    Now that was on topic!?!?!?!?!

    “I am DELUSIONAL!” – John McCain


  4. RUCerious says:

    In his own mind. That’s all folks!


  5. curmudgeon says:

    Well, we certainly wouldn’t want a leader of this country who was humble, would we?


  6. Xisithrus says:

    Jason, your off topic, as always.

    McCains rise is likely due to Rudy and Romneys falling.


  7. curmudgeon says:

    How about just electing someone who still realizes that they are only human, and are willing to admit that such is the case?

    Applying this standard would clearly eliminate several contenders (or should the term be “pretenders”) from both parties.

    bomb bomb bomb bomb my campaign

    McCain is the Israeli candidate.

    They are desperate to position him as Presidential, with Lieberman as his running mate.


  10. Jackie says:

    Will Smith must be smiling to have McCain admit he’s really Black. Looks like brother John can now claim the minority vote. Mitt’s Dad was born a Mexican so what out John, Mitt might pull that secret out for a vote.

    McCain: ‘I am legend.’

    And now a word from our sponsor of Viagra…..


  12. WaltTheMan says:

    At one’s leg end, there is a foot. McCain was using two words and everyone jumped to the conclusion that he was uttering but one.


  13. had enough says:

    What an eye sore McCain has become.


  14. joe cantwell says:

    his name is huck.

    huck hucikabee.

    the man. the legend.


  15. drtichy says:

    Legend????
    I agree: a myth, a fairy tale, a fable.

    He is so slow that he appears to be already dead but forgot – to lay down…

    “I’ve been declared dead in this campaign on five or six occasions. I won’t refer to a recent movie I saw, but I think I am legend,” — McCain

    True, the media has declared McCain’s campaign dead several times, and the first primary vote has not yet been cast.
    Just like the media has been practically ignoring Kucinich, Dodd and Gravel.

    He made a bad joke. At least it wasn’t a real stinker like his “Bomb, bomb Iran” fiasco. That one came back and bit him on the ass hard, heh. Like his flip-flopping.

    What pisses me off is the media not letting us hear what each and every candidate has to say, not just the hand picked “front runner” media darlings of the day.

    Why are candidates being excluded this early?
    Manipulation of the elections?
    This situation is getting pretty damned disgusting, IMHO.

    “I am a legend” says Saint McCain.

    Has anyone told the old coot that he is flattering himself?


  19. RUCerious says:

    McCain is probably the most electable of any of the Repukes. Just wait till be tips us that Joe LIsraelieberman will be his VP on the “bipartisan” ticket.

    Yeah, He was excluded because he “Didn’t rent office space” instead of using space donated by one of his campaign workers.
    This was the “Des Moines Register”, the media, making the decision, not the Iowa Democratic caucus.

    Media censorship, hairsplitting the rules, they the paper made up, at that.


  21. GSD says:

    I think the establishment realizes they can slap the maverick label on McCain to give him the figleaf to cover a stepping away from Chimpy’s toxic legacy.

    Now that they are settling on McCain after giving Rev. Chucklebubba a nice honey moon.

    The media is going to treat Huckabee like his son treats dogs.

    This is going to be an ugly year in America.

    Peter Pointer -
    I am going to have to print that out to read completely- it’s lengthy, but my initial scanning of it looks pretty interesting.

    Add this info to the video interview with Bhutto in November.


  24. Kane says:

    Senator McCain just can’t help himself. It was his egocentric statements like this that convinced primary voters in 2000 that George W Bush was the compassionate and “sane” candidate.


  25. Ditch Mitch KY says:

    “I sealed my fate as a decent American and serious presidential candidate when I sang – Bomb, Bomb, Bomb… Bomb Bomb Iran! John McCain



  26. Veritas says:

    McCain’s old enough to be a legend! He’s become a cypher, that’s certain.


  27. Peter Pointer says:

    he is an old leg end


  28. sacopenapa says:

    ‘I am legend.’’I have my right testicle on my left chin’…


  29. sacopenapa says:

    USUALY WHEN PEOPLE MAKE COMMENTS LIKE THIS THEY ARE TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LACK OF OTHER ATRIBUTES…


  30. Nevar says:

    He’s at the ledge’s end……

    I believe it was the vicious personal attacks used against him that did him in. BushCo did the same thing to Max Cleland and John Kerry.


  32. marlow says:

    More like Carnival of Souls (1962) You’re dead John, you just don’t know it yet. And every bit as creepy.


  33. corsair says:

    Getting yourself shot-down over Vietnam disqualifies anyone from being a ”legend.”
