Lieberman: 'I Personally Checked John McCain's Bearings'

In an interview on CNN Thursday, Senator Obama said John McCain was "losing his bearings" after he repeatedly suggested that Hamas had endorsed his candidacy, even though their positions on the issue are nearly identical. Now, loyal Democrat (except on the small issue of "the war") Joe Lieberman is coming to McCain's defense after the presumptive GOP nominee accused Barack Obama of playing the "age card."

'I just want to report that this morning I personally checked John McCain's bearings. He has not lost any of them. They are all in really great shape."

Since McCain has maintained that he's trying to run an "honorable campaign," it's no surprise that he's trying to turn this into an "ageist" insult in an attempt to distract from the deplorable reality that he said Hamas endorsed Obama. But when you listen to or read the comments in their full context, it's rather obvious that Barack was referring to McCain's abandonment of his maverick straight-talking image in pursuit of the GOP nomination.

"This is offensive, and I think it's disappointing, because John McCain always says, 'Well, I'm not going to run that kind of politics. And then to engage in that kind of smear, I think, is unfortunate, particularly since my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his.

For him to toss out comments like that, I think, is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don't need name-calling in this debate."

Since McCain is on the wrong side of nearly every issue in this election, expect these sorts of petty accusations to cloud the debate. There really isn't much else left in the Republican arsenal after eight years of George Bush. Especially with a nominee who promises four more.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeww!!!

Hey 2 irrelivent idiots together!!!!

Who cares what these assclowns have to say?

This is stupid - The abject idiots get nothing but mentioned over and over again here.

Does McCain own this freakin site or what?

ball bearings?

lieberman needs to switch parties, or admit he's sold his soul.

might explain the big smile in the photo

You should consider changing the site name to
McCain for president!

It is your goal, no?

He doesn't even get this much publicity on HIS OWN SITE!!!

He checked them indeed, and yes.... he is way of course.

Lets see
Oriley
Lieberman
McCain

I guess it was a slow irrelivant news day?

Did joe check his drive shaft as well?

Has Joe given John McLame some head?

Joe: "John, turn your head and cough."

John: "Cough."

Joe: "Bearings fine."

Toooooo gay Joe.

Cleaver and insightful stories garner very cleaver and insightful comments, huh?

Just another day at Traitor Joe's.

And McCain's obvious senility makes the age questions a very valid and important one.

14 year old boys against McCain - Or what became of Crooks and Liars...

Those are called GONADS Joe, get your hands out of his pants.

Boy, if Joe doesn't repack McCain's bearings with new grease I'm afraid he'll burn 'em out pretty soon and have to hobble along in the G.E. at 20 mph at most.

McCain has been making fun of his age - and telling the same joke - for years. At the November 30, 2006 event with Republican governors in Florida, McCain offered up his now standard septuagenarian punchline:

"I am older than dirt. More scars than Frankenstein."

Sadly, McCain during a December 2007 MTV/MySpace event violated the cardinal rule of deflecting the age issue by forgetting his punchline:

"I'm older than Frankenstein. I gotta few scars. I'm older than dirt and I've got more scars than Frankenstein...Screwed up that line."

For more details, see:
"McCain Tries to Make Age Issue a Laughing Matter."

Wow - I guess this is the calibre of the Obbama supporters in the US...

Well, that really brings hope. Potty humer and anti gay inuendos.
Very cleaver - That is a winning stratagy.

When was the last time McSame noticed Bushie's poll ratings?

#14: "Cleaver and insightful stories garner very cleaver and insightful comments, huh?"

Good point and I don't really like to joke about it either except the media and the McCain campaign is making this about something it really isn't. Personally, I don't think Obama intended it as a "too old" comment, [he's not that clever] but rather mispoke when he said "bearings" instead of the singular "bearing" which really means "direction."

I suspect Obama intended to say: "I think John McCain has lost his bearing," meaning, John McCain has lost his direction, or his compass.

But that's too much detail for the media and "gotcha" journalism, so why not have fun with it?

Flash @ 3:

ball bearings?

not that there's anything wrong with it?

It was convenient for Joe to check John's bearings because they were on his chin at the time.

BaScOmBe against Bitter Elitist Bullshit @ 32:

Not to mention, the Bushie FEC, the Supreme Court and voter ID laws, purged voter rolls, and the thousand and one GOP cuts to swing the vote for McSame. They did it in 2000, 2004, 2006 and what's to stop them in 2008.

Well of course Lieberstooge personally checked McSame's bearings. It's very convenient to do while he's on his knees fellating Johnnie's knob.

Pit one candidate against another during interview and very selectively cherry pick a mild comment like " Bearing " when the most egregious , pathetic comment wOlf bLITZER slide right by on the Kosher express .
McSame makes the absurd and disgraceful comment " Hamas will be happy if Obama wins " a sleazy but typical right wing , guilt by association accusation , then we get a quick repsonse not about THAT , but the bearing comment , which Obama had EVERY right to respond the way he did . Yet THat wasn't they way AIPAC blitzer framed the " discussion " , he framed it to give Lieberman an opportunity to DEFEND McCain and raise baseless assertions , that Obama will not be a serious defender of Israel .
Of course that was the plan , since Blitzer has NEVER shown any concern or asked how a candidate would support PALESTINIAN causes or what our relationship should be .
Of course the number one concern for Blitzer and Lieberman is Israel and the litmus test everybody must pass and to ensure every politician is 110% pro Israel and to ensure any " balance approach " i.e. Howard Dean , is never accepted .
Blitzer and CNN censors everyday the daily killing of civilians , 21 ; 12 ; 10 in Gaza , because they are not worth victims , not worthy of any news report and if the can smear obama in the process , and question his support of Israel , well thats even better .

Ah. the blind leading the blind. Excellent strategy Repugs.

Or they might say 'I guess America wasn't ready for a black man for president, what a surprize!'
Conversly if Hillory pulls it out they could say similar about her gender.

But it seems like taking the McCain (or any rep for pres) run seriously is THE ONLY mistake we could make. It is a joke but who on earth claims to be reved up for McBush, know any one?
It is a classic EMPORER WEARING NO FREAKIN CLOTHES and the dang demleft is the biggest offenders imho...

The Lieberstooge really really really wants to be McCain's vp, doesn't he?

What a tool. What a stool. What a fondler and fluffer. What a ... bearing checker.

LIEberman says: "...I personally checked John McCain’s bearings. He has not lost any of them. They are all in really great shape.”

ok... i'll take your word on that...

but, he's surely loosing his MARBLES!

Is he referring to a compass heading or like ball bearings?

Wouldn't suprise me to find out Luberman and McTaint had a little thing goin on, in the mens room ya know...

I wonder in he "cupped" his bearings while blowing him.

the blind leading the blind...both as old as dirt.

McCain lost his (ball)bearings the day he decided to kiss Bush's ass to get the GOP nomination. It's not an age thing it is a maverick castration into a gelding thing.

"Bearings" is a nautical term for knowing where one is.

Conflating "losing ones bearings" with "losing ones marbles" is either a stretch, or an example of someone who has indeed lost their marbles.

Oh my we're back to back slapping and eye winking again.

Mugsy @ 50:

You are wholly confused. It was a reference to his sagging anatomy, which would not be uncommon for a 72 yr old, to which Lieberman happily inspected.

Diebold must have said now you guys go ahead and make fun of each other. Have some fun, and don't worry about a thing. By the time our media is done the Dems will be so disillusioned about their party their won't be anyone left.

This is just another example of CNN deriving a news thread where none exists. Blitzer's ticked off because his favorite candidate is convulsing with campaign death throes.

And all this talk about an Obama-Clinton ticket.. No Thank You!

Obama needs to ask Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill to be his VEEP. Nips the whole "we need a woman in the White House" argument in the bud without diminishing his chances of actually becoming the President by having the albatross Clinton as a running mate.

McCain can simply not be this country's next president. Between him and his trophy wife, bearings or no bearings, McCain is simply does not get what America is about today if he thinks we need to spend more money and blood in Iraq. McCain would support war in Iran. McCain would get a lot more folks killed and in my humble opinion, would need to reinstate the draft to fulfill his blood-thirsty ambitions.

http://www.dipdive.com/dip-approved/archives/24

And don't even get me started on his trophy wife, Cindy. Is this country ready for botox'ed, blonde, do-gooding airhead who looked more age-appropriate for her husband in 2001 than she does today? She is as much a liability to McCain's campaign as Bill was to Hillary's run for president.

Yes, We Can.

I think Obama played him pretty well. They're the ones who brought up the age issue, and let's face it. It is an issue.

...and they are all heading in the right direction. Israel.

Joe Leiberman "He didn't lose his bearings...they were in my mouth the entire time"

[Deleted-Sitemonitor]

Well at least McCain still has his bearings, that should compensate for the fact that he's out of his goddamned mind.

The term "losing your bearing" also refers to a loss of professional demeanor, acting inappropriately or without restraint. As a Naval aviator, McCain would be entirely familiar with this term as it is shared lingo within the Navy and Marine Corps, among others.

I would not like it to be known in public that Joe Lieberman checked my bearings.

Bad news Ace. Those weren't ball bearings rolling around in your mouth .

Yes, but would those type of bearings be described as "in really great shape," as Lieberman did? It sounded more to me like ole Joe was talking about wheel bearings.

Obama wasn't pllaying "the age card." He was playing the sanity card. And it's an Ace. Of Spades, trump. Of course, the insane demographic will flock to the man who is so representative of them.

This coming from one old Jew who has a few screws loose himself and just wants someone who will "bomb bomb bomb Iran". Thanks Joe, but your word holds no sway anymore. We all know you for what you are, a republican lick spittle.

Rusty@63:

Sorry I wasn't clear, I was referring back to Obama's original comment. Also, listening to the original statement the 's' on the end of "bearings" almost sounds like a hiss rather than a pluralization.

Mugsy @ 50:

Conflating "losing ones bearings" with "losing ones marbles" is either a stretch, or an example of someone who has indeed lost their marbles.

You would think McCrazy would understand the term, seeing as he was a navy pilot. Thou come to think of it, he wasn't very good at keeping his planes in the air.

Weren't those two riding together in the backseat of that old Mustang in that prostate enlargement commerical? Then they were bike riding together. Next they were standing by the Wailing Wall together. Finally they were stepping out of a stall at the Minneapolis Airport together. I heard it takes a wide stance to get your bearings checked.

Age WILL be an issue for November, and it will be the GOP claiming Obama is too young.
That's the way it's been done since Rove stepped in.

Race will be an issue, with Obama being anti-white, economics will be an issue due to Obama's poor grasp of them, the war will be an issue, because Obama wants the terrorists to win, etc. etc. etc... Deflect and divide.

Whether Obama intended this remark to be about age, doesn't matter. The McCain camp is gladly jumped on it to make it about age in the hopes that the issue can be dealt with and will go away before November. Funny thing, come November, he'll be even older.

geneHUSSEIN214 @ 22:

I hate to be the messenger, but perhaps you haven't seen Obama in debates. He's a genius with a prepared speech, but really lame when called on to ask adversarial questions without a script. Not only is he boring, but he projects an image of uncertainty. The American people don't care if their president is a fool, but they definitely want him (her will have to wait for another year) to convey an image of confidence and understanding. I haven't gotten that from Obama whenever I've seen him answering questions. Stammering, studdering, hemming and hawing are not effective debate tools.

Obama's best bet may be to let McCain talk incessantly and demonstrate what an idiot he is (although that won't register with the Nash McCabe's of the world). Unless Obama suddenly becomes a lot more articulate, the debates will continue to be difficult for him.

Only in Amerika ,
Can one hide their own easter eggs and be pres-a-dent .

Leiberman check McCains bearings.... Well hell, I feel safer already... We're all safer with Lieberdickhead around to check things out... So, I guess he found them, guess they were all there.. But he didn't say if he found the strawberries too, or which hand McCain was using to fiddle and twirl those bearings with.. haw haw.... So, what's this suppose to be? Some kind of example where the ignorant and selfish blesses the stupid and senile??? JD

Obama should just say... "Now that Senator McCain brought it up, he is too old to be President"... McCain constantly mentions Obama's "inexperience" which is code for "youth".

Obamessiah may have lost his bearings a little too:

Claims he's visited 57 states

McCain only has Joe around to push his wheelchair.

When one is conditioned to mindless soundbites like "bring them on" by former actors and cocky rich kids who play make believe cowboy Presidents, what do you expect? Thoughtful consideration of a question seems foreign and perhaps awkward. Maybe Obama should wear stir-ups and a cowboy hat.

Perhaps Sen Obama will ask his old chum and mentor LIEberman to be his running mate.

Lieberman was elected by the Republicans in Connecticut who didn't vote for their own party's candidate (who they knew had 0% chance of winning), combined with some Democrats who were upset that their candidate lost the Primary Vote.

His election was essentially out of spite.

I believe it. Lieberman is always down there kissing ass for the VP slot, I am sure he gets a mole's eye view of McBush's bearings all the time.

Mccain started all this by making a nasty insult about Obama and Hamas. What a bunch of shameful whiners Lieberman and McSame are when Obama defends this insult. LOL.

I'll just bet you did, you sly fox.

This is classic media manufactured bullshit!

Obama: "For him to toss out comments like that, I think, is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don’t need name-calling in this debate.”

WTF?

Only stooges like Tweety(man crush)Mathews and no doubt Joe (soon to be unemployed)Scarborough will jump on and Pat (old angry yelling man) Buchanan will try to equate Obama saying McCain is confused as to where he stands or what his position is with age discrimination.

Is this yet another reich-wing code for homosexual relations? Dennis....you can field this question.

Uh, you're the one who made a pass at John Cusack here on this blog, Dr. Matt. Maybe you should weigh in.

Has anyone read the garbage Lapdog Blitzer wrote as a question for his CNN blog, titled: "Was Obama taking aim at McCain's age?".

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/09/blitzer-was-obama-taking...

Lapdog Blitzer:

During the interview, I asked Obama to react to a suggestion from Republican presidential candidate John McCain that the Democrat was the preferred candidate of the militant Palestinian group Hamas. Obama replied that that assertion was “offensive” and “a smear.” He then added: “And so for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination.”

So in Blitzer's mind, the Hamas comment was only thought to be "a smear" by Obama, and Blitzer won't make any assessment about that smear, but the important question is: "Was Obama taking aim at McCain's age?". The lost bearings smear was the smear that was offensive....

And people wonder the media is despised.

Well, McSame's bearings might be OK, but I definitely think the old fudd's clutch is slipping....

I actually do believe that Obama meant that McCain is losing them. His bearings, I mean.

It was nice of LIEberman to determine the owner of those bearings and to return them to his future running mate in such short order.

Obama: I think McCain spun a bearing.
Lieburman: I check his oil everyday, the rod knock is only when Vicky is in town.

dennis @ 77:

Obamessiah may have lost his bearings a little too:

Claims he's visited 57 states

Katy bar the door if McCain would ever say something like that.

Holy crapola. 57 states not including AK and HI. F*ck.

you think maybe some states twice? or is thinking too much to ask these days?

hello @ 129:

yeah! he kept them in his mouth for safe keeping! LOL

Age card? That was already played by Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris.

Could some one please explain to Holy Israeli Joe that in English "bearings" and ball bearings have different meanings?

Has anyone checked Lieberman's meds lately? Is he on meds? Does he know what meds are? Does he know his own name? Olbermann asked Reid about his status tonight and Reid talked around it but did suggest that if the majority increases, Joe won't be there anymore. He hasn't been there for a long time now. Has anyone considered bringing bribery charges against him? He's held the US Senate hostage for 2 years now. If Reid and Schumer and Dodd had actually backed Lamont, we wouldn't have had to put up with this crap. There are 50% of the electorate out here who want the truth, who want America to do the right thing, and the beltway folks keep playing games. Time's up.

Look for your own Bearings Joe, you lost them a long time ago

McToeTapper?

"I personally checked John McCain's bearings..."

...and found they needed greasing.-so I did.

I must be off: in a two horse race between mccain and elmer fudd, i'm going with john, he is what he is and it's transparent to anyone paying attention. but elmer fudd is a sleeze; he makes my blood boil. he's a traitor to anyone or to any party that once counted him as a friend. I hope the democratic party has a good and long memory. he needs to be publically shamed more than he has already done to himself. And while i'm at it, i really like those in the democratic party who still speak of him in glowing terms. Get over it. He's a sleeze.

Lieberman The Zionist C*nt.

Yeah, me and 200 million Americans are waiting to see that debate BEfoRE we decide weather to vote for some shread of democracy or just go right off the deep end with a altzheimer Fascist Bush clone who's big claim to fame was another iligetimate impearalist war.

It will sure be a close election as I know the majority of americans love bush and whould love to have another 8 years of it....

Turn the freakin page already - The election is done.
Why pretend McCain is a viable candidate?

If there is any question why we are worried about an altzheimer fascist Bush clone winning you only need look at the last two elections. If they weren't rigged, that means America voted for a drug addled, draft dodging semi retarded daddy's boy with a proven record of consistant failure and low ethical standards. Not just once, but twice.

So either repigs have enough power to rig any election, or the majority of voting Americans should be institutionalized. Either way, America gets screwed.

That's the kind of comment my 77 year old father would giggle over... Yeah, it's cute to hear at the assisted living center, but do I want him making decisions? Hell no.

The only thing that's wrong with C & L is the whining pussies that post here.

Lieberman is McCain's bearings. But that's only part of the problem. Lieberman's latest crusade is that America has to purge the internet of communist terrorism. But isn't the Communist activity on the internet just a reflection of everything else around us? We need to catch the Commies in the real world first! That's the only way we will have a free democratic internet. Catch the Commies in the classrooms and the closets and the Starbucks first. C'mon Joe. I've seen photos of Joe Lieberman years ago when he was a Soviet agent. I've also heard that he once had a tennis date Alexander Kerensky and Hugh Hefner.

Ewww. What a pair. Why doesn't Lieb just declare himself a Republican for crying out loud?

And, by posting here nickpainintheassfromyuma, you now have joined that elite club of whining pussies. How does it feel?

Sometimes, the jokes just write themselves....

Wow - I guess this is the calibre of the Obbama supporters in the US...

Well, that really brings hope. Potty humer and anti gay inuendos.
Very cleaver - That is a winning stratagy.

At least you could spell "Obama," "humor," "innuendos," "strategy" and "clever" correctly.
Shows the caliber of the McCain supporters in the US ... (Caliber being the usual US spelling, as opposed to the British "calibre." What country are YOU from?

"I just want to report that this morning I personally checked John McCain’s bearings. He has not lost any of them. They are all in really great shape."

This certainly explains the parasitic hold the Neocons have on McCain. I guess these types of things happen when you go wading through a swamp.

Where is Lieberman's other hand?

Lost bearings doesn't imply dying brain cells as in aging to me. I believe Obama meant in a polite way that the old fart is full of shit, and Joe in checking him verified that all the shit is still in there!
