Here’s your new Obama Campaign spot, and it’s got so much bug-eyed weirdness and nervous blinking from McCain! Also, serious policy stuff, what with how Walnuts is always loving Bush Junior. [Gawker]

How can you get more mavericky than defying every reasonable definition of maverick? See, he’s done it again — John McCain is the original yes-maverick. Obama should just quit the race now, as he has nothing against the powerful yes-maverickness of Bush/Not Bush McCain.

It’s morse code!!! He’s sending signals to his superiors at Ft. Bragg to let them know that all this stuff he’s saying about receiving “good treatment” from Obama is bullshit. Really he’s being horribly treated and viciously tortured.

El Bombastico October 16, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Ha. This will be the biggest blinking-related campaign disaster since Blinky the three-eyed fish derailed Mr. Burns’ campaign for governor.

Yes, this is a strained analogy.

OMG, an actual, effective attack ad! Barack Obama is an angry black man who will steal your purse and insult your puny white penis.

BobLoblawLawBlog October 16, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Well, that one’s my favorite. Well done, Hopey. This beer’s for you. (No, really, it’s for me. Just like the next one!)

Barry needs to hire Sarcastic Voiceover Guy as Press Secretary.

…if he ever stops blinking for longer than 30 seconds then you should call the paramedics and begin CPR.

jagorev October 16, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Instant classic. Finally, someone shows some talent at making attack ads this cycle.

I wonder if McCain is having vision problems, which may explain some of the wild blinking and eye-rolling under the bright lights. I mean, yesterday he was taking notes with a big Sharpie marker, and seemed to be writing in 1-inch-high capital letters. Either that, or he was playing tic-tac-toe with himself, and was getting frustrated because it kept ending in a tie.

What, no hug photo?

WagTehGod October 16, 2008 at 3:10 pm

Dear Wonkette: Thank you for not putting “McCain blinks” into your drinking game. I’d have been dead of alcohol poison 30 seconds into the debate.

NewSpence October 16, 2008 at 3:11 pm

[re=137560]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: And under Barack’s health plan, there will be no “vaginal rejuvenation” surgeries for that warn out trailer park pussy…

Cogito Ergo Bibo October 16, 2008 at 3:13 pm

Every time Grampy blinks, a mavrick-y undecided embraces the Hopey ticket. Or God sends Cheney a new kitten to feast on. One of those.

To fend off certain future unemployment, McBlinky should shill for the Visine people. Do a before ‘n’ after kind of thing:

*Hi my friend, I’m John McCain. During the debates last year, a hekkuva thing happened.
My old man peepers kept dryin’ up on me, while oddly, I was sweating like a nigger
on election day.

Then I squeezed some good ol’ Visine into my windscreen, and guess what? I still lost the
election. So fuck you.*

JeffGoldblum October 16, 2008 at 3:21 pm

Barack should come out with a series of his ads fashioned after those iPod commercials where he could just dances around in silhouette for 30 seconds because why not, this election is in the bag.

Weeping Jesus October 16, 2008 at 3:22 pm

Memo to McCain: The non-special needs Americans have decided that electing a guy who refused to give Robert E. Lee any information and crashed his ironclad into oyster shoals on three occasions would not be the prudent use of their votes this year. This will, undoubtedly, be the last time we see a candidate over 50 running for the presidency.

AfterThought October 16, 2008 at 3:22 pm

Did anyone else notice he said that Sarah Palin knows a lot about raising children with Autism? Her son has Down Syndrome. Apparently he’s not too clear on the needs of special needs children…even those of his own running mate.

JeffGoldblum October 16, 2008 at 3:23 pm

[re=137613]JeffGoldblum[/re]: That comment was riddled with grammar problems… I hazs publick skoolz?

bitchincamaro October 16, 2008 at 3:28 pm

[re=137619]JeffGoldblum[/re]: You were left behind then, and with a name like Goldblum, you’ll be “left behind” again.

Weeping Jesus October 16, 2008 at 3:29 pm

[re=137617]AfterThought[/re]: He meant “Alzheimer’s” and he was referring to himself. The old relic has publicly disintegrated. It’s sad, of course, but in four years no one will recall who Palin is and almost no one will remember why McCain was ever relevant.

Maus October 16, 2008 at 3:32 pm

[re=137617]AfterThought[/re]: I guarantee that McCain’s speech touched the hearts of anti-vaccination parents raising “Indigo children” nationwide.

HomoPolitico October 16, 2008 at 3:32 pm

…also McCain is teh ghey with Bush.

WhatTheHeck October 16, 2008 at 3:35 pm

Relax, ken. That’s just how old folks wink.

Terry October 16, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Those blinks are the manifestation of the shock he’s feeling. McCain has skated through life, first on the coattails of his grandfather and father, then on the fortune of his second wife. Now he wants to be president. How dare the voters stand in his way.

This is what Piper thinks about us and what we say about Pappy McCain!!!

Stay classy, Piper.

[re=137655]ihasasad[/re]: Love that. Poor kid got enough grief in the past month, plus the disgrace of having been born in that crazy-ass family, she has the right to vent. Just don’t let her close to mommy’s firearm collection.

Zadig October 16, 2008 at 4:19 pm

I’m sorry, Senator, but I’m not voting for you no matter how hard you bat your eyelashes.

bcnjake October 16, 2008 at 6:56 pm

blink.

blink. blink.

Huh?

smellyal8r October 16, 2008 at 9:02 pm

If John Kerry would have had the guts of this guy he’d be President today (probably trailing by 30 points in the polls, but President nonetheless).

wildeoats October 16, 2008 at 10:36 pm

Since Caribou Barbie refuses to blink, someone has to do the blinking for both of them.

[re=137655]ihasasad[/re]: Spicy!

Surprisingly, I like her better than mom. And I don’t mean that in a nasty way. That poor kid has got to be a pretty tough cookie. After being trotted out onto the stage by her insane mother to be used as a prop, she has a right to be pissed. Maybe she will find the “moose grenades” mom keeps in the shed and take the whole family out of the picture.
