I’m beginning to think it’s just as likely that John McCain is the real puppet. Albeit an erstwhile “electable” one.
[As a kind of rhetorical disclaimer that you believe will shield you from off-topic demagoguing, insert obligatory comment about his war-time heroism — and your appreciation for such — here.]
Someone check MacDaddy’s Depends. I think I smell a load.
Any candidate slobbered over by the MBM should be automatically rejected.
If’n you catch your kids using the word ‘electable’ wash their mouths out with soap.
WTF!!! McSame seems to have buried the hatchet quicker with Obama than he did with W.Bush!
I can smell a “gang of [X]” coming down the pike…
He’ll stop at nothing for the press adulation.
After leaving the Oval Office, McCain used the social networking site Twitter to call for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to step down.
“It’s in the best interest of Egypt, its people & its military,” he said.
How the hell would John McCain know? Who’s he to decide? What’s his place that he thinks he can call on Mubarak to step down? Will he next call upon the tides to recede?
These people have no sense of limitation whatsoever.
I’ll agree that McCain’s a twit, but I find it hard to imagine him as a Twittererererer. He spends as much time on that Twitter account as Rahm Emanuel spends on this one. (Gratuitously obscene, but really effin’ funny!)

The fact that John McCain was a war hero doesn’t preclude him from being seduced by Washington.
Benedict Arnold was quite the war hero before turning to the British side.
Didn’t Arnold turn because he felt that he wasn’t getting the recognition and career advancement that he believed his war record entitled him to?
I still feel kind of dirty for having voted for McCain.
As well you should. Insty has a whole list of things we can blame on you guys.
I voted for Palin and feel pure as Ivory soap.
What else am I at fault for?
global warming
I’m pretty sure my car problems are your fault, JD. Why do you hate my car?
Meh. Skyhawk drivers were all insane, in my opinion. Being shot down and stuffed into the Hanoi Hilton for years probably didn’t help either.
Given all that: shut up, John.
Ron Paul has gone from crazy uncle to relevant while John McCain heads from relevant to crazy uncle.
And to think we coulda had a crazy uncle president instead of the empty suit we currently have.
I am cool with his service. His politics, not at all. I can separate them and utterly loathe the squishy RINO crapola that he seems to be emitting at a record pace of late.
Gang of Fools, next up!
Not Manchurian, Siberian.
Almost every person I know from Arizona told me the same thing – McCain has that “don’t you know who I am” attitude. You can definitely see it in his daughter. He will be booked on every show in the near future to rip Republicans and the Tea Party.
He is the moderate choice. That’s why people who call for moderation should be stoned (figuratively, or through smuggled Mexican hash brought over the Arizona border).
The same qualities that made him a fly-boy are still in play; you know the Hanoi Hilton didn’t break his spirit. He still thinks he’s the Mack Daddy and whatever he wants he can have. And that’s worked for HIM pretty well. The rest of the country, not so much.
His service to his country has served none so well as himself. Thanks, I guess.

Obama really has a hard on for the Brits doesn’t he.
There is nothing Manchurian about it. He likes the British less than a bunch of drunk angry Irishmen on St. Patrick’s day.
McCain has that “don’t you know who I am” attitude.
You get that impression from all the ‘behind the scenes’ politics as well.
What was it he said to, was it Cornyn, during the amnesty debate? Lemme google “McCain Cornyn fuck you” …
WaPo reports:
At a bipartisan gathering in an ornate meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain complained that Cornyn was raising petty objections to a compromise plan being worked out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House. He used a curse word associated with chickens and accused Cornyn of raising the issue just to torpedo a deal.
Things got really heated when Cornyn accused McCain of being too busy campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations, which have gone on for months behind closed doors. “Wait a second here,” Cornyn said to McCain. “I’ve been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You’re out of line.”…
“[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room,” shouted McCain at Cornyn.
Entropy – sorry for the late post. No community organizers showed up to shovel our parking lot. It was just neighbor helping neighbor – exactly as Marx predicted would happen. McCain would just walk away and speak on behalf of his veteran projects. He does such good work. He has to walk away from what the MSM are telling him.
I have enough back pain from shoveling to last me through the SuperBowl. Please tell me that President Obama won’t be there. I can’t take anymore analogies.
