Wonkette Gets It Right: McCain Campaigns During "Suspension"

The old gimmick McCain loves is to run standard dirty hyper-partisan campaigns, funded completely by lobbyists (who also literally manage his campaigns). Then, every few weeks, he does some showboat bullshit about being “above politics” or whatever, and an ever-decreasing number of political reporters briefly note this stunt, and then it’s all totally forgotten again.

2. Sick isn't it?

3. I'm repeating myself, but I just can't help myself

it fits in this thread so well.

McCain has suspended his campaign the same way Normie Coleman did after Wellstone was killed.

Norman announced he would suspend his campaign until after the memorial service the following Tuesday. Then he managed to spend the next several days on every morning and political show, both local and national, talking about how he suspened his campaign. The interview on one of the shows (either Good Morning America or Today) where he stood in front of a small plane was especially touching. :puke:

4. I was just thinking about Normie in front of that plane!

I remember seeing that and almost breaking my tv from throwing things at it! Asshole.

5. That stunt alone should keep him from getting reelected

(it should have kept him from being elected in the first place).

7. OMG YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT!

It blows my mind totally that race is so close!

6. Plus, his TV commercials were run last night.

Reported by me and at least one other DUer.

8. The so-called suspension IS part of the campaign

it's a campaign trick (joke)...so it's still campaigning

9. Which our surrogates should be SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS

It irks me how the corp. media ALWAYS falls in with these stupid McCain stunts.

[Solly Mack]

12. Yes, they should be...calling him on it repeatedly

Mocking him and calling him on it

[radfringe]

10. question his "stability"

is it stable to go running off on some don quixote quest without having the correct information?

whether it's snap decisions (Palin pick), running off at the mouth (I'd fire SEC), or running off to DC like mighty mouse "here I come to save the day" or underdog "Have no fear, underdog is here" and then the game playing with yes, I'll debate, no I won't, I will but not if_____...

jesus on toast - somebody rein this guy in - he's all over the place and has worse attention deficit syndrome than a weasel on speed

on second throught - don't rein him in - let him go hog wild and implode

[Supersedeas]

11. the Kelly O'Donnell Free Ride Crew will be all over it

[Disturbed]

13. Tweety called McLiar's stunt "razzle dazzle".

Every time McLiar is losing he conjures up some "razzle dazzle" to deflect that he is a loser.
