McCain Describes Obama’s Energy Policy In Three Simple Words, All Of Them “Blah”

by Juli Weiner  3:50 pm October 28, 2008

  • McCain, addressing Queen Frostine and Lord Licorice in the chocolate village of Hershey, PA, described Obama’s energy policy as: “blah blah blah, all this.” [The Caucus]
  • Say goodbye to your Christian Science Monitor, it is relocating permanently and exclusively to the Internet, which is a sunny suburb of Phoenix. [Marc Ambinder]
  • And so begins the Great Ohioan Civil War between two van-driving teens and the McCain supporter who shot them with a rifle, to protect the partisan lawn accoutrement he figured they were sabotaging. [Ben Smith]
  • Just three weeks ago Colin Powell could not stop from going on about his first husband Ted Stevens. And then Ted Stevens turned out to be this liar who was just not the man Powell married. And then, then, America is supposed to trust anything Powell scrawled about Obama in colored pencil in his pink moleskine? [RedState]
  • A McCain adviser called Palin a “whack job,” which is a filthy sexual act not performed since Valentine’s Day 1968, when Obama and Ayers put on some Van Morrison and dropped acid in a cave in Kandahar. [AMERICAblog]

Walnuts will discover the Hershey Squirts are no laughing matter.

Oh lordy, lordy, lordy. McPlaneWreck has quite a vocabulary. Say, kids…this week, last week of the election festival, print out my lovely McWalnuts Campaign poster and put it on your neighbor’s car window. I live in France so I won’t get in trouble.

WALNUTS! is a nasty, bitter, dried up, disrespectful, dishonest, cynical, rich, white guy who has not had to work for a single thing in his whole fucking life.

Besides that, he’s a great guy.

SwanSwanH October 28, 2008 at 3:56 pm

“Lord Licorice.” Because “Gloppy” would be racist.

FMA October 28, 2008 at 3:56 pm

I could be a McCain speechwriter.
“Health care, yada, yada, yada, whatever.”
Shit writes itself.

Johnny Zhivago October 28, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Where can I complain about this? The McCain campaign apparently managed to force a county worker to use his snowplow equipped dump truck to knock down and bend my Obama sign.

I carefully examined the sign, and it appears to have been textually assaulted and with an “J” scratched into the side.

ManchuCandidate October 28, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Say didn’t the guys running Chernobyl say the same thing?

“Vhat Me Worry? Sure the reaktor’s vrunning vather hot, but blah blah blah I don’t see anyfing vrong vif it.”

slappypaddy October 28, 2008 at 3:58 pm

McCain knew Palin was a “whack job” when he took her on. Of course, it was a different meaning of “whack job” he had in mind.

AnnieGetYourFun October 28, 2008 at 3:59 pm

Let’s see… Barack was a 7 year-old boy in 1968, so does that make Ayers… a Republican Congressperson of some kind?

The Pumpernickel October 28, 2008 at 3:59 pm

Crazy about the Christian Science Monitor…I tell you the newspaper business is a dying one.

McCain’s next speech; “HEHNGNN! Blah Blah Blah…”

magic titty October 28, 2008 at 4:00 pm

Read the comments at RedState. There is some winning GOP strategy being posted. Haha. I’m sure Tucker Carlson is scrolling it now.

Shooting at people over sign thieves WTF!

“…van-driving teens and the McCain supporter who shot them with a rifle, to protect the partisan lawn accoutrement

Worst. Trick ‘r Treating. Ever

Aloysius October 28, 2008 at 4:03 pm

Man, how bad a shot do you have to be to try to miss a van and still hit it?

Cape Clod October 28, 2008 at 4:04 pm

I thought “Blah, blah, blah” was Fred Thompson’s position. On everything.

MISTAHCOUGHDROP October 28, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Holy Crap! I just got a Robocall from McWalnuts here in Paris. He said “blahzé, blahazé, blahazé…” En français!

[re=152906]magic titty[/re]: You beat me to that comment. Dang.

slappypaddy October 28, 2008 at 4:06 pm

In Ohio, they say “GET OFF MY LAWN!” with rifle fire. And they fire warning shots AT their targets. Just in case.

Be careful out there, kiddies. It’s beginning to sprinkle lead.

magic titty October 28, 2008 at 4:12 pm

[re=152919]Styrofoam Boots[/re]: And I meant to say Tucker Bounds. But fuck it – they both apply.

bluebrazos October 28, 2008 at 4:12 pm

Usually what you hear in Texas is

BLAM!

“Stop, or I’ll shoot you again!”

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 28, 2008 at 4:13 pm

[re=152906]magic titty[/re]: I think the vast majority of the folks at RedState are suffering from brokebrainitis. It’s sad, really, to see them sputtering and whimpering until November 4.

MoodProcessor October 28, 2008 at 4:13 pm

In a related story, Larry Craig was spotted hitch-hiking on the Hershey Highway.

dano October 28, 2008 at 4:14 pm

[re=152920]slappypaddy[/re]: Dude is in some trouble. Discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle is fucking serious business, especially if you hit somebody. I was on a jury about 3 years ago and we sent two guys to prison for 10 years for shotgunning a SUV full of teenagers.

chascates October 28, 2008 at 4:14 pm

Palin has just called from Uncle Ted to shuffle away:
“After being found guilty on seven felony counts, I had hoped Senator Stevens would take the opportunity to do the statesman-like thing and erase the cloud that is covering his Senate seat. He has not done so. Alaskans are grateful for his decades of public service but the time has come for him to step aside. Even if elected on Tuesday, Senator Stevens should step aside to allow a special election to give Alaskans a real choice of who will serve them in Congress.”

[re=152905]freakishlystrong[/re]: “My friends, I will drill here and drill now because I’m a maverick, not like that one who want’s to spread Joe the Plumber’s wealth around and blah blah blah, HEHNGHH!?”

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 28, 2008 at 4:16 pm

[re=152932]chascates[/re]: Appointment of Todd Palin to fill Stevens’ vacancy in 3…2…1…

chascates October 28, 2008 at 4:19 pm

From Politico.com:
John McCain — no friend of Stevens — called for the Alaska senator to resign Tuesday morning, Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) provided a second Tuesday afternoon, and now Gordon Smith (R-Ore.), Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) have followed in quick succession.

[re=152936]Godot[/re]: SRYSLY-this has been the most goddammed hysterical election evah, The fuckin’ Repubs and thier catch-phrases and nicknames-Hockey-Moms, socialists,lipstick…Jesus.

The Lucky Republican October 28, 2008 at 4:23 pm

How the hell is Colin Powell supposed to know whether he’s wearing clothes or not if Ted Stevens is in jail?

Worlds End October 28, 2008 at 4:23 pm

Sarah saith:
“After being found guilty on seven felony counts, I had hoped Senator Stevens would take the opportunity to do the statesman-like thing and erase the cloud that is covering his Senate seat.”

1) Dangling modifier, girl–unless you just got found guilty on seven felony counts–which come to think of it you will be but that’s another day.
2) Senator Ted’s seat has a CLOUD covering it? Is that an Alaska thing?

Hooray For Anything October 28, 2008 at 4:32 pm

I love the “blah blah blah” bit. It’s so Seinfeld. Like he’ll start giving speeches where he’ll say “if I’m elected President, yadda yadda yadda we won’t have to worry about Putin anymore” or “due to my economic policy, yadda yadda yadda social security will be solvent.”

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 28, 2008 at 4:34 pm

[re=152965]chaste everywhere[/re]: She’s probably referring to the lingering odor from Stevens’s geriatric farts.

V572625694 October 28, 2008 at 4:38 pm

[re=152930]dano[/re]: Wait, it’s a crime to shoot teenagers in an SUV? Sounds like community service to me.

Miller October 28, 2008 at 4:38 pm

Wasn’t McCain’s description of Obama’s nuclear policy “Nuclear power should be safe, blah, blah, blah…” yesterday? I think I smell a theme and a McCain resurgence!

why do they talk about Biden’s “test” scenario as if he’s
a goddamn Nostradamus?
“Biden sez he’ll b testid, so it must tru!”

[re=152889]Doglessliberal[/re]: That is an unfair thing to say.

He worked very hard selling us out to the North Vietnamese to earn those fruits and cigarettes.

cal October 28, 2008 at 4:52 pm

If you read the Christian Science Monitor article, you will make the delicious discovery that there is apparently a real person named “Budge Sperling.”

Doglessliberal October 28, 2008 at 4:55 pm

[re=153018]glamourdammerung[/re]: oh, gee, you are right. He and Caribou Barbie are out to help the poor and downtrodden of this country, improve our education system, promote religious tolerance and free speech, and protect the environment. They are running for office solely to do those things, not out of greed or ambition or to prove they can be Commander in Chief and thus trump any rank their fathers or grandfathers ever reached. Mea culpa.

Doglessliberal October 28, 2008 at 4:56 pm

[re=153022]cal[/re]: that sounds like a bird. “Roaming across the desert, we spotted a fine nesting pair of lesser budge sperlings in a cactus.”

Blah, blah, blah,

Has John McCain ever blahed a blah?

Tra October 28, 2008 at 6:02 pm

Grandpa Simpson keeps forgetting the words, so “blah blah blah” is probably the best he can do.

This so-called incident involving the gun never happened. Guns are peace-loving. Guns don’t shoot people. People shoot people. I think we should ban people.

Borat October 28, 2008 at 7:00 pm

In the NYT photo in Hershey, is Palin wearing a chocolate brown suit? Yummy! I see she does have taste when picking out her own clothes.

Borat October 28, 2008 at 7:02 pm

I think a Wonketteer predicted Walnuts new speech style yesterday with the brilliant all caps 160 character Ebay endorsement. 160 characters seems to be about his brain’s memory (and/or baud) capacity these days
