So the latest rumor according to the Enquirer is that John Edwards has some kind of love child. But you know what? Who cares? It’s not like I would ever have voted for a guy who spends $400 on a haircut. Obviously he's off my list if he ever runs again at some point.

I need a president I can relate to. Someone I could drink a beer with, enjoy a rape joke with or enter my wife into a pickle sucking contest with.  

Not some pansy who spends hundreds of dollars for something he could've gotten for $20.

But seriously, how could I relate to an arugala eating elitist like Obama?

No, no presidents of the Harvard Law Review for me, too "intellectual". Smart Americans want a REAL man, someone who got to where he is through hard work and determination.

A man like George Bush.

A man like John McCain.

With that in mind, the McCain campaign has started creating t-shirts, banners and bumper-stickers with the following slogan:

John McCain: A Guy You Could Crash A Plane With

That's awesome.  Have TYT print up the t-shirts.

I'd love it (none / 0)
Sadly, it'd be too obscure for most people.

Have you heard? (none / 0)
Tim Pawlenty wants John McCain to be more like Barack Obama. He says "Say what you want about Obama, but people gravitate to you when you have something positive to say". Of course, McCain is positive too, he adds. mm hmm. sure.

That's hilarious (none / 0)
McCain is positive too, just less positive.

We really need an edit feature (none / 0)
for posts.

Anyway, I was going to add that I never realized that's how you spell "pawlenty". I'd seen it before but it never clicked.

I know, a pointless point but that's why we need an edit feature.

I'm gonna let dave off the hook (none / 0)
about editing posts. We can edit our blog posts and that should be good enough. The drawbacks outweigh the benefits of editing forum responses, if you think about it. For instance, after delivering a verbal spanking to Ken, he can't go back to edit his original post. His incoherence remains there for all to behold and appreciate. I can tolerate a misspelled word here and there.

I don't blame Dave (none / 0)
I agree, there are pros and cons.  That's why the editing period would be limited, like with DIGG, they give you like 60 seconds or something after you post.

Often times that's when it hits you, right after you post you pull a homer (Doh!) and wish you could change something.

bring on the comparison! (none / 0)
A young man who served his country honorably, against a young man who admitted to extensive drug use to anesthetize his hatred towards his country. The matchup offers potential.

Huh? (none / 0)
What does that have to do with the McCain campaign's new slogan?

Barack Obama: A Guy You Can Smoke Crack With

Except that he never smoked crack (none / 0)
but John McCain actually did crash planes.

Oh but I know, conservatives never let facts get in the way.

Obama described his drug use. (none / 0)
It was very extensive. He snorted coke when he could afford it, but he often had to use the cheaper stuff. Crack!

The GOP: We Never Have to Buy the Cheap Stuff (none / 0)
Bush did coke too (which I know you'll deny), so I guess what matters is the quality of the drugs you're doing, right?  Coke was a designer yuppie drug when Bush was doing it, whereas crack is a real blue collar working man's drug.  Cracky for POTUS!

by Spencer on 08/07/2008 12:47:37 AM EST

Coke too... (none / 0)
or Coke II?

I'm not sure which is worse.

Of course he can't (none / 0)

Shocking (none / 0)
First time that's happened to Ken.

by ihavenobias on 08/07/2008 11:12:51 AM EST

[ Parent ]
No (none / 0)
But don't you see why this is a losing issue? First off, because he didn't use crack.

But if you're an idiot that believes that, you can't *also* believe that he's an out of touch elitist (you know, the kinda guy that wears $520 Italian Loafers).

CHOOSE ONE.

We already have drug guy (none / 0)
he's in the White House as we speak. 

So if Ken accepts his own illogical smear attempt, how can he also support George Bush (aka former coke snortin' alcoholic)?

Hey All (none / 0)
Don't forget, Cheney was drunk on his ass when the Sherriff came, so they had to wait until he had his morning coffee before he could oblige them, about 12 hours later.  What's the difference they're all drugs and they'll all put you on your ass.

I hear the National Enquirer is hiring (none / 0)
But maybe they want someone who can come up with fresh news instead of just repeating shit from the media's lunatic fringe that can't be verified.

[ Parent ]
Not to defend Ken but (none / 0)
I'm guessing the Enquirer's standards aren't that high. With that said if they did hire Ken he'd just *barely* squeeze by.

Of course his fall back could be working for the Drudge Report.

Oddly enough (none / 0)

Sounds like the last election huh? Bush doing drugs and skipping military service while Kerry went out to war.

We know how that one turned out. Bring on the comparison indeed!

In fact, continuing the theme of parallels in the 2 elections, the dems could even do a swiftboat on McCain's military record. Have videos of planes crashing, then say something about other "crashes" and show images from the stock market crash that brought the great depression, get the viewer to really react to "crashes" negatively. Then show McCain, and add "Hes CRASHED 5 planes, do you want his next CRASH to be...AMERICA?" DUN DUN DUN! Show a plane with an American flag all over it crashing then the gas prices going up and the value of the dollar going down. Maybe a chaotic scene at wall street again or a picture of McCain with Bush. Election over.

Don't talk about religion or politics, my ass!

Great idea! (none / 0)

"Hes CRASHED 5 planes, do you want his next CRASH to be...AMERICA?" DUN DUN DUN! "

I love that add.  They need to do it.  It's so...Republican.

If only the election were in January (none / 0)
We could make that a Christmas card. You know, the kind that plays music when you open it.

In this case the Dun, Dun, DUNNNN would play when you open the card to reveal a America engulfed in the flames of debt and mismanagement.

Another great comparison (none / 0)
894/896 in your graduating class in Annapolis vs. president of the Harvard Law Review.

Stop smearing McCain (none / 0)
But seriously, I thought it was out of 899, that he was 5 from the bottom?

by ihavenobias on 08/07/2008 08:35:39 AM EST

[ Parent ]
I think he was 5th from bottom (none / 0)
Is it better to be the 894th smartest or the 5th dumbest in your class?  It's one of those "glass half full/glass half empty questions".
