Is there anything more stupid or transparently cynical than John "media creation" McCain accusing the media of biased coverage? Luckily I’m on the campaign’s potential-donor email list — I registered benevolenthegemon.johnmccain.com — and so this arrived today:
McCain Team –
It’s pretty obvious that the media has a bizarre fascination with Barack Obama. Some may even say it’s a love affair. We want you to be the judge. We’ve compiled two videos of the more outrageous moments of this not so secret love affair. Follow this link to watch the two videos and vote on which one you think is better. Your vote will determine which video we put on the air.
The media is in love with Barack Obama. If it wasn’t so serious, it would be funny.
John, it’s not like that. We have sex with Barack Obama. We make love to you.

So, Spencer, good to see you!
How can they be in love with Barack? He hasn’t even cooked ribs for them or anything!
I’ll be damned – and I thought the media had given their hearts ta Johnie? Fuckin two timin bastards!
Lou Dobbs poll question last night, is the media unfaily biased in favor of Barack Obama? 73% said yes. Not sure what kind of people watch Lou, but I was still amazed at the stupidity of people.
John, it’s not like that….. We make love to you.
Ummm, no, I
don’twon’t.I don’t think that even the lovely and talented Mrs. McLame should be subjected to such a thing….
Blechhh…
Lou Dobbs is really really gonna be pissed if McCain isn’t elected to build his fence on the mexican canadian border.
OT – CSpan running press conference with Sen. Jack Reid, Chuck Hager and Obama on their tour of Iraq and Afganistan.
and we’ll respect you in the morning
Spencer you are a wild man and Chait is lucky all you did was pants his pasty ass
Actually I don’t know why McCain’s camp is whining.
If McCain were covered more, he would look worse what with all the stupidity flowing out of his mouth. When he takes his Stupid Pill, he sounds like an automaton quoting Campaign Cliches: I know all about foreign policy. I have had the full support of Foreign Policy organizations for years. I’m John McCain.
Gosh, Barack has barely even eaten bacon in front of camera’s! Besides, McSame actually ought to be glad the media isn’t paying him much attention; every time they do, he makes a gaff, which they rarely call him on. Just yesterday he referenced the ”Iraq/Pakistan border”, yet you didn’t see anyone taking him to task or any journalist who happened to be present correcting him publicly. Corrections reserved for his cohorts, Liarman and Graham. If Obama had said something so mindless and stupid, you can bet McBush’s surrogates would have jumped up and down to alert the media that this was a sign that Obama didn’t have a clue about the ME. Yet somehow, McBush gets by with it, kinda like good old Ronnie used to. Just what this country needs: a combination including only the worst characteristics of both Reagan and Bush Jr. in the WH.
Exactly. But the whores would cover for McInsane anyway.
Obama SHOULD eat bacon in front of the cameras–to debunk the “he’s a muslim” argument.
Forgive my ignorance…muslims don’t eat bacon either? I thought that was a kosher thing?
The kind with only ONE eyebrow. That’s the tell-tale sign.
From a pig hate website:
Is Pork Forbidden to Muslims Only?
The Jews and Christians are also forbidden from eating pork. Here is a quote from the Old Testament to that effect: “And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.” Deuteronomy 14:8
Many Christians believe that this verse was directed only at the Jews. But Jesus himself says during the Sermon on the Mount; “Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Some Christians say that, after a vision by St. Peter, God cleansed all animals and made them fit and lawful for human consumption. If ALL animals are cleansed by Peter’s vision, this includes dogs, cats, vultures, and rats: but you just don’t see people getting excited about a cat-meat sandwich like they do over barbecued pork or bacon. Others say that it was Paul who rescinded the law forbidding pork to humans, in order to appease the Romans, who enjoyed the taste of pig-meat. Many excuses have been given, but none are very sound.
a little background for ya
There’s some footage of a McLame Town Hall meeting up today on MSNBC. Whole lotta wrinkly, old white folks seem to be the primo audience for these Town Hall meetings.
I’m thinkin’ that love affairs and/or sex isn’t high on the list of issues these folks are interested in….
P.S. Tim Pawlenty up now – looks like he’s taken Walt Frazier and Keith Hernadez’ advice and has been using some Hair Color for Men… But props where due – the man can sure parrot some talking points.
what in the hell did I do to get on the awaiting Mod approval list ??
dosido at #9, my favorite was “I know what the Iraqi’s want! They don’t want us to leave!” This just as several of their top politicians, both Shia and Sunni, publicly come out in favor of a timetable for us out of there! I’ve even heard surrogates say that they are only saying this for local consumption, but they really don’t mean it, and if they do, it’s only because they don’t realize the consequences. What is so incongruous about that is that we’re talking about the “cradle of civilization,” a land that is used to governing themselves for several thousand more years than we have existed. We’re talking about the first country to publish or post their laws, the Code of Hammurabi. Yet we have the nerve to treat them like they have no political expertise at all. Very interesting!
Ya didn’t mention the McClenis, did ya?
I approve of your comments.
Tee hee. The Obama-Reed-Hagel press conference looked to me like a perfect opportunity to compare Obama’s Middle East trip to McCain’s from March. Click my name.
You’d think the anti-pork thing would unite us, but alas.
707!
Hi Ann! Good of you to comment.
Temptress, thy name is bacon.
The BBQ media covers McCain
To the shovels and start Digging this post!
Genesis 9:
1. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moves upon the earth, and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.
3. Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4. Only flesh with the life thereof, that is, the blood thereof, you shall not eat.
Deuteronomy 1
1. These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, …
Deuteronomy 14
4. These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5. The hart, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the buffalon, the rockgoat, the mountain goat.
6. Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof divided into two parts and chews the cud among the animals, that you shall eat.
8. As you quoted.
What God gives Moses takes away. What’s up with that?
The buffalon is a genetically modified buffalo.
I don’t know about anyone else but I wouldn’t mind being on top after eight years of ankle grabbing.
Sonsabitches.
Has anyone yet seen anything remotely relate to the Left on C-span in it’s entirety??
C-span and Brian Lamb couldn’t be bigger Right-Wing supporters/hacks if we paid them- oh, that’s right those are OUR air waves that OUR dollars pay for their bullshit.
Just now C-span cameras aired Obama’s press conference after the Afghan/Iraq trip. Just as they aired McCains overseas trips. OK so far.
The difference? C-span cut off the sound of all of the questioners. Dozens of reporters from all over the world and we heard nary a one of them.
Versus McCains where every word was clearly shown, and repeated all day -day after day.
Not one of the cable gang are focusing on the Hagle/Obama/Reed press conferences for more than just a minute or two, where on CNN I just heard more of McCains same-o speech.
And one more sign of that ‘favoritism’??
Yahoo has an article today calling the Obama’s trip overseas a “road show”.
http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/…..f0cb6006f/
Dead troops, dead Iraqis, Palestinians and Israelis – three top Senators working towards peace and these yahoo f**king hack writer call it a ’show’??
Only a Right-winger would stoop to ever write such a thing.
My motivations for becoming a journalist involve bacon-wrapped scallops.
I see you have your standards, no cocktail weinies for you!
LOL!
Excuse me, I understand the ranting, but it may just be displaced. For one thing, the only place I can find a video of a panel called ““FISA: SAFEGUARDING BOTH SECURITY AND FREEDOM” put on by the Center for American Progress. Spencer was one of the panelists for one of the sessions, and I was very impressed with both sessions.
Secondly, my understanding is that while McSame and many other Congressional delegations bring their own press with them, for some reason, Obama has not exactly done that. He is probably being overly sensitive to charges that the whole trip is nothing but a huge photo opportunity, so he’s leaving the documentation of the trip activities to the armed forces. I was really rather pissed about Andrea Mitchell’s bitching about not being able to really verify anything about the tour because “there was no ‘real’ journalist there.” I know that many have said that all the anchors have followed Obama’s trip and each will get their own interview (the first was on Sunday, on Face the Nation, with Lara Logan.) Supposedly, yet to come is an interview with Charlie, Katie, and Brian, but still, who knows why all we’re getting is Armed Forces press reports.
OK, I am going to be sick. “We make love to you” (McSame). Virtually the same thing as necrophilia. Ugh.
I mean, really — puff pastry?
What if I put on some slow jams?
That first sentence was supposed to reference C-Span as the only place I could find video of that panel. I like C-Span and think they perform a public service by maintaining their archives!
You could be mine, baby….
One word: tapeworms.
Eeeeww. Nuff said.
Of course, with cattle and goats you get Mad Cow or Scrapies. Pick your prion – unlike a tapeworm, you can’t cook the nasty out of either.
Ah…but does your “anti-pork” thing include hatred or disregard for pigs? An wonderful animal every bit as intelligent (or even more so) than a dog?
Does it? DOES IT?!!
This always seemed like a pretty good admonition to tribesmen who may have observed, over a long period of time, the effects of trichinosis, without knowing the cause. Maybe today we could work on something about cloven-hoofed Twinkies in order to effect childhood obesity.
Whoa, it’s on C-Span? Sorry in advance for the cursing. I wonder if I’ll get bleeped or muted.
It does! IT DOES!!
Pigs make awful pets. I had a girlfriend once who grew up on a farm and knew people with pot-bellied pigs for pets. Apparently this was a mid-90s fad; who knew.
I’m too often out of line.
Ha! I got the same email this morning, and could hardly believe it.
I signed up for the McCain newsletter at his site, using a special email address just for the purpose. I wanted to see if I started getting onto those sleazy chain email lists, so I could prove that an address only known to the campaign was being farmed out to 526es. All I have gotten so far is that ridiculous email, though.
Why you nasty little “Babe” hater! BABE HATER BABE HATER!
If I can paraphrase Rudy Giuliani, this is an illness you have.
Damn, you were the one who got to the Hilton’s Executive Suite and snarfed up all the hot hors d’ouevres ahead of me, weren’t you??
You left only a couple handfuls of pork-swathed seafood in the hot dish after a long afternoon of networking with NN08′rs.
Bad boy. Bad.
Mc Cain is loosing it. He thinks he is still in Vietnam. He is mixing up key facts which is a clear indication that his judgement is impaired.Sudan is not Somalia- Iraq & Pakistan do not share a border- Al Qaeda is not trained in Iran- Shites are not Sunnis and now the surge predated the Anbar Awakening- This guy should not be thinking about retirement not the Presidency
