57 PM — Oh, Barack just sent your editor another text message. The deadline for registering to vote in California is NOW, so make your people register, if they are not registered.
11:59 PM — Fox is showing the “Terrorist, Kill Him!” part. What, uh, are they … oh who knows.
00:00:00:00 — Oh here is the video, where McCain is “not gonna stand” for … uh, the shit he does.
12:02 AM — Greta wants to know, what will happen, and how are the viewers in the tank so much, Jonathan Martin says … ah who cares.
12:04 AM — Greta: “I’m a reasonably smart person, I have a degree in economics.” Well, that last part is maybe true.
12:05 AM — But what does Mike Huckabee think, about stuff? “Joe the Plumber will be the hottest person in America.” That is actually very, very unlikely, that “Joe the Plumber” will be hot, or famous, or anything. It was just some guy that McCain spoke to, and now Huckabee is speaking about … bowling scores, and how McCain didn’t have the bowling scores.
12:07 AM — Huckabee: “I thought McCain stayed in the shallow end of the pool when he should have gone deep.”
12:16 AM — Ha, via Andrew Sullivan:

CNN has so many talking heads the camera guys are bumping into each other and can’t get a decent shot. When the economy decides to totally take a shit, at least all of us unemployed Joe the plumbers will be able to get great new jobs at CNN as on-air talent.

I don’t know how I would have survived these last two terrible years without Wonkette.

But what oh what will we do if the Dems actually win?? I can’t see them being remotely as fun to make fun of as what we’ve endured . . .

What about Josephine The Lady Plumber? Sexisit Pigs! Josephine the Plumber – TVs favorite plumber was Josephine, the mascot and spokesperson for Comet Cleanser. Played by veteran actress Jane Withers, Josephine the plumber dressed in white workers overalls and freely gave advice to her customers on the best way to get stubborn stains from sinks and tubs. Of course, her recommended product was “Comet Cleanser.” Comet is a tough cleanser with a no-scratch formula. It can be used on porcelain, stainless steel and fiberglass safely and it kills germs like Staph, Salmonella and Pseudomonas. And because Comet contains bleach it is ideal for cleaning toilets, sinks and tubs. Wow! no wonder Josephine likes this stuff. In 2001 Procter & Gamble Company sold their Comet Cleanser product line to Prestige Brands International.

He cares more about John Lewis than Joe the Plumber. By the way, John Lewis will never apologize!!! Never!!! As far as he’s concerned, he kept Barack from being killed by Sarah Palin’s moose gun.

McCain, a “grown man” running for president – ostensibly possessed of some modicum of self respect , had to sit there and pretend to believe that Hopey is a terrorist just to please his psycho “base” out in tv land. Hard to see the old guy so degrade himself.

Crab1 October 15, 2008 at 11:27 pm

Now look people-We cannot start rubbing our superiority in the faces of all those uneducated toothless rednecks who loved W for 8 years. If we act like we deserve to act then we will be right back where we are today in 2024 when Palin (or someone who is somehow more ignorant) is finishing up their 8 year abortion of a presidency. So, every 6 months or so, we should enact some asinine yet banal legislation that will keep the anti-intellectual Christian jihadis from shitting their cages. We can start with a ban on Santa at Christmas because Jesus is the reason for the season. Then we could saber rattle for war in some country that ends in -stan and say it is in the middle east. When we do this be sure to knowingly wink at each other. This way, the adults can do all the important grown up work and the children can be distracted by their new favorite toy. Hopefully, the kids will grow up one day.

blader October 15, 2008 at 11:27 pm

fox really is an alternate universe

That weird really rich guy who ran for preznit but lost to that arkansas yokel, the one that looks like Rudolf Hess, was commentatorting that McGrommits won the debate in a landslide and everybody in the world is going to vote for him, thank god.

it’s like those fuckers don’t even breath air

Undeterredbyreality October 15, 2008 at 11:32 pm

Best line of the debate: on the question of Palin’s qualifications, Hopey said she brought enthusiasm to the base–then corrected himself and said “a base” of the republican party.

Damn I love subtlety.

And yes, I concur with those who suspect Hillary of Botox/plastic surgery–that would explain her absence from the campaign until recently–and I concur with those who thank Wonkette for providing this forum for all us miscreants who support peace love & understanding.

I was just fap-fap-fapping to Campbell Brown. But right when I was about to finish the camera switched over to Lou Dobbs. So I basically came all over Lou Dobbs face.

My mom calls Rick Davis “Baboon Ass Face,” which makes laugh.

Why’s everyone so in the tank for Campbell Brown? Not showing any sex love for Greta, gentlemen?

Ok, well, my plumber is a fucking millionaire – two grand to put a bathtub in – took about 4 hours… Joe can suck it. Hard.

I’m a teacher, Walnuts and I worked my ass off to pass my certifications. Please, belittle my profession more by handing the classroom over to your exhausted troops. Better yet, let’s hand ‘em stethoscopes and fix the Dr. shortage in Ohio. Fuck You, McCain. Pick one of your many cars, drive to one of your many houses and stay there.

My friends, I feel as though I have been a part of something bigger than all of us tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to work…afterwards, I’ll knock on 30 more doors for our guy Hopey…back to normal life, in other words.

But tonight, I have been a small drunken splash in an overwhelming sea of snark. I salute you, my fellow Wonketeers. Cuntry first.

And to Jim, Sara, Ken…
Turn off the damn TV and video games.

How are we supposed to change our culture if you disgusting fatbodies don’t get the jelly donuts out of your footlockers?

Godspeed, Wonkette.

Bon Soir.

McCain had botox injections.

Even botox couldn’t paralyze his angry face.

LauraJune October 16, 2008 at 12:30 am

So Valleywag has a picture of someone they SAY is Alex Castellanos checking Facebook during the debate. Evidence, however, totally points to it being Toobin. Meaning, the photo is of Toobin.

There are a great many, great post, so maybe I missed someone else noting this but: why does Walnuts take notes with a fucking Sharpie?

S.Luggo October 16, 2008 at 1:38 am

Joe the Plumber, our new overlord. But I still won’t pay his attrocious bill. I’d rather take a steamy dump on the front lawn of one of McNugget’s seven estates.
My favorite movie is Red Dawn. Get my message, Joe?

Rachel Maddow:

Watching McCain argue is like watching a random-orbital sander at work. Trade! Colombia! You haven’t traveled right! Hostages! Ta-daa! What are we talking about again?

so sorry all…I had special bonus word COCKAMAYMEE in drinking game. All your acorns belong to me.

[re=136739]Undeterredbyreality[/re]: I heard that too, about “the base.” None of those base Palin supporters will get it, haw.

I kept thinking of that David Bowie track “Joe the Lion”:
Joe the Plumber
went into the bar
a couple of drinks and he’ll tell you who you are…

So he can see what the hell he’s scrawling without having to wear reading glasses which would make him look a lot, lot more like the fucking old coot he is.

Haven’t seen the “Joe the plumber” meets “Barak the candidate” video posted here yet…

Thought it was a pretty good question (and a good answer). Maybe Joe should moderate the next debate?

protpisys October 16, 2008 at 8:33 am

Did anyone else hear McBush intro Failin’ Palin as a, and I’m pretty sure I’m quoting here, “…a breast of fresh air…”

mobile-home-refush October 16, 2008 at 4:01 pm

THIS is the only qualifications for being “one heartbeat away from being The Leader of the Free World” that walnuts could come up with. We r sooo screwed!!!!Well, Americans have gotten to know Sarah Palin. They know that she’s a role model to women and other — and reformers all over America.

She’s a reformer. She is — she took on a governor who was a member of her own party when she ran for governor. When she was the head of their energy and natural resources board, she saw corruption, she resigned and said, “This can’t go on.”

She’s given money back to the taxpayers. She’s cut the size of government. She negotiated with the oil companies and faced them down, a $40 billion pipeline of natural gas that’s going to relieve the energy needs of the United — of what they call the lower 48.

She’s a reformer through and through. And it’s time we had that bresh of freth air (sic) — breath of fresh air coming into our nation’s capital and sweep out the old-boy network and the cronyism that’s been so much a part of it that I’ve fought against for all these years.

She’ll be my partner. She understands reform. And, by the way, she also understands special-needs families. She understands that autism is on the rise, that we’ve got to find out what’s causing it, and we’ve got to reach out to these families, and help them, and give them the help they need as they raise these very special needs children.

She understands that better than almost any American that I know. I’m proud of her.

And she has ignited our party and people all over America that have never been involved in the political process. And I can’t tell how proud I am of her and her family.

Her husband’s a pretty tough guy, by the way, too.

mobile-home-refush October 16, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Palin 4 president!!!! She has a tough husband……someone has a mancrush

tiger October 16, 2008 at 4:15 pm

What a pussbag. Hey, Joe, as a plumber, you are one more OVERPAID “professional”…get a life, pay your taxes like EVERYONE ELSE and SHUT IT. And Joe, were you planning on hiring any illegals, or do you already employ some to…you know, not pay taxes?
Spoiled American douchetip.
