I'm Sick and Tired of Hearing about McCain Gaffes!

posted by chrisandyasemin

Actually, no I'm not all that sick of them, they make me laugh (and then I cry thinking of how fucked we'd be if he became president). But c'mon everyone, seriously, is this really news? Is it news that McCain doesn't know where Spain is (that didn't surprise me at all)? It's like how they say in journalism school, dog bites man is not a story, but man bites dog is.

We all expect McCain to fudge up his speeches and facts now, don't we? (Such as Iraq-Pakistan border, Spain in South America, Alaskan national guard shipping out to Iraq, doesn't know how many houses he has, economy is fundamentally strong, Putin is the president of Germany and the list goes on ). It's like reporting on another uplifting Obama speech, yeah, the man can work a crowd. But a real story would be "Obama seriously fudged up his speech and was absolutely unable to inspire a single person in the crowd."

So I urge the news media and bloggers to report  new news!!! The root of the word is "new" so we need something new, tell me something new... Let me help you out with some Headline examples:

  • McCain correctly referred to our neighbors in the North as "Canadians"

  • McCain knows how many kids he has; able to recall the number in a matter of seconds proving to the world he is good with math and thus the economy

  • McCain knows where his head, shoulders, knees and toes are: gains an upper hand in healthcare discussion.

  • McCain demonstrates his foreign policy experience by successfully traveling from Concourse C to Concourse G in the Chicago O'Hare International Airport to board a plane to Mexico.

My answer isnt on the liust (none / 0)
But I love the list none the less lol

What surprises me about Bombin John is the fact that he is still alive. He is older than his years.. beat down.. has cancer... I dont think he is fit mentally or physically to be president.

My opinion is.Keep hitting the voters over the head with his gaffes until they get it. It may take a while but its starting to sink in.

I'm a cranky old man cause ... (none / 0)
no one ever told me that grumpy mcshame owned Spanish giraffes.  Doesn't that funny Jackson singer guy own giraffes?  I bet the Jackson kid's giraffes would beat old man mcshame's in a 100 yard dash.  That's the ticket, a giraffe dash for cash.  Mcshame will bet on anything, and he really likes to bet on high stakes craps.  Sorta like that VP pick he rolled out on stage at the RNC; what a load of crap that was.

I'm a cranky old man, and my fingers hurt from poking at these keys, so let me get back to my Jack Black and my Matlock.   Yeah, that's the ticket; McShame, Matlock, and Maalox.

Yup, Spanish giraffes and Alaskan mosquitoes... (none / 0)
...but get a load of this:  My doctor gave me these pills, see, that work better than Maalox and they don't make near as big a bulge in my pocket.  Besides, no one's going to believe it's an interesting bulge ever again.  Oh, and I've got ten to put on McShame's giraffe.  I hear Jackson's not allowed near them anymore.
