Wonkette
Ugh, must we do this, too? Yes, we will watch John McCain, who is looking down with disgust at his supporters, who are booing and hissing. It is no fun to lose a contest. But good god, his supporters are garbage. McCain looks like he’s going to cry. What a bunch of trash. Good god, they’re a mob. A mob. They never even liked him, and only really came around when he stupidly hired a moron to fill out the ticket. He won’t mention Palin!
11:25 PM — Oh, finally he mentions her, the grinning jackass, and the crowd goes MAD.
11:25 PM — The wingnuts are writing McCain’s obit right now.
11:26 PM — They will gather ’round this stupid fool, Sarah Palin, who shouldn’t be allowed to night-manage a Circle K.
11:27 PM — But old Walnuts tries to go out with class. He knows he made his mistakes.
11:27 PM — More angry boos.
11:27 PM — Because he mentioned Obama and Biden in a nice way.
11:27 PM — Boos, chants, USA USA USA, angry shouts.
11:27 PM — 333-155, that’s the CNN ticker now.
11:28 PM — He doesn’t allow Palin to speak. He hates her stupid guts.
11:29 PM — Off they go, to tragic Star Wars Darth Vader death music. What is this?
Yes, we must, also.

Obama won, we got what we deserve. We took God out of school. We told God we knew better, we told God we didn’t care. We told God life didn’t matter. We told God we didn’t need Him. Greed and lust and all that is evil and greedy is what we desire and all that is Godly be damned. We will reap what we sow. The country our founding fathers prayed for God to bless, we just simply squandered. God will not be mocked. Does anyone hear Taps? We’re done stick a fork in it. America is OVER!!!
This speech is incredibly classy. Reminds me of the Johnny Mac from 2000. Actually makes me a little sad of just how far he fell in his quest for power.
McShame !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems like he worked on this speech for weeks. Did he start working on it right after the Republican convention? After he saw what he hath wrought with Caribou Barbie?
(Classy booing McCain supporters!)
Compared to the supporters, he kinda seems okay.
Let’s get Barry on so I can cry.
McCain is class.
They’re booing and he’s telling them to stop.
Palin on the other hand grins when she hears the boos.
PLEASE go away Palin.
Great speech by McCain.
Hopetarded: Putting him next to his supporters makes him seem totes classypants.
Cut back to the mixed race crowd in Chicago, this is boring..
Oh my God … what a bunch of white folk!!!
Damn gracious speech, John! Where was he on the campaign?
He’s wrong about Wasilla Barbie. She won’t last long. But, if she should, that just makes the win in 2012 easier. And for you suckas in Arizona: MOVE ON!
McCain was always a better man than his campaign. But let the catcalls of the Mob at every mention of Obama’s name remind you of the deal with the devil he made in this campaign.
Sarah has some fat legs
Its a beautiful speech .. really. The crowd is um embarrassing to say the least.
thats the mccain of 2000 that was pretty ok
McCain doesn’t deserve this humiliation. His supporters deserve all this humiliation and more.
This is what happens when you go slumming, politically speaking
Now…GET OFF MY LAWN!!
yeah, they are the trashiest.
Obama’s acceptance speech has just been released:
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’,
Just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
…oh-shit is looks like a riot outside the fukking White House!!!
Holy shit they are about to tear down the White House gates! ! ! I gotta run up the street and see this!
Palin could barely look at him or shake his hand.
GO AWAY.
A giant crowd has gathered in front of the white house demanding that Premier Bush step down now so that the black folks can move on up!
Classy? It’s a trick–get an axe.
I think that he did cry a little. He picked up at the end, though. Good speech for him, but he definitely needs a hug.
We’re not lucky enough for them to run Palin in 2012.
Juan McMaverick: Thanks for the reality check… still lots of assholes out there…
Juan McMaverick: The Freeper Cup Runneth Over…..
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see— O Thou who changest not, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
I felt a twinge of pity, for FIVE AND A HALF seconds. Fuck McCain and his dirty campaign.
The entire Arizona McCain crowd just booed the incumbent President and Vice President, three times now. Doesn’t that make them terrorists? Shouldn’t we arrest them all *right now*?
Caribou Barbie’s closeup was EPIC! Yes, u can hz moose now!
feeling bad for poor Walnuts! almost! but definitely not for Sarah n’ Cindy. yikes.
There were boos mixed in with the cheers for Palin.
Honestly, his supporters ARE why he lost, but I suppose he can’t just say that when probably half of them have rope and shotguns for the lynching party they were hoping to throw after a victory.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: glorious.
AngryBlakGuy: Seriously?
Can we have the John McCain model 2000 back again?
McCain deserved a better class of supporter.
His obvious shame at the mob mentality and the dignity of his remarks were somewhat undercut by the evil-emperor-esque theme music as he departed the stage and left America to her new leader.
…that, and, you know, being a douche throughout the entire campaign.
The Star Wars music gives it a nice touch though. I suspect McCain will now board an X-Wing, salute the crowd, lift-off, and then engage hyperdrive to spend his days on the Near Death Star…
Can we all just send John Lewis and tell him we love him? He makes me have sadz.
Classy speech, followers are no-minds. Hope Palin isn’t the future like he says, hope she is crying right now, back to the tundra with ya bee-otch.
I love the party in front of the White house. A big fuck you to Busch
I see that Ken got the same vibe from the music too !
AngryBlakGuy: They’re ripping up cobblestones in the town square of Dixville Notch!!!
It would have been a better speech if he had ended it by throwning the contents of his martini glass at the crowd.
Just saying.
AngryBlakGuy: My thought too! What the hell was that?! They sure seemed to cut away quickly.
GOD - Sarah SOOOO badly wanted to talk . Hah ha. Don’t let teh Lower 48 hit you in the ass on your way out…..
Nathalie08: Looks like the villagers and the monster.
McCain’s crowd was a bitter bunch of bitters. Special shout out goes to the sad looking man in the handlebar moustache. Oh well bitter bitters better get over it quick!
Itsjustme: …you know “w” and Cheney are fueling up Air Force One as we speak and getting ready to flee to S.America
Large crowding gathering outside of White House.
Torches and pitchforks predominating.
Some nooses.
Secret Service Protective Detail reportedly “out getting some barbeque.”
This could end badly . . . .
I’d like to thank Gov Palin and her five wonderful children…
Umm… I mean her four wonderful children and her grandchild.
Fox News has explained that when McCain mentioned Obama, the crowd was actually cheering “Booo-boma!”
Freep;
We were way too ideological. Do you think Kucinich would win if he could even get nominated? Palin was the embodiment of ideological extreme. Think Feingold could get elected if even nominated?
Many, many reasons but to get elected in this country you just can NOT be immovably ideological. It never works and certainly never will in the 21st century.
And whether we love her or not, the verdict on Palin was clear. She was only liked by the base. Fair or not, the choice proved a disaster outside of us.
Fuck. If they start making sense, I have nothing to believe in.
Isn’t the music the theme from The Hunt for the Red October?
Fuck McCain and his fucking robocalls. Sure the nice guy comes out now but the nice guy would’ve run a clean campaign.
Also –> is Bristol single yet ? hmmm hmmmm
???
This awesome. As someone who is originally from Western Pennsylvanian, and obviously a racist, I never thought Obama could pull it off. My faith in the American experiment has been restored.
Hey, he never thanked Joe the Plumber!!!
That was the McCain from 2002…wonder where he has been. A great speach.
Assholes in the audience. Thank God he did not let her speak.
Sorry, didn’t take time to read all the comments, but would like to say “go home & rest, Walnuts” & to Bible Spice — just go HOME & never come back. Because we Really don’t like you. (you ain’t Sally Field!)
Lionel Hutz Esq.: And now, the mud throwing will exist. Fox is already Bashing obama. Jesus CHRIST.
Itsjustme: Rep. Lewis talked tonight about how shortly ago people were killed for trying to register to vote. Hatred dies hard but I hope we can see a better America soon.
Travis Smiley just said that MLK was the greatest American in history.
I guess Lincoln doesn’t count because he was a honkey.
(And didn’t go for white women the way Dr. King did, I suppose. But being married to Mary Todd would have that effect on anyone.)
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Dumb.
AngryBlakGuy: Nooooo. Those a-holes are despised in S. America anyway. We’ll catch ‘em.
Did no one pick up on the racist undertones of the patronizing part of that speech? He basically told African Americans to from now on suck it up and write off that acre and that mule. Any black folks still not happy with the U.S. of A. will be booted to Haiti.
And is Joe the Plumber out there tonight???
(cut to Joe stealing silverware from the hotel)
Put some lipstick on Palin and send her back to Alaska!
surplusj: Yeah, his supporters represent the wost aspects of our society. Here’s hoping they become less and less relevant with each passing election cycle.
whiteasasheet: …they didn’t want to get everyone excited, do you know how long half this country has been waiting for a good ‘ol fashioned Coup D’etat?!
Nov 5, 2008: First day of ‘Ya Know?’, the new daytime talk show hosted by Sarah Palin, at 3.
Just following Oprah, at 2.
Perhaps we can hook the bitters up with Jim Jones? He can take them from their earthly pain. Point em to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_suicide
wrteched_of_the_mirth: True, that. It was a deplorable moment in an otherwise sorta dignified concession.
If only McCain had shown half as much class throughout the campaign as he just showed in his concession speech.
His supporters managed to display what people around the world have come to hate about America — what, in fact, America has cone to hate about America. No wonder he was ashamed of them. But they’re what he spawned. Will he take responsibility for that? I doubt it.
Okay. I just cried during the National Anthem. That only happens during the Olympics. This has to stop.
Does anyone have a transcript or video link for the McCain speech?
John Lewis is my hero. McCain/Palin (and your goat-blowing, assclown bigoted supporters) watch his interview on MSNBC from tonight and learn a few fucking things.
The weirdest parts of this scene was the almost Nazi banners along the sides of the stage with slightly twisted stars and a few people waving red (Communist Chinese?) flags, not American flags.
What is wrong with these people?
The booing was an awesome touch. Oh, and this is AnnieGetYourFun. Kevotron’s girl just bought us tacos. Love you all.
Can’t we just shun Sarah Palin, like the Amish would?
The music was from Crimson Tide, about a mad-with-power submarine commander who nearly started a nuclear war…
simetrias: What do you want? I’m on my fourth Martini. (Sheesh, if you want the good shit, catch the early show).
mamandesfilles: The correct Alaskan way is to place her on a little ice floe and let her float away into the sunset.
Custerwolf: I’m so glad they didn’t allow her to bleat.
I rarely post on here, but thank you witty and wonderful people of Wonkette for making this election season bearable and also for electing the Arab. Somehow, I know it was Wonkette that made this happen. It was the Force.
Goin’ to drink now.
C’mon Hopey, time for a speech. I will not stand for this CPT shit out of you.
All the casters keep saying Senator Obama then keep correcting themselves to President-Elect…this is very strange
C-SPAN is awash in the beauty of American faces for the world to see. Amazing what the absence of fear looks like. It’s a sea of love, a high tide of hope, and I’ma gonna catch me a wave.
Bible Spice looked like she was about to cry. Surprised me — I thought there was too much bile in her for that.
Oh and Walnutz REALLY did *not* want to kiss her on the cheek. REALLY.
mkane is full of shit…he should have been the poor loser he s been throughout his shitfilled campaign!
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Fuck that noise. Here’s the real speech:
[i]
Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment. - Good Times.
Any time you need a friend. - Good Times.
Any time you’re out from under.
Not getting hassled, not getting hustled.
Keepin’ your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.
Temporary lay offs. - Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs. - Good Times.
Scratchin’ and surviving. - Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line - Good Times.
Ain’t we lucky we got ‘em - Good Times.
[/i]
FUCK
Bachmann looks likes she may beat the elf.
http://elections.cbslocal.com/cbs/wcco/20081104/race6.shtml
Uhhhh… I am as happy as the next guy that Obama got elected, but do any of you remember how the crowd’s sounded at Kerry’s concession??? Gore’s???
I do and it was at least as bad as this.
Happy for Obama, but you folks are full of shit.
Juan McMaverick: The wingers think God is punishing us with Hopey’s win? Do they not realize I spent the entire day devoted to Jesus (and the beverage table) and skulked upstairs to the sanctuary a few times to pray?
This win is in answer to my prayers, not a response to the wingers failure to shove their dogma down our unwilling throats.
Now, Dems in congress, try acting like Democrats again. Tax the rich. No more torture and first and foremost–pass the fucking Employee Freedom of choice act. Hopey owes Ohio to the labor unions.
The long national fucking nightmare is actually over. Thank you Wonkette peoples for saving my sanity during this hideous electoral process. Big win! Hopey! The real John McCain was allowed to leave the basement! GOP now a regional subcultural irrelevancy!
Sorry for the crap editing, grammar and spelling on the previous post. Too much celebratory ale!
Congrats and good luck to President Obama!
Ifeel SUPER sorry for the old fool. now he’ll have plenty of time to eat a bag of dicks.
:::Cut to Colin Powell’s living room. Powell is dressed only in stained boxers shorts, a wifebeater tee shirt, and knee length black socks held up by garters, the left one sagging.

And then that motherfucking Cheney and that Jewboy Libby send me over the General Assembly with that alumnium tube story.
FUCK!
:::Drags bottle. Smashes empty into screen. Weaves beadily back and forth, and then passes out::::
What a gorgeous family. The Cosby President.
From the Freepers: “John McCain can pack sand. He is a damned loser. He has done everything in his life to screw the conservative cause. And this is the last worst spit in our eye. He is a despicable rotten sack of crap!!!”
Rhetorical weak opening for Obama.
This sucks.
When is he . . .or more accurately, “He” going to change water into wine. Or raise the dead? Or mak a blind man walk or whatever?
Or maybe just transmute lead into gold? That would help the economy, at least.
Now, we watch, as the Republicans turn cannibal.
Hey Palin. Take your $150K worth of overpriced clothing from Needless Markup and go back to Alaska, you worthless pile of fuck.
Gotta say this: where was this Johnny Mac during the campaign? The wages of selling your soul to Karl Rove ….. Let’s just hope he means what he said.
I really wanted to see one of these retarded ‘publcians cry but it’s ok…they and their redneck followers will forever and ever have to live with the knowledge that they lost in a landslide to a black man widely suspected of being a Muslim agent and who went by the name Barack HUSSEIN Obama! They lost to a HUSSEIN in a landslide just a few measly years after “THOSE SAME PEOPLE” attacked their country! To top the humiliation and confusion off, they lost Virginia, Ohio & Florida to a NEGRO named HUSSEIN Obama. They have also more than likely lost Indiana (the birthplace of their favoritist organization, da KKK) and North Carolina to a HUSSEIN Obama!!! BWAHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!
I hate to sound like a sore winner but I’m really hoping for mass suicides in Kentucky & Alabama soon. Do the honorable thing and end it all people!!!
@Crab1, I’ve been wondering for a few days if now the entire USA will adopt CPT.
Also, will the chairs at the White House be chronically stained from that
gunk that the Blackz use on their hair?
McCain’s speech was classy, but the crowd was classless and showed what differentiates Republicans from Democrats: a complete lack of class. Every time that Obama’s name was mentioned in McCain’s speech they boo’d and McCain had to kind of shut them up. Conversely, in Grant Park, when Obama mentioned McCain in his speech there was simply polite clapping. SO all you Dems out there, keep being classy and we will keep bringing people into the fold and we can actually change this country.
Juan McMaverick: GROW UP
Juan McMaverick: Get a life…nut job…ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE THE REASON WE ARE IN THE SHIT WE ARE IN
dcmgurette: SCUMBAG
Neilist: Ben’s Chili Bowl is cranking out half-smokes for the sans-culottes…
@Austingunner: Oh, is that what they call that gunk?
Haha! Suck it, Tim Bee!!!
Nice speech by WALNUTS!, though. It’ll be interesting to see what he’ll be like once the campaign mentality wears off.
He lost me at “my friends”.
My compassionate side wants to give McCain the benefit of the doubt that his concession speech was sincere.
As for Palin, my less compassionate side says..FUCK YOU, and for extra measure “elmész anyádba”..translated from Hungarian :”Go to your mother’s hole”
d4g33z: Barack H. Obama and the H. stands for HELL TO THE YAAAYAH!

I loved seeing that as well. I saw Asian, Caucasian, Black, White, Middle-Eastern, Biracial … I saw ‘us’. It was so wonderful to see all of us appropriately represented.

james_cambridge:
Don’t kill me! Huntsville really did try … at least before the lazy Republicans decided to vote at like six o’clock, p.m. For one dazzling moment Montgomery, Huntsville, Birmingham and several others cities were all blue. I was proud.
Juan, you are so off. I’m Christian, but you are the blind leading the blind. Think about it, who declared war on a nation that never threatened us? Who dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing thousands, all in the name of being right? Just like the Pharasis who were so blinded by the need to be right that they saw to it Jesus Christ was hung on a cross. Wake up! America has been breaking the commandments, killing, discriminating, lying, cheating, pilaging and plundering for years. Bush and his gang have been turning their backs on the very men and women coming back from Iran with disabilities who fought for Bush’s self-serving agenda. You think because they claim to be for the Christian right that they actually are? The proof is in the pudding. Where’s the proof that they love their brothers as themselves while they invade and occupy other countries? And Jesus wasn’t talking about loving just Christian brothers btw, there was no such thing as Christianity until years later. Where’s the proof when people like Palin and Cheney give themselves license to kill animals who are the handy work of God for sport? Where’s the proof when McCain dropped his first wife as soon as he got back from Vietnam because she had been disfigured in an auto accident and he’d met another woman who was not only cuter but RICH and 20 years younger!? What a hypocrite! Thank God the American voters have given us a chance to rekindle the real spirit of the American people finally!
They’re not saying “boo” they’re saying “uuuuuuuuuuunite the country”
OK McCain loathes that moose lady and will never appear on the same stage with her or anyone else tangentially associated with AK again. Further, he is clearly sickened by his “constituency” such as it is –sad day when McCain outclasses his voters, but it’s true.
Juan McMaverick: They do know the Founding Fathers were athetists/deists, right?
Man, I miss old McCain. The new one is like was Shakespearean tragedy, where his greatest flaw was his need for approval. I hope he has a nice retirement.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: grant park was very well behaved tonight. we applauded for mccain at all the right moments.
though we did boo sarah. but i think we got away with it.
For dog’s sake, you morans, Juan McMaverick was just bravely reporting the wingers from freeperville!
I’m still completely shit-faced, but even I could figure that out!
vintageways: Nothing in his campaign became him like the leaving it?
Am I seeing things or was Palin crying? Mccain had probably just called her a “cunt” backstage.
glamourdammerung: I had to get it from the Beeb last night:

Now THAT’S bipartisan spirit! Oh well, Osamabama will overplay his hand just like Bush did and the wind will blow the other way the next election or so down the line… Now let’s get busy with redistributing the wealth, socialized medicine, banning guns, and letting the unions run business in this country, WHOOOHOOOOO!
plowman: Yeah, because nobody on the other side EEEEEEVER said anything nasty about their opponents.
Right.
Back to Freeper Country, Plowbeast.

“Now please welcome the new ‘Democratic’ Senator from the State of Arizona,John McCain.”
We don’t need to get to 60 to control the Senate….only need to get to 57 and add the Socialist, the Traitor and McCain. Seriously, you think after this election that McCain and Mini-me Leiberman will stand in our way?
I hope gramps gave the Palins cab fare and told them to get the fuck out of his state.
Chad San Marino: Nothing like a shocking big loss (especially of states like Virgina and Indiana which they thought were red forever) to shock some of more sensible Freepers into a little self examination. It won’t last.
glamourdammerung: here it is on Faux News (of course):
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11/04/raw-data-text-john-mccains-concession-speech/
Local Moran: Hey– I’m in Huntsville, too.
I was shocked to see that Alabama was “too close to call” for like 2 whole hours after the polls closed. For a moment I saw my “Bama-turning-blue” vision coming true.
plowman: Point taken, though if it plays out like Bush then we get a Democrat president for the next 8 years and a Democrat congress for 6. Wooo hoo!
binarian: But it is different when they do it.
Face it, Palin brought most (if not all) her problems onto herself. When you go out of your way to snarl and be a spiteful little bag of shit, your opponents tend to enjoy reciprocating.
I shouldn’t be shocked and appalled that almost half the country is so swallowed whole by dogma and false issues like guns and abortion that they would actually vote to continue this Republican misery for 4 more years.
But I am.
What do some people have against peace and prosperity? It’s not like we don’t have, not one but, two horrifically failed Bush economic models to compare to the Clinton boom.
Let’s see. The failures of Trickle Down vs the explosion of Bottom Up.
How stupid are some people?
Personally I do feel that we were in peril before McCain chose a running mate who’s highest qualification was mayor of the meth capital of Alaska and inspiring people around the world to pronounce their AAAARRRRs really HAAAAARRD making every day she was on the campain “Talk like a Pirate Day”.
Dohn’t ya knoh.
And Joe the ignorant plumber who was neither licensed nor had the money to buy a lemonaid stand much less his own business didn’t help.
Unless you’re another one of those Republicans with delusions of economic grandeur voting, yet again, against your own economic interests.
Anyway, thank God and let the peace and prosperity return.
wow…looks like i stumbled into a extreme leftist frat party already drunk with power and crunching on granola while plotting to save the squeeking butterfly with the remaining tax dollars not given to the people too lazy to work. This was a stupid blog spouting nonsensical bs. Have a fun party…it’ll be time to get to work soon. Oh, i forgot what crowd i was talking to.
