Occupy Iraq comes to an end much to the dismay of John McCain
I’m not too sure why anybody is giving John McCain news coverage anymore, but apparently he’s not too happy that the Iraq War will come to a definitive end when the last American troop returns home in December: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says an agreement could have been reached to keep more American troops in [...]
McCain’s Temper Tantrum
John “No Principles, None At All” McCain was involved in a belligerent, bullying exchange with two reporters about the Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell policy. His tantrum was tempered by bald-faced dishonesty. McCain wasn’t just completely wrong, as usual, about the facts. He also appeared to be lying. That is to say, unless he’s gone senile and lost most [...]
The McCain Anomaly
Christine O’Donnell‘s victory over moderate Republican stalwart Mike Castle yesterday raises all kinds of questions. And since early last night all the obvious ones have been asked. Over and over. So here’s the one I want to ask: in this primary season of Tea Party Davids repeatedly toppling Republican establishment Goliaths — often, as last [...]
McCain Fakes Out Media Matters With 3-d Chess Move
John McCain, who has pretty much reincarnated himself as one of the sorrier hacks in the Republican party, yesterday produced the most embarrassingly misguided attack on Elena Kagan to date. He attacked her for her complicity in a policy that Harvard has followed since Kagan was nine years old: HANNITY: Your reaction to her? Are [...]
Idle Thoughts, SCOTUS Edition
So by all accounts, President Obama will announce this morning that he is nominating Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. It occurs to me it might be both interesting and profitable to make book on which Republican Senator will offer the most absurdly unfair criticism of her nomination. (I would probably back John [...]
Just His Just Deserts?
For some strange reason, Arizonans Arizanies (boycotting the state is good, but why not add insult to injury?) seem to strongly disapprove (pdf) of John McCain’s job performance: John McCain might still beat Barack Obama handily were there a redo of the 2008 election in McCain’s home state, but the senator’s constituents now view Obama’s [...]
Proof Of The Pudding
You probably did not know this, because the mainstream media doesn’t believe in telling us the truth about such things, but our freeways are full of cars with illegal immigrants in them, and the drivers of these cars (who are apparently not illegal immigrants themselves) are intentionally causing accidents. Okay, maybe I exaggerated. Our freeways [...]
Gramps McCain Rides Again!
John McCain apparently thinks that Barack Obama is nobody: Asked about whether he’s concerned about anti-incumbency attitudes this year, McCain said, “No, I don’t worry about it. I know that I can out-campaign anybody.” Well, perhaps not “anybody.” (I’ll go ahead and note, before someone else points it out, that I do realize that “John [...]
Dementia Or Disease?
With Little Bo Peep, it was her sheep. With Gramps McCain, it’s his marbles. And just like Little Bo Peep, he doesn’t know where to find them. Last time we looked in on Gramps, he was befuddled about what it takes to repeal a bill. Or, to be fair to him, that may just have [...]
Go Ahead, Gramps, Make My Day!
Yes, I know that John McCain has been a few marbles short of a functioning brain for a while now. But this is pretty absurd even for a senile old Republican facing a primary challenge from the far right. He’s sent out a fundraising letter saying: I believe we must repeal this bill immediately. He [...]
