Goodbye, Super Tuesday,
You couldn’t hang McCain could you?
When Mitt changed with every new day.
Still I’m gonna miss Hugh.
Limbaugh heard from Dole I heard ‘im say.
Mitt said that was lame, and that’s okay.
Johnny Mac was pissed.
Don’t besmirch a man
who hurt his wrist.
Did you enlist?
Goodbye, Super Tuesday
Huck will hang McCain on you.
War’s his thing but econ’s still gray,
If you don’t like it FUCK YOU.
You know, McCain could pick someone OTHER than Huckabee as a running mate. Like Reagan chose party stalwart and primary challenger George H.W., McCain should choose somebody like Fred.
No one knows who’s won, but we’ve all lost
Their votes have a price, but what’s the cost?
I can’t celebrate
This will soon become
A nanny state
Is it too late?
Goodbye Super Tuesday
Um, sorry, guys — suddenly I’ve got a hankering for a ribs & wings combo. I’ll come back and finish the song after lunch.
But that would be sucking up. And McCain doesn’t do that.
To right-wingers, anyway.
I attempted, independently of Mr. Collins, a lyric mash for the Pub this morn. It appears Jung is having his way with a song-altering vogue.
Fred Thompson was an original co-sponsor of the McCain-Feingold bill, so chances are pretty good that John and Fred have got something in common. On the other hand, why pick a loser? Thompson wasn’t exactly a big hit among the electorate. Plus, compared to Hillary or/and Barack, wouldn’t those two look like Grumpy Old Men III?
This fascination with Fred Thompson says a lot about the Republican Party. McCain, if he really wanted to shore up support, should pick Mitt. Instead, he’ll pick someone younger, from the South, and without much experience in Washington. I’d look for a surprise pick like the new governor of Louisiana before a Huckabee, Thompson, Romney, or Tancredo. And Newt Gingrich is still bitter and waiting by a phone somewhere. Not a good choice, but better than Fred.
You’re not the boss of *me*, Dan Collins.
to the tune of the Gumby Show.
He was once a mav-er-ick Senator. McCain!
You should see what McCain’s become today. McCain!
John competes in every state, with his straight talkin’ ways, too.
If you’ve a heart then John McCain’s a part of you.
–
My money is on Fla. Gov. Charlie Christ as NcCain’s VP. He’s a Southern Governor, helped John win Fla. with a key late endorsement, and he’s very popular
in his home state, a key electoral college state come Nov.
With his pony-pal Silky, too?
With his pony-pal Silky, too?
Now there’s a photoshop. Maybe for 2004, but still.
Sure. Stomp square on my last nerve.
It’s the primaries, that’s why. This is the time when all voters shoud be voting their best principles. If your first choice in on the ballot, that who you shoud vote for, regarless of whether they are campaigning or not.
Leaders have ceeded leadership to the polls, and I don’t see how anyone can copmplain about that given that the general public has ceeded all it’s principles to polls as well. It’s better to back a winning horse than to stand for something. That’s a recipe for “we all lose.”
I’m afraid that my countrymen have lost all backbone, all revolutionary fervor. We have indeed become as decadent and degenerate as the Soviets and now al-Qaeda believe we are.
There are a few of us left, still capable of walking upright (and hitting what we aim at). We’ll be here to try to bail you out, if you haven’t screwed the pooch beyond redemption.
Good question. Why did Kerry pick Edwards? Why did Reagan pick Bush? Hell, why did GWBush pick a guy who didn’t even run for president?
That said, jon, who would you, in your infinite wisdom and having as you always do our best interest at heart, have had us rightie wingnuts support in the primaries?
I tried that Silky Pony, Dan … it didn’t quite scan, or parse, or whatever the hell that thing is called, to my ear.

“Ultra Man: John McCain”
John McCain!
(echo) John McCain!
Here he comes to our aid
John McCain!
(echo) John McCain!
Watch our Maverick trade
through his straight talkin’ express
and his outright maverickness
John will make our country whole
Comes our Hero, John McCain
——————
I can easily picture McCain in a shiny red and silver suit fighting a rubber pants-suit clad Hillariku monster or a clean, articulate Obamatatsu beast
I’m afraid that my countrymen have lost all backbone
But at least we aren’t asking the government protect us from musicals.
SarahW,
Fair point. It’s cold comfort though to say, that at least there are others more decandent and degenerate than we are.
McGeehee, I was referring to McCain’s VP pick, not those picks of the primary voters. I asked why McCain should pick someone who garnered near-negligible support among the GOP electorate, and haven’t gotten much of an answer. Yes, I’m not a GOP voter nor will I be, but I think the Fred Thompson effect is soporific rather than inspirational and, thanks to the primary process, have some numbers to back me up.
And you’re ignoring part of my response that invited you to think it over in a historical context. Nominees choose running mates for their own reasons — like, for example (I repeat) George W. Bush did in 2000.
You think Thompson got “negligible” support? At least he got some. Cheney didn’t even run.
Respond to that, or I shall yell at you a second time. And louder.
Oh damnit. Cheney got the job because Bush put him in charge of picking a Veep and Cheney saw an obvious in. And of course I’m ignoring some of the historical contextual portions of the argument, since this is a comment post not a doctoral fucking thesis.
I still say Thompson doesn’t add anything McCain needs, other than the support of a bunch of cybercrybabies who will moan and groan about the need to flip the ticket. Put that in your historical pipe and smoke it. And mellow out, mister boldface type user.
Thompson does add something McCain needs.
Me.
We know Democrats want to make the ‘too old’ argument. They were all aghast over Ronald Reagan’s age at the time (BTW Happy 97th Mr. President), and now, they want even younger voters to come on line.
Because we know 16-year-olds are fully capable of making liberal decisions on their own.
Oh. I would totally vote for McCain if he picked Thompson. I like those odds a lot.
[…] all got started with Dan’s ‘No Time Left for You‘ blog post this morning, with the lyrics challenge, for Super Ruby Tuesday’s […]
I’ll tell you why to pick Thompson for veep — the VP debate. He’ll mop the floor with ANYONE the Donks put up.
Jon, this is Protein Wisdom. Where did you ever get the idea it was going to be an easy “A”? ;-)
