Cindy's not gonna be too happy about that.

CNN:
"I will use the veto as needed. I will veto every single beer — bill with earmarks," he said, as rumblings from the crowd could be heard. "And every single bill that we have come across my desk I will make them famous. I will veto them, you will know their names."
Nicole: MSNBC reported that protesters interrupted McCain's speech:
McCain, who was introduced by eBay Inc. CEO Meg Whitman, was briefly interrupted by three protesters who yelled that war is bad for small business. The protesters were booed and escorted from the room, and McCain used the interruptions to call for civil debate in the campaign.
Don't be childish.
He's just old
He can start with Coor's Light.
he looks so forced
another senior moment.
Although I can't say I agree with interrupting a presidential candidate as they speak.
I will say watching this I wondered where he was when those on the right were tarring everyone with the label unpatriotic and un-American when they wanted a civil debate on whether or not we should invade Iraq.
Certainly I think progressives are better than that, we don't have to shout down the other side because we have sense, reason and morality on our side, but he can hardly complain about being shouted down when he tacitly approved of his side doing the same before.
That sonovabitch better keep his sweaty meathooks off my Guinness.
Man, I can hardly wait for that first Obama-McCain debate.
The choice of the neocon warmongers. Dumb and dumber, easier to manipulate. Poor choice for America.
prunes and grapefruits
By November, the Republicans will be viewed as the party that wrecked the nation, and McCain will be in a hole so deep that nobody will be able to see his lips move.
He said he ran out of funny things to say. When did he say something funny?
Don't come near my beer, Thems fightin words.
That's EX CEO Meg Whitman. I think she stepped down recently.
I don't know how anyone can get the word beer and the word bill mixed up unless he was thinking how good a beer would go down about now. He sure isn't at ease speaking in public. Can't wait for the debates. It's gonna be Nixon sweating bullets all over again.
Jo @ 13:
Like taking a knife to a gunfight.
when was ebay considered a small biz
the fact is, not one repug plan benefits small biz
not one tax cut or tax break benefits small biz
keep yelling the old coot down
well. he owes his (wife's) hundreds of millions to ..... beer.
Screw him! Elect me instead and I will only veto shit beers like Coors and Budwiser! I will pass every good beer that's brewed though! Long Trail, Guiness, Saranac, Otter Creek, Sam Adamas and Magic Hat for all!!
Ron @ 11:
he thinks reagans line "there you go again" is funny
and it really is...if you look at what reagan was talking about, and how carter was right on the money as to what his policies would do to the country....yup, funny line
I usually drink beer with my mouth, not my ears so those would be lipmarks on the can. Boy is McCain out of touch. Not only can't he distinguish Shiite from Sunni or al Qeada from al Qud, the man simply doesn't know his rich white @ss from a hole in the ground.
This is off topic, but South Korea is in total meltdown with protests.. The
Presidential palace is steeled barricaded to keep protests out....

What's he doing
Trying to make boosh choke on his pretzel?
GOP hates small businesses. Single payer health care would take an enormous burden off of small business owners. That's why the republicans fight it.
Wheres the flag pin?
I love at the end of this video when McCain pulls out a pen and holds it in his fist. He really looks a lot like former Senator Bob Dole did in 1996. Go look at pictures of the two of them side by side with a pen in their fist if you don't remember, and you will see what I mean.
It's important that the crazy grandpa candidates of today should honor the crazy grandpa candidates of the past.
John Donahoe is CEO of eBay since March. Meg is still on the board of directors. Just thought I'd throw that in if it's not off topic. If it is, delete.
"Blinky" McCane needs a time out to get his GOP good ol' boy talking points straight. Don't he know dat his base lahks t' vote fer a feller they c'n have a beer wit'? I mean, ain't that th' conventional wisdom?
"My friends, I may be pasty and wrinkled and liver spotted and scarred and have yellow teeth and this weird puffiness on the side of my face, but....wait, what was I saying before? Oh never mind."
Apparently McCain isn't the kind of guy you can have a beer with. A prune juice yes, but somehow I don't think that will wash well with the working class.
Is this a major issue?
Attila the Appeaser, Bilderberg Despot @ 21:
Single payer would take an enormous burden off from everyone. We live in constant fear of one accident or one major illness putting us in the poorhouse. But Republicans like a system based on constant fear.
What about pretzels, I mean lobbyists?
Anon @ 22:
good eye
Da beerss....
So much for distancing himself from Bush.
roflcopter - so much for being the candidate you want to have a beer with.
And face it, without beer, how can anyone reconcile the fact that you are preaching fiscal restraint while being a cheerleader for the war? That'll call for another Hoegaarden, methinks.
O.T. but, where or why are they wearing so many pink ties.
Ron @ 34:
Any MBA will tell you it's salmon not pink.
Rob Scott @ 28:
Actually, yes. I've spent eight years listening to a coke sniffing, war dodging, business failing chimpanzee destroy the English language. I deserve at least four years of someone who can express a simple thought without mumbling and stumbling.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Is there any doubt who the Republicans are working for? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080610/ap_on_go_co/congress_oil_profits
Still don't http://www.aztlan.net/oiltanker.htm get it http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?channelid=118&contentid=2857 ?
GOP blocks effort to tax oil companies at a time when they are enjoying record profits and Americans are paying $4 at the pump!
mccain is similar to reagan in that they didn't allow a little thing like dementia stop them from running for president. how is he going to deal with middle of the night situations with all those meds he's taking?
We all know that 1 DUI Dubya and 2 DUI + "shotgun your friend in the face" Cheney would never veto a beer!
In all likelyhood he was just giving a shout out to the source of his wife's hundreds of millions. It probably was his way of saying "thank you" to the free use of the company jet!
Yet again, the Republican party has demonstrated that they cannot nominate a coherent candidate.
aster @ 3:
Yes, sometimes, in the right light, you can see his marionette strings.
tr @ 38:
You raise a valid point.
Rob Scott @ 28:
Of course not. It's just funny that his slip included an unintentional reference to his wife's fortune.
Rob Scott @ 28:
I would think the overt senile dementia and incoherence of a Presidential candidate is a major issue. Then again, it didn't seem to count for Reagan or Bush.
Snowball @ 40:
:) They have to find someone to lead a coalition of big-government theocrats, no-government Libertarians, war profiteers and blue collar dupes.
Only those experienced in incoherence can handle such dissonance.
OMG - that's the last time I ever want to hear a presidential candidate snort - at himself. "I'm running out of funny lines" - nice to see he's working on that "jovial attitude" they told him he'd need to come even close to barely beating Obama.
is it me or does it seem like mccain's been eating a steady diet of stupid since he won the nom?
Why does he blink so much?
McCain's bringing back Prohibition???!!!
Then we're bringing back Capone.
(BTW, what the fuck's up with that black pen he pulled out? I thought he was going to jam it in somebody's eye)
ashabot @ 48:
It's the serial lying that does it.
you aint vetoing my beer you damn fascist!
There will be a revolution if you veto our beer.
Jo @ 13:
I suspect he was reefering to beermarks ...
RoscoPeeholePain @ 47:
he is on the neocon i.v. intravenous bullshit feeding
Sunni - Shiite. Iraq - Iran, Bill - Beer. The frequency of mental lapses is accelerating. If he's elected we may wind up with Bush's policies and Ray-gun's mental adroitness.
"An honest beer makes it's own friends, my friends."
McCain: “I will veto every single beer”
The Beer Baroness was not amused,
And it'll follow him to his bier.
If you're going to make an issue of this, don't bitch when the right makes an issue out of Obama saying "57 states". It's hard to defend our priorities when we're being as childish as they are. It's obvious he was combining bill and earmarks.
So I guess the idiots that Booed think War is good for Small Business?
Chuck U @ 58:
Ah, a concern troll, and a humorless one at that. You think we don't know that your party will pull out all the stops regardless of what we do?
Did Obama drink too many beers when he thought there were 57 states? Politicians speak non-stop on the campaign trail. Occasionally they make a verbal flub. Cut Obama and McCain some slack.
He really is Bush-on-steriods, wow.
Looks like McCain's 101st keyboard brigade has arrived.
Hi guys, boy are you all grumpy this year. Just can't let anybody have some fun can you?
Anon @ 22:
YES! Great call! He must be one of those America hating communist Muslim terrorist socialist Marxist homosexual-agenda-pushing liberals who want to infringe on peoples rights!!!
or maybe, just maybe, the whole "flag pin" issue is a giant bunch of crap sprayed across our media due to a lack of anything of substance that could be used to smear him.
I think he just lost teh Nascar dad vote with that comment...
living-abomination @ 64:
Just watch out for a fist bump...
Snowball @ 60:
Read my other posts if you think I'm a Republican troll. I'm not humorless. I just don't want to stoop to their level.
Chuck U @ 58:
Duh. Captain Obvious is in the house.
As for the number of states... I think we should make Iraq a state. That way they can have their very own National Guard and all of our other states' National Guard can come back home. And there is precedent. Alaska and Hawaii are not contiguous and Puerto Rico is a territory...they already know how to vote with purple fingers...although, Diebold will have to figure out how to run their voting machines without electricity. Just a thought.
just a thought
I think it was just "bill" + "earmark" = beer -- perhaps it's the traditional celebration after you get your earmark passed-- kind of like a "beermark". He's done so much worse, though. I think we should give him a break on this one.
So NOW they want a "civil" debate? How civil is LYING, fucktard?
I guess we can use this against the right AOL morons who bring up Senator Obama's verbal gaffe, the "57 States" 'controversy' every time a poll over there is linked to this site.
Other than that, I fucked up at least once speaking today.
The senile old fool must be in his second childhood. If he is elected, I predict his inauguration will be overshadowed by the stench from his loaded diapers.
He was introduced by the CEO of Ebay??? I find that curious. I know that Chimpy once pointed to the fact that people selling things on Ebay was proof that the American economy was strong, but didn't McCrazy make a similar comment once? Like I say, I find that curious. Anyway, these are the kind of people the McCrazy campaign wants to be associated with - the CEO of the next big DOTCOM to go bust in the not too distant future, and a failed HP CEO who was fired for spying on her own employees (hello, Carly! I'm talking about you, sweetheart!)
castanea @ 6:
i call mine mr johnson!
Another flub for the Senior Talk Express-: he's trying to bring back the glory days of Prohibition that he was around to see.
At least he didn't need Lie-bermann to wipe his ass this time.
McCain will veto every beer? ROFL
Without beer McCain you would travel by BUS and not that fancy plane of yours.
Funny, but merely a simple, innocent slip of the tongue. Nothing more. And I thought he recovered well. Lay off.
That said, is it just me or are his Ss whistling as much as Herbert The Pedophile from Family Guy?
LibertyLover @ 69:
For that matter, we should make Puerto Rico a state. They're US citizens, pay taxes and fight in our wars. No reason they shouldn't have a vote in our Presidential elections or have seats in Congress. The same can be said of the residents of DC. The only problem? They vote Democratic.
And Yet... @ 7:
You took the words right out of my mouth.The debates will be fun!!
Veto me a Spaten, Big John.
Snowball @ 41:
But someone who believes the USA comprises 57 states is coherent?
Bob Dole 2
He's the Champagne of Seniors!
Snowball @ 79:
Hey Snow!!! How are you?
And yes, PR should be a state, but, I didn't think that they wanted to be... And DC should absolutely be allowed to vote for President. Maybe if we get more Dems in Congress, it will happen.
He is making promises, which he cannot actually keep (so what is new). One of the biggest earmarks is for supporting Israel. I really do not think he will sit on the throne, but in the unlikely event he does, it will be fun to see him back away from this. He is a liar, so it will probably be rationalized away.
Beer ... what's wrong with veto-ing beer?
Beer should be veto-ed, too many drunks on the streets ... we should start cleaning up the streets as soon as possible.
Finally a candidate not afraid to speak the truth.
And while we're at it, let's get rid of violence in our schools.
They want more violence in our schools!
(Maam, maam that "violins" not "violence", they want more "violins" in our schools.)
Never mind.
MacDaKnife @ 86:
My wife's sister lives in Israel and has a family there(Israeli husband and kids). She said the Israelis want whoever is the most pro-Israel to be elected so she and all the Israelis are hoping McCain wins.
Let's nickname him "blinky McCain" or "Mr. Blink - a -lot " or "Blinky" since he blinks once per second. I hope a famous psychiatrist or many scientists write articles stating that people who blink once per second are nervous or lying. 'Blinky" might go stark -raving mad trying to control the excessive blinking.
Why does he blink so much?
And no mofo is touching my beer.
Mr. McBain....take another step toward my beer, you'll be drawing back a nub!
IF YOU THOUGHT BUSH WAS INCOMPETANT
wait till we get his aging cronie in office
h ah ah ha hah
John @ 5:
McCain is dangerous. Interruption is the least he deserves.
For all the blog time he is getting over this slip of the tongue, I don't recall visiting too many places and seeing a big todo about Obama saying he had visited 57 states and two more to go.
Snowball @ 45:
Please. What a stretch based on nothing. There are so many weak spots to attack this clown on, a slip of the tongue is beneath us as a weapon. (clearly, his brain had the "ear" in "earmark" forming a couple of words later and it came out a few works too soon.)
Bet McCain knows how many states are in the US though....just saying.
I can't believe this guy really thinks America will vote for him after 8 years of the current President Clark Griswold.
otto @ 94:
I wholeheartedly agree...but it's still funny!
Does anyone else hope that Saturday Night Live will use this "veto every beer" line to pay homage to Gilda Radner's weekend update character Emily Litella ("Oh, Never Mind")?
cray86 @ 1:
Come on - dont you get it? Its a play on words. Beer = Bill with earmarks.
Hm, with all of McCain's hyper earmark-squashing rhetoric, is anyone else surprised that Fox "News" has been running an anti-earmarks "special report" for the past couple of weekends?
"veto every single beer"
"That's not change we can beleive in, ngeeeeeennneeee"
Is he maybe a closet Muslim? I think we should be told.
He really shouldn't use that fucked up left arm to wave things around,. It just shows how bad his physical condition relly is. Too bad he can't hide that fucked up face.
cray86 @ 1:
Yeah, too old to be President.
As a Republican (with the electoral freedom of conscience that comes from living in a thoroughly blue state), I'll be voting for Bob Barr, and as an American, I hope Obama will be able to defeat Juan McInsane. If I lived in a swing state, I'd probably have to hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils ie., Senator Obama.
Whoa stop the presses McCain is soo old but...just the day before "The Obama" said that “no one needs to take their child the ER for a breahalyzer..ir inhalator..em ummmm Both are DWI testing machines, and he didn’t catch is mistatement at the time, now McCain catches his mistatement on the spot and he is “too old”?
Bunch-a-nasty o stank libs you all are.
