You know, surely Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) wept after hearing Sen. John McCain speak tonight

Matt Gunterman June 3rd, 2008

Man. Wow. I’m just amazed that any adviser let Sen. John McCain (R) on stage to give the speech he gave tonight.

How bad was it? It was so bad that the audience didn’t know whether to boo or applaud during the moments of the speech designed for crowd reaction. The whole thing seethed discomfort.

Isn’t the whole strategy for the GOP to make McCain somehow likable and somehow more desirable than the political incarnation of the Crypt Keeper? What’s with the small audience of rednecks boo’ing throughout his speech? How inspirational and motivational is that? So that’s what the GOP thinks will win them the election: bitter rednecks?

Simply radioactive. If you haven’t seen it, watch it.

    I didn’t watch crazee John’s speech last night. I watched all I cared to see of it on video.

    You know who McCain reminds me of in this speech? None other than Grandpa Simpson. Listen to the tone and inflection when he tries to sound sincere it’s spot on.

    “Gramps”

    If elected I wonder if McCain will appoint a Cabinet Member that believes that Citizens of the United States stink?

    Is John McCain as big a liar as George Bush?

    Obama is the only decent, truthful, and logical choice.

    when this many at freeperville
    think they are so screwed !!! never laughed so hard
    few quotes
    freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2025581/posts?q=1&;page=1

    I know, I know. But I’m a moth to a flame tonight…I can’t help myself.

    McCain really is unbearable.

    We are sooooo screwed.

    “And his speeches are like little bedtime stories
    It’s like he is speaking to a bunch of gradeschoolers”

    IMO that is the angle the press whores will follow.

    I hate that sh*t eating grin of his!

    I’m voting absentee so I can have a good buzz on when I vote for McCain.

    It is almost as if the Republicans are trying to lose the White House. How in the HELL can this guy be the best in the Republican party. My Goodness he is soooo lame. Attacks are president on the War and GITMO.. Hugs a tree and kisses Hillary’s Butt. Oh I think I am going to Barf….

    “I hate that sh*t eating grin of his!”

    It’s OK considering the North Vietnamese knocked a lot of his teeth out.

    OK, that was a pathetic display of McCain supporters. What a weak crowd. Guess they pretty much reflect what we feel!

    I am waiting for the Walter Brennan comparisons,

    You know the old man who used to be a bit player in movies who was always cranky and kind slumped like Mcsame does.

    But at least Walter Brennan didn’t have that death warmed over grin McSame keeps giving all of us when it looks like he is looking for our approval.

    Oh yea Ditch Mitch

    According to Yahoo News today (June 5) the number of jobless receiving benefits have hit a four year high. Make no mistake about it if elected, John McCain will export all the jobs that he can get his hands on.

    Obama is much more loyal to the United States than John McCain will ever be.

    Terri,

    Jim is taking time off to celebrate his 50 year anniversary. Of marriage. Not shitkicking blogging. But let’s hope that lasts as long.

  11. Terri Whitehouseon 07 Jun 2008 at 4:35 pm

    Yeah, I know. I just didn’t know if he’d want his bidness all out there. But since it is - Congratulations Jim!
