Stew much?

So meaty...

And this was after Obama said the current helicopter is just fine with him. Hey Johnny, it’s a fiscal responsibility summit, not a screening of Milk.

Relax the sphincter.

EDIT: After re-reading my own post, I’ve realized how much it reminds me of this fantastic clip.

With friends like these…

You know, as this election rolls on, it’s clear that the big winner isn’t Obama.

It’s this guy…

Not only does he have fairly well-received hit in the theaters at the moment, but he also has plenty of material for his next conspiracy theory to lay down on cellulose (do studios still use cellulose?). Eh…whatever. Doesn’t matter.

My point is that this week has shown that there is a sinister and diabolical plan to undermine John McCain in his quest for the presidency. And with each day that passes, he is resembling more and more the title character of Oliver Stone’s brilliant 1991 tour de force, JFK.

“Like Caesar, he is surrounded by enemies and something’s underway. But it has no face. Yet everyone in the loop knows.”

Actually…it does have a face. This one:

If want to really sell it, you probably shouldn't forget that the image in the rear-view mirror is reversed.

Now clearly, this young woman has mental health issues and I truly hope that she gets some help. But Jesus. This on the heels of Joe McCain responding with a “fuck you” when told by a dispatcher that 911 wasn’t his personal traffic complaint line. With these kinds of “supporters” working on McCain’s behalf, Obama could probably shut down his whole operation today, use the money to pay off Joe the Plumber’s mortgage, then sit back and just watch the GOP ticket fizzle out on its own volition.

Need a recap of all the friends, family, surrogates, and supporters that have been outed as anti-American operatives who successfully infiltrated the McCain camp and brought it down from the inside? Look no further!

• Michelle Bachman – Crazy Minnesota congresswoman who called for the return of McCarthyism. You know, because it was just so much fun the first time around!
• Robin Hayes – Just as crazy North Carolina congressman who warmed up a crowd before a McCain rally by saying “liberals hate real Americans” and then denied it. And then denied he denied it. This is the same Robin Hayes, mind you, who in 2006 said the key to victory in Iraq was spreading the message of Jesus Christ. Yeah, that’s exactly what the locals have been missing all these years…organized religion.
• Randy Scheunemann – McCain foreign policy advisor and all around asshole, who emailed an Atlantic blogger to tell him his most recent post was “bullshit“.
• Ashley Todd – The young lady above who took an evening off volunteering for McCain/Palin to start a race war.

And of course, my personal favorite…

• Joe “911′s a joke” McCain – The brother of the candidate, who didn’t know that the Alexandria 911 call center subscribed to caller ID.

Take these folks and throw in all the republican governors, mayors, congressman, generals, and even former Reaganite McCain advisors that have jumped ship and are swimming to the SS Barry, and you’ve got a grade-A ensemble cast for Stone’s next big hit.

It’s alive.

FEAR GOOD. ARABS BAD.

It’s almost hard to watch McCain loose control of the monster that Steve Schmidt convinced him to create. But it sure is fun. Talk about being hoisted on your own blatantly racist petard.

I’m going to assume the lady was paraphrasing when she said she “read”.

Let me be clear. In my eyes, there is nothing wrong with being a Republican. There is nothing wrong with being a conservative. I may not agree with the GOP platform in most respects, but its tenets are perfectly valid. I’ve even supported many of them in my past and who knows, I might again one day. But if you identify with these knuckle-dragging morons who actually believe a United States Senator is an Arab terrorist, then you really need to take a long look in the mirror. If nothing else, to make sure you’ve bathed before heading out to the rally.

Disclaimer: The Dude happily concedes that anyone who attends a politcal rally, Republican or Democrat, is quite possibly a wingnut. But at the moment, only one group of wingnuts is calling for the decapitation of one of the presidential candidates. Just sayin’…

Excuse me, garçon…

…how’s the crow here?

Mmmm…that sounds good. And a slice of the humble pie, please.

I’m sorry…could you say that again in my good ear?

Nice flip-flop. Way to go.

Stallone Likes McCain. I think.

Rambo, Rocky star: Life is “a rough action film, and you need somebody who’s been in that to deal with it.”

Soooooooo…..we should elect someone who’s been in action films? Pretty sure a couple of states tried that already. Results are mixed.
