"Or":
Q. "Do you think she’s the face of the Republican party going forward?
McCAIN: I think to a large degree as Vice President, or….OR…I think there’s no doubt. Because she has united our party in a large degree, and she’s in many ways an inspirational figure….
McCain sure looks like he’d like to put that toothpaste back in the tube.

You never know; have you seen his teeth? Not good….
What a bizarre man.
On another note, not sure if this has made the rounds already, but this Obama campaign video should really be seen by a lot of people, especially the last part. Wow:

There’s that really creepy eye roll again.
Campaign fatigue. I watched part of a stump speech he did this morning, he sounded delirious. Cindy looks and acts like she is about to crack, and Sarah Palin is beginning to loose her voice, it was weak and cracking in the speech she gave today.
pssst… Jane, that ain’t toothpaste… it’s Preparation H…
Possbily Mcnutjob is starting to figure out “bible spice” is more popular than he is by far.
I think Johnny thinks he’s being funny and entertaining when he does that. Unfortunately.
Watertiger shops for T-shirts. The best one: MaveWreck.
even Barack looked tired in the Rachel Maddow interview.
she’s the face of the ascendant nationalist christian element that has seized control of the republican party — and guaranfuckingteed she will be on the national scene in the immediate future. you not only fucked yourself — you fucked your party.
congratulations, st johnnie the tortured.
“or…OR” … or as preznit? oopsie.
That is how he winds up his brain.
I think you may be right. He has really been yukking it up lately. Bad strategy combined with an oddly nervous tick?
Paylin is fading fast however. Napolitano in AZ is now a “more popular” governor than Mooselini. Funny enough, if the 2010 AZ Senate race were today, Napolitano beat McInsane by a wide margin. Let’s hope she runs in 2010!
forget about the Bradley effect. In FL it may be the Schmendrick effect. (Al Giordano):
Well, Laura Ingraham still believes Sarah Palin is really the bright spot in the campaign.
So, er, yes, I’m sure McCain would rather take it back than sound like that delusional nutball.
I don’t see how anyone thought the woman had half a brain in the first place.
tbsa: I think Johnny thinks he’s being funny and entertaining when he does that. Unfortunately
That’s exactly right. Those that love her hated him to start with, and those that hate her hate him for nominating her.
She united the party by scaring off moderates and independents the GOP is now the party of White Men and Women yes with a few Hispanics and no African Americans since Rep JC Watts left almost ten years ago?
Its prowar, antiabortion and very vocal about violence to Obama its like the Nazi’s taking over the German Government.
The GOP has been compromised by Sarah voters.
Maybe McCain is possessed like that little kid on “My name is Earl ” was last night…by Vodoo spirits angry at the GOP for New Orleans.
He was, after all, in a way, suggesting the possibility his death in the near future, or his inability for some other reason to perform his duties when he said, “or”. So it would make sense that he caught himself and wished to stuff it back in the tube.
‘an inspirational figure’ – its clear he finds her figure inspiring.
Digg It
But how many will vote if they are to embarrassed to tell pollsters let alone friends and family that they are for McCain? Its one thing to say undecided to a pollster its another to lie to friends and family if you did the exact opposite.
It does remind me of some possessed creature. *g*
Put her on the front of the ticket now for a super mavericky stunt! She is the face of the party now. She may not be in six months. With luck, Dubya will be the real face of the party forever.
Or McCain’s “or” was a reference to Palin not being VP – i.e., the McCain-Palin ticket losing on Nov. 4.
Palin = face of the Party. McCain = ass of the Party.
McCain, like Dubya was always the guy with a lampshade on his head. The ass of the party.
Opps forgot about Sarah and her witchcraft hating preacher I’m sure this Halloween all the Witches will be setting the Hex on Sarah.
I wonder what the polls will say after Halloween:)
“ding dong, the witch is dead”, of course. “g”
So that’s how the Party reared its head.
Toothpaste might spoil McCain’s much coveted Ferengi smile.
Which old witch?
It ? like Gollum? only McCain’s “Precious” is the White House.
http://www.google.com/search?h…..38;oq=Goll
Which give the eye rolling and the Dead Fish skin complexion John and Gollum might have the same make up artist…and drug dealer.
I think McCain is on speed with the rapid eye blinking during the debates and Gollum in the movies seems like a strung out Junkie.
LOL that was Perfect!
The wicked witch!
Sarah the wicked Christian Right Witch!
Dugg, thanks for the link.
Thanks Jane. I think her next GOP primary opponent will emphasize the $150,0000 on clothes,
Federline,First Dude, the alleged affairs, abuse of power, Alaskan secession and all the other crap she has pulled.OT, I remember when McCain picked her, you WISELY counseled Dems to avoid attacking the sordid stuff, because it would only transform her into a martyr.
1,818 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…
Citizen Hamsher and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:
When is this guy a parody of himself…good lord, and people really think this fuckin election is gunna be close on Tuesday??!! Give me a break!
On a topic us “late niters” chewed on this AM, what do you think of the possibility of gettin’ Rahm outta the Congress as Obama’s COS…and how is Howie dealin’ with that rumor?
KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, WE’LL HAFTA HUNT ‘EM DOWN BUT THEY’LL BE EASY TA SPOT!!
aka Bible Spice
even Barack looked tired in the Rachel Maddow interview.
Actually, Rachel said he looked relaxed and was totally engaged. I don’t know how he does it. Sure says something about stamina!
New Hamsher
The house the contractors who gave to her campaign built for her, the financial stuff over billing the state of Alaska leaving her hometown Wassila millions in debt, her home town being Alaska’s meth capital thats all still fair game right.
collectively, Mavwreck.
And that he needs Secret Service protection from his running mate.
That is what I thought, and his raised eyebrows were his socially retarded expression of faux surprise that he would even consider losing as a likely outcome.
I don’t quite get the implication here, that he was saying that she would be president some day in the future, or in his place because the Neocon die is cast?!
I think it is nearly impossible that McCain even recalls much of what he says. Not to be unkind, but so much of it is either confused, off the cuff, sort like the impulsive stop the campaign…..I do not think one can recall such random, scatter shot, reactive stuff. He’s tired and under pressure; I would guess he is paying little attention and doesn’t know what he has said/is saying.
Beginning to answer a question in the affirmative before you actually hear and comprehend the entire question is NOT one of the attributes we seek in a President.
He forgot she knows more about energy than anybody, and was the MOST qualified for vice-president.
Come on John, give her your all.
(Cause if you don’t, she’ll take it from you.)
