but I love McCain’s Bazooka Joe imitation. Or Popeye, or whatever. I wish he’d get an eyepatch.

Pixiedust. incredulous, says he recognized her by her blog.
But does he remember the difference between a feminist Baptist and
a Catholic Pro-lifer?
Shia if I know.

Popeye? More like Poopdeck Pappy. They have the same squinky eye.
Comment by happyfeet on 5/12 @ 9:07 am #
Her jacket picks up the stripes in his tie. Maybe it’s just my monitor.
Comment by TaiChiWawa on 5/12 @ 9:14 am #
Isn’t that his daughter?
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 9:18 am #
Semen – Is it too much to ask for you to type your gibberish in English, just once?
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 9:20 am #
TaiChiWawa – Sparkle is hot, but McCain’s daughter … oooo la la.
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 5/12 @ 9:25 am #
JD: I’m pretty sure McCain’s daughter isn’t French.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 9:28 am #
Yeah, neither am I. My eyes work quite well though, you racist Godbotherer.
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 5/12 @ 9:30 am #
Don’t forget Economic Oppressor. My dad worked real hard for me to carry that mantle.
Comment by MayBee on 5/12 @ 9:32 am #
I had to click the link to find out who Kathleen is. It was a lot of work, but worth it.
Comment by Dan Collins on 5/12 @ 9:35 am #
If he were shorter, he’d look a little like Simon bar Sinister.
Comment by marko v. cheney on 5/12 @ 9:38 am #
Actually, Pope Benedict looks a lot like SbS.

Not to suggest anything untoward, but I’d hit it.
Comment by MayBee on 5/12 @ 9:49 am #
I wasn’t teasing you, TaiChiWaWa. I seriously had no idea who was this Kathleen lady.
Comment by Dan Collins on 5/12 @ 9:53 am #
That’s true, marko.
Comment by MayBee on 5/12 @ 9:55 am #
But I do know RWS and think she is beautiful.
Comment by Lisa on 5/12 @ 9:56 am #
That is lady who runs Rightwingsparkle, right? She is the Kathy Griffin of the internets.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 9:57 am #
MayBee – I have always thought that you and RWS would get along quite well. You are more tolerant of the salty language than she, but a great gal nonetheless.
Comment by Lisa on 5/12 @ 10:00 am #
He does look funny. He is probably hoping those crazy broads from the “It’s Raining McCain” video don’t show up and grab his junk.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 5/12 @ 10:02 am #
Maybe RWS should do a “McCain Girl” video. Like “Obama Girl”, only way more classy?
Comment by Lisa on 5/12 @ 10:02 am #
Her head is at an odd angle, but she doesn’t look unattractive, IMHO.
Comment by happyfeet on 5/12 @ 10:11 am #
Yeah it was a lot my monitor at home I think. So there’s that then. What I’m not seeing in that pic is that she’s shaking the hand of the next president. I’m gonna try squinting.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 5/12 @ 10:15 am #
Maybe Benedict is Simon’s “good twin”?
Comment by MayBee on 5/12 @ 10:16 am #
You are a big sweetie, JD.
Comment by McGehee on 5/12 @ 10:25 am #
I’d say more Bazooka Joe than Popeye or his pappy. His chin doesn’t stick out in two directions like Popeye’s does.
I do: Catholic pro-lifers exist.
Comment by McGehee on 5/12 @ 10:27 am #
What we need is a picture of Benedict and Bill Clinton together.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 10:27 am #
MayBee – I have my moments, though they are few and far between.
Comment by Carin -BONC on 5/12 @ 10:30 am #
RWS’s McCain love goes way back. I ‘member when we used to make fun of it at Ace’s.
Whose laughing now?
Comment by Cowboy on 5/12 @ 10:30 am #
My wife takes bad pictures. She has this wonderful quality wherein her face is so animated, especially in conversation, that freezing it in a picture always diminishes her beauty. Maybe RWS is like that too.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 10:38 am #
Carin – it is still completely acceptable to make fun of her McCain-love. ;-)
Comment by Poopdeck John McCain on 5/12 @ 10:39 am #
Yar! I be a smooth pimp, matey!
Comment by daleyrocks on 5/12 @ 10:47 am #
RWS is a class act, unlike myself.
Comment by Rightwingsparkle on 5/12 @ 11:07 am #
>i>RWS’s McCain love goes way back. I ‘member when we used to make fun of it at Ace’s.
Whose laughing now?
Indeed! Thanks for all the kind words, but it is an AWFUL pic. I am laughing (maybe at those at Ace’s?) and they caught it just as was tilted back. And McCain does look like a pirate, but I don’t care. I LOVE IT ANYWAY!
Comment by Rightwingsparkle on 5/12 @ 11:09 am #
Now I’m determined to get another picture. AND I WILL.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 11:30 am #
Have no doubt, folks. RWS is nothing if not persistent, and kind, and hot …
Comment by Salt Lick on 5/12 @ 11:37 am #
That’s a funny-looking handshake. Are you tickling his palm? Maybe signaling you’re a female Mason?
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 11:40 am #
RWS is right it is an awful picture.
asymmetry flags for health problems in the visual cortex.
mccain already looks old, he should avoid looking crippled or ill.
Comment by Carin- on 5/12 @ 11:42 am #
You know … I see it … the look in his eyes as if he really doesn’t remember who RWS is … OMG, WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
Comment by happyfeet on 5/12 @ 11:43 am #
That’s distasteful.
Comment by Carin- on 5/12 @ 11:47 am #
Happy, nishi’s evaluation of McCain is PURELY medical. I think its one of those skills they teach transhumans. I think I’ll send her a picture of me … I have this problem with my foot.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 11:55 am #
sry.
there are all kinda flags to the visual cortex. it is like visual subliminals.
there has been a lot of sentiment data collected.
symmetry is attactive and healthy.
fair or light skin in women is associated with youth and fertility.
dark skin and hair in men is associated with virility.
there’s tons of this stuff.
Comment by MayBee on 5/12 @ 11:58 am #
Isn’t symmetry also very rare? It’s one reason models need to know their angles. And Barbara Walters will only be photographed from one side.
Comment by B Moe on 5/12 @ 12:00 pm #

I’ll bet somebody could use that in advertising and make a lot of money!
Comment by maggie katzen on 5/12 @ 12:01 pm #
weekend’s over folks, please refrain from engaging the typing telephone pole.
Comment by cranky-d on 5/12 @ 12:05 pm #
Symmetry is incredibly rare, and my not in fact exist. Everyone has a better side.
I believe there have been experiments done where they reflect one half of a face onto the other side. It looks very strange. We expect a certain amount of asymmetry in people’s faces.
Comment by cranky-d on 5/12 @ 12:08 pm #
Having said that, McCain has that cheek thing going on on the left side of his face that falls outside the normal expected asymmetry range. I guess that happened as a result of surgery for melanoma. Either way, I would not hold that against him. If you live long enough, you acquire all sorts of “bonus features” on your body. The only way to be beautiful forever is to die before you’re 22.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 12:14 pm #
you persist in thinkin this is some kind of a personal judgement.
i am just saying how visual cortex works.
and you are fools if you don’t think all the campaigns totally aware of this.
Comment by Dan Collins on 5/12 @ 12:15 pm #
The rear?
Comment by SarahW on 5/12 @ 12:17 pm #
Cranky, that’s exactly where the squint is from, his surgery did a number on his face. That doesn’t mean he can’t outrrun me or clean my soduku clock. But an eyepath might add just the needed cache.
Speaking of taste, I hope the rumored VP pick is not old Huckabeen.
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 5/12 @ 12:17 pm #
Michelle says Barack is “stinky.” I think he might have leprosy.
Comment by maggie katzen on 5/12 @ 12:19 pm #

Comment by happyfeet on 5/12 @ 12:23 pm #
Huckabee is the one thing that would make me say aw whatever screw it let the freaking gimpy socialist have it.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 12:25 pm #
nishit feels comfortable making a diagnosis from a still picture, but goes batshit krazy (nothing new) that Sen. Frist would make an observation based on a videotape. That the irony is not incapacitating is not the least bit surprising, given the source.
Comment by Karl on 5/12 @ 12:32 pm #
i like that nishi leapt right in as predicted in comment #4
just like a robot, a drone
lulz
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 5/12 @ 12:34 pm #
but goes batshit krazy (nothing new) that Sen. Frist would make an observation based on a videotape.
It’s even funnier when you consider that Frist is, in fact, a doctor, while nishi has no qualifications in…well…anything.
Comment by Karl on 5/12 @ 12:34 pm #
Also, pirates are very Mavericky. With no Capt. Jack Sparrow this summer, McCain could easily take that niche. He doesn’t look anywhere near as old as Jack’s dad, Keith Richards (Lord of the Undead).
Comment by Carin- on 5/12 @ 12:42 pm #
And Barbara Walters will only be photographed from one side.
The rear?
The inside.
Maybe McCain should resort to Barbara’s trick of putting a thin layer of vasaline on the camera lense when photographed.
you persist in thinkin this is some kind of a personal judgement.
i am just saying how visual cortex works.
and you are fools if you don’t think all the campaigns totally aware of this.
We’re judging YOU for acting as if it’s perfectly ok that people (two digits?) vote based on the candidates appearance. Because, I think you buy into it as well.
Comment by Rob Crawford on 5/12 @ 12:46 pm #
Ya know, if the people thought like nishit, Lincoln would never have been elected.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 5/12 @ 12:47 pm #

Actually, it was Katie Couric who had the inside of her rear photographed.

actually, i dont think it is ok. but it is true that higher IQ people will research the issues enough to overcome the first impression imperative of visual cortext.
others, not so much.
it is just how it is.
you can’t fight biology.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 12:55 pm #
Spies – That was just all kinds of wrong, on soooooooo many levels. I have to go bleach my mind’s eye now. Thanks.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 5/12 @ 1:00 pm #
nishi: you can’t fight biology.
Yes, that’s why all the Presidents look like Brad Pitt or Matt Damon rather than, say, Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson.
Idiot.
JD: glad to be of help. Heh.
Comment by JD on 5/12 @ 1:00 pm #
it is true that higher IQ people
That is demonstrably not true, as the higher income and IQ groups are voting for Baracky. But, nice try.

Another word: idiot.
Despite your gross ignorance of anything that happened before this morning, television did exist during the Johnson and Nixon administrations.
Really!

Do not engage the Genocidal Telephone Pole.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 1:21 pm #
Huckabee is actually a good candidate for VP.
The portion of the republican electorate that is violently against him is the core intelligentsia and the blogverse.
Far less numerous than the evangelicals, who, btw will never accept Romney.
It is interesting to see K-lo and others propose Romney, while vigorously tapdancing around his unelectability chops.

Sure it wasn’t.

2) When called on it, lie.
3) When called on the lie, spin.

Who is “we”?
Over on the other thread, you just demonstrated yourself to be as brutally ignorant of basic genetics as you are of every other field.
So, yeah, if it’s a choice between keeping my own genes or letting you tinker with them, I’ll play the hand I was dealt. Thanks, though!
Comment by McGehee on 5/12 @ 2:19 pm #
Nishi, math class doesn’t exactly prepare you to argue biology either.
The visual cortex doesn’t judge appearance, it perceives and categorizes, helping the associative functions identify what is seen. Where people may (or may not) prefer symmetry happens elsewhere in the brain.
Apparently in that part you sneezed out when you were five.

mcgeehee wtf are you talkin about?
cognition happens in the neocortex, not the visual cortex.
i’ll be back wednesday when mccain releases his long delayed medical reports, hehe.
or even if he doesn’t.
Comment by fahs ibair on 5/12 @ 4:21 pm #
Nishi, How did your scheduled appointment with your “potential sperm broadcaster” turn out? Did you remember to toss it in a blender with some symmetric gene therapy potion® before, uh, application?
Comment by Rob Crawford on 5/12 @ 4:34 pm #
That’s what he said, idiot.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/12 @ 5:59 pm #
well we aren’t talking about cognition.
we are talking about visual cortex first layer pattern recognition.
at least i was.
look…Allah shows the way.
haha, i couldn’t resist.
and….i bet the VP announcement correlates with the release of mccains med reports.
any takers?

“TaiChiWawa – Sparkle is hot, but McCain’s daughter … oooo la la.”
McCain’s daughter? Ahhh…So-so.
OK. This will probably earn me PW probation, but I wish (two words I’ve been using a lot lately) that I was thirty years younger and took Jenna Bush to a keg party, got her drunk, and then porked her brains out, endlessly.
I really wouldn’t want to own her. Just borrow her for a day or two.
It is so great to be old enough to be such a useless pig without having to offer any apologies. The first real bright spot I’ve found in my fade to blue.
Comment by The Lost Dog on 5/13 @ 1:25 am #
Karl
Keith Richards has a house about a mile form where I live. He is one of the only people left in the world that i would be excited about playing music with.
The first time I met him was in the local grocery store, and he appeared to be about three and a half feet tall and to have been dead for at least ten years. Not only that, he was riding a girl’s bicycle!
Oh! How the mighty have fallen! I was absolutely certain that he was at least ten feet tall.
I still beg him to come down and play, though. I just hope he gives me a heads up if he finally does, so I can wear a blindfold. He really is an unsettling sight. (sorry, Keith)
Comment by The Lost Dog on 5/13 @ 1:47 am #
OK. OK.
Nishi says:
“Blah balah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah balah blah.
Blah blah blah blatiddy blah blah blah blah blah”
I’m sorry, Nish…But you remind me of the Farside cartoon about the guy berating his dog.
Please learn some English. I know it’s a tough request, but it might help you deal with the real world, and also make it easier to understand what you are trying to say.
If you want to text somebody, use your cell phone, and send it to another cell phone. It’s much more amusing to me when you use the English language to comment, instead of TTL (Teenie Text Language).
Really. The english language is suffering enough without you drawing more blood from it every time I read one of your comments.
