[This is scary!](http://blog.wfmu.org/photos/uncategorized/2008/10/17/obamamccaintongue.gif) I bet I’m going to get really slated for taking such a cheap shot at an old man, and a 5 year POW at that. Never mind, here’s my chin. ---

> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > What exactly led to that face/pose happening? At the end of the last debate, when the candidates got up to leave, McCain started to walk the wrong way around the table, caught himself, and did a kind of “Oops, I’m a doofus” mini-dance. That would be what is pictured in that photo. ETA: [about 4:25 of this video.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0c6aIlXIfs&feature=related) ---

Not surprisingly, there was at least one Fark [thread](http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=3952714) about this. My favorite photoshop (seems so obvious after seeing it): [link](http://pics.livejournal.com/bellasmommy/pic/0041kag2) I was also partial to [these](http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2008/10/18/128688095305713475.jpg) [two](http://yafh.com/image/78d0e57f-invisiblepole.jpg) lolcat treatments. ---

[cranky]Strange, this board never usually likes this type of puerile humor. The election does weird things to people[/cranky]. With that said, I did giggle at a few of them. ---

Yep, McCain is losing it, and it’s rubbing off on [Palin](http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/10/21/in-which-sarah-palin-displays-the-latest-in-donkey-fashion.aspx), who apparently needs a refresher in zoology.
