A pair of retarded monkeys getting together , looking for acceptance ; how quaint …………..
March 4th, 2008 at 8:47 pmAh, the kiss of death and destruction. George W Bush destroys everything he touches and McCain is trusting his career with Bush. Ha!
March 4th, 2008 at 8:48 pmOops. This is worse than the Hagee endorsement. John is truely insane.
March 4th, 2008 at 8:49 pmBig hug for the King from McCain!
March 4th, 2008 at 8:52 pmWell, since Bush has screwed up everything he touches, that’s a FANTASTIC thing!
Heckova job!
March 4th, 2008 at 8:54 pmCNN, MSNBC, and Fox News are reporting that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) will head to the White House tomorrow to accept President Bush’s endorsement.
Meanwhile McInsane was overheard muttering : ” I’d prefer that bamboo stalks be shoved up my stupid ass”…………
March 4th, 2008 at 8:54 pm“Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) will head to the White House tomorrow to accept President Bush’s endorsement”
–The single best thing that could happen for the democrats. The ultimate albatross around Slappy’s neck.
The democratic nominee should remind everyone at each campaign event, rally and fundraiser, and bring this up on every television appearance with talking heads:
1) slappy is the guy shrub has chosen as most likely to continue with his failed policies, and
2) is the country better off as a result of seven years of those policies.
March 4th, 2008 at 8:55 pmHow shamefully embarrassing for McMaverick, to have to allow the shirker, the Cheerleader Prince, to be the “daddy”.
Let the Republican’t homoerotic nightmares begin!!!
March 4th, 2008 at 9:01 pmThe Bush support team at MSNBC must be real happy to announce that their Liar-in-Chief will endorse a suck up who will stay the course. Americans can now look forward to the United States going bankrupt. I guess that hug was one that last forever.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:01 pmThe kiss of death, of course. Two birds flock like a feather.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:04 pmWill he be bringing along that illegitimate black child of his?
March 4th, 2008 at 9:06 pmTweety Matthews just claimed that McInsane , by virtue of his already being the garbage GOP’s nominee , is the MOST LIKELY SUCCESSOR to Chimpy ; based upon what ?
The retarded 19%’ers known as the Chimpy Adoration Brigade stringent insistence on following these losers no matter what ?
March 4th, 2008 at 9:06 pmthat’ll help.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:08 pmWow, like he has any choice at this stage in the election? What a ringing act of approval!
Comment by republicans hate facts — March 4, 2008 @ 8:50 pm
Kinda reminds me of what our U.S. Rep, David Davis (R-TN), said when he appeared with Huckabee at a local rally a few days before Super Tuesday; he declared that he would endorse Huckabee if he ended up being the nominee.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:08 pmOh yes please Sen. McCain — please do go to Washington and take lots and lots of hi-def pics and videos with President 19% slobbering all over you. The hugging, kissing, hand-holding — yes — all of it.
And if the Dem strategists were smart they’d be instantly compiling a nice hefty database with all of those videos and photos to hang like an albtross around McCain’s withered, sun-burnt neck come November.
Just saying . . .
March 4th, 2008 at 9:11 pmRemember grandpa, keep it ABOVE the waist this time. Got it?
March 4th, 2008 at 9:12 pmGoodie. This is just what is needed for a landslide in November. Now if one of Democratic candidates would stop stabbing the party in the heart, we could get on with it. This campaign has gone on way too long. Time to fish or cut bait.

How shamefully embarrassing for McMaverick, to have to allow the shirker, the Cheerleader Prince, to be the “daddyâ€.
Why embarrassing Tom? He has chosen to “head” BushCo of his own free will. He appears to enjoy hugging Bush. It all goes with the territory, and he knows that.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:13 pmSure hope that GDumbya’s is at least as liquored up as he has been on his last few appearances.
McLame will be sure to pack his knee-pads for the trip.
Should be quite a spectacle.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:16 pmBush to endorse McCain tomorrow
There is a god and he/she loves me.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:21 pmBush to endorse McCain tomorrow is like catching the supermodel with spinach in her teeth, the traffic court judge with toilet paper stuck to his shoe, finding a cell phone in the urinal. Some things just feel right.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:25 pmOh yeah, McNut is running, running on his “I am Bush Lite, I am a Liberal Republican and I have my nose so far up the Religious Right’s ass that I will crawl in bed with a cracker pastor.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:29 pmBye, Huck. :-D
March 4th, 2008 at 9:32 pmDaryll’s god seems to have bet on the wrong pony
March 4th, 2008 at 9:35 pmJust consider this a fair warning for what is to come–a full court press by the corporate media to elect McCantankerous so we can have more war, tax cuts for billionaires, spying on all Americans, and an increasingly lower standard of living for 95% of the American people
March 4th, 2008 at 9:36 pmHandcuff them both together. Let them campaign together… the more that Bush is out there, the more the Dems will win in the Fall.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:43 pmIt has been my dream that McCain win the republican nomination because he cannot win the general election – without the help of Diebold.
Not only is McCain toast on his own merits but now he will be given the kiss of death by George W. Bush.

BLASPHEMER!!!
Heh. I always wanted to do that. :-D
March 4th, 2008 at 9:45 pmDamn it isn’t like I said “that halibut was fit for Jehovah”
March 4th, 2008 at 10:10 pmI know, it’s not the same as when Daryll does it. ;)
March 4th, 2008 at 10:15 pmUPDATE II: The Swamp has more details on McCain’s visit to the White House:
At the White House on Wednesday, Bush plans a noon welcome for McCain at the North Portico. Bush will host a lunch for McCain in the private dining room. Bush then plans a public statement with John McCain in the Rose Garden.
he’s gotta fill him in on the latest – “revamping the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board” and the IOB…
you know, dismantling the usual safeguards…
i have a most horrible feeling that the fix is in…
March 4th, 2008 at 10:16 pma done deal folks…
Ok good news! Pin Bush to McCain as much as possible. Bush is the best weapon the democrats have.
March 4th, 2008 at 10:17 pmBush will host a lunch for McCain in the private dining room.
On the menu for McCain is crow.
March 4th, 2008 at 10:21 pmAnd someone needs to remind John McCain to be true to himself, and NOT pander to the right “wing nuts”, if he wants to win in November, with the support of Independents and moderate Republicans — the REAL Conservatives!!

Ummm , why ?
Just because a GOP stooge like your moronic self wants McInsane to win , doesn’t mean most Americans do ; and certainly not any American with viable brain matter in their head ……………..
March 4th, 2008 at 10:29 pmSorry, Doc, that ship has sailed. Falwell, Hagee, Liberty University,
Shrub, Jack Kemp. You can’t play 3/4 of the game and then ask for a redo.
Face it. McCantankerous is toast, and that’s a good thing.

March 4th, 2008 at 10:31 pmWell, isn’t this special. Heckle and Jeckle swapping spit. You can’t make this kind of stuff up, manna from heaven. Please oh please take lots of photos and hug and kiss and hold hands and look deep into each others eyes and swoon. I would love to watch this tomorrow but I have kind of a weak stomach and don’t seem to have any pepto around. I’ll just let my imagination run wild. Thank you Lord.

That’s a cormorant drying it’s wings since it lacks the oil glands which waterproof true ducks
March 4th, 2008 at 10:35 pmSo Mr. Magoo gets the Dim Son’s endorsement. Big shock. ALL Mr. Magoo promises is to be Boy George III — only worse.
Can you say “McSame?” I knew you could.
March 4th, 2008 at 10:39 pmThis from Wiki:
McCain’s war wounds leave him unable to attend to his own hair and he sometimes requires assistance in dressing, tasks performed by nearby aides. His former communications director has said, “You comb someone’s hair once, and you never forget it.” McCain has been treated for recurrent skin cancer, including melanoma, in 1993, 2000, and 2002; one of the resulting operations left a noticeable mark on the left side of his face. These medical conditions, combined with his advancing years, led him to repeatedly use a self-deprecating remark during his 2007 campaigning: “I am older than dirt and have more scars than Frankenstein.”
Now, McBush is 71, I believe. As President for 8 years he would be 79! The man is already not up to being the president at 71! Imagine his second term!He should not even be running.
His health should be brought up and questioned during the campaign, not that it will. The public should be aware of how fragile he is!

Stop by again, soon!

March 4th, 2008 at 10:48 pmTell Congress: Pass HR 5036 Emergency Bill for Secure Elections in 2008
Now is your best chance to to help make the 2008 Presidential election verifiable. Please ask your members of Congress to co-sponsor the “Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act of 2008†(HR5036), Representative Rush Holt’s bill to provide emergency funding for paper ballots voting systems and random hand counted audits of the November elections.

Do they roost in tree tops? I seem to have seen this bird locally, or one like it, high in the trees, poopin’ all over the place! Really, they(the poop) turn the landscape a monochrome whitish-grey.

I’ve only ever seen cormorants near the ocean, but dbadass would be the expert. I think these were in the Portland, OR area.
March 4th, 2008 at 10:55 pmdouble crested cormorant occur on freshwater as well but less so. I would need to know where DieNowForPeace was to make a real answers. With the exception of the related but distinctly different Anhinga they are much for tree perching and instead roost and nest in on the ground in rocky areas
March 4th, 2008 at 11:21 pmSince McGrumpy and Chimpy McFlightsuit are both world renowned “jet pilots” I would have expected them to both fly onto an aircraft carrier to do this announcement.
Maybe put up a banner that says, “Mission To Be Accomplished, 8 More Years” or something equally catchy. Imagine how the wingnuts would swoon over seeing their two heros with their codpieces and smirks proclaiming less taxes for the rich and more wars to kill the poor. Now that would bring in the contributions and endorsements wouldn’t it!
Just brainstorming here because I’m certainly for 8 more years of Bush’s America. After all, I still have $5 in my savings account so I must be doing well.
March 5th, 2008 at 12:09 amJohn McCain is really “Ronald Gump”
March 5th, 2008 at 12:19 amI would politely like to say . . . . . . B . . F. . D !
March 5th, 2008 at 12:30 amPlease, someone tell me who cares who this pig endorses ?
Slime on slime . . they deserve one another.
March 5th, 2008 at 12:31 amI seem to remember a certain brain-dead troll who used to call Huckabee “president elect”.
Obviously, reichwingers are not very good at the foretelling business, their god’s help notwithstanding.
Heh.
March 5th, 2008 at 12:59 amWow John, You’re racking the endorsements up. Too bad they’re coming from failed dictators (Bush) and Christo-Fascist religious hacks like Hagee.
Texas bullshit is the worst kind.
March 5th, 2008 at 1:51 am#5. Oh yeah. I bet George will slobber a big kiss on McCain’s bald head (and maybe get in a quick fondle or two). Two losers for the price of one.
March 5th, 2008 at 9:25 amThe Bush administration is over. Thank GOD
March 5th, 2008 at 9:49 amTheir private meeting will be where Bush will hand over his Rolodex to McCain, so McCain can tap Bush’s base of the Haves and the Haves-more for campaign donations. He will also receive the big box of Rovian dirty tricks.
