John McCain's Media Team Quits Campaign
AP Via Yahoo:
Sen. John McCain's advertising consultants have resigned from his presidential campaign, the latest in a rash of staff shake-ups in recent weeks.
McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker on Wednesday described the departure of Russ Schriefer and Stuart Stevens as amicable and said the Arizona Republican "appreciates their service" but accepted their resignations when they were offered Monday night.
Schriefer and Stevens were part of George W. Bush's campaign team in 2000 and 2004 and were part of Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign. The Wall Street Journal first reported the departures Wednesday night.
While the two had an agreement to work for the McCain campaign, FEC records indicate that they had not been paid and were not owed any money. Read more...
McCain's campaign is circling the drain and picking up speed. I suspect the only reason he hasn't dropped out of the race yet is because he's trying to pick up more matching funds so he can pay off mounting campaign debt.
poor Mccain will have to tap into his gay sweater slush fund

Breaking news: Cheney will be having pacemaker batteries replaced. Bush will become acting President tomorrow.
So, can we go back to holding Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld to account for the murder of thousands of innocents and the manslaughter of hundreds of thousands?
Thank you.

My 6th district Senator, McLame needs to be relegated to the attic of his new Phoenix condo where he can sit drooling in the corner on his bargain Baghdad rug and stare harmlessly at the ceiling out of camera view, no longer embarassing the good people of Arizona.
That picture is downright cruel
Seriously, what do all these people know that we don't? What skeleton fell out his closet onto the campaign floor that emptied the room faster than Alberto "Amnesia" Gonzales forgets what he had for lunch?
To quote Nelson from the Simpsons HA! HA!
Poor McCain. If it were any other repub candidate I could get some serious schadenfreude out of this. He seemed like the right guy for the vote back in 2000. Watching him self destruct like this, a full 15 months from the election is just painful.
I almost, almost feel sorry for him. He kissed bush's ass after the bush campaign did him so damned dirty way back when. He was like a beaten dog but returned to the master that beat him. I think he thought in return for his ass kissing the bush white house would "look after him" in this campaign. He tried to act like he was younger than he is. He made that insane remark about the safety of Baghdad and then the all telling trip. He truly acts as if alzheimer's might be sitting in, in regard to his more recent decisions.
it is sad really as he would have had a shot at my vote in 2000 when he was a "maverick" and he prostituted himself thinking that is what he had to do to win and it backfired...
Dun... No wheels for the express, no gas for the engine... No more talk, straight or otherwise to peddle anymore... No ideas, no nothing... I tend to agree with the poster who says he's probably hanging on at this point in an effort to pay off campaign debts in some kind of way.. Pretty pathetic for a guy who just 7 short years ago was one of the few republicans a lot of people could at least respect, if not support due to his political affiliation... Probably should have opted for the retired sage old statesman route after he was screwed by his own party in 2000 in favor of the empty suit fratboy idiot......Now?... Just not much in the way of a positive legacy after this trainwreck and his seemingly blind but politically shallow allegiance to it....Goodbye John McCain... it's over............JD
Patricia, I would almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't such a shill for chimpy and his cabal of criminals the past few years. I remember last year, he even joined the right wing echo chamber in the Kerry smear right befor the '06 election. Also, that photo op stunt he pulled in the Baghdad market place a couple of months back with 100 troops and 2 apache helicopters overhead is unforgivable. He's getting everything he deserves. That being said. I hope he stays the course until the primaries and continues to waste the money of any idiot willing to donate to him.
Oscar the death cat has been spotted aboard the Straight Talk Express.
-GSD
Poor McCain, just like Charlie Brown, he's been convinced to run for the football twice and had it pulled away by Lucy Rove.
-GSD
Poor McCain, he said he was going to fix Washington because they were "spending money like drunken pirates".
Rumor has it several drunken pirates have quit the McCain campaign now that his money is all gone.
-GSD
What does John McCain have to say about murder of Pat Tillman??? NOTHING. F**K Him.
The sinking Douche bag
I was the Baghdad shopping spree.
Being a Bush toady hasn't worked out so well for McCain. Quite Suprising. hahahahahah
And his trip to the Falwell retreat. Fuck him. Take a vacation McCain. Yiou have been running for 12 years.
Bill Press said to watch out for the Fredy Fizzle. I agree. Thompson might not even run. What a screwball he is.
The strait-jacket express has pulled into the main gate of the McLooney bin on empty.
Poor McCain. He used to be well respected on both sides of the aisle. Now his ampaign is falling apart, his credibility in shreds and a fading political career that is now all but over. What did he expect by tying himself to Bush's failed policies in spite of continued public disapproval? My, my, how the mighty have fallen.
I try, yet i cannot feel sorry for this man. He broke he owns it , period!
Did I tell you that Tucker Carlson is a fuckwad?
That picture above reminds me of a bottom feeder that scared the crap out of my niece at Seaworld.
Uhhh, did anybody just see the add on the C&L main page, for Billo'Rielly's book "culture warrior"? Did this site just get hacked or have we slid into one the 11 dimensions of time and space, one of the "backwards is forwards" dimensions? I have concerns, real concerns, if C&L is taking money from bill O'Rielly to advertise on this blog...Please, John, am i dreaming (nightmaring)?...The Rapture Right
Captain Kangaroo @ 23:
Thompson's another empty suit moron. Even Nixon thought he wasn't too smart. I dare him to run. The GOP's only semi-lucid candidate is Ron Paul and while I agree with him on the war, he will never get my vote because we disagree on everything else.
Jeeze, I love that picture. There are so many captions one might add, like,"Damn! I didn't know Bush's arse smelled that bad!" or, "You mean I have to swallow?"
Ya kinda gotta feel sorry for McCain. He was a genuine war hero but he sold his soul to the Devil in hopes of getting the GOP nomination (rumor has it that Cheney keeps the soul in that man-sized safe in his office.)
But now the GOP nomination is just about worthless. McCain's last hope was his escalation plan. He figured nobody in their right mind would increase the number of troops in Iraq, so he could run in 2008 telling people "If they would have listened to me, we never would have lost."
He was correct though. Nobody in their right mind would have done that.
Have ALL the wheels fallen off the bus now?
That's what happens to anybody who backs the total incompetent fool Dumbya.
How can anyone say they feel sorry for this Sack?
Deliberately smeared by his own party in 2000, he nevertheless has carried the bush-cheney administration's water ever since and set aside his originally stated principles at every turn where he was told they conflicted with the bush-cheney message.
The president whose political operative did everything he could to sabotage any and every pillar of support he had within the republic party demanded fealty, so we have photos of mcLame hugging and kissing his new bff bush and abandoning ethically and morally correct positions in order to show his loyalty and get the anointment he desired because, dammit, it's "his turn"!
Then the cranky old curmudgeon surfaces when people start to call him on his waffling and his blind support for bush-cheney's positions even in the face of overwhelming public opposition.
Stick a fork in this porker; he's done and ready for the table.
Norse @ 7:
McCain recieves surprise suppository therapy...
i do not feel sorry for MCcain! he knew damn well full and good what he was about to embark upon and he lied thru it all to make sure HIS self goal was in the limelight. That stupid ghost looking man, learned not one lesson from which he so proudly hails as his flag to roost, vietnam.
He ducked and covered in 2000 when GWB then govenor of texas , berated him on live tv debate. The idiot didint learn then and he hasint now. And of all the vietnam war vets,, MCcain , ignored, to boots his own status. He sat and watched another vet , (Kerry) and his tour of duty be called into question and did nothing to support a brother in arms. This is not the type of person i want to see as president,, let alone a sen. from any state in the USA!
MCcain ,,,,,,,do us all a favor and pack your tent and go back to writing war books. I know,, see if you can start a war on tom clancey!!!!!!!!!
It's called "payback", Senator McCain; when you discarded your Independent supporters to kiss the butt of GWB, It was just too much. You lost us forever!!!
When your fund raisers called me several months ago, I was quite explicit in telling the caller, that I could never support you, and the reasons why.
It's over, and you deserve what you are getting.
GSD @ 15:
Damn you GSD! That was friggin' funny! I still can't believe MSM had the balls to run THAT story over Pat Tillman's murder, Gonzo's hanging himself before a committee, Rover being called out to play, hell, even Lohan getting busted had more importance.
Power corrupts...
Absolute power corrupts absolutly....and... the LUST FOR POWER is just as destructive, when it comes to possess even good men of stature....
Long did I believe in John McCain, and sore indeed was the pain of watching him fall into that ultimate trap, even though I knew him to be the victim of the most vicious crime family since the BORGAS OF ITALY, know to the world now as "THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY"!
So, for my part, go in peace, John McCain. but GO!
Technically its too bad this is happening because I want the Republicans to be fragmented. It gives Ron Paul a better chance.
coach red auerbach once said that once you're an asshole you'll always be an asshole, some will try to revert, but they will always revert back. he might as well been describing mccain. he's been an asshole from day 1.
Schriefer and Stevens were part of George W. Bush’s campaign team in 2000
I wonder if the subject of Bush's sliming of McCain in 2000 ever came up? Or did McCain ever ask them to do to one of the other candidates what was done to him?
<[deleted--duplicate post. Sorry, Bob, you got caught up in our spam filter.]
This jackass could of became kerry's vice president, but he chose too stick it out w/ bush, now this it time #2 that bush scuttled his chance's, i feel only discuss for MClame.
The man is toast, the Straight Talk Express just careened into the ditch.
So, the Republics now have Rudy, Mitt, Freddy, the rest of the dwarfs, and "none of the above-Please, Ghost of Ronnie Raygun may you appear" as the candidates...
Most of the base is hoping for the last choice, the poor dumb clucks!
I would feel sorry for them, but I hate them with a bile like passion for putting Dumbo the Decider in the WH, and in the processing, wrecking my country for generations.
So, I hope they all get ulcers from watching those morons Rudy, Fred and Mitt tear each other to shreads, all for the privilege of losing to Obama in '08!
The Insane train
stick a fork in this lost soul.
John was one of the Keating Five. John liked rich white men like Dumbya and VP Darth Vader and
liked kissing rich white ass.
Wouldn't want another Ronald Raygun for prez
had alzheimer disease before he became prez.
Excellent picture of John McCan't. The man should just go home... he's pathetic! Along with the other republican't idiots. Shut 'em down!
McCain needs to do his Patriotic duty, and call it a day.
The Nation has had it with Right Wing politics for at least
the next 15 years (Praise the Gods). McCain's phony
straight talk express can go straight to Hell. We see quite
clear his biggest talent is that of brown nose, and stooge
for the Oil Oligarchs dividing up the Iraqi oilfields. Not to
mention that Bergen Belsen spin off "Tent City", better
known as Arpio's madness. Its quite clear, there will
never be enough Stripped uniformed prisoners, being ill
treated, & terrorized by good'ol boy deputies, to please him.
Just another of too many republican schoolyard bullies.
Thank the Gods he will never be President.
OT: Just read that Dickhead Cheney is to undergo surgery to have a battery replaced
in his "heart???"...Come on, that guy does not have a heart !!
John, who?
Oscar the cat reportedly left the McCain campaign headquarters early this morning.
I wouldn't mind betting they left because Saint MCain hadn't paid them and it looked as though getting the money from him would be like getting water from a rock.
But that's par for the course with the Wingnuts isn't it? Lie cheat and steal every single step of the way.
All we have left to hear about the McCain express is:
"John McCain is dismayed to learn that he himself has left his campaign. He has been trying to win himself back, but has been unsuccessful. The express has no passengers left, but that's fine because there no longer is a driver."
Hanoi Hilton
NOVACANCYPretty funnny.
BRAINS....
McCain needs BRAINS....
Just the type of guy you want for president, someone who cant manage his campaign finances nor a team of people. He's a loser, they all know it and are bailing. I dunno why he doesn't bail out already, he's embarrassing himself.
Who are these sleeze-balls going to work for next?
.
Are we gonna see that silly McCain pic
with every McCain story forever and ever?
I sure hope so !!

'McCain's' media team were actually employed by Romney and Giuliani (which is obvious, based on results). So their 'resignation' means they succeeded in promoting their real candidates.
For that matter, McCain himself is actually a surrogate campaigner for G.W. Bush (McCain is senile, and doesn't realize that Bush is at the end of his rope as president). Is McCain gonna be surprised (and disappointed) when Bush leaves office. (Hopefully, before January '09).
And who is giving McCain the wedgie in the photo?
"Sen. John McCain’s advertising consultants have resigned from his presidential campaign, the latest in a rash of staff shake-ups in recent weeks."
So you figure a month or so until McCain makes it official? Not like advertising consultants to drop off a body that still has blood so somebody must be concerned that the receivables will go uncollected really soon.
McCain took it up the keister in Vietnam and now he's getting shafted again.
It's something of a relief that Insane McCain's presidential hopes have evaporated. (Don't worry about McCain in 2012. At the rate his Alzheimer's is progressing, he won't even recognize himself in the mirror by then.)
Too bad that the other GOP candidates are worse. We have Rudy "President of 9/11" Giuliani, who has boundless pride in his own stuffed-shirt incompetence, Mitt "The Mormon" Romney, an update of the Corporate Manchurian Candidate (since Big Business finally realized that a brainless puppet like Dubya was a poor idea), and Fred "The Stupid Kid" Thompson, who might or might not whore himself out to anyone or anything for the right money.
