“The day that Sen. Obama cast a vote to not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body let me tell you,” Cindy McCain said in introducing the GOP ticket. “I would suggest Sen. Obama change shoes with me for just one day. I suggest he take a day and go watch our men and women deploying.”
Of course, this is like the waterboy talking smack to the 250 linebacker. But it's even more absurd. Talking Points Memo points out:
Here's the thing, though. If Obama's vote against that supplemental can be said to constitute a vote not to fund Cindy's son, as she put it, McCain, too, can be said to have voted to defund his own son.
McCain, of course, also opposed an Iraq troop funding bill in 2007 -- the one that did include a withdrawal timetable -- and voted against passage of the bill in the Senate.
It's important to be as clear as possible about this. If we accept Cindy's implication that Obama's vote constituted a danger to the McCains' son, then John, too, put his own son at risk -- all because the bill he voted against would have brought his son and his fellow troops home and ended the war McCain wants to continue.
Has she gone back to stealing painkillers from her charity? Memo to Cindy McCain: stick with the Vicodin and leave the politics to the pros.
In the wake of the recent flap over Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama's recent remark that the Republican Presidential Nominee, John McCain's claim to be the candidate of change amounted to "putting lipstick on a pig," the McCain campaign has lashed out at what they consider another sexist use of the word "pig."
This time the McCain campaign's target was Cincinnati's Flying Pig Marathon.
Speaking on behalf of the McCain campaign, former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift tonight flatly stated that the entire City of Cincinnati had called Palin a pig.
"[T]he formation of the Palin Truth Squad couldn't have happened too soon, as we saw when we discovered what I can only deem to be disgracefully named road race in Cincinnati, Ohio that compares our vice presidential nominee Gov. Palin to a pig," Swift said.
"The City of Cincinnati owes Gov. Palin an apology," she said.
Asked whether she knew that the name of the race dated back to a time before Palin was even Governor of Alaska, and why she would jump to the conclusion that one of the most conservative cities in America was "comparing" Palin to a pig, she said Palin was the only one of the four candidates on both parties' tickets who both must "fly" to reach another state, and who is, in fact, a pig.
"She is the only one of the four candidates for president, or the only vice presidential candidate who can't drive to a neighboring state, and the only one who's a pig, so...," Swift said. "Oh wait, that came out wrong. What I meant was, it seemed to me a very gendered comment."
But, Swift added, if "as part of its apology the City of Cincinnati wants to say, no, the race was named after Sen. McCain -- who is a true hero in our country, then I suppose we could wait en masse for an apology to that, as well."
It was pointed out to Swift that Cincinnati has other oddly named events, such as "Goettafest," Swift then suggested that Cincinnati was calling McCain "well, something nasty, I'm sure, although I don't know what that is."
"I have a fourth-grader and two second-graders at home," she said. "I bought them from a family of gypsies. Anyway, I would not teach them that this is sort of a high-minded city event when they are calling people goetta or a pig. In fact, it sounds a lot like some of the least intelligent debates on the playground sound like at our elementary school."
A reporter then reminded Swift that in December, McCain was asked about criticisms coming his way from then-opponent Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and McCain replied, "Did you ever hear the one about the ape raping the woman and the woman likes it?"
Was McCain being sexist or calling Romney an ape? a reporter asked Swift.
Of course not, Swift said. "He would be the first one to tell you, his wife's a c*nt. He can be as sexist as he wants. He deserves the latitude."
-- Rodney "Hot Rod" Lincoln fake reporting for the Tricky Trail Times.
John McCain at a fundraising dinner in Arizona a decade ago: "Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly?" he told a handful of big Republican funders. "Because Janet Reno is her father."
The remark packed into its 15 words several layers of misogyny. It disparaged the looks of Chelsea, then 18 and barely out of high school; it portrayed Reno as a man at a time when she was serving as the first female US attorney general; and it implied that Hillary Clinton was engaged in a lesbian affair while the Monica Lewinsky scandal was blazing. Not bad going, Senator McCain.
Any one of those elements would seem potentially terminal for a public figure. Yet here he is 10 years later presenting himself as a champion of feminism by appointing Sarah Palin as his running mate.
From the McSame guy who called his wife a plastered trollop. Geez.
I personally appreciate the cameo and guest commentary of the Plastered Trollop - something I had been meaning to write about.
Funny, I didn't realize that being the heiress to a beer distributorship qualified one to render foreign policy opinions so childish and stupid that only a first-grader would agree. Listening to Cindy McCain reason that the geographic proximity of Alaska and Russia gives Palin foreign policy chops is like listening to Britney Spears explain the finer points of Superstring Theory in between smacks of her gum.
1. In a previous post about Cindy McCain (a/k/a the Plastered Trollop), I posed the following question about her consistant characterization of herself as an only child:
the question remains: why would Cindy McCain continue to lie and deny the existence of her half-sister?
2. Obamanomics: this article is long and therefore a time-killer, but very, very interesting.
3. Find out how much of a tax cut you will get under Obama's plan, here.
4. Hey John McCain: this isn't a celebrity endorsement you can believe in!! What? Paris and Britneeeey not returning your calls anymore, Johnny?
As the young people say: "LOL."
As the young people further say: "OMG!"
After all, Daddy Yankee (whoever the fuck he is) first sought to endorse Barack Obama. Due to his assault charge and racy lyrics, Obama turned him down. So he runs into the open arms of John McCain, who never met a political gimmick he didn't love.
Why was I speaking in text messages a paragraph ago? Because it's all so, what's the word ...... the word that characterizes John McShameless's whole campaign?
Juvenile.
It's like being in high school again. It's like going out with your sworn enemy's ex-girlfriend to whom you otherwise wouldn't give the time of day, just to piss him off.
Frankly, I'd like to say, "Daddy Yankee, you got played," but damn it, I know it's the other way around. This schmuck just got put on the map.
Pretty soon, the John McCain, Liar blog series is going to be a full blown movement.
And with good reason. I really didn't think he would stoop this low.
Lying about your dealings with Mother Teresa??? Don't you burn in hell for that?
Quote from the linked article:
This is the pattern:
A story that shows the McCains' genuine compassion and faith is embellished over the years to make the story a little more perfect, a little more salient, a little better as a narrative. It's especially important to add these embellishments when your goal is to appeal to a fundamentalist base, when your own prickly, personal and private faith isn't very marketable. And when your adopted daughter is Bangladeshi, and when that fact has been disgracefully used against you by the Bush machine in 2000, and when some fringes of your base get queasy about multi-racial families, what better way to describe the adoption than as something Mother Teresa herself "implored" you to do?
UPDATE: apparently, McCain's Mother Teresa canard is of relatively recent vintage ... and easily discoverable. But hey, we shouldn't question a POW. Beaten for five-and-a-half years after all.....
Interesting story coming out about how the Plastered Trollop, Cindy McCain, characterizes herself as an "only child." Well, as with so many things in John McLiar's world, that's not exactly true. She may well have been the only heir to her father's beer distributorship fortune, but she wasn't her father's only daughter.
Seems to be a recurring pattern in the Plastered Trollop's life: her father left behind his first family to take up with and later marry a second woman (the Plastered Trollop's mother). Sounds exactly how she met John McSlime while he was still married, had an affiar with him, and got married to him about a month after his divorce was final. [side note: John McCain, what a good, wholesome, Christian man!]
And while this sad, pathetic story of the late Jim Hensley's treatment of his first daughter definitely says more about his character than that of the Plastered Trollop or her 5'6" husband (other than the obvious "birds-of-a-feather" / judging a man's character "by the company he keeps," or in this case, the company he marries, association), the question remains: why would Cindy McCain continue to lie and deny the existence of her half-sister?
I mean, really - to what end?
Apparently, truth is a fairly flexible concept to the McCains. What a pair of despicable human beings (I'm being charitable here).
On the right-wing circle jerk known as the Hannity and Colmes show, conservative blow-hards were desperately trying to keep the John Edwards Affair alive ... to what end, I have no idea. As the Hot Rodette aptly pointed out Friday afternoon: "What does this matter? What is John Edwards even doing now?"
One thing he's not doing right now: running for President of the United States of America.
Oh, and pop quiz time: name one thing John McShame is doing right now. If you said, running for President of the United States of America, you're the big winner!
So Sean Hannity and company are blathering on and on about how Edwards' affair automatically disqualifies him to be president. This gives the Hot Rod a shiver down his spine, since he finds himself agreeing with this notion in the abstract - after all, if you can cheat and lie to your spouse and break those solemn vows, disregarding all of that "nonsense" about "upholding the Constitution and laws of the United States, blah, blah, blah ...." will likely be no problem. This creepy feeling of agreement with right-wing wack-jobs subsides as the Hot Rod thinks about the obvious fact that Edwards has dropped out of the race, thereby disqualifying himself, a fact which makes moot this entire discussion.
Then, in a moment of inspired, um, competence, Fuax News' token liberal, Alan Colmes, applies the logic being passed around to one John Sydney McCain. He asked, "if that’s true, you can’t trust somebody who had an affair, how can we trust John McCain to be president of the United States since he cheated, by his own admission, on his first wife? He didn’t keep his marital vows. He didn’t keep his pledge to his first family.” The conservative panel ran from that question with more speed, power, and agility than Minnesota Vikings' RB, Adrian Peterson.
Sean Hannity, unfazed, offered a vigorous defense of McCain - the explanation that justifies everything - that McCained had been beaten as a POW for five-and-a-half years in the Hanoi Hilton, and so, you know, cheating on and abandoning his first wife (who had been in a badly disfiguring car accident as McCained was taking his licks in Vietnam) for the eventual Plastered Trollop, a young, filthy rich, and erstwhile good-looking piece of ass, is understandable, acceptable, and (unlike the case of John Edwards) no cause to question the fitness of John McShame to be President.
Say, what was that Jonah Goldberg quote I found yesterday about black holes of stupidity .....
Because if I follow Hannity's point, John McCrook gets out of jail free for, well, everything I guess. After all, five-and-a-half years...
You can just imagine a McCain presidency now, can't you? "So what if John McCain (fill-in-the-blank-with-the-misdeed-or-perhaps-even-impeachable-offense-of-your-choice-here), he was beaten for five-and-a-half years ...."
Oh, what am I saying?? If I have learned nothing else since January 2001, it is that presidential accountability absolutely ends at Inauguration.
As everyone knows, I've been awfully hard on presumptive 5'6" Republican presidential nominee, John McSane-In-The-Membrane, but Goddamnit, he's deserved it, hasn't he?
I mean, really. If he keeps it up, I'm going to have to take a leave of absence from my real(?) job manufacturing LSD molecules so I can document his hypocracy and blatant lies (on energy policy, compare this to that - you fucking tell me, where's the so-called "Straight Talk Express"?).
So, John McFraud is a two-faced liar, but, God bless him, occasionally he will have a moment (usually a senior moment) where he gets back in The Hot Rod's good graces. Like today. when he was posing as a real man-of-the-people (one who is so "salt of the earth" that he was called out for wearing $520 loafers less than a week ago) at the famous motorcycle rally at Sturgis, South Dakota, and told the crowd that he had encouraged the Plastered Trollop to enter the attendant beauty pageant, the Miss Buffalo Chip contest.
I'm going to suspend my disbelief and labor under the notion that John McClueless is not senile, misinformed, or thoughtless, and act as though he was leading a reality-based existance at the moment he made that remark.
In that spirit, I say: Smooth, Johnny Boy, smooth!
Despite what the title of this post may suggest, it is not about the Plastered Trollop, and the typical reaction from those seeing her from more than 200 feet away.
Sadly, this is about a true story coming out of sleepy Cincinnati, Ohio that not even the producers and writers of Law & Order SVU are sick and depraved enough to think up.
No shit: In 1982 a woman was stabbed to death in her suburban Cincinnati home. A man was convicted of her murder and rape. He denied the rape, and DNA evidence eventually showed that, in fact, he did not commit the rape. That same DNA evidence now suggests a DNA match..... with an man who was an employee of the Hamilton County, Ohio (that's Cincinnati) morgue.
Douglas is accused of having sex with the woman’s uncleaned body after it had been stored in more refrigeration for four hours awaiting an autopsy the next day.
Yes, allegedly, the dude f*cked a dead body! That's not a punchline to a gross-out joke, that's actually the allegation. The thought is so disgusting, so out-of-bounds, that I actually had to censor the word, "fucked" just then. Did you notice that? Yeah, it's that bad.
For once, this overused cliche:
“In a case like this, you are tempted to refer to (Douglas) as an animal but that really isn’t fair to animals. They don’t do things like this. He is one sick dude,” Assistant Prosecutor Mark [Piepmeier] said after the brief arraignment.
When we last tuned in, I was slamming the Plastered Trollop, Cindy McCain, for taking a pot shot at Michelle Obama over the latter's comment about being "proud" of her country for the first time in her adult life.
The Plastered Trollop, if you recall, sprinted past Laura Bush (who did the classy thing and defended the comment) to jab the shank into Michelle Obama's back, saying, "well, I've always been proud of my country."
Maybe that makes you better than Michelle Obama, Plastered Trollop. Maybe not. Certainly the fact that you stole prescription drugs from a third-world charity to feed your painkiller addiction makes it substantially less likely that you can one-up the Michelle Obama, who has a lot more on her resume than merely being the heir to a beer distributorship fortune.
But if it does - and that's a big motherfucking "if" - then it likewise makes you better than that sniveling, flip-flopping, pathetic piece of shit husband of yours, John McSame. Here's what the 5'6" presumptive Republican presidential nominee said on the friendly turf of the Sean Hannity show:
HANNITY: You spent two years of this five-and-a-half-year period in solitary confinement. What does that do to a person, to spend that much time in solitary confinement?
MCCAIN: I think it makes you a better person. Obviously, it makes you love America. I really didn't love America until I was deprived of her company.
Cindy, I only say this because I care: Do. Not. Neglect. Hygiene. It is important that you clean Michelle Obama's blood off of that shank before you jam it into John's back.
Or would an ounce of principled consistency be too much to ask?
While Barack Obama takes the high road and calls off the attack dogs on John McCain's trollop, Cindy, (John McCain: "at least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c*nt!"), the "plastered trollop" herself took a pot-shot at Michelle Obama:
Well, missy, if you want to enter the fray........FINE!
To start the week off, let's talk about your little drug addiction problem. You know, the one that had you fiending for painkillers so badly that you stole from the American Voluntary Medical Team, a third world relief organization you founded.
try to imagine what the reaction would be if Michelle Obama had a history with drug addiction? If Michelle Obama had stolen drugs meant for third world countries to support her own addiction?
You had better believe Cindy the plastered trollop would be coming at Michelle Obama with claws out had the percocet-addicted shoe been on the other foot.
I know Obama has said spouses are off limits. I'm trying, I really am. But after 7.5 years of George W. Fucking Bush, my natural instinct is to do the opposite of what the president says. I'm a work in progress. By the time Obama wins the election in November, I should be back to following orders.
