McSame's Dilemma

Gramps has a problem on his hands and even the generally uninquistive outlets like CNN are picking up on it.

Its this: McSame is deathly afraid of being McSame/Bush III, but he is, in fact, on the President's side a vast majority (upper 90s percent-wise. To avoid being McSame, he has to try to stake out some "Mavericky" positions. But in doing so, he's running smacking into "flip flop" territory because of how closely tied he's been to the President, presumably to pump up his bona findes with the Republican base.

So therein lies the dilemma: Flip Flopper, or McSame?

Funny -- Not Suitable for Work -- But Funny

Sad. And Funny. Sad, that he did it. Funny that he thinks that supporters of the first truly viable female candidate for president, will support him.

Reprise of McSame's "On the Transcendent Issues" . . . I'm "McBush"

Great video mixup of McSame's Lime-Green-Jello speech and his Meet the Press appearance.

Its like that old "Bush v. Bush" video where he debates himself.

McSame needs to get used to the idea that YouTube can neatly document his lies.

Grampy McFlip Flop

Hard to tell if he's the "McSame" as Bush on this one -- because he's doing 180 degree turns on his position.

Now there's a "maverick" with principle:

Same BS Propaganda and Lying as Bush

As you might have heard, Grampy McSame has "challenged" Obama to a series of town-hall debates. The idea is that "regular folks" come to these things and ask questions that are truly on their minds, instead of on the minds of the punditry.

Gramps invited Obama to the NYC inaugural Town Hall with the express promise that the audience would be filled with regular voters.

Turns out, that was a lie. JS McSame stacked the deck with invited republican guests and supporters.

Faux News, of all outlets (perhaps because they have the pipeline to the JS McSame campaign) reported the admitted lies:

Video of McSame "We're the Same"

As noted below, a great Meet the Press clip in which McCain argues that he is the same as Bush on all important issues.

An instance of the "primary dance" interests conflicting with the "general dance" interests.

But, of course, if you are a "Maverick" then its not a flip flop.

You be the judge -- what does the "straight talker" say?

McAngry

"Not Too Important" that Soldiers Come Home

Grampy confirms that its A-OK that the soldiers stay in Iraq, maybe 4-Evah?

Grampy SAYS He's the McSame

Grampy says that he IS the McSame:

[O]n the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.

- John Sydney McCain, June 19, 2005 on Meet the Press.

H/t Oliver Willis.

Still looking for this video . . .

Grampy to Veto Beer!!! Say it isn't So!

Gramps slipped up in a speech recently, and said that he'd "veto every single BEER."

Bet his wife couldn't be too happy about that:



Also, had he not "corrected" himself, he might have found an issue on which he and Bush disagreed.

You would't find "W" (stands for "Wasted") vetoing any beers:

Gramps Lying or Senile?

From Atrios and the Daily Kos:

Maverick "straight talker" Grampy McSame lied to Newsweek -- or is it another "Senior Moment."

In an interview with Newsweek, John McCain tries to back away from his recent criticism of the media:

Q: Want to back up a little bit and talk about press coverage. One of the things that you mentioned in your speech in New Orleans was that you felt that the media hadn't recognized or had overlooked some of the attributes that Hillary Clinton had brought to the race. And I wondered—

MCCAIN: I did not [say that]—that was in prepared remarks, and I did not [say it]—I'm not in the business of commenting on the press and their coverage or not coverage...I can't change any of the coverage that I know of except to just campaign as hard as I can and try to seek the approval of the majority of my fellow citizens.

The problem is, he did say it (video from redlasso):

Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage. The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans and she deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes receives.

How do you get the rep as a "straight talker" when you lie so transparently to the media? I guess you develop that rep before the era of YouTube.

McSame Old Song

McSame = Bush III. One wonders if the three will get together and call each other "41" "43" and well, OK, so Obama won't be at that group hug to be called "44" and Grampy McSame certainly won't be 44.

Grampy McPainful

McCain's speach was god-awful.

1. Green background?
2. Ripping off Obama's Slogan?
3. Creepy smiles?
4. Green Background?
5. 16 sleeping Octogenarians in the audience?

Puh. Thet. Ick.
