"McCain was scheduled to deliver his acceptance speech Thursday but now may do so from the devastation zone if the storm hits the U.S. coast with the ferocity feared by forecasters."


Is he actively trying to lose this election?

[Egnever]

1. yes

[27inCali]

35. you think Obama campaign might just....

pay McCain back for stealing the day after coverage of his speech with Palin, by.......


running a commercial about Katrina with that awful picture of him eating cake with Chimpy on the tarmac the day after McCain's speech.

(ouch!)

you know, Obama's been picking up the attacks and they've been pretty strong.

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hopefully. n/t

3. McCain the pander bear

First it was pandering to women, now victims of a hurricane. What's next?

[akangel2008]

31. Dogs & Cats?

Naw, that's too obvious!

[davidpdx]

33. Naw

McCain/Palin hate the environment and animals

[WeDidIt]

4. If Gustav continues to track a bit further West

we'll see Grampa in the more rural region of the coastal border between Louisiana and Texas.

I'm hoping he gets down there and it fizzles to a Tropical Wave before coming on shore.

[AzDar]

5. McCain ain't nothin' but a fi' dolla ho.

Just sayin'....

[elshiva]

24. That's an insult to hard working

prostitutes. McCain is just an asshole.

6. WTF?

This is insane. If this is true, I hope the democrats rip McLame apart for this blatant act of politicizing a tragedy.

[Bobbie Jo]

7. The venue was a toss up

between the Gulf Coast and Iraq.

So many devastation zones...so little time. :shrug:

[truthisfreedom]

8. He heads INTO a hurricane to pander? Ok, let's review his state of mind for the last week.

He's gotten so bored and irritated with is campaign that he made a radical choice for VP so he could have a cute piece of ass to follow around for 2 months. Now he's going to play some kind of bizarre hero by becoming a storm chaser with his new hottie?

McGustav has LOST IT. "She makes me feel young!"

[Neshanic]

9. "My friends, I am standing in the wreckage of an IHOP with a pancake on my head."

[Lifelong Protester]

14. LMAO!

glad I wasn't drinking anything or you would owe me a keyboard!!:rofl:

[Mojambo]

10. If America doesn't see through this... n/t

[Mrs. Overall]

11. Remember this? Just insert McCain as he gives his speech:

[1corona4u]

34. And, how funny is that headline!!

Bush IS one of the biggest diseasters to hit the US, LOL....

[parabolabear]

38. what a classic image...

!

[Quixote1818]

12. Is he going to eat cake after the speech?

:eyes:

[Phx_Dem]

13. OMG. Tin ear much?

This proves it. He is too stupid to be president. :rolf:

[kestrel91316]

15. Are they gonna have him be like the stupid weather reporters

out in the horizontal rain in a slicker, wind howling, mike in hand, trouble standing upright, and debris flying around?

Ok, admit it. You would think it was pretty cool, right?

:rofl:

[redstate_democrat]

16. Sigh.

I hate this man. I really REALLY REALLY FUCKING DO! First of all, John S McCain was stuffing cake in his mouth on an airport tarmac with GEORGE BUSH the day Katrina hit NOLA. Now he wants to go to hurricane zone and use it is as a funky ass prop for his political campaign? What the HELL good would it be doing for him to give a damn POLITICAL speech from a zone where people have lost everything? Didn't he vote against EVERY SINGLE BILL offering support for the victims of Katrina? He is SCUM and his own party should take his dumb ass out of the race. He doesn't deserve to even RUN for president let alone BE president.

[Mrs. Overall]

21. I absolutely, 100%, agree with what you just wrote.

I'm appalled and if American falls for this phony shit, we get what we deserve.

[1corona4u]

36. I agree 100%.

[parabolabear]

40. is there any way for the dems to say this on air...

please? maybe? PLEASE? i dont like how calm and nice the Dem campaign has been in the past 24~48 hours. i hope things will be more down to earth soon.

[TwilightGardener]

17. Good Christ.

[PolNewf]

18. He will be too busy "helping" people

Seriously, wtf is McPOW going to be able to do to help. Cindy does the heavy lifting in that household ffs.

[Barack_America]

19. Will he serve cake?

That's pretty much the only thing that could make this idea more idiotic.

[Neshanic]

27. Everyone loves his "Katrina Kake".

[MrScorpio]

20. He can't be serious. Am I reading this right? Who is this guy?

He's taking the worst presidential campaign in modern history and making it worse than worst

WOW!

[endthewar]

32. This election will be a good litmus test to find out how divided our country is.

Those Republicans voting for gays, God, and guns will be exposed for what they are. No way can they argue that it's a sane pick on the merits.

[BlooInBloo]

22. Take the bottle away from him please, somebody. Anybody.

[Neshanic]

23. Weather Channel to make McCialis a reporter, no split screen for him!

[scarletwoman]

25. I started thinking about what kind of snarky comment to make, but then I noticed your source.

Sorry, politico.com is just Drudge dressed in a nicer suit. I'll wait to comment until I see this information from a credible source.

[Lex]

26. Will he stand on the rubble and bellow into a bullhorn for show?

Jeez. :thumbsdown:

[npk]

28. So will McCain's acceptance speech take on a somber mood.

Or will he have "Jesse and the Rascals" playing in the background while people are clearing the debris from their homes. Wow what a classy guy. Maybe on his way out we might get to see the rare moment of compassion and pity of McCain throwing a quarter at some one holing all their belongings out on the street.

[elshiva]

29. FUCK YOU MCCAIN!

YOU HAVE SOME NERVE! :puke:

buffy

[npk]

30. I second that FUCK YOU. n/t

[elshiva]

Yes and FUCK YOUR STUPID FRY RIPOFF LOGO, MCCAIN!

37. Democrats need to be near protesting and serving cake for symbolism. nt

[Breeze54]

39. And this is what he'll be wearing!

:P

[book_worm]

41. and yet the media and the non-thinking voters will probably eat it up.

[Yavin4]

42. Republicans Love Disasters

They love debris and destruction. They love creating it. Standing on top of it. Parading around in it.
