McCain on the Senate floor asking for "Cash for Golf Clubs" program.

[Nyquil Man]

On C-SPAN 2 now.

How about a "Cash for Addled Old Senators" program?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

1. Does that mean we get to trade in McCain for a newer model? n/t

[Nyquil Man]

4. Grassley too. Let's try and maximize profit. nt

[DesertFlower]

6. no. hopefully a democratic senator.

[BlueIdaho]

2. I'm shooting for a "cash for hitman" program... nt.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. He's so funny! In an a$$hole kinda way.

:silly:

[Nyquil Man]

12. I'll admit. When he's self-deprecating, it's charming.

But when he tells jokes about others, you realize why his nickname was McNasty.

[gratuitous]

5. So write the bill, Sen. John Sidney McCain III

If it's a worthwhile idea, I'm sure it will get the backing of both houses of Congress and merit a presidential signature. If, on the other hand, this is just more ranting from the loser of the 2008 election, the only proper response is to fall on the floor laughing at you.

:rofl:

[rurallib]

7. Kind of scares me that he could have graduated from the naval academy

[DesertFlower]

8. he barely made it. he was

not a good student.

[Nyquil Man]

9. He was three from the bottom, IIRC.

To his credit, none of those three ran for President.

[BlueIdaho]

10. He was a "legacy" student...

His father and grandfather were both four star Admirals. Johnny's naval career was a colossal embarrassment to his father.

As a fighter pilot he managed to crash six planes NOT in combat - he was such a bewildering fuck-up that he was finally shipped off to Nam and put in harms way even through he was an admirals son...


edit = typo

[Salviati]

21. and it's pieces of crap like this that dare to complain about affirmitive action programs....

Seriously, if we lived in a true libertarian meritocracy like the conservitives want, where you succeeded or failed on your own merits, then 85% of the republican party would be homeless, eating roadkill, and giving bj's for pocket change.

[Mariana]

19. It is scary to know that who someone is descended from

counts for more than his level of achievement in the naval academy. I don't think anyone, including McCain himself, believes he'd have graduated if his daddy and grandpa hadn't been famous big-shot admirals. It's possible he wouldn't even have been admitted in the first place.

[WillieW]

11. Why not cash for old polyester jump suits?

[Iwillnevergiveup]

13. Republicans? Good sense of humor?

Not so much. But they keep trying.

[eShirl]

14. I'll take CUCKOO FOR COCO PUFFS for $500, Alex.

[guitar man]

15. How about a

cash for "HEY YOU DAMN KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN!!" program?

:rofl:

[opihimoimoi]

16. GOP WIT Level hopeless...abyssimal

[Zywiec]

17. LOL - I know this must be a joke. n/t

[Nyquil Man]

18. Yes, but I didn't hear anybody laughing. nt

[Kadie]

20. Now Watch this Drive!

Don't know why, but that was the first thing I thought of.

[GodDamLiberal]

22. Cash for Curmudgeons

Is what he really wants.
