All About McCain - Page 141

UGH, I just got my first pro-McCain email - sent by a distant work connection to my WORK EMAIL. And its title is "Black and White: the Critical Issue In this Election." I believe he thinks he's talking about the abortion issue, but if you ACTUALLY want to convince people of your case, you'd better not imply that race is the issue at hand.

I've always wanted to be infamous.

The video is amusing, but if that were to really happen, why would we be mad at Steve Z. (I didn't realize until just now that the story was customized to be our Steve Z.) instead of the 60 million people that would have voted for McCain?

I'm suddenly reminded of this sketch

Interesting. Brings to mind an account I heard of another McCain event where they came on with the, "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing John McCain & Sarah Palin!!" dropped the house lights, cranked up Eye of the Tiger...and nothing. Some awkward silence, Eye of the Tiger back on....nothing. Then, 45 minutes later, music came back on and the Straight Talk Express bus rolls onto the floor of whatever venue this was at. I wonder if the bus had a flat. Or maybe they were waiting for Joe to show up and fix the toilet.

Speaking of Joe - have you heard the new Mike Diamond plumbing radio spots? Too funny...

....there's been a lot of talk about plumbers lately... they go on to talk about how they know all about the stuff that politicians sling around... and they finish up by saying that they have 6 Joe's on staff. If you prefer a Joe, let us know.

That fvcking innerSpaceman! I knew this would happen if he went to the movies with Obama.

McCain: Obama is not a socialist

What what what?!? Say it ain't so, John!

Meanwhile

Quote:

KING: He says, it's only the personal income tax. If you run a store, if you make $250,000 or more, as a personal income, not a business income, that's where he's (INAUDIBLE).
MCCAIN: And that's where his folks just reduced it to $200,000. And then Sen. Biden yesterday said $150,000. And the fact is that if Joe the Plumber is able to buy the business that he works in, the guy that he buys it from is going to see an increase in capital gains taxes. They're going to see an increase in payroll taxes. They're going to see -- if he reaches a certain level, an increase in his income taxes. And that's what got people concerned. That's what's got Joe the Plumber upset. He wants to redistribute the money.

Phew, that's better. For a second I thought he was going to start ACTUALLY doing that "straight talking" thing. Good to know he's still on his lying game.

Lawreence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State who has endorsed McCain, on Sarah Palin's readiness:

Quote:

It is a very good question. I'm being facetious here. Look, of course not... Give her some time in the office and I think the answer would be, she will be [pause] adequate. I can't say that she would be a genius in the job. But I think she would be enough to get us through a four year... well I hope not... get us through whatever period of time was necessary. And I devoutly hope that it would never be tested.
