I LOVE IT! The Republicans are whining that Obama is "showboating" on his International tour...
...but what they all know, and won't admit, is that it's their fault for standing behind such a piss-poor president whom no one likes anymore. Now, the world is all too ready to listen to a guy who hasn't even been elected yet, rather than the de facto "leader of the free world"--all thanks to the Republican party.

Don't blame Obama, Rush--blame yourself for propping up George W. Bush for two disastrous terms.

2. Excuse me, that is spelled 'McCain'
Edited on Tue Jul-22-08 06:13 PM by HypnoToad
After all, it's about that Biblical story of McCain and McAbel... McCain killed McAbel, screwed Eve to provide the rest of the human race, then started McDonalds to make all the children obese from eatin' too many happy meals... Oedipus would have been proud, but then he would know somebody would have gotten there first and 'Oedipus complex' would become 'McCain complex'...


OTOH, That was thousands of years ago... maybe 'McCane' is apropos... or McZimmer?

3. Showboating? He's being himself, with all that involves, including
a quick, intelligent mind that doesn't flub and forget. They're jealous.

20. That 3 pointer in Kuwait
should go down as the biggest Showboat in the history of politics.


After the media held on to his bowling score like rottweiler ...did they keep talking about his amazing basketball skills?

7. "The hypocrisy is simply stunning."
That explains why McSame looks like he's walking around in a daze most of the time. :D

21. I should point out here that "showboating" was my own term, and I'm not aware
of any conservative talking-head specifically using it in reference to Obama...yet.

But it IS basically what they meant.

12. How about this, then, in the Washington Post, about McCain's maternal grandpappy!
"Nancy Calhoun, a local historian at the Muskogee Public Library, said: "He stood out in a town full of rascals." A jailbird, too. His grandson's risen a wee bit in my estimation. But not a lot.

Speaking the English language fluently, sans gaffes.

McGaffe couldn't showboat with Oscar Hammerstein's help!
