And then there’s this:
McCain’s charitable foundation gives mostly to his children’s private schools. But they did give $50 out of $1.6 million to a cancer charity.
Who needs to ratfuck when he’ll fuck himself for tax breaks?

Ever see the John Wayne movie “The Commancheros”? There’s a part where Duke is taking a guy back to stand trial and the guy keeps calling him “Friend”. Duke ends every retort with “And I ain’t your friend.” Think of that everytime I hear McCain talk.

I had no idea that there was audio from that event. How, pray tell, has this not been made into an ad? The answer must be that it’s on the way.
August 22, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Here’s another ad which should be played over and over and over from now until Nov. 4th.
August 22, 2008 at 5:00 pm
That’s pretty outstanding, but you know that the McSame McCampaign will bust out sooner or later with the “…cling to guns and religion…” audio, which honestly I can’t believe they haven’t re-issued yet. They must be waiting til DEFCON 1 levels of nastiness have been reached…say early October.
August 22, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Excellent.
August 22, 2008 at 5:20 pm
But Will, the “bitter” comments sound a lot better in context. These sound even worse, though I wouldn’t have though it possible.
August 22, 2008 at 5:23 pm
the “cling to guns” audio is completely incomprehensible. It has to be subtitled.
the shot of the coal miners in there did my heart good. Them’s my people there.
August 22, 2008 at 5:25 pm
re: “…clings to guns and religion…” tired old gaffe.
They’re probably really waiting for the guy to temporize himself into a better gaffe actually…
August 22, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I can’t believe he said that. It was fun laughing at John and all his houses, but only a completely out of touch, rich, asshole could have said that and thought it made sense to a crowd of normal wage slaves.
August 22, 2008 at 7:20 pm
The audio is terrific, my friends. That crowd sounds ready to throw chairs, but what’s up with the Harvey Dent shop? Seems like Mr. Moneybags would have been the better play. Maybe a spin off Col. Nathan R. Jessep, “You want work? You can’t handle the work! (my friends)”
August 22, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I am going to start ending all sentences with “my friends,” my friends.
August 22, 2008 at 7:24 pm
“Son, we live in a world that has work. And that work has to be done by men without documentation. Who’s gonna do it? You?”
August 22, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Whatever. I still wanna see some rat copulation.
August 22, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I challenge any of you to copulate with rats for fifty dollars per hour, for a full season of rat copulation…my friends, you won’t do it!
August 23, 2008 at 6:00 am
Get rid of the Two Face image, fix the “cant” typo at the end, and get that ad on the air.
August 23, 2008 at 7:56 am
And if I recall correctly, he said this while speaking to members of the building and construction trades.
August 23, 2008 at 8:27 am
at the pain of appearing noobesque, where/when is this exchange from and can we get it in text?
August 23, 2008 at 8:46 am
TR, if you want the benefits of people-power democracy, why would you want to make this ad look like a pro ad?
If there aren’t irregular handles, it ain’t a craft mug.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think the “big ears” tap into the value addition, “one of us.”
August 23, 2008 at 9:24 am
Yeah, but like TR said: Fix the “Cant.” It’s embarrassing. Then print it and run it.
August 23, 2008 at 10:26 am
The Cant is subliminal.
August 23, 2008 at 1:29 pm
“You say you’ve picked Yuma lettuce all summer long, my friends? And copulated all night with rats during that long hot Yuma summer, my friends? And you have documented proof, my friends? Even youtube material, my friends? IN that case, my friends, you are no longer my friends, my friends.”
August 23, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Now, this is an ad.
August 23, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Pffft… should be his campaign motto.
Bush/McCain 2008
“You can’t do it, my friends.”
August 23, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Jeez, I’d happily pick lettuce for $50 an hour. I don’t think that’s what it pays, though.
August 23, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Could somebody please cut Joe Biden’s crazy fucking hair? Hello? It’s all party in the front, desert in the back. Did Bruce Willis teach the bald nothing?
August 23, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Just the line “You can’t do it, my friends” needs to end up in ads.
Universal Health Care? “You can’t do it, my friends.”
Better rail transportation? “You can’t do it, my friends.”
Middle class tax cuts? “You can’t do it, my friends.”
August 23, 2008 at 8:25 pm
this is brilliant. My friends.
August 23, 2008 at 11:55 pm
My gross salary is $80,000 per year. That’s not counting the benny’s, of course, but still…that’s only $45/hr.
So yes, my friends, I would seriously consider picking lettuce for a $5/hr pay raise.

The “You Can’t Do It (M.F.) (!!)” meme is actually a variation of my re-write of the Home depot slogan. Thus:
“You can’t do it. We can’t help. My friends.”
August 24, 2008 at 8:27 am
…that’s only $45/hr.
$45/hr = $93600/yr. You make @ $38.46/hr.
Use a calculator next time instead of counting on your tentacles, my friend.
August 24, 2008 at 8:55 am
respectfully suggest
Because you can’t do it, my friend.
It provides the answer to every question about why McSame will betray most of his voters.
August 24, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Gee, if I picked lettuce for $50 an hour, I’d be able to afford the health insurance I DON’T FUCKING HAVE, my friends.
August 24, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Christ Kléber, I couldn’t watch 3 seconds of that ad before welling up and hitting the back button. whatareya trying ta do to me here???
August 25, 2008 at 6:01 am
That’s a piece of genius, mate.
August 25, 2008 at 6:33 am
Just like my PSA for latchkey kids, “Abandoned Refrigerator or Rocket Ship to Mars?”
August 25, 2008 at 6:51 am
And about McCain’s lobbyist problems:
August 25, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Oh, you folks. Here’s the way to do it.
It’s a sad but well-known fact that in prison, inmates sometimes end up “dropping the soap”. The more brutal the prison is, the more often this happens.
John McCain was a special prisoner in the brutal brutal brutal Hanoi Hilton. Right? You know what happened to him. He was broken. He made more propaganda for the Vietnamese than Jane Fonda. My friends, he squealed.
He also shared a tender moment with a guard. That moment is very important to him. What happened later, one can only speculate.
His behavior after returning Stateside is obviously that of a man trying desperately to reaffirm his heterosexuality. Perhaps trying a little too hard? You be the judge.
John Sidney McCain. In the Navy. Come on and join your fellow man.

[...] to support policies that enrich the already very rich. (I’d really love to see this and this getting more play). Energy policy isn’t the capacity to give this particular line of attack [...]
September 4, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Please think about this.
Last night Sarah Pahin said the John McCain would care and work for the American people!
Do you for even one moment belive that John McCain cares about you? Think again!
When John McCain entered the senate minimum wage was $3.35.
In 26 years John McCain had the opportunity to vote 18 times to help raise the standard of living for the neediest Americans.
He voted 18 times against raising the minimum wage.
Why should that matter to you, because all salaries start with the minimum wage baseline.
