John McCain probably was sexually assaulted in the butt during his POW time and is battling the demons ever since. Feel free to cash in that military funeral anytime John, they are spectacular.

Stewarts assessment of "conversation stoppers" is much like Neil Degrasse-Tysons criticism of Richard Dawkins. In that sometimes when you're preaching to people that they're stupid for believing something...they might think you sound like a dick. You'll see hippies in media portrayed by that...lecturing people on how they're wrong instead of engaging them so they're more likely to completely shut down and then it's just John McCain staring at Jon Stewarts chest talking constantly and waiting for the interview to end.

EDIT: Here's the video I was talking about with Neil and Dawkins. Neil Rebukes Dawkins.

I have to wonder what John McCain really thinks of the monster he's created.

madtv is still on the air? Worst McCain impression ever.


But funny!

In other news, John McCain says we should be thanking Bush for having finally brought us Victory in Iraq:

Lawdeedaw "...you’re dancing with a woman you’re buying conspicuous amounts of alcohol and she passes out… You do the little dirty and... Why is that rape? She took the alcohol willingly. You did not lie about anything… Certainly she should have reasonably known and accepted the consequences of her intentional actions; like a drunk driver."
This guy might as well be from Neptune.


You did not notice the sarcasm? You did not quote that I said it was indeed rape? You must be from Neptune but hey, keep lying and down voting me. You must have gotten your lying tongue from your mother? She really must have had loose lips huh? Of course I mean nothing perverted about that, no, not me. Of course it might not have been her, but we cannot trust you on that can we?

Be just like John Mccain and Sara Palin and countless other political people with your folksy "Gotta find the most flaming point and distort it till it is not true." You sir should be in Congress.

According to statistics from the FBI and Arizona police agencies, crime in Arizona border towns has been “essentially flat for the past decade.” For example, “In 2000, there were 23 rapes, robberies and murders in Nogales, Ariz. Last year, despite nearly a decade of population growth, there were 19 such crimes.” The Pima County sheriff reported that “the border has never been more secure.”

FBI statistics show violent crime rates in all of the border states are lower than they were a decade ago — yet Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) reports that the violence is “the worst I have ever seen.” President Obama justifiably asserted last week that “the southern border is more secure today than any time in the past 20 years,” yet Rush Limbaugh judged the president to be “fit for the psycho ward” on the basis of that remark.

Next, there’s Brewer’s claim that “the majority” of people immigrating illegally “are coming here and they’re bringing drugs, and they’re doing drop houses and they’re extorting people and they’re terrorizing the families. That is the truth.”

No, it isn’t. The Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector has apprehended more than 170,000 undocumented immigrants since Oct. 1, but only about 1,100 drug prosecutions have been filed in Arizona in that time.

The claim that illegal immigrants are behind most killings of law-enforcement personnel is also bunk. Arizona state Sen. Sylvia Allen claimed that “in the last few years 80 percent of our law enforcement that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal.” A Phoenix police spokesman told the Arizona Republic’s E.J. Montini that the real figure for killings is less than 25 percent, and that there are no statistics on wounded officers.

So what is this “terrible border security crisis” that Brewer says has only “gotten worse”? She complained recently to Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren about the Obama administration’s handling of the border: “They haven’t did [sic] their job.”

Ya know listening to this again...I can't help but like Bill O'Reillys methods of shutting someone up when they've had their time to speak. This is like when Jon Stewart went after John McCain and McCain just decided to talk while he was talking constantly the entire time and stair at his chest until it was all over.

Overpopulation is not a myth; it is a very real and obvious fact.

And I am always suspect of someone who bashes environmentalists in one breath, and turns around to defend nuclear power--probably the dirtiest and most dangerous forms of power in existence--in the next breath.

Wasn't it the environmentalists who stood opposed to off-shore drilling?

Wasn't it the conservatives like Sarah Palin and John McCain who chanted "drill baby drill?"

Is that a myth, too?

Quinnipiac:

Looking at voters who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement:
* 74 percent are Republicans or independent voters leaning Republican;
* 77 percent voted for Sen. John McCain in 2008;
* 5 percent are solidly independent

"Approximately 45% of Whites either strongly or somewhat approve of the movement. Of those, only 35% believe Blacks to be hardworking, only 45 % believe Blacks are intelligent, and only 41% think that Blacks are trustworthy. Perceptions of Latinos aren’t much different. While 54% of White Tea Party supporters believe Latinos to be hardworking, only 44% think them intelligent, and even fewer, 42% of Tea Party supporters believe Latinos to be trustworthy. When it comes to gays and lesbians, White Tea Party supporters also hold negative attitudes.

Yeah, so many Democrats and Independents in there!! And not a hint of racism to be found!

@rougy, I agree. Especially if they tried to make a song using snippets of a George Bush or John McCain speech.

I'd like to commend myself for not being a child molester.

John McCain has character? Two words: Sarah Palin. Goodbye, John.

You know what, John McCain does have character. More character than 99.99% of all human beings alive on earth today. It's just such a damn shame that none of that character showed up during the last election, and most of it seems to be supressed still. The Republican Party wouldn't ever let that happen, and he comes across as just another stooge for the Neo-Con right.

Damn shame.

Brings back memories, 'eh John McCain?
