McCain Won’t Address Supporters Nov. 4, Plans To Give Statement To ‘Small Group of Reporters’

Closing down the Loser's Club.John McCain won’t speak at his “Victory Party” on Election Night, the AP just reported. Instead, he’ll “deliver postelection remarks to a small group of reporters and guests on the hotel’s lawn.” Really? This is what your campaign announces 10 days before the election? That you’re such a furious loser that you’ve decided, in advance, to not address your supporters at your Election Night party?

Aides said Thursday that the arrangement was due to space limitations and that McCain might drop by the election watch party at some other point.

Ha, sure, that’s the issue. “Space limitations.” There is not enough space, in Arizona, for two-foot-tall John McCain to awkwardly read his concession speech in the same ballroom where his supporters are, uh, drinking morosely.

Jesus, maybe he really doesn’t have any supporters in Arizona at all.

  1. What a maverick.

  2. A record number of Americans will show their support for McCain by skipping McCain’s election party as well.

  3. Biden Time says at 5:05 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I will be holding a different part of my body when I vote for Barack.

  4. magic titty says at 5:06 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Sweet Jesus. Was this announcement a concession speech?

    Cuz I just pre-ejaculated.

  5. NewSpence says at 5:06 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Is there anything, at all, that this campaign has done right? I mean, come on, help me out here people…

  6. Cape Clod says at 5:07 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I think this serves as the earliest concession speech in American political history.

  7. Delicious says at 5:08 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Leave Britney alone!

  8. Elite_Princess says at 5:08 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Fabulous. Maybe he’s scared there’ll be riots and the angry old white people will be shooting each other like at Palin rallies?

  9. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 5:09 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    MAVERIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It takes a special kind of douche to be a sore loser in advance.

    He is just trying to get a favorable comparison by our stupid media who will say he’s dignified compared to Obama’s Victory Party of pussy and coke (the sniff-sniff kind, not the canned kind) in Grant Park.

    Stay vigilant people! Don’t let them steal this shit again!

  10. Gopherit says at 5:09 pm, October 23rd, 2008
  11. The concession speech may be the only thing McCain says that I agree with this whole election cycle.

  12. superfecta says at 5:09 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Did many Bothans die to bring us this information? Or am I just paranoid it’s a trap?

  13. captainjuice says at 5:10 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I bet Palin swoops into the “Self-Defeat Party” just in time to pull the switch, and all the posters turn into Palin 2012 as she raises a shotgun and lets out a cry of Jihad.

  14. hockeymom says at 5:10 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    That’s what he says NOW…wait about 10 minutes and he’ll be announcing a huge party at Arizona stadium.

  15. Gopherit says at 5:11 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    He can’t be there . He’ll be digging a shallow grave in the desert for a certain little Miss Mooseburger. Doing that takes time.

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 5:12 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Wait, he’s changed his plans again — instead of giving a concession speech, he’s just going to fart in a jar and leave it at the podium. God bless America.

  17. Gopherit says at 5:12 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    hockeymom: Hell yeah, Arizona Stadium. That’s in Tucson. We’ll give him a great liberal greeting here for his concession speech.

  18. Who’d want to hang out at that funeral dirge? A thousand demoralized supporters convinced that ACORN stole the election, wincing harder and harder as each state for Obama is called by the media, before finally learning that McCain went and made a concession call to Obama at 8:30 so he could go cry alone in the back of the Straight Talk Express.

    Don’t Fear the Reaper, John.

  20. John McCain’s campaign has been modeled after Little Dorrit’s.

  21. problemwithcaring says at 5:18 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Biden Time: Yes.

  22. magic titty:

    Need to borrow a blue dress?

  23. bignutz2 says at 5:18 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    He’s in the tank.

  24. PrairiePossum says at 5:19 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    With all the money they spent on the snowbilly’s wardrobe and makeup, they can’t afford to have an election night party.

  25. hockeymom says at 5:19 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    nurple: You did NOT just play the Dickens card.

  26. natoslug says at 5:21 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I hold McCain election parties daily. Then I wipe, flush and wash my hands. My little McCains are much less offensive than the real McCain, though.

  27. slappypaddy says at 5:22 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    So the Heroic American Maverick devolves into just another pathetic splatter of chickenshit. Johnny, we hardly knew ye.

  28. I am positively GLEEFUL at this news. So much so, I’m going to type that again, in all caps: I AM POSITIVELY GLEEFUL AT THIS NEWS. God, that felt good.

  29. bitchincamaro says at 5:23 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Fuck you guys! He’ll be in France bailing out the latest glitch in the Large Hadron Collider.

  30. villageatrois says at 5:24 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    By election night, all remaining McCain supporters will fit comfortably on the hotel lawn. Cindy always takes him for his walk there, just before bedtime.

  31. bignutz2 says at 5:24 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    If you just handed the whole country over to the blacks, you’d want to run and hide too.

  32. stolichnayaaa says at 5:24 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    “My friends, and select members of the press, it is with a heavy heart, but hope for the future, that I greet you here tonight.

    ::grince::

    I have chosen this venue to tell you all, at long last, to GET OFF MY LAWN!”

  33. The Cold Sea says at 5:32 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    This is just weird. What about all the people who love you, John McCain? What about all of your loyal frie…er, never mind.

  34. 4tehlulz says at 5:35 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Righttards! You’re hero just shat on your face and ran off like the coward he is!

  35. 4tehlulz says at 5:36 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    *Your

  36. mc_frontalot says at 5:36 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    You watch. This means there’s something up their sleeves.

  37. I Haz A Rez Erection says at 5:37 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    His competition *is* a thick-lipped mandingo with no desire but to lure white women into his den of sin with marijuana and jazz. He’s gotta keep the trollopy cunt in line that night when whatever shattered remains of his respectability go up in a puff of bong smoke.

  38. problemwithcaring says at 5:38 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    You also need an outdoors, sober televised appearance when your plan is to call for calm “until all the votes can be recounted.”

  39. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:39 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    McCain will in fact be at Barry’s party in Chicago…. better strippers and more booze.

  40. CrabtreesBludgeon says at 5:39 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    hockeymom: BLECCH. I can’t stand the thought of Grumpy McWrinkles defiling the memory of my Alma Mater’s awesome football team’s stadium. Oh wait, they sucked when I was there. Well, anyway, the stadium is still pretty cool.

  41. CrabtreesBludgeon says at 5:41 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Miller: Wow, I think I just came. Thanks!

  42. Hominidx says at 5:41 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Okay, I’m going to state the obvious here: if there’s an issue of ’space’, why the hell would you not hold your speech and election night party in a place that could hold them? What the fuck?

  43. Violenza says at 5:42 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    This is because he wants to be as far away from the race riots so some nut doesn’t catapult a bomb to his Walnut. We are all aware that he is planning to TRY to steal this election, right? I’m not TOO scared, since everything he tries ends up blowing up in his red ass face, but c’mon people.

  44. Jamie Sommers says at 5:44 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Why go to all the effort of speaking from the lawn? That hotel is only a quarter-mile from his condo. He might as well just give his speech from his living room.

  45. Wow. Methinks Mac just isn’t very good at this losing gracefully doohickey nonsense. He’s probably gonna put his fist through a wall or throw a midget (not himself) out the window or something if (when???) he loses.

    If I were Cindy, I’d take a long vacation far away from Cranky Pants before he pulls out the pimp-hand on her pancake makeuped trollop face.

  46. longjohnson says at 5:49 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    magic titty: Magic Titty - pre-ejaculating is just like real estate. Its all about location and timing . . .

  47. Pathetic. And McBush was the best of the bunch! Remember Mittens? The Paultard? That REALLY old guy from the teevee show? then there was that hillbilly guy who used to be fat? Forget all their names now, but weren’t those fun days?

  48. Hooray For Anything says at 5:52 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Where will Sarah Palin be that night? Some meth lab in Wassalia?

  49. ColdCupofHope says at 5:53 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I figured he’d just give his speech to the bartender in the hotel lounge.

  50. on that same night the term “that one” will used to refer to sarah palin as she thrown under the bus and tossed into the woodchipper. yippeee!

  51. Ken Layne says at 5:55 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    stolichnayaaa: hahahahah, you win.

  52. Outstando says at 5:56 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I don’t blame him. The way he’s run his campaign, no one wants to hang around the people who still support it.

  53. american mutt says at 5:57 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    jilly: Paultard is above that whole Bush camp. The only crazy smart crazy insane one of the bunch.

  54. thetalltexan says at 6:00 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Gopherit: Of course it will take him time, he can’t lift his arms to toss the dirt.

  55. magic titty says at 6:10 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    longjohnson: Well I can’t put it back in now, can I?!

  56. OzoneTom says at 6:11 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    natoslug: If you used one of these, you could skip the first and third follow-up steps.

  57. natoslug says at 6:19 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    OzoneTom: I’ve got a couple of Dutch friends in Mountain View who put one of those in. I haven’t built up the courage to let it wash me, however, as the idea of water, electricity and my testicles being in such close proximity gives me the heebie-jeebies.

  58. regisgoat says at 6:22 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Yeah, I like the theory that he’s going to be avoiding public places because his minions stole the election and the country will be in flames for a few days. I mean, it’s a crackpot theory, but I like it.

  59. Fashizzle. What a loser. Cindy won’t have enough pills after she spends the night holding onto that whiny, pathetic prune.

  60. Sonoran Sam says at 6:29 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    “Arizona is the only state in the nation where a mother can’t tell her son that he can grow up to be President one day.”

    - The late (and great) Rep. Morris K. Udall, D-Ariz.

  61. longjohnson says at 6:30 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    magic titty: Yeah, its sorta like Napalm isn’t it?

  62. Gopherit says at 6:37 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    stolichnayaaa: I will use the word grince forever after when referring to that strained “I pooped myself” thing Grampy does with his face. Well done.

  63. stolichnayaaa: Wow! Nice one. I just spit man malt all over my screen. Did I just type the quiet part loud?

  64. He’ll be with his pal, Jack Daniels,
    And his partner Jimmy Beam.

  65. Barrett808 says at 6:49 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Gopherit: “The Web site is operated by two conservative Republicans who say they support Obama because they want Democrats to be blamed for the country’s economic hard times.”

    This may be the stupidest pro-McCain “action” yet.

  66. Scandalabra says at 6:57 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Well, they expect results by as early as 9 PM, and that is technically past his bedtime.

  67. More Stalingrad behavior. Too bad because he is a basically decent guy in a party which is imploding.

  68. DailyComicsReview says at 7:33 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    It wasn’t a victory party we could believe in anyways

  69. American Mutt, to say Paultard is above that whole Bush camp . . . wul, that’s not saying much. That would be true of every man, woman and child, in the entire world, minus those in the Bush camp.

  70. smellyal8r says at 8:17 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I think it’s loser talk, but it could be “rally talk” to get all those old duffers off to the polls to put him over the top. “Poor me. Look what they’ve done to me” and all the sympathetic oldsters will agree to work five and a half more years as Wal Mart greeters to put one of their own in the WH. That said, Why not give his speech from a bamboo cell on the front lawn? Just to remind us what we are missing.

  71. MissKLEO says at 8:22 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    McCain will also hold his nose–and his breath–until he passes out.

  72. stolichnayaaa says at 8:23 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Gopherit: I am grincing with pride. Now, off to drive out to the countryside, kick my own ass, and carve a W on my face.

  73. Lazy Media says at 9:19 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I hate to say I told you so, but if it weren’t for the Gawker disinheritment, I could show you the post in February where I said the general election was over. The only suspense in this whole thing was whether Hillary could put him away on Super Duper Tubersday. When she didn’t, that was the ball game.

    Walnuts DOES suck particularly, but Ronald Reagan would have gotten his ass kicked this year. NO REPUBLICANS, America sez.

  74. Tito Puente says at 9:23 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    superfecta:
    Joe Biden used to bulls eye womprats in his T-16 back home in Biggers Canyon.

  75. ky-jellydonuts says at 9:49 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Well, since AZ will be on Pacific Daylight Time with the sun just starting to set when the inevitable Tide Of Suck starts rolling in the East, it should make for some fascinating pictures. They might call this with the sun setting on the career and ambition of a great Amurrcan, et cetera. Much like the last couple weeks, it kind of writes itself.

  76. If you carve a W or M or O on your face using the mirror, because you are a dumb ass, you will get away with it…. at least I think so…. I’m off to test this theory… toodles.

  77. Jukesgrrl says at 1:44 am, October 24th, 2008

    McCain supporters might be drinking morosely, Palin’s supporters will be drinking moosely.

  78. LittlePinky82 says at 3:52 pm, October 24th, 2008

    That’s so funny he won’t even party. I guess you don’t have to being married to a beer princess. I’m sure he has all the booze he needs at home. Plus he doesn’t have to worry about anyone looking at him while he’s crying.

  79. LittlePinky82 says at 3:56 pm, October 24th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: And they have craps games where he can spend the rest of his money.
