Is McCain fooling us? He's a terrible speaker or what?

[SuperTrouper]

I am watching MSNBC and he is giving a speech in Denver about the economy and he is truly pathetic. He needs desperate help because he is the worst orator that I have ever seen. He is dangerously close to being McAmbien. What a contrast when you compare him to Obama's speaking ability.

[Drunken Irishman]

1. He was this way in 2000 as well. However, had a smaller audience.

Since it was only the GOP Primary.

[Rick Myers]

2. That's why I can't wait for the debates!!!

:kick:

[rateyes]

3. McAmbien? Damn.

:rofl:

Shit. Now, I might have to vote for him, just to get a good night's sleep.

:rofl:

[npincus]

14. How about McSleepy?

My favorite dwarf!

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. I thought that was a keeper also .....McAmbien

McAmbien for voters who are already asleep
McAmbien can guarantee you four more years
of dreamless sleep that you will not only be counting sheep,
but will even become a sheep.

[Connie_Corleone]

4. I should DVR his speeches so I can get to sleep faster.

[npincus]

5. Was he this frickin' horrid in 2000?

I don't recall him being a particularly ungifted candidate in 2000, the way he comes off now. Was he always this bad?

[ecstatic]

7. No. His age has caught up with him

He refuses to let go of his Presidency dream.

[TwilightGardener]

9. I don't remember him being this robotic in 2000--in fact, compared to

Chimpy in the primaries back then, I thought McLame was a pretty good speaker at the time. He's definitely gone downhill.

[ecstatic]

6. I feel sorry for Cindy. I don't think he realizes that

he is not funny, nor is he clever or likable. And the way he behaves when he's just delivered what he thinks is a funny "joke" is, frankly, embarrassing.

[TwilightGardener]

10. Yeah--he's like your Grandpa who still thinks "Pull my finger" is funny.

[rateyes]

26. You mean that's NOT FUNNY???????

Damn. Now, I'm going to have to think of something else. :rofl:

[ErinBerin84]

12. truly. That's the best way to describe this.

"embarrassing". The way he "snivels" at his jokes comes off as so swarmy.

[Fleshdancer]

13. He has no natural sense of timing which is needed for comedy

You can practically read the teleprompter cuing him to "pause, smile, giggle" every 10 lines. :eyes:

[BuyingThyme]

8. He's like that Max Headroom dude.

[BuyingThyme]

11. His family comes second to his politics.

Can anybody really believe that he would treat the country any better?

I wish Obama would start kicking this guy's ass.

[mtf80123]

15. He is fooling us and I caught him in a bald faced LIE!

In this speach, he just mentioned that he has supported Veterans issues 100% of the time. Let's take a look at the truth shall we?

[TwilightGardener]

16. Crusading against the Webb/Hagel GI Bill is "supporting veteran's issues"?

Oh wait, he spoke against it, didn't vote for it, but took credit for it anyway. That's good enough for the McMedia, I guess--never mind.

[flpoljunkie]

27. McCain is spoiled by his 'base,' the media who challenge neither his exaggerations or fabricatiions

[thewiseguy]

17. I am not even bothering with his speeches

[Fleshdancer]

18. I tivo them and watch them at 2am....

McCain will single handedly destroy Ambien's profit margins.

[SuperTrouper]

24. ROTFLMAO

AMbien, Lunesta and Rozerem should team up to trip McAmbien otherwise we'll see the Butterfly, Abe Lincoln and the Beaver unemployed because everyone will be TiVoing McAmbien's speeches to fall asleep, especially that one with the avocado green background

[Fleshdancer]

28. McAmbien! I LOVE IT!!!!

Go to sleep my friends.

There goes the drug lobby :rofl:

[Island Blue]

19. He's so boring, Bob Dole

sounds exciting by comparison.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

20. Bob Dole was way more interesting to watch than McCain.

McCain couldn't speechify his way out of a paper bag. It's really a thing of beauty to watch McCain speak. He's Paul Harvey without the Paul Harvey.

[Supersedeas]

21. the comparison which the M$M promised to make between those primetime speeches

that Obama and McCain gave (the night Obama locked it up) -- and note that before McCain had even finished the M$M cut from his speech and never when close to comparing the two speech whether for content or presentation.

the Free Ride Media has chosen their candidate.

[SuperTrouper]

25. Only Harold Ford Jr. loked McCain's avocado speech

[TexasObserver]

22. He's horrific!! He giggles at his own jokes, and thinks he's being cute.

His own personally picked audiences don't even know when to applaud.
