McFossil. Just saying...
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 02:14 AM by calimary
My husband :loveya: just came up with it. I'm wincing in painfully exquisite delight!

:evilgrin:

He also offered McThuselah too, although others have come up with that one, too.

He's clever, that boy.

Sorry, this night has me feeling snarky, and I'm directing it outward toward our REAL adversary. It sure isn't Hillary Clinton!!!!!

1. there are so many possibilities!
I mean, his own nickname in high school was McNasty. I still like the term coined by the freeper person, McLettuce. It's just so funny, and I'm not sure if I even get it correctly. It's a reference to him being bland, right?

4. I thought it was because lettuce is limp and wilted
and green. Like Zombie McCain!

Man, it is pretty bad when they're coming up with derogatory nicknames for him as well.

rawther green around the edges.

9. ohhhhh, I forgot about that little gem!
I find it mildly disturbing that I find something a freeper said so funny.

10. It was $50 per hour...
...and when people took him up on his offer, he dismissed them, saying "You can't do it, my friend.".

2. McPain, Old McBonkers, McStain, McTraitor, McLame
I love how easy it is to tack on virtually anything and have a story or at least paragraph about the old coot.

7. It's like math - political "mental gymnastics." My husband just said it's "the new Sudoku"!

12. Careful. If we win this November, a big part of our win will be ageism -
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 02:25 AM by smalll
and the crucial, fundamental, bedrock question for early 21st century America -- "Hot Or Not?"

We have to be careful however not to be too obvious about it or take it too far. As a nickname, McSame's a winner for us. McFossil might take a good thing too far.

14. I know. Yes, this is certainly obnoxious snark.
I guess it's the closest to gloating I'll let myself get.

I've cried a few tears over the horrible situation our country is in - on so many levels - how everything that could be fucked up WAS fucked up. It's nice to celebrate, though, and I'm letting myself have a good time among like-minded friends. I think we're due a little levity, like letting out our stomachs and relaxing for a bit, after having to keep it actively sucked in all day.

Besides, we're all gonna have to straighten up, suit back up for battle, and get serious about the fall campaign - which starts NOW.

17. You have every excuse to celebrate.
Enjoy this day. :toast: You've earned it. :hi: (This coming from a Hillary supporter, and yet I mean it. :) )

22. I am, and I eagerly embrace all Hillary supporters!
She, and you guys, made history ALSO. It just so happened that TWO equally deserving groups of traditionally disenfranchised people have seen their decades and decades of work toward full participation on the highest levels come to a head at the same time. It's the law of physics, I think - you can't have two things occupying the same single space.

You worked hard, too. Damn hard!

:patriot:

18. I wouldn't dare say anything like that at one of our
central committee meetings. About half of our precinct committeemen are his age or older -- and they still walk their precincts!

13. My husband's still at it: McSparky ('cause he's anything but!) McSpry.
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 02:26 AM by calimary
I'm about to cave in, laughing!

McSpry!

:rofl:


Oh shit - he's on a roll now. McFudd.
