Say that nakedness is the 'in' thing now?

5. I'm hoping they would do the decent thing and not report on it until
they found out the facts as to why this happened.

7. The bottom line is, he would be unfit, and it's their obligation to report that
of a potential POTUS.

They could provide details when they were made available.

9. I would hope that they throw something over him and go to commercial
or something as well, until they could clarify the situation.

23. Of course - compassion in a situation like this would be warranted.
I just think that if a Presidential candidate exhibited bizarre behavior, regardless of the cause, it should be noted. We would forgive and our hearts would go out to him, but that person should not be the President of the United States.

27. I don't disagree.
It seems we have a President who should be removed from office, according to the Constitution, because he can't really discharge his duties. I think the drunk pictures from the Olympics kind of prove it. Yet those officials who should be removing him and Mr. Cheney (drunk shooting of his friend during hunting) don't seem to be able to do it. So probably the situation with McCain that the OP wrote about would get a pass too. I'm just saying that the rules aren't in play anymore. I personally think that McCain has shown so much bizarre behavior in this campaign that he wouldn't need to get naked but yet, no one is telling him to go home. He will be up for election. Nakedness has nothing to do with it. It's sort of a non issue. It's just I thought people would understand that in that case we would throw a blanket over him and lead him off the stage. It won't happen though because it hasn't happened. From what they have shown to us, they might as well be naked and no one has thrown a blanket over them and led them off the stage.

31. You're right, he might as well be naked, and they're pretending like
nothing's wrong.

11. Up his ambien dose
that should do the trick. I had a neighbor who would prune her roses naked while on Ambien.

8. They'd do the same thing they're doing now...
wrap him in the flag and try to sell him to Americans.

13. you know i could picture him walking out of the house without his pants, i can see him
wearing some boxers, a shirt and a sports jacket and those socks and those things you men sometimes have to wear to hold up those socks. Yup, i can see that happening.

20. Johny.
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 10:25 PM by David Zephyr
James Dobson would call him "Christlike".

Lindsey Graham would try to hide his teeth marks on John's pecker.

Roger Ailes would direct his sockpuppets at Fox to dare Obama do to do the same.

And...

Gary Bauer would get a woody.

Larry Craig would get a woody.

David Drier would get a woody.

Trent Lott would get a woody.

Dennis Hastert would get a woody.

Lindsey Graham would get a woody.

Ralph Reed would get a woody.

And Condi Rice would get a woody.
