ROTFL... this made my day.

thanks :)

Cursing--as this article shows very well--just makes you look like an idiot.

To plough through 9,000 words on McCain, you surely need pretty much to a Johnny Mac groupie already.

Plus - this is Esquire - not exactly pretending to be the newspaper of record...

(Largest pic on the home page is of a large-breasted young woman in denim shorts and top astride a push-bike, over which one reads:

THE SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE
Who is she?
[a mystery in six parts]

It makes you wonder why no McCain supporter was bright enough to just throw the dog shit himself, if it's as simple as that to become President.

But his taking dog shit to the chest in front of an audience of New York City liberals could clinch it, galvanizing the fractured right wing behind its disrespected war hero,

Who exactly is he talking about doing the disrespecting here?  Nobody has disrespected McCain's service more than BushCo during the SC 2000 primary with the possible exception of McCain himself.

FUNNY!

McCain will go down in flames before 2008 and Rudy won't be far behind.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be trolls by the brigades, simply everywhere?

Must be getting desperate.

"First of all, this reads like it was written by someone who had just gotten through a night course titled 'An investment banker's guide to writing gonzo journalism'."

Best thing I've ever seen you write.

"An investment banker's guide to writing gonzo journalism"

LOL.
Now thats a course that the New School and other good college probably won't be offering...

Somewhere, Hunter S. Thompsons ashes are crying.

He was in Hawaii, attending a military reception. While there, he met a young, blond, former cheerleader named Cindy Hensley.

It was an incredible stroke of luck for McCain.

How fortunate could one man be? Here was McCain, who had his eye on Congress, meeting a young, attractive beer heiress from Arizona, which was adding a congressional district in 1982.

McCain recalls that both he and Cindy fudged their ages at first. McCain made himself a little younger and Cindy made herself a little older. They found out their real ages when the local paper published them. McCain was 43, Cindy 25.

''So our marriage,'' McCain cracks, ''is really based on a tissue of lies.''

After a whirlwind courtship, John asked Cindy to marry him. But there were some details to clear out of the way.

McCain needed a divorce from his wife of 14 years, Carol, who had been badly injured in a car accident while McCain languished in Hanoi.

The hypocrisy also comes out when their friends and family get caught.

Likely 2008 presidential candidate John McCain, R-Ariz., has advocated tougher drug laws, but in the early 1990s, his wife, Cindy, stole Percocet and Vicodin from a charity. She was not prosecuted. Percocet and Vicodin are Schedule II drugs, in the same legal category as opium. Each pill theft carries a penalty of one year in prison and a monetary fine. But Mrs. McCain entered a pretrial diversion program and escaped without a criminal record.

The son of Duke "Death Penalty for Drug Kingpins" Cunningham, R-Calif., was convicted for possession of 400 pounds of marijuana. Mother Jones reported that in court, the congressman cried and pleaded for mercy, explaining that his son "has a good heart. He works hard." The congressman -- who denounced "soft-on-crime liberal judges" and railed against "reduced mandatory-minimum sentences for drug trafficking" (and who himself is now in prison for taking bribes) -- won for his son the mercy he fought to deny others: half the federal "mandatory" minimum sentence.

The writer pays so much attention to theoretical dog shit, but barely mentions the hypocritical bullshit McCain rolled in at Falwell's school.

Bona fides -77 year-old , life-long Yellow-dog Democrat.

I have admired McCain from the first time I heard about him. Bonafide war-hero, flawed family man. but who among us is perfect? I was enraged when the Bush Swift-Boaters ( given their name later) accused McCain of not supporting veterans and fathering a child by a black prostitute. Then, entranced again by the Straight Talk Express, my admiration grew.

Now, what do I have? An amoral lying hypocrite giving a graduation speech at Jerry Falwell's Liberty college, or whatever it is. If memory serves, Falwell happily supported the attack on McCain by the Bush bunch. I may be wrong about this but I am not wrong in knowing the Falwell is an old, sick, twisted religious fanatic willing to use the Bible to advance his most perverted and hateful beliefs, delivered always with what I am sure he thinks is a Christ-like smile.

Congreve said it. Hell has no fury like a woman scorned. He was wrong. Hell hath no fury like a political admirer who finds that the object of his admiration has become a hypocritical, lying dissembler who has gladly sold out all of his principles in hopes of buying the presidency.
 

This blog is dogshit man, I mean the bloggers are dogshit and the stories are dogshit and the breaking blue is dogshit.

I feel so....so....superior.

Why liberals dont throw dog shit at graduation ceremonies... Who wants to carry dog shit around their graduation?

Fucking A, Matt!

I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, and I'm not particularly given to scatology or coprophilia.  And yet, since reading the excerpt from the article, I've acquired a powerful urge to throw dog shit at the idiotic and clueless author.

Perhaps it's a variation of the Stockholm Syndrome.

I mean, I admit it's not really as good as Viz, but... can't be real, can it?

The Republican'ts respected war hero? That's funny, in 2000 he was a deranged ex POW who betrayed his fellow POWs, and well we know all about his wife.

John McCain's major standout quality is that, for a radical rightwinger, he also possesses a very rare trait: a sense of humor.

First we get a clown prince, who was crowned in the media exactly one day after Clinton trounced Dole in November 1996. The MSM barely admitted McCain was in serious contention during the 2000 primaries, so convinced were they of the inevitability of the coronation of the heir to America's new royal family.

Likewise, once 2004's election was decided, the MSM have crowned Hilary and McCain as the eventual 2008 nominees. They will fight toth and nail against any challenger to that face-off, just as they fought to keep Dean away, ultimately using a rally cry to make him seem a fool.

McCain's more virtuous than Bush because he won't diss veterans and his pet cause - campaign finance reform - is a good reform to seek. But he has proven an ineffective legislator and is now going through all the kiss-ass motions of a political hack in pursuit of glory.

The rightwing's Macchiavelli's were eager to get Bush because they knew they could talk Jesus into every rationale and get him to do anything they wanted. He was the perfect puppet and they knew it.

McCain's shrewd enough to have learned that he can't get anywhere if he doesn't kiss the ring and ass of Pope John Birch. Should he get elected, he won't be as malleable as the clown prince, and won't appear in the spotlight to be a clueless idiot.

More likely, in the grand tradition of Jerry Ford, he'll pardon all the war criminals and talk about how America was well served by the outcome. We'll be told our nightmare's over and how well the system works, yadda-yadda-dogshit.

If the Democrats put up a nominee I can support, I'll do my best to prevent McCain's coronation. If they don't, I'll just be that reviled old hippie hated equally by Left and Right, and choose not to bother to vote the top of the ticket at all.

After all, if I'm to be stereotyped as a 'hippie' because I once had long hair and behaved when young as silly as most young people do, it'll do no good to point out all that my generation got right, all the ways we improved the world and its ruling paradigms (such as moving the Dem primary process out of the smoky backrooms in 1972).

McCain will suck. Hilary, Biden or Bayh would suck. And I, as a 'hippie' loyal to principles, in pursuit of visionary leadership, will fulfill my role and suck, too, at being a party loyalist.
