Breaking News. McCain having troubles finding a VP...No One wants it..Very quietly all have refused

[opihimoimoi]

the offer so far...

They know its Political Suicide....

This is why its taking him so long.....No one wants to lose in the biggest landslide in centuries....oops, decades....

The Kahuna sez, Even Gary Bauer turned them down...OMG...the Horrors....

[azmouse]

1. awwwww.... poor McBush.

[opihimoimoi]

9. The Pub Wall Flowers are rejecting the dude....LOL

In fact...they all left the dance...McBush hitting on anyone who will listen....even Larry Craig turned him down...its Bad

Its Sad

Its so telling....

[saltpoint]

2. Well, this hurts my feelings. The son-of-a-bitch never called me at all.

[opihimoimoi]

3. Coming soon to a Phone Booth near you....a call to LOSE

LOL....

:toast:

[saltpoint]

8. LOL!

:hi:

[nc4bo]

4. So maybe this will be his MAJOR announcement, ya think? ROFLMAO nt.

[opihimoimoi]

10. He is thinking of AMERICA HAS VP'S...a competition to select a good VP

I want PIERCE for a judge....

[nc4bo]

14. He could always offer up a $300,000,000 award for a VP rather than that car battery :D nt

[opihimoimoi]

19. The GOP Masters will not fund major monies for a VP search...He is already under the bus

and them Pubs have moved on to 2012...McLuster is not shiny

[beac]

74. "American Idle"

Since whomever accepts McCain's offer will find his political career o-v-e-r come November 5th!

[opihimoimoi]

90. Yup...Idle....I love it....

:toast:

[saltpoint]

61. I think the big New Orleans announcement will be that Cindy has

plagiarized a new gumbo recipe that she wants to share with the nation.

[opihimoimoi]

91. OC...you are so terrible....hahahah

[Renew Deal]

5. He should just pick Lieberman and get it over with.

That's who he really wants.

[opihimoimoi]

11. Even Joe knows better...if he accepts, its because they got his family hostage or sumpthin

[ecstatic]

23. Joe is completely done after this. Being VP is his only hope

of a future in Washington.

[opihimoimoi]

30. Ya Know...ya got sumpthin there....grasping for the Limelight Time

[populistdriven]

6. k&r!

[opihimoimoi]

12. Thanks for the bump

:toast:

[TwilightGardener]

28. LOL! I can't stop watching that! EWWWWW!!!

[davidpdx]

40. WD, me too

it gets kind of addicting. Ok, I'll watch it one more time, then I'm going to stop. Ok, I swear one more time, then I'm going to really stop watching it.

[Minimus]

85. and now I'm hooked! Why did I look to see what you were referring to? Why?

[tularetom]

7. Then he ain't asked Loserman yet

because that miserable piece a crap would have accepted already.

[opihimoimoi]

15. I can see it...2 old dudes as in the odd couple over 70......LOL

[Thrill]

13. No one turns it down

[opihimoimoi]

16. LOL, I was just being facetious...however, I have to think, there must be cases for rejection

past and present for whatever reasons....

[Cronus Protagonist]

21. Gore would turn it down

He's on record for that, very clearly.

[opihimoimoi]

34. Oh shit yeah,,,Gore would laugh at the Nerve, the Audacity...No Way

would he even consider....

[Cronus Protagonist]

62. He's done that for 8 years, did a good job and got screwed for it

He wouldn't even consider it for the span of a heartbeat.

[democrat2thecore]

17. Link? Who's saying this? -nt

[opihimoimoi]

18. Please refer to 16

Its Humor.....:toast:

[Cronus Protagonist]

20. He should ask Brownie!!

He'll jump at the chance! Really :)

[curious one]

22. Not to worry, Joe Lieberman is always ready to take it. Or if not him, one of the jokers around him

would be happy to accept.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. I wonder has a Presidential candidate ever been VPless?

[opihimoimoi]

31. McVeepLess...I love it....

:toast:

[saltpoint]

25. If it is so that McCain is being rejected by people behind the

scenes in polite, whispered 'no-thank-you's,' then we're likely to get the real bottom feeders to comprise his shortlist.

The problem is, that description fits nearly every Republican there is.

How do we know which bottom-feeders rejected him already and which bottom-feeders are yet to be asked?

[opihimoimoi]

32. The $8697080089.09 question....who is the Fungus among us

[rox63]

52. Unfortunately, I see Mittens as McAnus's likely choice

Living in Massachusetts, I know the real horror that is Mittens Romney. :scared: :puke:

[saltpoint]

58. Hi, rox63. Yep. The rest of us don't have to tell you about

Willard. You've endured him on the front lines.

I'm thinking you have nerves of steel. He really does creep me out.

[Hugabear]

26. Obviously he hasn't asked Florida's Charlie Crist yet

Anyone who lives in Florida knows that Crist never met an office he didn't want to run for. The man is a fucking political shill, who will say anything, be anything in order to win votes. Years ago, he was "Chain Gang" Charlie because of his tough stance on criminals. Now he's positioned himself as a "moderate", gay-friendly, environmentalist. Whatever. He's a GOP hack.

[opihimoimoi]

33. Charming, Charismatic, and CUNNING...traits of an egotistical BULLY

[mtnester]

49. The risk is too great

unless he comes out, instead of staying perpetually "engaged", the risk to what the Republican old guard (and currently the MONEY portion of the party) believe in is just too great. Even they know his "fiance" is a front.

I think THAT decision has been made...poor Charlie, he just does not see it. The party will use his ass as they see fit, but if he ever REALLY wants something, or comes out, he is done. That is how it is with all those Log Cabin Republicans, whether they are out or not; admit it or not.

[Chloroplast]

27. The same guy that spit on the Office in the 2000 primaries can't find a VP? Say it ain't so!

[opihimoimoi]

35. Only the bottom trough feeders woulkd be interested...ego s must be fed...its compulsive

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

29. Ken Blackwell would probably accept

he could help with the GOTV efforts, too. :]

[opihimoimoi]

36. Would he though...? Anyone w brains can see the numbers...which are BAD for McSame

[mtnester]

50. Yes, he would

but they won't ask him....they know what is in his secret drawerer too...they helped PUT it there....too great a rish that drawerer gets indicted or made public.

[opihimoimoi]

73. hmmmmm, I see....

[woolldog]

37. Do you have a link substantiating this post?

[grantcart]

104. you have to read through the read to find out that he was being facetious

# 16

[MonkeyFunk]

38. I can imagine some turning it down

but for most, it's still an opportunity, win or lose.

Huckabee and Romney, obviously, want the job. It can't hurt Jindal.

I don't see how it hurts anyone, even if they lose. John Edwards raised his stature by running in 2004.

[woolldog]

41. Where's the link to the story?

Did I miss it?

[MonkeyFunk]

42. as far as I know, there is no story

just "chatter".

[woolldog]

43. Oh. Ok.

I'm kind of finding the idea of so many turning down the VP slot difficult to believe, but who knows?

[MonkeyFunk]

44. the very idea is ridiculous

but people here like to believe what reinforces their beliefs, regardless of the evidence.

[opihimoimoi]

48. I was been partially facetious...its taking so long I suspect twoubles in finding someone to say YES

[Clark2008]

77. Edwards raised his stature by running in 2004?

How? He was a has-been by February...

Not following you here.

[MonkeyFunk]

84. yes he did

he was a one-term Senator, now a national figure.

[opihimoimoi]

95. Yes, Edwards did gain....but in this case...when considering the numbers, any VP

potential has to consider the obvious.....buried in a MUDSLIDE

[Imagevision]

39. Mitt Romney says; pick me for #2. pick me pick me!!!

[opihimoimoi]

46. At one time..he would jump....but now....maybe not...suicidal....

[BrotherBuzz]

45. I heard Condi Rice would jump his bones for the gig.

She's excited about moving into Cheney's secret bunker to set up her shoe museum and having Secret Service to help her on her shoe safaris.

Has he even asked her yet? :shrug:

[opihimoimoi]

47. She would seal the Failure big time.....lol...was she asked? I don know...

[OmahaBlueDog]

87. All I hear, over & over, is that she wants to return to Stanford & write her book

[opihimoimoi]

92. which no one will purchase unless they sold for 5 cents

[OmahaBlueDog]

96. Y'know, if Charmin got really expensive...

...no, wait, this copy of The Fountainhead should supply me for the duration.

[opihimoimoi]

101. I was at Creighton in 1959...Wareham Hall..then Degleman Hall

Had good times....

Condi...the poor thing...over her head from Day One....never ever should be Security Advisor nor SoS....way over her head...

[MrSlayer]

51. Hey John, ask the HS department for my number.

I'd run with McCain, t'would be quite the lark.

[WinkyDink]

53. "Breaking news" from where? (Sorry, missed the "facetious" part.)

[opihimoimoi]

75. The Kahunas Latest Palapala....front page July 21 edition

Its a joke....

[crankychatter]

54. can you source this for me? Kahuna?

I hope it makes the GD front page

k/r

[opihimoimoi]

72. I have to put a fly in Macs war room to listen .....I strongely suspect they are having

conniptions.....the floor must be littered with crumpled paper...

They are taking too long....now, in order to compete with Obama...they will trot out Alfred E Newman...

LOL...:toast:

[Ganja Ninja]

55. Why would anyone want to go through all the effort just to be

associated with a losing campaign in the end? There's no gain of any kind and it would probably cost whoever takes the job a small fortune only to come away with a big negative on his/her resume.

[opihimoimoi]

76. Common Sense and Reason comes to the GOP??? Heavens...

[JerseygirlCT]

56. Alan Keyes to the rescue!!! nt

[NewJeffCT]

59. damn - you beat me to it! let's start a "Draft Alan Keyes for VP" movement

I'll contribute to that

[opihimoimoi]

64. Even Alan has brains enough to say NO...Afred E Newman maybe?

[JerseygirlCT]

82. Can he serve another term? nt

[zulchzulu]

67. Wow

You beat me to it...

[Ganja Ninja]

80. Bwhahahahahaha! Good one! n/t

[proud patriot]

99. yep that's who came to my mind

LOL :rofl:

[Medusa]

57. Didn't the Florida governor get a beard so he could be VP?

What about him?

[opihimoimoi]

71. I suppose The GOOPers would not like it

[AlinPA]

60. I doubt that Condoleeza Rice, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Pawlenty would refuse. It

is a way at least to get their names out there, even if they lose. I'm still saying Palin or Jindal will be picked - tomorrow. This Obama trip is blowing them out and they need to get the front page. Either of these two would send the media into a huge frenzy for months.

[opihimoimoi]

70. McNuts and Crew trying like mad to evade the Eagleton Debacle

They are Picking NITS to Death with fine Microscopes

[Phred42]

63. Is there something out there that makes this more than a rumor?

[opihimoimoi]

66. The Length of the SEARCH is Killing us....we wanna know, we demand to know,

Because its taking so long....rumors fly...

With desperation comes poor choices...McBush has a losing record with decisions...so I suspect a losing VP pick...

[zulchzulu]

65. Time to bring in the Sacrificial Lamb...

[opihimoimoi]

68. HAH.....I wonder tho.....if he is high on Cialis...McLost might do it....

[Dinger]

69. Cool, But Is There A Link?

[undeterred]

78. WHAT ABOUT JOE?

No way would Lieberman say not to him. And he's already been taken to the vet.

[opihimoimoi]

88. Vet?? for the shots? despite them SHOTs, Joe is still a LOLO

2 old guys...yeah....kamakazi....it would be suicide

[Phred42]

106. What a perfect was yo end that bastards career

He's not coming back after the next election anyway....

[opihimoimoi]

108. End it as a LOSERMAN...I love it

[Arugula Latte]

79. How many times do I have to spell it out? It's going to be Wilford Brimley.

As VP, he'll tackle diabeetus.

[opihimoimoi]

89. OMG...the Walrus and t he McBomb...LOL

[EnviroBat]

100. Eat your oatmeal! It's the right thing to do...

[barack the house]

81. Surely Giuliani would take it then.

[opihimoimoi]

94. That egomaniac would ...and lose.....the FireFighters would kill him

[Yavin4]

83. This Guy Is Ready, Willing, and Able

[opihimoimoi]

93. Ya never know what desperation does to abby normal brains..unpredictable

[LibraLiz1973]

86. Source?

Want to forward this on but can not do it without a source

[opihimoimoi]

97. Sorry, this is a facetious story based on the long delay by McCain..

Logic tells us he wants to avoid the Eagleton thingy and therfore extra careful in choosing the VP

But...this is different...Numbers look atrocious for McBush....Too many would have jumped for it...but now...after 45778 hours of chewing nails...the suspence is gone...anti climatic...

This tells us the man is desprately seeking Susan...oops....I mean a dude to run with him....

Tomorrow...a major announcement....maybe he will reveal...maybe not....

[Arrowhead2k1]

98. It's going to be Lieberman, just watch.

He's the only idiot willing to stand beside McCain all the time with a smug look on his face.

[opihimoimoi]

102. LOL, and occassionaly whispering in his deaf ear...Its so funny...Dumb and Dumber

[opihimoimoi]

103. No one mentioned PHRED THOMPSON....I just realized....I wonder why???

[Phred42]

105. ...he was kinda tired -- and thought he'd go home now.......

[opihimoimoi]

107. LOL...sorry...I mean FRED....

:toast:
