Is that a wife-beater or a bib?

Excellent, either way!

There's nothing funny about this, and it's just disrespectful of his war heroness. The fact that he can't raise his arms because he panicked and forgot to pull his arms and legs in for ejection when he crashed for the 5th time he was tortured by the VC has been well publicized by the Main Stream MotherfuckersMedia, even though he never misses an opportunity to talks about it...just sayin'.

You guys are making fun and no one seems to realize the gift that was dropped in your lap. This photo is like the Dukakis photo moment of him in uniform with a stupid hat sitting atop of a tank.

This could be one of the most humiliating photos a candidate can be portrayed in in this election season. Yeah, yeah, everyone wears one from time to time depending on the type of food (though I never have). But what's worse is that he's not putting it on himself, he's having it done for him.

Used properly, besides just humiliating, it shows his elitism. First, he doesn't pump his own gas, doesn't know what the price is for it and says it doesn't really matter. And he can't even put on his own bib??? How out of touch and elite is this guys? !!!!!

No, Sir, Senator, it does not look silly...It looks good on you....Very masculine. Now, why don't you just relax, think of it as wearing a really wide tie, drink your Ensure from your sippy-cup and eat your strained peaches while I help the rest of the staff search the bus for your teeth.

OK Grandpa, we are going to eat some hot dogs now. Put on your bib and try not to choke on them. There, there, that's a good Grandpa. Afterword you can have some rice pudding and a heaping of right wing lobbying donations. Then it's time for night night.

This is the guy we want to run the country? Please dear plastic Jeebus, let these semi retarded neophytes see the error of their ways.

Hemlock for Gadflies's picture

Cincinnati, OH. 4 July 2008 (AP): In a campaign stop today, Republican presidential hopeful John McCain was escorted to a local G.O.P. barbecue by his "senior caregiver," campaign officials said. The Arizona Republican and decorated war hero stopped in the Ohio city to celebrate Independence Day. When questioned, a spokesman for the McCain campaign denied allegations that the candidate is too old to feed himself, but would acknowledge that McCain has had a senior caregiver since he reached retirement age after the Battle of Gettysburg.

it just means he's used to being a member of the upper class. if he were drooling, that'd be another story and a good one at that.

karen marie's picture

to all pussy-footing commenters who think it's "not nice" or "unfair" to laugh at the picture because mccain was "wounded honorably":

i'll start thinking about having some sympathy for mccain when he demonstrates that he has sympathy for the american people. so far all i've seen is a whole lot of spin and "well of course i deserve be elected president, bush promised i could be next!" and a vacuum hole where his policy proposals should be.

oh, that's right, he doesn't need policy proposals because ... well, because he's mccain, the battle-scarred maverick, and he doesn't need to explain what it is he thinks he's going to do as leader of the united states. in fact, it's insulting of you to even ask because, after all, he was a prisoner of war.

[Cool your jets- no one is having entire comments deleted on this thread. You just crossed the threshhold and called someone a name. It wasn't a horrible name, but we've got to draw the line somewhere. BTW, I don't think the bib has anything to do with his injuries. He's probably at a rib joint.

As for broken shoulders being the result of torture what's the evidence for this? I always hear that mccain was tortured, but also that he aided and abetted the enemy with propaganda recordings. Is there any credible, non-partisan, source that details evidence of torture? Broken shoulders could also be the result of crashing a jet, and not getting the best of medical care.
