McCain proves his own stupidity by BRAGGING about it....seriously!

[glarius]

I just saw McCain on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, trying to show what a "humble" person he is, by bragging (I've heard him do this before) about the fact that he was fifth from the bottom of his graduating class!.....I mean really.....this is something to brag about?
He seems to think that by demeaning himself like this, (he always says it accompanied by the same self-deprecating chuckle) he proves that if he can get to run for president, any American can. Does he really think that America wants as president the dumbest person who has managed to rise to the top?
This is another point the media has overlooked that I have often wondered about.
The more I see and hear Obama, the more I am impressed by him and hope for the sake of your country and the rest of the world that he wins.

1. He probably means "look at me! I was a dumbfuck and look where I am today!"

[darius15]

7. Dumbfucks becoming American politicians! THAT, my friends, is the American Dream!

Forget the skinny kid who's father left him and grew up poor, but made it to the top through hard work and determination.

[graywarrior]

9. I wonder if, like the High IQ Club, they have one for dumbfucks

GWB and MCQuack could be in that and be proud.

[OwnedByFerrets]

2. As Forrest would say, Stupid is as Stupid does.

[AlCzervik]

3. he was also trumpeting the fact that he was endorsed by Alexander Haig, no kidding.

[Higher Standard]

4. Does that make he and Palin "Dumb and Dumber"?

Somehow, I don't think that's going to inspire much confidence from the American people.

[donheld]

5. We do not need a big Dummy as president

Call Barack Elite if you want but I want the best and the
brightest for the job of the most powerful person on earth.

[dkofos]

6. It worked for his boss (bush). He's desperate and delusional.

[No Elephants]

8. He tries to diffuse the issue by mentioning it first, rather than wait for others to use it to

attack him. It is not funny at all, or acceptable, to have another Dummya in the Oval Office. No way. No how. No more dumb Presidents.

I meant it.

[tularetom]

10. I think that "Have a beer with him" bullshit is dead.

I don't want my president sitting around having a beer with me. There's a lot of shit that needs to be fixed in this country and he has a lot better ways to spend his time than listening to me. Besides, I'd just tell the pres a bunch of shit he didn't want to hear like he'd better have bush and cheney arrested and put on trial for treason, seize the assets of the Wall Street crooks who caused this mess in the first place and get the right wing pukers off the radio.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Idiocracy.

I suppose he takes the family to Buttfuckers for lunch? He's playing to his base.



:rofl:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

12. Like George W. Bush

He's an incompetent, incurious son of a wealthy and connected family who has managed to FAIL FORWARD at every stage of his life. Lousy student with severe behavioral problems? No problem -- we'll get you into Yale and Annapolis. Complete failure in your career after that? No problem -- daddy's friends will bail you out. And they'll keep bailing until you reach the White House.

Both men have resumes that should have them working as a legislative aide to a minor congressman (if they're in politics at all), but their enormous good luck at HAVING BEEN BORN has caused them to rise far beyond their qualifications.

[LiberalAndProud]

13. There is so much wrong with this.

I am so overwhelmed with how wrong, I can't even begin to articulate my outrage in words.

Why anyone would want to advertize this personal fact on their resume for *any* position, let alone the most powerful position in the our country is beyond me. We are not auditioning for Prom King here, although with Bush, and now McCain, I am thinking some voters look for the same qualifications.

It's high school all over again.

[glarius]

16. I share your feelings completely!

All this shit about "someone we can sit down and have a beer with"....which seems to have been a big selling point with George Bush...has always puzzled me. For this extremely important job we need a person with brains, wisdom, good judgment and steady, unexplosive temperament. I would say Obama has all those characteristics....McCain has NONE.

[dansolo]

14. His success is only because of his father and grandfather

If he wasn't a son and grandson of Admirals, he would have been a big nobody. He would have never become a pilot without people pulling strings for him. He would have never remained a pilot after wrecking four planes. He most likely wouldn't have become a POW if he wasn't in a plane to crash. And he would have never found a rich, influential benefactor to start his political career.

His success only demonstrates how our system favors the rich and connected over the average American, no matter how unqualified they are. Barack Obama's story is much closer to the average American dreaming of becoming President someday.

15. Uneducated people hate educated people more than just about anything else in the world.

[mwb970]

17. BINGO! /nt

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. my grandma (bless her heart)

used to say "don't show your ignorance"

Hey Johnny! Your ignorance is showing!

[AwakeAtLast]

19. Without his family connections, I think he would have been kicked out

When you have those connections, it isn't hard to graduate.

[FLyellowdog]

20. Stupidity can't be fixed...ignorance can. McKlan is stupidly dumb.

There's no hope for him or the stupidly dumb people who support him. How can they be so STUPID? It's got to be a bigotted race issue...nothing else makes sense.

[Overseas]

21. He demonstrates the New Republican credo -- Country Club First.

Like he's saying

Look, I think you guys in the public are so dumb, I'm showin' ya I'm just like ya -- look I'm dumb too.

Isn't that just all humble and mavericky of me to admit that.
Aren't I just such a regular humble guy

I wear my windbreaker sometimes to town halls to remind you of that, too. My regular Joe jacket with my $520 shoes and heiress second wife.

I even joke about my seven houses to show that I'm a just-folks multi-millionaire. Isn't that humble of me? (And then you don't have to realize that I have more like ten homes.)
