Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., right, speaks during a news conference in front of Schmidt's Fudge Haus in Columbus, Ohio, Thursday, July 24, 2008. As presidential rival Barack Obama toured Berlin, McCain told reporters he would love to give a speech in Germany. 'But I'd much prefer to do it as president of the United States rather than as a candidate for president.'

1. McGramps is totally in the Fudgehouse right now...

That is funny on so many levels.

On edit: Cap for the last photo: "Fuck the country! I'm talking FUDGE BABEE! Real fudge with almonds in it and drizzled in Chocolate sauce!"

[meegbear]

2. When I saw that story on CNN.com, I thought it was a joke ...

God, he IS a joke.

[mikeytherat]

8. The sign just over Jonny Mac's shoulder says "Unique Impressions."

I must admit, he's currently doing a rather unique impression of someone running for President.

3. Imagine McCain in Germany. 1. They wouldn't have organized

an event for him like they did for Obama. 2, Even if they did, nobody would have showed up.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. From The Onion, right?

[baldguy]

5. Compare & contrast

[AlCzervik]

6. i can barely see him because of the crowds. What's going there with Grahams head?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

7. McCain & Graham are literally picking fudge out of their teeth.

That right there ought to dwarf Obama's trip, but nooooooo ...

[KamaAina]

23. Are you sure that's fudge?

Quite sure? :evilgrin:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

25. Maybe a little sausage in there, too.

[liberal N proud]

9. For contrast...

10. Obama in Germany .... McCain in German Village

Campaign oneupsmanship has become campaign onedownsmanship. :rofl:

[Auggie]

15. Senator Obama just LOOKS presidential

McSame looks just... old.

[Kadie]

36. LOL

He would have done so much better if he had just taken the week off.

:rofl:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

11. Now the windchimes are drowning out his blather.

[hatrack]

21. You have GOT to be kidding

Seriously?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. Seriously, I wondered what it was at first, but as it got louder

as the wind picked up, the bells were gonging & clearly
distracting him. The whole scene was gaspingly hilarious.
And yes, also seriously, McCain literally picked something
out from between his front teeth after trying to dislodge
it with his tongue first, as was Graham. Un. Be. Lieva. Ble.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

12. Oh man.

Oh, manohmanohmanohmanohman.

A candidate feeding material to Steven Colbert like this is so wrong.

[Vinca]

13. It doesn't get more pathetic than this. Is he going to make it to their convention?

[tridim]

18. He should just forfeit now

What's the point of wasting all that money?

[tridim]

14. LMFAO!

That's a PERFECT contrast!

:rofl:

Two peas in a pod..

[Kadie]

20. ROFL!!!!

:rofl:

:hi:

[YOY]

22. What is it with the Republicans and Fudge?

Shrub, Mittens, McGramps, (Please note I am tempted to make a Larry Craig refernce but am restraining myself...)

[Alter Ego]

26. Oh God

The look on Romney's face just screams, "Relax ze sphincter...now here comes zer choo-choo."

[Virginia Dare]

16. Why does either Graham or Lieberman have to hold his hand all the time..

you never see a picture without one of them in it. Are they like the guys who follow the elephants around with the shovels at the circus?

[Supersedeas]

32. fellow Manchurians?

[BrklynLiberal]

17. Sure won't be buying anything from "Relay Gear".

[babylonsister]

19. That's a step up from the cheese counter. Maybe. nt

[lpbk2713]

27. Guilt by association.

McLame likes to prop up those hatemongers.

[MzNov]

28. What the hell was he doing with his dentures?? Were they falling out?

I caught a few seconds after B.O.'s speech on CNN, and there was McCane trying to push his upper teeth back into place. I'm surprised the cameras didn't immediately go somewhere else.

:rofl:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

29. He was picking food (fudge? sausage?) from between his front teeth.

[Crabby Appleton]

30. I've eaten at Schmidt's Restaurant many times

really great German food there (in Columbus' German Village) At least he got a chance to get some good food.

31. Okay, now I am SURE....

his campaign staff are closet Democrats with a capital D. They have to be to have planned this appearance, it is beyond hilarious. When I first saw the OPs about this, I fully expected the actual content to be an Onion piece but, NOPE, it is better than anything the Onion could have done!


I am still :rofl: and shaking my head at the stupidity of the "gang who couldn't shoot straight" setting this up!

[lpbk2713]

35. And this was their backup plan ....

over a speaking engagement in New Orleans while
leaked oil was flowing down the Mississippi.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:






(These assholes don't have the chance of a snowball in Hell.) :rofl:

[Imagevision]

33. And CNN has just informed me there's only a 4 point spread? rediculous!

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. McCain's famous speech:

[SoCalDem]

37. Fudgey McCheese... did he get the blue glove treatment, though?

[spanone]

38. i thought it HAD to be a joke, but noooooooo

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

39. That's certainly a unique impression.

Schmidt's Fudge Haus.

Good lord.

[lib2DaBone]

40. Early Bird Special

Did he leave a tip or did he steal all the Sugar packs and crackers on the table?

[Wiley50]

41. I thought GOPers didn't like fudge-packers n/t

[uppityperson]

42. k&r for McCain turnouts.

[lib2DaBone]

43. OK..One more.. You'll like this one....

On McCain's Straight Talk Express Bus

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load
of seniors down a highway
when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady.
She offers him a handful of peanuts,
which he gratefully munches up. After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder
again and she hands him another handful of peanuts.
She repeats this gesture about five more times. When she is about to hand him another batch again
he asks the little old lady, why don’t you eat the peanuts yourself?
“We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth”, she replied
The puzzled driver asks,”Why do you buy them then?”
The old lady replied,

“We just love the chocolate around them.”

It pays to be careful around old people
