For some reason, a new book called “Save the Males” reminded Chris Matthews of an old Saturday Night Live skit where none other than John McCain plays a sensitive, but creepy husband. Who knew he could act? As Matthews says “He can’t read a teleprompter and he can do that? That is good stuff.” Thanks […]
From the website 23/6, in honor of Republican attacks on Michelle Obama If you don’t believe this story is true, read this. And if you don’t believe John McCain was involved, read this. UPDATE: Sorry, I’ve had to turn off comments on this post. Apparently the word “drugs” in the title was like honey to […]
Some of you may recall that a week ago McCain challenged Obama to a series of “town hall” meetings with him, the first one to occur in one week. Never mind that McCain does much better in town hall meetings than he does in regular debates (not to mention his abysmal performance giving speeches), and […]
On Tuesday, in his now infamous “green backdrop” speech, McCain basically called Obama a liar: You will hear from my opponent’s campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I’m running for President Bush’s third term.

In Stephen Hayes’ 2007 biography of VP Dick Cheney, McCain was asked if Cheney might serve in a McCain administration. McCain’s response? “Hell, Yeah”. In 2004 McCain called Cheney “one of the most capable, experienced, intelligent and steady vice presidents this country has ever had.” Of course, now that he is running for president, McCain […]
On NBC’s “Today” show, Matt Lauer asked John McCain about the surge strategy in Iraq: “If it’s working Senator, do you now have a better estimate of when American forces can come home from Iraq?” McCain’s response: No, but that’s not too important. What’s important is the casualties in Iraq, Americans are in South Korea, […]
When will McCain learn that you can’t just deny that you said something, when anyone can just look it up on the innertubes?
