Walnuts!
The fact is, this was a political promise made by an inexperienced President or candidate for Presidency of the United States.
Jonathan Chait says this shows John McCain is bitter about losing the 2008 election, but to us it seems he just never stopped running for president. He didn’t lose the 2008 election; it just hasn’t happened yet! Only when the voters finally come back around to old man McCain will the election happen.
Any day now. [TNR]

Um, we're talking about gays in the military here. GAYS IN THE MILITARY! What level of caps-lock is required before you understand what that means??? McCain is right. No, not that McCain, the other one. No, not her either, the old dude.
(Wow, based on my rating, sarcasm isn't playing today!)
Release the CindyBot!
The fact is, this was a political marriage made by an inexperienced Senator or candidate for Senate of the State of Arizona.
And the MegBot for good measure.
If her tits blew smoke, I'd inhale.
John needs to crash a plane, for old time's sake.
I heard Jay Leno has a show again.
An inexperienced President?! Someone help me here…. where does one go to get experience being the POTUS? Is there an adult summer school class on how to arm the football? Far as I know, the are only two men alive who are experienced in the office and still eligible to run – Read my Lips Bush and Jimmah Cahtah. Anyone want to wipe the cobwebs off of either of those codgers and put 'em back in the Oval Office?!
Good. We can all agree that experience isn't the be all, end all that Walnuts thinks it is.
John Sidney McCain III has unequaled experience among current American politicians in being a prisoner of war. His experience is also unsurpassed in being the son and grandson of four-star admirals. You don't pick up that sort of experience at Columbia and Harvard Law, youngster.
I will not question any of what you note – I respect McCain's service. But that service and his family history wasn't good enough for him to be promoted to admiral. Why then would it qualify him to become Prez?!
I think he's warning us about Palin.
Also, too, this just proves how mavericky he still is.
"He didn’t lose the 2008 election; it just hasn’t happen yet.
But while he waits Gramps wants his prune juice, his Depends changed and the kids to get off his lawn.
And he's going to keep the baseball.
This is good news for John McCain.
someone had to say it.
I never knew Roget's first name was Chaim. Well I'll be darned.
I know, this time we'll try Palin/McCain in '12. When she quits in 2 years, then he can be the fucking president. Everybody will be happy.
"The fact is, this was a political promise made by an inexperienced President or candidate for Presidency of the United States."
His chair was then turned around by his nurse to face the dinner table, where he was fed a veritable meal of puréed peas and a fine meat paste of veal, all washed down with a glass of Pinot noir mixed with children's tears.
Ah, the possible reality show with the spite-filled, bitter old dad, his frigid socialite wife, and their happy-go-lucky chubby daughter!
The Real McCains coming soon, on Faux.
Can I tell you that when I've seen previews for David Hasselhoff's new reality show that I instantly think of the McCains?
Still sounds better than Sarah Palin's show.
The only good thing I can think of about John Crankypants McCain is: he is the only man alive who hates Dubya as much or more than I do, and with multiple good reasons.
Unlike you Johnny Boy can set his hate on the back burner briefly for political advancement. Unprincipled hack that he is.
Unprincipled Hack? You are too kind.
I've always thought McCain's hate for Bush was rather silly. He hated Bush because he thought that Bush was born on third base into an establishment family, which is all well and true, but McCain seems to miss the fact that he was also born into an established, well-off family, himself.
Bush's dirty tricks swayed the Carolina voters enough to wrest the Party Nomination from John in the 2000 contest then Dubya's monumental mismanagement ran independent voters away from the Party in droves for the 2008 contest. McCrankypants sees Dubya as the empty poser he is and feels this incompetent upstart stole his rightful place in the Sun. Now he sees the Sunset and the clock has run out for him. Of course, John would never think he made any mistakes along the way (Palin). In addition, I imagine John was thinking about Dubya safely flying the skies of Texas and sleeping on clean sheets while being tortured at the Hanoi Hilton. No doubt John's head is full of snakes, at least one of them is named George.
I remember very well the "McCain's black baby" shit that snake made up is SC, but McCain's hate for Bush was established well before that. That stunt just cemented the fact.
Alls I'm saying is that this narrative McCain has built around himself as this righteous maverick is about as fake as Dubya's Texas Cowboy image.
And you are correct, sir. But then McCain hates everybody, doesn't he? He is a self-righteous asshole, does that count?
I'm not so sure about impulsive, I always felt his vulgar,vicious,petty behavior was well thought out in advance.
You mean to tell me he mulled over picking Sarah Palin for his VP for months, right?
McCain/McTits 2012
Yes, John, isn't it terrible that some people, after they get elected, actually try to do the things they said they would do? WHO NEEDS THAT!?!!??
If he smells like urine, he is probably bitter. Literally.
Nobody regards him as a statesman anymore.
Tell that to the Sunday newshour bookers. & The Atlantic. & Vanity Fair. & Time. & Newsweek. & National Review. & The Washington Post. & The New York Times. &, for that matter, The New Republic.
Chait talking out of both sides of his mouth, again.
You forgot ugly, lazy, and disrespectful.
HENG???
McCain knows what's right for the military. He never could have concentrated on crashing airplanes if he knew that those husky, sweaty seamen might ravish him during the long, lonely cruises on the Oriskany.
