Obama campaign chief of staff Jim Messina has some tough words for John McCain while detailing the campaign's strategy during a meeting with Iowa Democrats.
"Arizona: If McCain continues to be the schmuck he's being, we're gonna play there...tell some truth."

truth in advertizing!
schmuck
Shmuck! But he was a POW for 5 years! (I'm not sure if that's an exoneration or an explanation! /snark/)
I suppose that's kinder than calling him a "dick." By the way, has McLame chosen a VP candidate yet? First I read he has, then I read he hasn't, then I read that he's making an appearance with what he hasn't chosen yet tomorrow. Sounds about on par for the old goat, what the bleep is a Pawlenty anyway?
McCain has picked Tim Pawlenty.... according to Red State and Free Republic. He's slos currently 80% on Intrade.
If true, this is great news for Dems. He's putting all his eggs in Minnesota's basket. I would've been concerned if he'd picked Palin, Huckabee, and maybe even Romney.
That being said, this could be a head shake. Pawlenty's a wimp.
If the Rethuglicans will stop lying about us, we will stop telling the truth about them.
Yeah, right!!!!!!
God he reminds me of Stan Laurel in that picture.
What time is Obama's speech tonight?
You gotta waste at least five planes to be called that!
"McShmuckles"
Chicken "Hussein" Little - Not! @ 8:
i believe 7:00pacific time....not sure though...gore just started speaking
What an insult - there must be more uses for discarded foreskin than for McCain!
Chicken "Hussein" Little - Not! @ 8:
Al Gore is on now then one other speach and then Obama. Probably within an hour. Where is the open thread?
I so want to post that in Denver it is sunny, warm, and well, the Holy-Rollers must not have any influence with God!
I'd call him a putz, a little more benign than schmuck. Rove and the handlers are schmucks.
Rhymes with 'schmuck', anyway.
it's true, but a bad move for the campaign - now McCain's side can (truthfully) say team Obama is attacking him personally - look for this to not quickly go away and to distract even more from how much of a 'schmuck' McCain is being
damn it
Shit... "head fake" LOL
Ginger Oaks @ 13:
Thanks, I've got just enough time to pin down the last panel, put away my tools, clean up, pop up some popcorn and watch Obama knock it out of the park.
By the way, in a bit of religious (and Scandinavian humor) guess what "Gustav" translates to.....wait for it......"Staff of God", a bit of delicious irony. Just hope it turns out to be no big deal....those folks have been hammered enough.
Perhaps this is more appropriate.
Schmuck? Nah. I think he's more of a Shmendrik.
cheesesauce @ 19:
Damn! Beat me to it!
:o)
Schmuck entered English as a borrowed word from Yiddish, where it is an obscene term literally meaning a foreskin or head of a penis (HAHAHAHA), and an insult. In his famous cultural lexicon, The Joys of Yiddish, Leo Rosten lists the Yiddish schmuck as related to the Slovene word, šmok, meaning "a fool, an innocent, a gullible dolt"
7:15 Obama speaks! PDT
Ron @ 23:
thanks.....ron
Ron @ 23:
I got my streaming video set up and I've got to tell you Gore just did a stand up job. Looks like we might be on a roll here.
Look at that crowd, holy smokes, that is something else.
Chicken "Hussein" Little - Not! @ 8:
10:00 or 10:15 p.m EST
did anybody else see this today......?

what's a Pawlenty? it's what i've been waiting fors, it fills in the missing name.
Pawlenty, Pawlenty and Mccain, mccain, mccain.
what do ya wanna do tinight Mccain? samething we everynight Pawlenty, plot to take
over the world.
Um, this is a little off-topic, but has anybody noticed that those "Terror Alert" color codes that used to be everywhere are now no where to be seen (at least down here in Florida). Just in time for the primaries and McCain's run for the White House. Hmmm....
Gosh, if John McCain doesn't quit being mean we might, we might, well we might tell his mommy!
Of course McCain is going to keep "being a schmuck"! Haven't you been paying attention to the Republican party for the past, oh, century?
Enough talk. Enough handwringing over whether Obama's going to be perceived as mean. Attack already idiots.
Calling McCain a Schmuck is a compliment compared to what I hear people call him
80,000 people in the Stadium and thousands are still waiting to get in.
EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING 10,000 TOGETHER FOR OHIO. ROFL
Catsandbeer.com @ 16:
you kidding right? Lordy if you think schmuck is bad you should hear what we call him in "the frozen north" lol. If you think that that should send the dems the to fainting couch with the vapours in fear of the repubs response then the dems truely are are party of wimps. All politics are hardball and if the dems don't grow a pair you'll be looking at Pres McLoon.
Tim @ 22:
Which is odd because "Dolt" is an American Indian word meaning "one who sits in tree making squirrel sounds".
In response, the McCain campaign said, "POW POW POW POW POW!".
You think it's cool that he called McCain a Schmuck?
OLD WRINKLY SCHMUCK!

CILOISIN SAYS: Yeah ya Schmuck!
ciloisin @ 39:
I can't match your intellect.
cheesesauce @ 19:
I agree. Much more appropriate.
If you think the word is a tad off-color, would idiot or fool (either said in a benign tone of voice of course) fit better with your sense of politesse?
Think follower, not leader.

Didn't a republican call somebody a schmuck earlier this year? I don't recall who said it or about whom, but it touched off a minor firestorm and he ended up apologizing. Do we really want to go back to that?
And besides, I gotta say, there are much better things to call McCain. Like warmonger, incompetent, hot head, uninformed, etc. Those all have the virtue of being true and aren't just empty name calling.
At least he didn't call McCain a dick...oh wait, he did call him a dick.
Le Roi Est Mort @ 20:
Gaaah, ya beat me to it! Le mot juste.
Typing this from downtown Mpls.. The corporate festoonery and intimidating cop stations are already out on the streets.
Going to be a long week next week.
Canuck Observer @ 34:
I don't think it's bad - or enough - I think he's acting like a senile piece of fucking shit - I just know how it's going to play and it will cause much more trouble than it's worth (which is nothing at all)
Messina. A very smart and capable person. Yeah, he cut his teeth managing successful political campaigns in Montana. Anybody see a trend here?
please have some respect McCain
he's not a schmuck
he's a farbissener alter kocker
a gold-plated asshat
Hey, the photo of McCain is the same one I used on a recent post of mine - McCain needs to stop playing the POW card since he does not support veterans…

Pawlenty "the bridge is scheduled to be replaced in 2020."
as his aide leans over Lieberman style and whispers into his ear, "psssstt Mr. Governor, the bridge collapsed yesterday"
Transcript? Keep getting an "error opening file" fault.
Actually, calling that evil little shithead a "schmuck " seems pretty charitable.
Jim Messina said that? Do Richie Furay and Kenny Loggins agree with him?
Oy vey!
Unnecessary. At least point out why you think him a shmuck and let the listener decide. Myebe we'll come up with a tougher name.
He's not a schmuck he's a "Putz".
Maybe this will get the Jewish vote.
McShmuck
