Friday Open Thread: Better Know a McCain

icon_mccain.jpgJohn McCain is so funny, I forgot to laugh.

Remember this belly buster about bombing Iran?

How about that incredible funny he made about killing Iranians with American cigarettes?

Or the now classic Janet Reno-is-Chelsea Clinton’s-father joke?

Wasn’t it hilarious when he called his wife a trollop and a c*nt?

I simply guffawed at this wife beating joke.

And just when I thought he couldn’t top himself, he pulls out this “ape rape” story.

Sign this guy up for Last Comic Standing!

    I told it poorly Odin. My friend is neither of the two involved with the altercation. My friend told the dude what he would do as punishment to ze German.

    Oh, nm, I think I get it. I was just wondering how “your friend” got himself to China. But I think I know now.

    IRE, I totally don’t get the scene shift of the story.

    As for the ideology of China, let me borrow from Thomas P Barnett:

    “[Current Chinese ideology] is about 30 percent Mao, and about 70 percent The Sopranos.”

    China is definitely a severe abuser of human rights, but please be somewhat not making us all look like dumbasses by constantly throwing around the Cold War era “Commie” label.

    Funny story…I heard from this dude who is kind of high up with the Organziing Committee and he said that this German dude bodyslammed a chinese photographer during a press conference because the Chinese dude got in the German’s shot. The German heard from my friend that he had two options, leave the Games and have your career over or tell the dude and his news organization he was sorry because the Commies look at you as a guest here and you don’t mess with them. It was kinda cool.

    I’d like to know how the Gross host committee is feeling about now.

    As penance I think they should all have to say 5 hail mary’s and send a check to either Earl Giddens or Jason Adams or both.

    WHY? these are winnable seats, and both are great Democrats.

    I should have put a stop payment on my Keith Gross check. They just cashed it yesterday!

    Zaid has become an even more repetitive poster than me here. Nice.

    clearly you know absolutely nothing about me.

    Shouldn’t you insult me for not being southern enough or banning fried food or faking a southern accent or something?

    A simple “Idiot” makes you look like an even more pissed off senior citizen than you actually are 🙁

    Peace out dudes. Hopefully I make it back from China and the Commies don’t lock me up.

    I hold my breath on the latter.

    Indeed I can Zaid. I was 100000000000% involved with that.

    Idiot.

    The Georgia Democratic Party’s favorite word is DONATE. They have no idea how to do actual politics, which involves organizing around issues. Hell, Perdue was vastly outspent and took the Governor’s seat by organizing around the f’ing Confederate Flag (I’m sure retread can tell you about his buddies that went out and canvassed on that issue).

    If 80% of Georgians want a boost in the minimum wage, go door to door talking about that (and they do according to the research done at Survey Research Center UGA, and they should).

    While the quality not quantity line is great spin it is a bad thing to do IMO. The thing is that right now we don’t have even a chance of taking back the GA because there aren’t enough candidates.

    Had a DPG canvasser/fundraiser come to our door last night. 1) He said the new leadership was working to get active county-level parties in all counties. Yay! 2) He pointed to Jim Martin getting in the race as one of the wonderful things the party leadership has been working on. Hmmm. 3) I asked him to tell the “leadership” that they should be working on candidate recruitment at the state level, to which he responded that they had really been focussing on “quality, rather than quantity” this cycle. I said, “I don’t see Keith Gross as being a quality candidate.” He was really surprised I knew about that, but admitted it was a screw-up, and assured us that Michelle Conlon would be on the ballot as an Independent. Sigh.

    I’m not so sure what’s sadder, his use of unclassy sadistic humor about Iran at a time when we really need the next President to re-engage with the world, or the Congress authorizing 400 million dollars to pay for terrorists to kill people within in Iran.

    Both groups — McCain GOP and Pelosi Dems — sincerely are making the world a very dangerous place for children and other living things.

    Ya’ know how the iPhone screen changes format when you rotate it? Well, someone has developed an app for it that is like an old Etch-a-Sketch. You draw with your finger and they use that motion technology so that you can erase the screen when you shake the phone.

    Pretty useless, but cool.

    What is great about this election is that this will further deplete the GOP bench, and who ever is VP nominee will likely be a poor candidate.

    As I was reading once, one of the reasons the Republicans are hurting so bad right now is Quayle, Kemp, and Cheyney. Hopefully his Veep will add to that.

    He’s a neanderthal. He’s always been behind the times, even when he was younger.

    I almost missed his backpedal on adoption by same-sex couples. First he said he doesn’t believe in it. Then he said it was okay as a last resort. What a jackass.

    I suppose two years in solitary confinement, interrupted only for the weekly beating, could mess up your sense of humor (among other things). Which is something to sympathize with in a friend or family member, maybe even support in a leader at some level, but also something we should be verrrrrry careful about for the person at the top of the pyramid with the nuclear football always within reach. Congress can’t override squat once that button is pushed.
