McCain dislikes wearing ‘gay sweaters.’
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) reportedly is complaining about his aides forcing him to wear “gay sweaters” in order to look younger:
According to one insider, the knit-picking was the crescendo of a tirade by the Arizona senator, in which he blistered aides about the minutiae of the campaign. … McCain reportedly declared his frustration with being told to don the perceived homosexual outerwear in order to look younger and more approachable.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH~~!!
That won’t make him look younger, just more hypocritical.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:34 amEven that “gay” sweater doesn’t make McCain look younger or more approachable, what are his aides thinking?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:34 amMcCain would need to wear about eight sweaters at the same time to look younger.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:35 amLOL then why does he wear the sweaters? V-neck stuff means you are a nerd and NOT a Gay guy.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:35 amHilarious. Will this guy still be a candidate by Labor Day?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:36 amWho the hell cares what McJowls says or does. Another irrelevant figure.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:37 amForget about the sweaters, John. You look like an old washed up fossil no matter what you wear!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:37 amThe sweaters do not make you look gay, Senator McCain, not that there’s anything wrong with that. They do make you look like an even bigger jackass. And I really didn’t think that was possible.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:38 amMcCain prefers to wear his smelly blue work shirt, with the underarm stains, but most Americans know he does not even bother to show up to vote in the Senate anymore.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:39 amHey, he’s old enough, he still uses it to mean happy.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:39 amMcCain’s ship is sinking and he’s moving deck chairs and changing curtains.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:40 amTP (Tabloid Progressive) This is news?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:41 amWe should start a letter writing campaign to convince McCain to get his nose pierced!
I mean uh…it would make him look so much younger!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:41 amMcFrickenCrazy, He reminds me of all the trolls!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:41 amDid McCain or his staff notice that it is summer time now? Wearing sweaters of any kind means you are stupid when weather is HOT!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:41 amWhy doesn’t someone just spell it out for him. He won’t ever be president ot the US no matter what he wears.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:42 amHe’s right, they do look ‘gay’. As a matter of fact, the blue one he’s wearing and another one (the chartreuse one, I think) were outed on TMZ.

Coming from a Fox news watcher?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:43 amLOL..what an idiot. Some reporter should ask him, if you can’t dress yourself, how do plan on running a country?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:43 amMcCain dislikes wearing “gay” sweaters…
…but, curiously, likes wearing Depends!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:43 amMcCain wears a kevlar bullet proof vest under his t-shirt, so the sweaters probably make it less noticable. Kevlar keeps you sweaty, so a sweater on top of it makes it worse.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:45 amI’m almost starting to feel sorry for the old, senile, decrepit fu(ker.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:45 amAlmost.

He should ask (T)Rudie for fashion advice, his staff is not getting it right =D
July 11th, 2007 at 11:50 amIn a way, I don’t blame McCain (although I don’t equate sweaters with sexual orientation). He’s bristling against being “handled”. Unfortunately, to win an election these days one has to submit to the handlers because the American electorate demands their candidates be polished a certain way.
It would be nice if substance counted for more than packaging does, but (alas) the opposite seems to be true in our culture.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:51 amKathy Griffin’s gays do not wear sweaters!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:51 amgay sweaters…
the public demise of McCain has been epic. he’s like a tragic character from a Dosteyevski novel.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:52 amMcCain made an infantile comment.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:52 amWasn’t “Gay Sweater” a Violent Femmes song? ; )

You mean like Hillary Clinton having herself dressed by experts that tell her what looks good to the people she is lying too? or how John Edwards has advisers telling him how to cut his hair so he looks attractive to the voters?
Libtards, this type of stuff goes on on both side of the eisle, only the Libtards are stupid enough to believe that only McCain, who is himself a retard, is doing stuff like this.

moahaaha
McCain is so done…why the heck does anyone still consider him relevant enough to discuss?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:53 amYou’ve got to feel some sympathy for the man. He’s a patriotic American who served the country honorably. Its regretable that he’s gone over to the dark side. As to wearing sweaters, what else can his people do? Money woes, loss of momentum, abandoned by the dark side. Its the proverbial bucket brigade on the Titanic. It doesn’t matter, but they’re doing something. Its a sad period for the man.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:54 amIf I was advising McCain, then I would tell him to wear a Panama style hat to cover his thinning white hair and to wear Caribbean short sleeve shirts with flowers, or parrots, etc on them. Cargo shorts with sandals would be good idea too. That would make him look like a cool old CIA agent.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:54 ami wouldnt be a bit surprised though/ remember he was a pow. no tellin why they sat him free.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:54 amdid they force the Sweater to resign?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:55 amHeard of a mohair sweater but never a homohair sweater.

Does it choose to be gay?
Is it knitted gay?
Do other sweaters harass gay sweaters?
Can gay sweaters get married?
Won’t someone please think about the gay sweaters!!!?

July 11th, 2007 at 12:10 pmEven though I don’t agree with McCain on most political issues, I have a bit of respect for him for resisting a faux image.
Unlike Fred Thompson, who has no trouble driving a red pickup truck to portray himself as a folksy rural grandfather type instead of the Washington lobbyist lawyer he really is.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:11 pmFlake-o is worried that homophobia doesn’t become a legend. Now, who’d like to see McCaned in fur?

Is McCain running for President? I hadn’t noticed . . . like the rest of the country.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:13 pmI thought red pickup trucks were Lesbian chic?
July 11th, 2007 at 12:13 pmMcCain’s a grown man. The other people you mentioned aren’t whining like a 2yr old about how their handlers are doing.
If McCain has a problem with the dress, do what adults do, deal with your handlers or dress yourself, don’t whine to the reporters/public like a 2yr child. Yeah, that sure instills competance.

July 11th, 2007 at 12:15 pmIt sounds like anyone campaigning for McCain is trying to deliberatly sabotage his chances.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:16 pmMr Pee-brain, how was Transformers? Cool, eh? If only the beat up red pickup that is the Republican Party could transform into a robotic killing machine. Ooops, I guess it did in Iraq.
I see you’re calling yourself Conserva-tron after Mega-tron. Cool handle. It really goes with the Prince of Darkness motif the White House has adopted.
So, you have a personal trainer? Clothing consultant? Do you always take a seat in the chair that says “Sit here for a free make-over”? You do seem to undergo a makeover every 48 hours.
Sadly, I don’t see McCain recovering. He was clearly told to complain about “gay sweaters” to make him look like the straight shooter. Instead he looks like that evangelical doofus who thought TinkyWinky and Spongebob were gay.

No McCain is doing this all to himself, just like his “Bomb, bomb Iran” song. He is in some kind of self destruct mode mentally.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:21 pmMcCain could have massive facial plastic surgery to remove his cheek scar and hair implants on his head. Then dye his hair jet black like Reagan did and slicked back. Perhaps a black mustache too to give him that wild Hitlerian look.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:22 pmI think McCain should go for some Scottish heritage angle and start wearing a kilt. That’s manly. And then, when the press question his balls, he can give them a quick flash.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:23 pmI agree. McCain should “get some work done” before he starts his new career as a commentator on Fix’d News.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:24 pmThe man is too old to be president.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:24 pmThere is NOTHING that McCain can do to look younger. He’s old, he looks old and he acts old, and that’s a fact.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:27 pmdavid > McCain might have knobby knees and appear goofy in a kilt. Now if he played the bagpipes in that garb, then he might get some votes.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:28 pm“knit-picking”
Groan.

McCain is washed up. He lost all legitimacy when he okayed Bush’s command to let him authorize torture.
Good riddance; he’s subhuman filth.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:34 pmWhy is John McCain storing so many nuts in his cheeks? Is it going to be a cold winter, or what?
July 11th, 2007 at 12:42 pm“Senator McCain, is that sweater Cashmere or Mohair”?
July 11th, 2007 at 12:45 pm#28 miss molly….
Yes! You hit the nail on the head. If anyone thinks that EVERY candidate isn’t getting “handled” for consumption by the public, then they are in fantasyland. I’m a die-hard dem, but would have supported McCain if he hadn’t slid so far to the right in order to be a viable Repub candidate. Its sad to see how badly he’s lost his way. McCain is one of the guys who can win in a general election, but not the primary.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:46 pmMcCain is right!
The Repubican party needs to nominate a real man’s man – like cross dresser (T)Rudy Guiliani!
July 11th, 2007 at 12:50 pmEr…Mr. McCain, your sweater is Blue not Pink, and you will look old no matter what you have on.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:52 pmWATB!
I wasn’t aware that he could get into a pull-over.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:54 pmLooks like Spock to me.
“Live long and get the hell outta Iraq”
July 11th, 2007 at 12:57 pmEwwwww, gay people! Sick.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:00 pmNext thing ya know they’ll be marrying their sweaters.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:01 pmLOL! Changing to gay clothes still don’t change his birth certificate.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:03 pmSomeone needs to tell pro-amnesty anti-tax cut McCain to shove it.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:10 pmI favor wool sweaters over the ones used by McCain.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:11 pmHe’ll gain a point with Republicans… nice.
Be honest though – gay people dressed nice long before straight people. So if the sweater looks nice, then yeah – it’s probably gay. But that’s not a bad thing.
And I’m sure McCain didn’t mean, when he said he didn’t want to wear it – that it was because it had gay connotations. It just wasn’t his style. Big woop.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:14 pmOh My God! I have a Gay sweater!! That evil gay little sweater!
Jebus hates the gay sweaters!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:15 pm“Gay sweaters make Jesus cry…”
July 11th, 2007 at 1:16 pmBwahahahaha!
That’s just so funny. What a moron.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:17 pmMcCain is just scared that fundie wacko Fred Phelps and his family will show up at his next photo op with signs that say “God Hates Your Sweater!”
July 11th, 2007 at 1:19 pm…”Gay” or not, why are they putting sweaters on him in JULY in the FIRST damn place?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:20 pmDaryll, are you in here now?

Did you spend that on another gay sweater?

Any chance of “deprogramming the sweater at your gender preference reassignment camp?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:31 pmFear not, Mr. McCain…you are good enough looking for anyone to mistake you for gay. Poor delusional old geezer.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:37 pmSweaters are gay? That’s quite a statement coming from a man who French-kissed Chimpy on global TV.
He’s just in a foul mood because he knows that America doesn’t think he’s “the right stuff” anymore.
But seriously, don’t you think he’d be stunning in a pink 2-piece bikini, tierra and lavender boa?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:39 pm. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Gay Sweater…” Jesus.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:51 pmPerhaps Weezer’s Sweater Song can become his new campaign tune. At this point it can only help.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:55 pmI think he should go for a YMCA moustache.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:56 pmMaybe McCain is gay. I recall Rock Hudson used to do all kind of silly stuff and complain that it made him look effeminate as a ruse to throw the media off the track. Perhaps McCain has a secret. And that’s the Straight Talk.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:00 pmWhat’s your point TP?
Oh that’s right, you want to keep these brain-dead Leftists distracted.

July 11th, 2007 at 2:21 pmHey John, just because a sweater shows off your man-boobs doesn’t mean it makes you look gay.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:24 pmHey Spock:
July 11th, 2007 at 2:25 pmEveryone knows about George’s lifestyle. Well other than that tramp Yeoman Rand. Atleast the Federation was wise enough to get rid of that stupid “don’t ask, don’t tell” crap.
Good thing he fired them, they don’t look gay or make him look younger. They sure as hell don’t do anything to give the impression that McCain is not becoming senile.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:29 pmMcCain has to find SOMETHING wrong with his handlers and campaign folks. You can’t expect him to fire them for the sole reason that his popularity is shrinking like a waterboarded wool sweater, can you?
July 11th, 2007 at 2:47 pmDon’t like it, then grow a pair, dress yourself and stop being ‘handled’. Geez, this is a great example of what is wrong with most politicians. Forget being an original. Set your decisions based on decision by committee, or focus groups. And of course, there is never accountability that any failure could possibly be blamed on YOU. John, your message is as tired as your wardrobe choices. Just shut up, or better yet, retire already. Nobody is buying your, or your repub buddies, brand of bs anymore.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:49 pmWhich one is gayest? The sweater or this:

July 11th, 2007 at 3:07 pmIf I was advising McCain, then I would tell him to wear a Panama style hat to cover his thinning white hair and to wear Caribbean short sleeve shirts with flowers, or parrots, etc on them. Cargo shorts with sandals would be good idea too. That would make him look like a cool old CIA agent.
Or Jimmy Buffet.
July 11th, 2007 at 3:31 pmSadly, I believe the truth will out. The real reason McCain was outted wearing a V-neck sweater is that his staff had to cut the neckline when his big fat head got stuck.
July 11th, 2007 at 3:39 pmOkay, I’m gay, and I think that’s an ugly sweater. Don’t wear v-necks unless you’ve got the man-cleavage to pull it off.
July 11th, 2007 at 3:44 pmLOL at comment by House of Mayhem. (comment 112).
Sorry, it takes more than clothes to make a crazy man appear sane.
July 11th, 2007 at 3:49 pmI think sweater wearers should be able to marry and live together in peace and harmony.
July 11th, 2007 at 4:46 pmMaybe he should try leather……

————————–
Miss Molly,
I disagree. It seems more likely that it’s the handlers who create the limited variety of substance, and we voters are stuck voting for the lesser of two evils.
When was the last time you voted for someone (especially the president) because you fully supported them, as opposed to thinking they were “not great, but better than the other choice”?
July 11th, 2007 at 5:53 pmHow do you take a worm-infested pile of dogsh*t and make it look appetizing?
July 11th, 2007 at 6:28 pmMcCain is a candidate who knows in his gut that he can no longer win the nomination because he has lost credibility among republicans. Plus he can’t raise money. He is out of touch with reality. Despite so many trips to Iraq he has no clue as to how bad it really is for our troops and how dangerous it has become for the average Iraqi. Instead of holding photo ops with Petraeus and Maliki he should talk to soldiers when the cameras and reporters are gone.
They will give him the real picture. He should step outside the Green zone and talk to soldiers who have to sleep inside Iraqi police stations which are routinely attacked by insurgents. He should take the trouble to read our intelligence reports that will tell him how bad it is. His inability to admit that he is on the wrong side of this issue has hurt him immensely. He is out of touch. Instead of worrying about what clothing he is being asked to wear, he should worry about our troops.
July 11th, 2007 at 7:41 pmMan there are a lot of queers that read thinkprogress
July 11th, 2007 at 8:51 pmJohnnie get yer gun cuz you’re nuthin but done hun
July 11th, 2007 at 8:55 pmif he wants to get the gay voters maybe he needs to sing barbra streisand songs again.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:12 pmWHO HAS THE HAMMERS? THE CREEPS ARE BACK FORM THE NORTH POLE, THEY ATE THE PIZZAS!!!
THEY WERE GONE FOR NINETEENWEEKS!!!
MCCAIN LOOKS GAY IN THAT SWEATER, HE LOOKS GEYER NAKED!!!!
July 11th, 2007 at 9:12 pmEven a gay sweater won’t save him from decaying, he needs to wear a real human skin!
July 11th, 2007 at 10:02 pmhahahahahaah
July 11th, 2007 at 10:15 pmSo Senator McCain was strong enough to survive years of torture as a POW, but he isn’t strong enough to choose his own clothes, and lets his aides tell him how to dress?
Please.
July 11th, 2007 at 10:43 pmwell, Senator, GO ON, break out that flightsuit with the codpiece so we can all see what a REAL man you are! but you DO know, sir, that there is a precedent for this wardrobe decision?
July 11th, 2007 at 10:59 pmWell….you must admit, those sweaters do look gay. I have three just like them!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:03 pmthis guy is a big tough old man….not gay at all!!!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:14 pmSweaters become gay when John McCain wears them.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:15 pmQuit your butthurt whining you worthless faggots. If the man doesn’t want to wear gay sweaters, that’s his prerogative.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:30 pmOk, Bush also, haha: http://zonow.com/104
July 11th, 2007 at 11:37 pmI’m gay and that sweater makes me want to drop Dego, my lover, and just make love to McCains mangina

Are you talking about the Castro Clone look? I believe the technical name for that sort of moustache is “dick duster”, if you will pardon my french (and my pun).
July 12th, 2007 at 12:02 amI remember a time when “gay” did not automatically mean homosexuall… I believe he might, too.
July 12th, 2007 at 6:08 amLove how any average joe can use the word gay as an adjective, but the minute ANYONE even remotely associated with the GOP do they are the height of hypocrisy. :)
July 12th, 2007 at 8:43 am1. A gay guy wouldn’t be caught dead in that hideous sweater, so I don’t know what McCain is really saying here.
2. People should learn to not use gay as an adjective unless they are talking about someone who is a homosexual. It would cause a lot less confusion and drama. If you say gay to mean dumb, just say dumb. If you say gay to mean feminine or girly, say feminine or girly.
July 12th, 2007 at 9:10 amit’s the middle of july, yet i can feel a fireside chat coming on.a white-haired man in a blue sweater is comforting to our nation in these uncertain times-let’s just hope he doesn’t blow a gasket while getting prepped for this F.D.R. moment.
July 12th, 2007 at 9:52 amDamn you McCain. Dont leaaaaaaave me BOGIEEEEEEEEEEE :’(
July 12th, 2007 at 11:23 amI don’t know about “gay”, don’t stereotypical gays have some fashion sense?
Also, he doesn’t look “younger” in that picture, he looks like a retiree being hassled about something by a local news crew: “No, I don’t give a damn about your ‘fashion beat’ segment, let me finish my book in peace!”
July 12th, 2007 at 12:56 pmOh brother, who cares. This is how people talk.
July 12th, 2007 at 1:39 pmgay means happy. Did he actually say homosexual or did he just say gay? gay only means homosexual if you use it in that context.
July 12th, 2007 at 3:31 pmIs John McCain a RINO with anger management problems?
Sorry, I couldn’t tell for sure, perhaps because of all those gay sweaters he wears…
July 12th, 2007 at 3:56 pmI think McCain looks more approachable….from behind.
July 12th, 2007 at 5:03 pmI think McCain looks more approachable…..from behind.
July 12th, 2007 at 5:04 pmWow, McCain is gay, huh? (Right-wing nut bag logic, but what the hell, what goes around comes around eh, red staters?)
July 12th, 2007 at 5:07 pmHe’s so worried about the sweaters but it’s the buttless chaps that make him look gay.
July 12th, 2007 at 11:30 pmYou all suck, but not that well, my hand does a better job than you suckers could.
July 13th, 2007 at 10:22 amYou a turd burglar Beavis, shut up!
July 13th, 2007 at 12:44 pmMaybe he thinks sweaters are gay, but large chested overweight women sure do look good with them on, or even better with noting on, hahahahahaha. Those coochy flavored cigars sure are great to. Any young women here want to party with the Bubba?
July 13th, 2007 at 12:46 pmThe only gay sweater he needs to worry about was in a hot Florida john offering $20 and a BJ to an undercover cop.
July 13th, 2007 at 3:56 pmAs heard on “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” (NPR game quiz from WBEZ in Chicago)…
July 14th, 2007 at 11:47 am“Who knew sweaters had sexual Orientation?”
Peter Sagal: “It’s not their choice, it’s how they’re made.”
He was just miffed because gay sweaters make his ass look fat.
July 15th, 2007 at 1:25 amIt’s the frickin white t-shirt underneath that makes him look gay
July 15th, 2007 at 1:28 amGod kills a kitten everytime McCain wears a “Gay” sweater.
