So NOW you admit the "pig" comment was innocent, Senator?

The BBQ Pit
1

Some months ago, I arrived late at a League of Doom meeting and missed most of the announcements. Thus, when I heard that John McCain had joined our august ranks of ruthless, lying bastards, I was dubious. Can’t be, I thought. Not the John M. I know. Yes, he may support 9 out of 10 of Dubya’s policies, but he’s a good man at heart; he’d only do so if he honestly believed them. Men of good will can disagree and all that.

Clearly I was naive.

From the AP:

I suppose I should go ahead and sign the “Welcome to the Dark Side” card. I’m not sharing my beer with him, though.

Oh, and to make sure this is pitworthy: How’s it feel to be such a lying fuck, Senator? Is it fun?

Hey, you can’t call him a lying fuck! POW!!!

3

Well, of course I can. I’m a member in bad standing of the Legion of Doom; I don’t have to be nicel :dubious:

4

It sounds like McCain was trying to say that Obama didn’t call Palin a pig directly, but intended to insinuate it (hence ‘chooses his words carefully’).

5

“POW!!!”

What the hell do you think that was? a Batman caption? Do you really think MCCain is going to show up and pop Skald in the face?

That’s just stupid. Why are you so stupid? Why would you think that?

First off, he’s like really old. Too old, to get in a fist fight. Second off, the dude’s arms are like crippled. I doubt he can punch. I can’t beleive you’re this stupid. He broke both of his shoulders back in Vietnam when he was a P.O.W and he hasn’t been…

Ummmmm.
Never mind. I gotta go.

6

He’s still a lying fuck.

7

I don’t have anything against Skald, but it would be really funny if McCain did show up to punch Skald in the face.

8

Well, I can’t hit an old man, so I’d be defenseless till Kim showed up to kick him in the nuts or something, or one of my enslaved Autobots stepped on him.

9

Optimus Prime: Do you smell something?

Bumblebee: I think you have some crap on the bottom of your shoe, boss.

10

He’s got the temperment for it if not the fitness. In reality, he’d probably show up and tell Skald “fuck you.” I understand that’s a favored m.o. of McShame.

11

And then Skald could comment on how, for five years in his life, there were no old men to punch him in the face. POW!!!

12

Now now. He didn’t lie. He just chose his words carefully.

Gonna haveta remember that one m’self.

13

McCain can’t raise his hands. Guess that whole oath of office thing is right out too.

POW, POW, bite my Butt! If he’s that incapacitated, he’s totally unfit for the Presidency.

14

I’m sitting in the middle of a class (as a TA not a student) and I damned near laughed out loud at that. I had to bite the side of my mouth.

15

Hey! Buzz Aldrin was 72 when he popped Bart Sibrel. :slight_smile:

16

“You’re a coward,” he exclaimed, “and a liar, …”

At that point, Aldrin (age 72) landed a spirited punch to Sibrel’s jaw.

On my home planet, we give you a medal for that!

17

Give McCain a break. He went 5 1/2 years without being able to put lipstick on a pig.

(Man, that excuse works for anything)!

18

It’s not POW as in BAM or BOP–it’s POW as in Prisoner of War. How dare you mock one of our finest? Do you not have any respect for the sacrifice he made for this great country of ours? Why, saying POW stands for some Batman reference is like a bridge to nowhere with pig lipstick on it. Or something. Why do you hate America?

Where I come from a politician who is able to choose his words carefully is considered to one sharp cracker.

“Sharp cracker”? Wouldn’t that, y’know, be kinda… painful to eat?
