In all fairness to McCain, and this is why this scandal is bullshit...

[Wetzelbill]

I mean, he actually looked really uncomfortable while he was boning that lobbyist. I mean REALLY uncomfortable. You could tell that he didn't like what he was doing, because he knew it was wrong, but he's just so damned principled that he looked uncomfortable doing it. Whereas, other politicians who may have been boning lobbyists or cheating on their wives, they wouldn't even have the integrity to look uncomfortable in the first place.

That's just what separates McCain from the rest of us. He's such a great man.

[BOSSHOG]

1. Agreed. He's a Saint on par with that great Man Jimmy Swaggart

[Bake]

18. "I have siiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnned aginst yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!"

Waiting for the Big Weep Confession, of course!

[BOSSHOG]

20. It depends

on what the word fuck means.

[Orrex]

2. I sense sarcasm. Shame on you!

Imagine the nerve, snarkily impugning the character of this titan. You, sir, are unfit even to flip the same flops as The Mighty Maverick!


Shame. Shame. Shame.

[Wetzelbill]

5. I am vociferously against the sarcasm smiley

I think if somebody can't get good sarcasm - or irony for that matter- then they're probably a Republican anyway.

But yes, I didn't want to write this, I knew it was wrong to impugn St. McCain, however, I looked really uncomfortable doing it. Just ask Nick Krystof.

[marylanddem]

3. Yes, the humility, the discomfort, the stoned-out wife by his side

so touching...

[Wetzelbill]

8. I think anybody who names their bus "The Straight Talk Express"

is just asking for a rude comeuppance.

[AlCzervik]

4. Hehe. "I boned her for the surge!"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[blondeatlast]

7. Oooh...

:spank: :thumbsup:

[AlCzervik]

9. i swear i'm *usually* not naughty but this scandal has brought out the bad in me.

[Wetzelbill]

11. oh man, it's like a gift from above

Not since Dick Cheney shot a guy while hunting moronic quail has there been so much material to work with. The jokes write themselves!

[blondeatlast]

16. It's irresistable. Sex, money, stolen husband karma, hypocrisy galore--

how can a mere human who's been beaten down for the past eight years help herself?

You are forgiven.

[Wetzelbill]

10. Well McCain does personify himself as Barry Goldwater meets The Beaver

or so Cliff Schecter says at Huff Post anyway. :)

[blondeatlast]

13. Not funny, but I gotta say it: Barry reportedly couldn't stand McCain. nt

[blondeatlast]

6. Bless his heart, like the Keating meeting, he had no idea this might reflect

badly on him. It was an informative arrangement and how could he know of the corrupt minds of the American people?

(Really, read his book about his Keating debacle--he thought it was all for the good)

[Wetzelbill]

12. I saw some quotes from that

recently. That is one of the dumbest defenses I have ever heard. I guess when you have people lapping up the faux-straightshooter shit they'll believe anything.

[L. Coyote]

14. You are plagiarizing what McCain said, in the Fall of 2004, about Abramoff screwing Indians LOL

while he was covering that up so his free planes rides would not come out.

And we all thought he covered up Abramoff to earn the 2008 berth :rofl:

[blondeatlast]

15. See how self-sacrificing he is? How heroic? In order to research the intimate

relationship of K Street to DC politicians, this maverick took one for the team and DECIDED AHEAD OF TIME that he wouldn't enjoy it!

Whatta man!

[blondeatlast]

17. I am painfully uncomfortable that we are mocking Senator McCain.

Note the painful look on my face as I peruse this thread, lured in by the siren call of Wetzelbill.

I won't laugh as I take one for the team. I mean it.

[Bake]

19. And after Cindy combed his hair, fercryinoutloud, for all those years!!

Think about it ...

Bake

[stahbrett]

21. McCain to Iseman: "Say hello to my friend!" (nm)

[Bake]

24. Don't you mean "my LITTLE friend?"

:rofl:

Bake

[stahbrett]

25. lol - thought about adding that in, but i didn't know how to type in a fake spanish accent! :D

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. This whole affair is just plain torture to McCain and his family

Just torture, shame on the media to torture these folks.

[bdamomma]

23. the GOP machine is in rove overdrive.

stinks to me.

[Virginia Dare]

26. Think of the children...

:spank: bad DU, bad bad bad.

[Laurab]

27. A great, great man...I'm so glad you posted this.

And, the best part about this non-scandal is that it wasn't a man or a teenaged boy - it was an actual female. He is far and above better than most republicans, not only because he's principled like that, I mean, he's almost TOO principled. The integrity shines from the top of his balding head.....

I'm sure none of that uncomfortable look came from the fact that his wife is really, really RICH, either.


I guess on edit I should add: :sarcasm:

[Ichingcarpenter]

28. Boy, did this thread go over your head.

[Laurab]

29. Um, no it didn't - I was being sarcastic......

"integrity shines off the top of his balding head"..........

[Ichingcarpenter]

30. "My Friend" I should have taken your statement to a Savings and Loan

but what can I say except:




“I am a war criminal,” McCain said on “60 Minutes” in 1997. “I bombed innocent women and children.”

[Laurab]

31. He's a gem...

What more can I say? :hi:
