The funniest part is that he thinks he needs more than three minutes of speaking time. Most people can clock in even a significantly belabored “HEHNGNN?” in under two seconds. (Also, sometimes laws are passed that set a policy and then grant the relevant department/agency a certain amount of time to implement them, after which they “go into effect.”) [Think Progress/Wonk Room]

fucking jackass. that is all I can think
Angry tweet from his daughter in 3…….2…….1…..
The North Vietnamese definitely got the better end of the McCain deal.
McCain is suggesting that the military go against the orders of their Commander in Chief. Isn’t there a name for that? Sedition, perhaps?
Lindsay must’ve forgotten to pull out before… well… you know.
Oh, John McCain says Congress is suddenly relevant again. Just like they were when they passed his “don’t torture” law and Dubya published a signing statement invalidating it before Dick Cheney had even finished putting away his thumbscrews. Well good for you, you impotent phlegmatic grandstanding milquetoast — you go save the world one stupid campaign issue at a time.
[re=506296]The Huffington Pogue[/re]: McCainBlogette: “feeling under the weather, gotta shake this before I guest host The View thurs! I’m gonna need my energy Any quick get better health advice?”
We have to wait for it, presumably. (Although her defense is usually along the lines of “he’s an old man and I’m a young woman-girlie, of course we have some differences.”)
Shorter McCain: “Meghan and Cindy! Shut the fuck up, you cunts!”
The angry, stone-faced blinking is actually Morse code (yay military training!). He is saying “I’ve plowed your wife, I’ve plowed your daughter. After this bs, you’re next.”
Torture is gay and retarded. Also.
He seems so sensitive considering he’s a “straight” dude who looooooves ABBA.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/06/john-mccain-abb.html
He claims that he loves “Take a Chance on me” but I’m guessing “Dancing Queen” or an in-the-closet fan of the Village People…
Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn to crash A-1s and SkyHawks
Where can you begin to make your man dreams come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you crash and burn
Shower with hot naked men
Study men’s topography
Blame everyone for crashing planes
Or use you legacy
When your team and others meet
In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
FIVE AND A HALF QUEERS, ALAN! FIVE AND A HALF QUEERS!!1
God, what a trollop.
But McCain was in the Navy, the gayest of all military branches.
Now hear this seamen, the Rear Admiral wants you to swab the poop deck, so stop all that scuttlebutt about the First, Second and Third Mates.
Somewhere, in Bizarro-world, Bizarro-CSPAN is broadcasting President McCain’s Q&A appearance at the Democratic House Caucus. He stands helplessly at the podium, twitching and HEHNGNNing and urinating on himself, while Anthony Wiener and Alan Grayson pummel him with nerf balls.
NPR had Congressman Duncan Hunter II (son of Cong Duncan I) on just now, saying, “I’m guessing when you have a new employee at NPR, they don’t just announce, ‘I’m gay’ on the first day.” I’m guessing they don’t have to announce it, it’s kind of assumed unless you state the contrary.
He also said ending DA/DT would mean that transsexuals and hermaphrodites would have to be allowed in too.
[re=506314]HughJennicks[/re]: There’ll be a clean sweepdown, fore-and-aft! Lower the captain’s gig! Don’t pull that loincloth off the cabinboy again, Seaman Bodine! Love that gay gay gay Navy talk.
[re=506299]Terry[/re]: Shows what you know. SCOTUS struck down the sedition laws in Lawrence v. Texas. John’s just confused. He’s afraid if Congress repeals DADT, we’ll all find out he crashed FIVE AND A HALF PLANES, ALAN.
Irrelevant FUCK. Incontinent, also.
Back in the cage McCain
Ramifications? I think he means Ram-it-in-my-asshole-ifications.
I wonder if that tape on Cindy’s lips means no blowjobs for Senator Gayhater,
And why the fuck did he need more than 3 min?? He used one!
Ok just so I have the new republican reality, in 2004 Kerry was labeled a flip-flopper according to republicans and thus couldnt be trusted to be POTUS. Now we have republicans come out daily for crap they not only supported but co-sponsored.
[re=506319]V572625694[/re]: Shit should of watched Hardball, Tweety got the guy from the family research council to not only come out against repealing DADT but also said we sould have laws banning teh gays.
[re=506319]V572625694[/re]:” He also said ending DA/DT would mean that transsexuals and hermaphrodites would have to be allowed in too.”
Please, please, please tell me you made that part up. The Repubs are so fucking insane now I can’t tell anymore.
[re=506330]Gopherit[/re]: Those lips are reserved for that used car dealer who is gettin’ all of Cindy’s sweet love.
[re=506312]Extemporanus[/re]: Oh, dude. Thank you. Thank you.
I’m glad he’s happy there’s still a Congress of the United States. I guess someone has to be.
[re=506331]EdFlinstone[/re]: Oh, goddammit, I just had me an insight. This is why the Repubs are so afraid of bipartisanship, and why they’re The Party of No. They think everything is about teh gay. In fact, I heard a rumor that Nancy R. got “Just Say No” from McCain, which he learned in the Navy, on account of his purty mouth. It all makes so much sense now.
Conservatives, please consider moving to Uganda your anti-gay paradise.
Reuters – “Since losing to Obama in the 2008 election, McCain has become a consistent critic of the president. He has voiced objections to the administration’s proposed tax cuts, repeal of ‘don’t ask don’t tell,” criticized new banking regulations, and has also raised concerns over the President’s aftershave, his wife’s hairstyle, and one daughter’s proposed major in college.”
Given that McCain sold us out in Vietnam, I would have said it was safe to say he hated the Pentagon and the military in general for a while now.
Secretary Gates and Joint Chiefs Chair Mullen: You must always consult with Congress so that you’ll know what your opinions are.
Dismissed.
[re=506319]V572625694[/re]: I have to agree with Congress-toad Duncan. If you allow transsexuals and hermaphrodites into the military, then well gosh, they’ll wear one kind of uniform one day, and another the next day, and just think of all of those dry-cleaning bills. Mary!
[re=506296]The Huffington Pogue[/re]: Nope.

Speaking of DA/DT: http://tinyurl.com/ylatxd7
what a bitter old grandstanding fuckhole this guy is. the whole world owes him five and a half years worth of apologies and deference. jeeeezus liver spotted christ.
[re=506335]Katydid[/re]: Oh it’s true, although I may not have captured every word that Hunter said:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123287737
Hermaphrodites! Who doesn’t hate and fear them?
Today, we are all trollopy cunts.
Sad, the military was the last profession straight white guys had a clear shot at a middle class job with a pension.
Just this one time, let’s emulate redhate.com and send McCain some stuff. He actually may need some of these items, since it’s February and Cin’s payment has to go long this month. Here’s my list:
A subscription to PenisMaverick.com (yes, it’s a real Web site)
Metamucil
Depends
Detrol
Viagra
A six-month subscription to eHarmony…oh, wait, that’s for Cindy
“Thank you for your military perspective Senator, now maybe we could hear from someone who WASN’T captured by the enemy.”
Wake up sheeple! Just look at how that Israeli military, that lets gays serve openly, routinely gets their ass kicked in by neighboring countries with militaries that hate teh gays. No? Nevermind.
[re=506352]Gopherit[/re]: One could say it’s rather ironic that the picture on the McCainette twitter has as it’s background image somebody wearing not only a tshirt protesting not only gay bashing but also gay bashing by a certain political party and then have their father and member of that political party just bash the shit out of gay people in public.
[re=506335]Katydid[/re]:
I have known trannies, and let me tell you something: If there is anyone you want on your side during a fight, and I mean ANYONE, you want a tranny. I have never before or since been around people with such tough and resilient spirits, and you do not fuck with them, they having been fucked with all their lives. We’d be lucky to have them serve, and I’m serious about that.
This is why people like Duncan Hunter make me sick: they talk about people- like me, as a gay man, for example- as though they actually had an informed opinion. This Howdy-Doody -looking mother-fucker wouldn’t recognize a gay dude if he slipped in a puddle of lube and ended up face down in the queen’s asscrack. The last gay guy he could identify was on Will and Grace, and that was only because the actor was holding a latte. That he’s been showering next to us for years, and probably did so in the Marine Corps, has never even crossed his mind.
And yet we cater to his prejudice. In public policy. With the third largest supplier of jobs in the country. Unreal.
You can go back to the snark now. Sorry about all the earnestness, but that shit makes me insane.
[re=506301]SayItWithWookies[/re]: “impotent phlegmatic grandstanding milquetoast”
Is this phrase copyrighted, or may I steal it?
yeah, asshole. the “all volunteer” military can’t have ‘merika-hatin’ homsecksuewls when we have to turn down so many capable and qualified non-fag/lesbo citizens who want to join the military every single day. jeez. have you seen the lines outside the recruiting stations? two wars, asshole. tell your gay friends to go back to hating america because we have no place in the military for them to defend america!!!1!.
[re=506370]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Yeah, she’ll never criticize Daddy, which leaves me with a clear conscience in speculating what she wants to do with that duct tape and an elephant.
also, hate, fear, save the wasps, repeat. nevermind that our military was in a shambles before the ignorant fuckwads from texas (my lovely home) sent it to fight two wars. (that is not at all a knock on our servicemen & women who do a great job for shit pay.) we can stop pretending the guys who sold it all away to dyncorp, boeing, ge, & halliburton did such a bangup fucking job. you fucking suck at what you do old man.
sorry, i too have a problem with these sorry fucks bashing our fellow citizens for no good fucking reason. go back to flag burning, parachute pants, welfare queens, making fun of the palins, and all the other bullshit non-threats of yesteryear.
[re=506372]Tommmcatt[/re]: I’m giving you an earnest slow clap right now. There’s no one I’d rather have kicking ass for me than a man who volunteers for and withstands the pain of a bikini wax. That is one tough motherfucker.
[re=506377]Gopherit[/re]: Yep. She’s obviously afraid of who pays her allowance. Mom is a nice docile conservative wife that stays in the background and isn’t going to criticize John’s retarded ideas.
The silence of both of them when John McCain says something bigoted or misogynistic does far more harm than any fluff PR campaigns they’re a part of. Sure, I’m sure they both believe the right things, but their father and husband remains an active force for bigotry and discrimination.
[re=506366]EdFlinstone[/re]: “Wake up sheeple! Just look at how that Israeli military, that lets gays serve openly, routinely gets their ass kicked in by neighboring countries with militaries that hate teh gays. No? Nevermind.”
Progressives playing the “why do you hate Israel” card would be brilliant.
[re=506380]Wanderlust[/re]:
Right? Plus: pumps. Can you imagine?
Seriously though, they get spit on, knocked down, and all they do is get back up, wipe their faces, and move on, every single time.
Thank you, Senator McCain for taking a stand! I am so sick of the military pushing its radical gay agenda down our throats. I even heard they have a whole ‘recruiting’ division, since they need a constant supply of fresh blood to replace the thousands who die as a result of their dangerous ‘lifestyle’.
[re=506319]V572625694[/re]: [re=506319]V572625694[/re]: He actually said that working at NPR was gay? Seriously? Where do they create these demented cretins? And has there ever been a more graceless loser than McCain?
Talking about gay–I actually watch Keith O right now, but I have to record “Lost” (for three g**ddam hours) for a friend who is on the road tonigh because, well, I’m a better person than she is. I know everyone but me watches it, but shit–that annoying narrator voice is not only gay, but annoyingly, affected gay–which is the worst kind.
[re=506372]Tommmcatt[/re]: Having grow up in SF, I can only say that . . . if Our Nation’s Military is reduced to recruiting a pack of 6’2″, 22 lbs., black pre-op transvestites such as those that used to “work” Eddy Street . . . well, then . . . God Help Our Enemies.
WOLVERINESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Or,
GOD SAVE THE QUEENSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Whatever.
[re=506385]DustBowlBlues[/re]: You mean, working at NPR is NOT gay?
Are you sure?
Guy behind in the yellow tie: sleeping, or checking out his own junk?
Just thinking out loud here, after reading all the comments.
It seems to me most of the world’s military organizations do allow homosexuals.
That is the true hypocrisy of the walnut’s position.
oooooo. Mr. Tough Guy.
Talk stupidly and carry a limp dick, Senator!
You know when you can’t get your sexual frustrations out crashing 25million dollar government airplanes, bitching about gays and trannys are all that is left.
See, this is what happens when the POTUS appoints a radical gay Communist to the post of Defense Secretary. He tries to destroy the armed forces! They should have stuck with that guy Bush appointed .. What was his name … Robert something.
Gates’ blinking when McCain was babbling away reminded me of line from the stoner girl in “Heathers:”
What?
[re=506305]Sharkey[/re]: Hmmm… Get better advice… I’d say “percocet”, but I’m pretty sure there aren’t any to be found around the McCain household.
[re=506346]glamourdammerung[/re]: McCain did what he could to destroy the Navy — one plane at a time.
[re=506412]Allyson[/re]: The blinking is like what the dog does when you try to explain quantum mechanics. He knows you’re trying to say something, and he should probably sit still and pretend he’s listening, but he doesn’t hear “walk” or “dinner” or any words he recognizes. He’s pretending to listen and care, because McCain’s lips are flapping, but he doesn’t hear anything that makes a damn bit of sense.
[re=506391]Sharkey[/re]: Not most, certainly, but the ones who are most closely allied with the US, definitely.
Anyone want to hear Duncan Hunter (gayest. name. ever) stumble his way through explaining to NPR why gayz in uniform is bad? Here you go.
[re=506385]DustBowlBlues[/re]: What is this “Lost” that everyone keeps talking about. It’s all over facebook. srsly, I have no idea. It’s some sort of television program?
[re=506435]Flanders[/re]: Coincidentally, “Lost” was my state-of-mind when I tried to watch the show.
And why the fuck did he need more than 3 min?? He used one!
And repeated himself during the one minute he used.
Go queers!
[re=506374]DustBowlBlues[/re]: To your heart’s content.
Wait, really “Well I didn’t see the schedule.”
Dude, if a college kid in California (myself) could see the schedule on the Internet days in advance, I’m sure you saw a copy, jerk.
[re=506372]Tommmcatt[/re]: Through an unexpected turn of events I’ve become pretty good friends over the past couple years with a trans-girl. I’m continually impressed… No matter how much small-minded bullshit she encounters, she GETS WHAT SHE WANTS. And that’s more than most people, straight, gay, what have you, can say.
That the slippery slope “oh no, trannies!” argument is even invoked is a sign of just how bizarre the American right’s views on sexuality are. Hell, even Iran publicly supports sexual reassignment (though, granted, for rather unfortunate reasons).
The eligibility criteria for military service should be “Are you in good physical and mental health”, “Are you a felon”, and “Do you know which end of the sword is the pointy end”, and that’s all, period.
When W. was president, the Senate bent over backwards to lower its pants and perform.
[re=506372]Tommmcatt[/re]: “I have known trannies, and let me tell you something: If there is anyone you want on your side during a fight, and I mean ANYONE, you want a tranny.”
Thank you for the info. Now I understand Coultergeist.
[re=506480]Mad Brahms[/re]: Even more confusing is the paranoia about “hermaphrodites”, i.e, intersex people. I mean, just as a purely practical matter. What military force *wouldn’t* want a few thousand of this lady and/or gentleman in their ranks?
It’s funny that the US Americuh Right Wingnuts LOOOOOOOVED 300 and praised it to the skies as the ultimate personification of he-manliness and military force while conveniently forgetting that the military ideal of the Spartan Army was probably the gayest army in history. The Spartan typically screwed women only for procreation and (usually younger) men for fun.
Suck on that Jamacain.
[re=506517]ManchuCandidate[/re]: ’300′ was the ultimate in sadomasochistic homoeroticism. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. With washboard abs.
[re=506517]ManchuCandidate[/re]: That’s the reason why when I saw 300, I was like, NEEDS MOAR GHEY SECKS.
…Well, one of the reasons.
…Not the main one.
[re=506376]pat robertsons personal trainer[/re]: Indeed. As Chris Rock posited it, “No way I’m joining the military. There could be a Russian tank rolling down Flatbush Avenue, & I’m just going to say, ‘Cool. Keep moving. We’re cool’. You can call me a FAGGOT if you want for that… But if actual gay people want to fight, I ain’t gonna stop ‘em. Let ‘em fight”.
