The letters thread is now closed.
  • Cyborgs don't have emotions

    McCain is human, Romney is not. Granted McCain is explosive but I also credit him with a pulse and real reactions to real events. I don't agree with him on views but he is a person and not some kind of hologram of the well-adjusted whatever.

  • Santorum?

    Are you certain the Santorum endorsement of Romney wasn't orchestrated by McCain???

  • Well? It's the truth isn't it? John McCain is a bat-shit crazy Vietnam Vet and we all know that they are a few synapses away from going Postal!

    You know how we are.

  • John "Popeye" McCain

    Just put a pipe in the corner of his mouth and make him bald, and he looks like Popeye. Great picture!

  • That Picture of McCain Grimacing...

    ...should be posted where all our enemies can see what they must face if they mess with the U.S. Printing copies of it in various sizes should cost a whole lost less than we are currently spending on the War on Terror. It'll give the anti-U.S. demonstrators something to burn when they protest, so they'll be happier. We can bring the troops home, so they and their familiaes will be happier.

    Perhaps we can elect that McCain picture to the Oval Office instead of the actual McCain. Then when it gets ticked off, it can drop paper bombs (and F-bombs) instead of real ones. I think the Romney people may really be onto something here.

  • I like that look on McCain's face by the way

    I wonder if that was the expression he would get on his face when he released his ordinance on North Vietnamese towns and infrastructure.

    He has that "top gun" sort-of look, but not in a Tom Cruise kind of way. More like the old Randy "Duke" Cunningham when he was climaxing a BJ on a defense contractor's hooker.

    Or maybe that's the expression he makes when he's dropping a deuce.

    Aggahh!

  • AAAARRRrrrrrhhhh!

    Apparently, it's "campaign like a pirate" day.

  • Get that man some Metamucil, quick!

    He looks all stopped up.

  • it's true

    it's a shame this has been divulged by disreputable people only a day before super tuesday because now people can just dismiss it as a political stunt. unfortunately it's the truth. as someone who has worked on the hill as a lobbyist for ten years let me tell you, john mccain is totally nuts. in fact it's one of the worst kept secrets in washington that he is a wacko. on multiple occasions i and others i work with, have been called to meet with sen. mccain at his request only to be thrown out of his office upon arriving there. his aides are constantly apologizing for him and putting out fires caused by this sort of schizoid inconsistency that the adulating press refers to as his "temper."

    i have great respect for his service record and can't even imagine what he went through as a p.o.w., but it obviously screwed him up and the people of this country should know that, rather than buy into a media-created narrative of a maverick outsider.

  • Their Kerry

    The Repug establishment is comfortable with Romney the way the Dems were with Kerry. And man, Man, the home state state, the windsurfing, the ACTUAL flip-flopping,really make the case. I hope the Rombot wins the nomination. He's the perfect losing candidate.

  • why has Salon posted this photo?

    Is there any context to the shot? Was he actually angry, or was he making a face? Sure the Drudge Report posted it, but that is a republican operative blog. Salon is supposed to be better. If the story is how repubs are xyz, fine, then maybe include a link to the shot. But is SALON saying that McCain is "angry", or that repubs think that McCain is "angry"

    This kind of looks like a cheap shot to me.

  • You'd better hope that McCain gets the nomination.

    If Hillary gets the nomination, McCain is the next president.

  • That photo

    is pretty hilarious.

  • Pay no attention to the sock puppet in front of the curtain.

    Before the convention he will have a "health" problem and Romney will be the nominee. Unless the authorities decide to wait until after the convention.

  • His war face?

    It also reminds me of "Full Metal Jacket," when the D.I. is telling the new Marine recruit to show him his war face...

  • The other side won't play as nice?

    Democrats have been rolling over for at least the past seven years, demonstrating that they're incapable of running, much less winning, a campaign. When former Senator Santorum says, "the other side won't play as nice" as the Romney camp has, does he have any clue which party he's talking about? It sounds more like he's projecting than making an actual prediction.

  • McCain to be deported back to Vietnam

    The story about to break is that the Bush administration has reached an agreement with the vietcong to send McCain back to the Hanoi Hilton. There was some sort of paperwork snafu, and John McCain will be transferred back into vietcong custody until such time that all of the paperwork can be corrected, a Whitehouse spokesman said that everything should be worked out in about 6 months.

    In a statement, President Bush said that while he understands this is a difficult and embarrassing situation for all involved, that McCain's release in the 70s wasn't handled properly, and it's important that all i's be dotted, and all t's be crossed, and he's sure that McCain would agree.

    John McCain must surrender himself to U.S. authorities by midnight tonight.

  • What a Crazy Election it is

    What with Republican fringe groups supporting Obama's candidacy, George Whore's pet rat Rovie going to Fox News and now Matt Drudge reporting the Honeymoon over between Hillary and Murdoch, who knows what they'll dig up from the bottom of the barrel to run this country. Maybe they're going to just fuck with everyone because they can. It may be another smokescreen because the horrors of the credit crunch haven't yet come to fruition. It just means more crap from the same crappy entities.

  • Freakin' Ricky "man-on-dog" Santorum

    Now there's a desirable endorsement for ya. Crawled out from under his rock to play attack dog for Mitt. You'd have to drive a stake through Ricky's heart to get rid of him for good.

  • Holy @#$%!

    Did someone kick McCain in the McJewels? Did Romney call him (deleted misogynistic pejorative) for getting captured by the VC? Oh, I know, somebody mention Keating...
