McCain getting grumpy
McCain's base has always been the establishment media, which makes this piece all the more interesting... usually the press keeps McCain's nastiness to themseleves:
when TIME's James Carney and Michael Scherer were invited to the front of McCain's plane recently for an interview, they were ushered forward, past the curtain that now separates reporters from the candidate, past the sofa that was designed for his gabfests with the press and taken straight to the candidate's seat. McCain at first seemed happy enough to do the interview. But his mood quickly soured. The McCain on display in the 24-minute interview was prickly, at times abrasive, and determined not to stray off message.
There's audio and an excerpt from the interview at the link.. worth a listen.

Go Go Grumpypants!
I'd love to see someone tweak Crash just right at a debate to cause a nuclear grump moment on national TV. Obama wouldn't do it, but if Stretch or Tweety moderates, they might have the sense of humor necessary.

You won't have long to wait
...the convention starts next Monday. That's a whole WEEK of meltdowns just waiting to happen.
Isn't Amy Goodman scheduled to attend? *snortlaugh*

You said the magic words!!
Nony (Alan, tell him what he's won)
or name.
She'll be there so she can accurately tell us all how Obama is JUST LIKE McCain:-p
".....but, yer bleck"
Lethal Weapon 2
KNOW WHAT??
Seventy-Two year old men get tired easily, are forgetful, AND CRANKY.
There's no way McCain is going two months under REAL scrutiny and head-to-head competition without a major melt-down.
BET THE RANCH!
===================
Hey Grampy McCain!... You smell like urine!
Like Randi always says,
If you want someonw to answer the 3 am call, Gramps McCain is your man cause he's still up for his 20th pee break.
Better a bad temper than...
"Uh...Uh...Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...Change"
The Messiah can't give a good speech unless it's written for him and put on the teleprompter.
Boy, that's going to be tough during face to face conversations with the terrorists, huh. Their power grids probably can't handle teleprompters!
So let me git this straitt
...jest cuz he can string an entire thought together means that he cain't be the commander guy. Whew! glad ah never had THAT problem. he he he
Nahhh
Farmer McLefty values mediocrity in his politicians. That way the Forune 50 will have an easier time taking control.
Better a bad temper? LOL!
You are one fucking dumbass, brainwashed rePub...
If you actually listened to what Obama has to say, he clearly outlines how he IS going to Change this country for the better.
Better CHANGE then giving tax breaks to oil companies or starting wars just so corporate friends can make billions of dollars in contracts.
Piss off idiot.
JUST CURIOUS
.
I will certainly be interesting to compare Obama's "thin" resume with the extensive resume that McCain has accrued while in the Senate.
McCain's resume includes:
Keating Five
Suncore
EADS
14 Votes against VA benefits.
Grade of D and a rating of 20% from the Disable Vets and the Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Scandals with lobbyists
Reports of sexual indiscretion.
I can see why Obama's resume looks "thin".
I do have a question. When it comes to legislation, Biden has a history. Where is McCain’s? The GOP say he has experience, but where's the beef? Something that is not a scandal?
Just Curious
You can say whatever you want about Obama, but even on his
worst day, he is a far better speaker then Bush ever dreamed of being on his best day. And Obama didn't need to cheat during debates like Bush.
Bush can't give a good speech EVEN when it's written for him and put on a teleprompter. He was obviously pushing his meager reading skills to the limit with "The Pet Goat".
I've heard some dumbshit arguments on this board before...
But bebe's sock puppet wins the gold medal of dumbshittery and a silver (behind Shedd) in sycophanty! You dipshit dittoheads look at Crash W's military record (which wasn't even that good), and this makes him "more qualified" than a man of ideas who will surround himself with people of experience and sometimes different ideas? What an idiot.
Vote for the tough guy. Real mental health there, bebe. Your family must be ashamed. BTW, since you have all this time to hang out here with several different personalities (if you want to call them that), I can only assume that you aren't taking care of your family, as you exhort the rest of us to do? So is your common-law "wife" supporting your clay-eating poor white trash lardass?

Uh...Uh...Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...Change
I'd rather have that than Four More Wars. And more of the same with oil companies robbing us blind while they show their best profits in history.
That's how to trigger the final meltdown!
He's going to insist on sticking to his g0p-approved script, right? And he's going to look grumpier and grumpier as people keep trying to get him to deviate from that script, right? So the key is going to be to FORCE him off the script.
All it's going to take is one loud "F*CK YOU" from Jukebox Johnny McWetStart and the American people will deafen him with the thunder of a collective volte-face as they present him with their backs, instead of their votes.
I hope they've got a good-sized stock of Depends on hand. He's going to need them by the time the reporters get done with him.
Someone cue Amy Goodman!

Wouldn't it be ULTRA-cool...
If he lost it and called Norah O'Donnell a "liberal cunt?"
OTOH, that might cement him with his base...

Maybe Crash
will call some female member of the media a "goddamn c--t." Or maybe he'll call VP nominee Sarah Palin one.
Old guy, saddled with failure, and Romney being shoved up his
ass. What do you expect?
It is always about the money.
According to MSNBC
Romney has no travel plans, and Polenta has cleared his whole schedule. Even better.

He's still in dire need of a protologist... And missed his nap!
The tumbrels roll, trees sigh at the gentlest breeze. The dull blade of "Trickle Down" rattles in its race.
NBC is saying it's not Pawlenty either
The talking heads seem to think it's Ridge. Uh Oh! Better raise us up to condition ORANGE!
condition ORANGE!
HA!... Good one.
Just what I was thinking.
BE AFRAID!!... BE VERY AFRAID!!
McSame always preferred Ridge. The Party is inserting Romney.
It's like Kemo Sabe sez, It is all about the money, and Romney can pony up.
Bushie! Doin' a helluva job!
G0P Trinity: Failure, Fraud, Endless Deceit.
Agree. If it isn't Romney they've given up.
And will do anything to diminish the nation. Then, move to Dubai, a place that's a bullseye for Iran.
As the seed is planted so grows the tree
By now we all know better
that Gramps picked a woman young enough to be his granddaughter. Or more likey, she was forced on him by the whacko Right. Her credentials seem good: in favor of drilling in ANWR, opposed to abortion, Guns, guns, uber alles, in trouble with the state legislature. I just want to know how a housewife from rural Alaska is qualified to lead the Free World in the event of a tragedy involving President McSame.
Also,, I heard today that Romney was sighted several times in Dayton today; I guess the poor sap was running interference for the arrival of the esteemed Governor of Alaska. Too bad Mitt didn't know it.
Gun Totin' Mama...
Gee, she can fire a rifle and eats game meat...
BIG FUCKING DEAL.
I was certified by the NRA as an expert marksman while she was still nothing more than a twinkle in her daddy's Contarded eye... and I'm as far left as she is Contarded.
You know what? Squirrel, venison, duck etc. tastes like shit (except maybe fried with plenty of butter and garlic)
I'M NOT IMPRESSED.
Who are THEY trying to fool?
=========================
Shit, they're peddling her like Fox News peddles "journalists".
Find a piece of ass with a Contarded point of view, and dim-witted Contards will follow.
But AG,
she was "Miss Wasilla" and "Miss Congeniality" in the "Miss Alaska" pageant. Those qualifications will serve her really well when she's face-to-face with Putin after he's invaded another one of the former Soviet republics.
An the one I really like? she cancelled the "Bridge to Nowhere" project and scored kudos with conservatards everywhere as a "Maverick." But as Paul Harvey used to say, "The Other Side of the Story" was that she cancelled the project after she could not get the USDOT to pay for all of it, and then she kept the Federal funds rather than return them to the Federal treasury. She should be in criminal court rtight next to Cheney & Shrub
