McCain To Be In German Restaurant While Obama Gives Berlin Speech
By Greg Sargent - July 24, 2008, 12:08PM


Not sure what to make of this. While Obama gives his historic speech in Berlin today, John McCain will be lunching in a German restaurant in Ohio.

Farah Hice, a hostess at Schmidt's Restaurant and Sausage Haus in Columbus, just confirmed to me by phone that McCain just walked into the restaurant and is staying for lunch.

Perhaps the goal is to mock Obama's speech, just as the RNC is trying to do by running ads in three places in the United States called "Berlin." But doesn't it risk making McCain look a bit small in comparison?


Late Update: In fairness, I should add that I really don't know if the goal here is to mock Obama's speech, so perhaps it's premature to suggest that he may look small in comparison. McCain is mingling with small-business owners today.

1. In fairness...

Schmidt's is AWESOME.

I doubt he can handle the Bahama Mama, though.

[Kittycat]

8. No way - the Bahama Mama would cause his ulcer's to explode.

God do I miss Schmidts. Do they still have the location over on the North side of town? (Maybe it was NorthEast). I used to go to the German Village, until that one opened.

Spaetzle with Brown Mushroom gravy & green beans. Great, now I'm hungry :(

12. And if that doesn't get him, the cream puff will. n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Next, he'll be visiting Ireland.

[SoonerPride]

3. His McMessage is so off it is pathetic

While Obama is seen in a chopper with Petraeus, McLame is seen in a golf cart with bush the former.

While Obama delivers a groudnbreaking speech to 500,000 elated Germans, McLame eats a bratwurst and dribbles mustard on his tie.

They are really running this cmapaign like amateurs.

7. McCain's famous speech:"Ich bin ein Bratwurst"

"Stomach, Tear down this Menu"

[SoonerPride]

10. lol

:rofl:

[Barack_America]

4. Just wait for the debates. Then McCain will REALLY look small in comparison!

:rimshot:

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the sausages and sauerkraut.

5. McVain is Dumb he doesn't even know he sucks

[Youphemism]

6. "Speaking of wienerwurst, Senator,.."

"...have you got an answer for the issue of Medicare coverage of Viagra but not birth control yet?"

[Heidi]

9. Be sure to take your TUMS afterward, McDork. (nt)

[Lars39]

11. I think it's giving the mouth breathers a hook,

so that they can argue that it was McCain who was in Germany, not Obama.

[Blondiegrrl]

13. Of course McCain looks small in comparison.

5'7 always looks small next to 6'2.

:evilgrin:
