Sen. Casey Blasts McCain, Calls Him Bush's "Sidekick"
Senator Bob Casey came out swinging Tuesday night and landed a few direct hits on the jaws of the "Bush-McCain Republicans."

"John McCain calls himself a maverick, but he votes with George Bush 95% of the time. That's not a maverick. That's a sidekick."
"The Bush-McCain Republicans inherited the strongest economy in history and drove it into a ditch. They cut taxes on the wealthiest of us, and passed the pain to the least of us. They ran up the debt gave huge subsidies to oil companies and now they're asking for four more years? How bout four more months."
There's something about the camera zoom and the way he says "that's a sidekick" that just cracks me up.
Devilstower at dKos has a great graphic.
Bob Casey, Dennis kucinich, Brian Schweitzer and Hillary Clinton were great!
Sidekick, bitch... toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe.
And in my house, we call it an 'arselick[er]'
Question for the C&Lers:
The Obama/Biden victory will pull two Democrats out of the Senate. What methods exist to replace them? By-election? Appointment? And if appointment, by whom, Democrat or Repub?

'maters?
Maverick he's not
He lands where the wind blows him
Always POW
Hey Rusty,
The haiku is for you.
Bush Tragedy and the Sundown Kid.
Quicktime link doesn't work
I know how I could blast mcgramps.
Just stand me in front of him facing away from him and feed me a load of jalapenoes.
Both video links are dead.
8 Liberal AND Proud Says: Bush Tragedy and the Sundown Kid.
As Gary and the Pacemaker's would put it,
"I like it."
Liberal AND Proud @ 8:
Liberal and Proud, thats funny! I'll use it and I promise to footnote it to you.
Good Ol' "Gabby" McCain.
Getting sick of hollow words from those who refused to act on impeachment.
ALL the repugs and MOST of the Dems are Bush's sidekicks.
Northern Trombonist @ 4:
When a Senator leaves the Senate, the governor of that state appoints a new one to fill in the rest of the term. Luckily, Illinois and Delaware both have Democratic governors, so it will be no loss.
Poor Rudy. No Hillary to protect him. Me thinks Rudy is about to be exposed.

95% Wow. Tonto said "no" to the Lone Ranger more often than that.
Move on People, Nothing to see here @ 13:
No need to footnote.
Hell, wisecracking is about the only way left to get through the lunacy of these last 8 years.
JoeMarasmus @ 16:
Hey thanks!

We call him a dipshit.

Both the quicktime and windows video links appear to be broken.
Nicole Belle: No, they aren't broken, we're under attack on our servers. Try again in a couple of minutes as our tech guys stabilize things.
SIDEKICK!!!!! I think that is great. The Dems ought to stick with that title for McCain. The media likes to call McCain a Maverick. I think it would stick it to McCain and the media by turning their title of McCain on them and calling him a sidekick. The media and the GOP like to parse terminology. Sidekick is a more precise word to describe John McCains political style.
What about "henchman"?
B
Not to nit pick but Sen Casey said "more than 90% of the time"
Launchpad McQuack. It's eerie.
Howzaboiut fixin' them there vids?
Loonie @ 28:
Yeah, they aren't working for me, either. Thanks!
This is good? It was a terribly boring and lifeless speech. He ruined the punch line. This is the best the Democrats can do? Two wasted days with no consistent theme of why Democrats should lead and how Republicans have failed. It's been a big muddled message with McCain's name barely being mentioned. I guarantee Barack Obama's name will be mentioned more times on Day 1 of the RNC than the entire DNC put together. The Republicans will eviscerate Obama each and everyday culminating in a rousing call to arms by McCain with his POW picture and US flag as back drops. This is pathetic.
sidekick, kinda like Pelosi.
[Deleted. Off topic. Site Monitor]
Time to give the sidekick an asskick.
Shade Tail @ 24:
Damn those hackin bastages!
Second that, Loonie. Vids are unavailable.
That's not a maverick. that's a sidekick" - That needs to be in every campaign ad going forward. Its catchy, it memorable, it works. The Obama team should be using that everyday.
maleman @ 22:
How dare you don't you know he was a POW blah blah blah five and a half years blah blah blah ABBA
"sidekick" is putting it nicely; he's been the Chimp's whipping boy since Bush lacerated him in the primaries of 2000. Since then he's been carrying water for him. Every wonder why that all occurred? It seems that the Bush camp has mucho evidence about McTwin's actual military service and the loss of soldiers due to his errors in judgment which they've been holding over his head. It's blackmail, pure and simple.
I could think of other monikers which are more fitting than sidekick but they'd be censored her. It doesn't take much of one's imagination.....
How apropos that Chimpy and Sidekick will be meeting in the "twin cities" - two "twins" separated at birth meeting in the Twin Cities. Poetic justice.
holeinthewall @ 31:
Evidently, you haven't been watching the same convention as everyone else has? Get your head out of your sorry butt and face the music. Once Joe Biden is finished tearing McBush apart limb by sorry, atrophied limb, all that will be left will be mincemeat of McSidekick. McBush can't complete a singular though because the synaptic activity in his brain is thoroughly compromised. Besides, what can he allude to as a strong point when 95% of the time he's supported Bush's failed policies?? He's got nothing, nada, and no winning cards in his hand. Besides, when the diagnosis of his invasive cancer (remember the mysterious mole which was removed?), he will become a liability to the people.
Besides, who wants to worry every day about some PTSD compromised individual with a hair-trigger temper whose self esteem registers at about a two and who has to check himself for cancerous lesions every day?? No one does.

chew on this link just for an appetizer....and then google the hundreds of articles with evidence from soldiers who served with him and then let's talk about his dubious "military career". The "main course" is even more heinous and criminal.
http://judicial-inc.biz/82jjohn_mccain_and_the_uss_forresta.htm
Trying again.....begin here and do the homework to discover the truth about McSame's military record.
maleman @ 22:
That would be a crotchety, broken, old dipshit with a botox mistress in tow.
1e47Kansaskowboy @ 25:
Sidekick as in comic relief. He fashions himself to be quite a creative little speaker with that shit-eating grin and flashing eyes - except no one is laughing unless they're laughing at him.
I don't know what the hell's going on here but nothing is registering and there isn't a comment since 12:35 AM. I'm outta here. I have no time for incompetence and better things to do with my time than fart around with horrible technology. Go to Huffpo and Think Progress. Ditch this site.
you guys should watch the video (politico.com videos) of barabara boxer describe mccain's temper. this is what the media is giving him a pass on. HE IS NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT. HE WILL GET US INTO WWIII!
Nicole Belle: No, they aren’t broken, we’re under attack on our servers. Try again in a couple of minutes as our tech guys stabilize things.
So, we have trolls AND bugs in the system.
Ooops...sitemonitor...please delete comment #48
[I was so far ahead of you... :D Site Monitor]
McCain aka McBush or Bush's son
Someone needs to parody 'The Incredibles' and stick McCain's face on a picture of Buddy.
Shade Tail @ 24:
So it's been about 4 hours and I still can't watch the vids. How's it going? Any updates on the situation?
[Still working on it, Shade Tail. :^( Site Monitor]
Well, I'm a Pennsylvanian, and truthfully, the only reason Bob Casey is a US senator is:
A) his Dad was a relatively decent PA governor; and,
B) because the other choice was Ricky "man-on-dog" Santorum.
error 404
I was expecting him to be stiff like his dad, but he was excellent.
both vids not working: error 404
Casey '16!
osiris @ 43:
I always liked "bloviating fucktard".
I have been trying to play these all day, forget trying back in a couple of minutes, they must have given up on fixing this. Too bad, looked like a real good speech!
Liberal AND Proud @ 8:
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the Elite are sleeping in his bed
tax breaks for the rich
Those bailouts for the corporates, they keep Bailing'
So I just did me some talkin' to Karl Rove
And I gaffe some talking points on the campaign road
Slipping' of my tongue
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The Attack they send to smear me won't defeat me
It won't be long till media steps up to complete me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my foe will soon be turnin'up dead
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the bribe from lobbying'
Because I'm elite
Nothin's worryin' me
Error 404
Here's a working YouTube link:

A democatic executive would be worth the loss of two senators, unless your from trollsylvania
Both video links are STILL dead!
Still no vids?
obviously the links to video are wrong or there are no files on the server
