McCain's Vetting Crew Strikes Out. Again.

Oh for crying out loud. This is a campaign for the top office in the country and you're running behind. Don't you think it's worth having someone just run the occasional spell check?

Did you notice it? Marc Ambinder did, about 12 seconds in:

EVERBODY? Yeah, that's inspiring leadership.

The rePUBIC party is darksided, evil and demonic.

The right wing ideology has drifted toward satanistic tactics due to lust for power.

DEFEAT AND CONTAIN REPUBLICAN TRAITORS!

The New York Post is not a "leading newspaper".

I think McPalin's campaign is full of the best and brightest from Reagents, Liberty, and Oral Roberts Universities.

along with the Washington Post and some Dallas newspaper,
persona non grata on Obama's aeroplane after endorsing WcCain.

So, do we get a glimpse of how an Obama administration would be? If you don't support him you are against him and he will take care of you?

Well, yeah, at least if you're going to put it on TV, you'd think. Wonder what else they get wrong. Wonder if they even bother to check facts, ever, or just spew the diarrhea around. Makes you wonder if they misplace stuff like commas in their numerical values.

Hypothetcial example: Like we'll give everyone a health care tax credit of $5,000. (Post election correction: Sorry for any mistakes, but that should have been $50.00.)

That looks more like a member of the military... Did Joe serve?

I don't think it was meant to be Joe at all. If it was then they really did miss the mark.

The hair on top of the head is not Joe's doo or even similar to Joe's doo. Methinks they were tossing the "troops" into the air, not unlike they've been doing for the past five years.

Well, you've got to figure that it's only the hardcore fuckwits and felons who are still with McCain, and neither party cares about spelling...

GoshGollyGee Palin's team is just as bad, being pranked by a Canadian radio duo. If only her staff had some of the cash from her wardrobe budget, they could have invested in the latest supersecret identity technology: caller ID.

That was funny!

I could never be a detective! I missed the whole fucking point! Damn it! Everbody! Jesus, Mark! Are you wearing your friggin' glasses?

I am now. "EVER-BODY"...

Please disregard all of the previous comments by thepoetryman except for the on where I ridicule myself! I was looking at the visual on the picture and completely missed the letters. For a man who loves words it sure as hell took me long enough!

The sheer idiocy of the Republican base these days is astonishing. What effing morons.

The desperation of the McCain campaign never ceases to amaze me. I don't understand how they can get away with such bold face lies.

3 days to go. Help your friends make sure to vote!

Actually, it was initially spelled correctly, but edited after Sarah Palin insisted that there was no "y".


Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?

Hi everbody, hows ya'lls doin?

Don't you know? McCain is just speaking to his base.

You people are way to critical. Maybe they were referring to the band Everbody.

I'm being told there is no band called Everbody.

That's just embarrassing.

I think you're thinking of Everclear.

BTW, anybody else wince a little bit whenever they hear 'Just As You Suspected' as a political tagline?

my wife and i saw a homemade sign today

a vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for Indepedence!

i think misspellings are obligatory in this campaign...or maybe it's campain

You've got to hand it to The "Mavrick" and his band of clowns. If nothing else, they're good for a laugh.

Sorry, but I don't think this is a case of Fox News-like sloppiness. I think it's an intentional misquoting of Obama, with the - and I hate to use this term - "ebonics" version of the word "everybody." Barack's a black man, dontchaknow, so he says things like "everbody" and "lemme ax you a question." It's racist and it's on purpose, like everything else Rove does during a campaign.

By far, the funniest thing that I have seen today. Is it wrong that I laugh derisively at any McCain/Palin faux pas?

Tax the Rich's picture

Whenever I hear one of these right wing imbeciles use the old "socialism" bullshit, I tell them to their face that they are dumber than 20 lbs of dog shit!

Then I explain just exactly how big a dumbass they are that they haven't yet noticed that the biggest socialist, welfare queens on the planet, are the American rich - REPUBLICAN'S!

Many of these misspellings/mispronunciations may be simple politics.
The late Molly Ivins (does anyone else miss her? especially given the laughable candidates we've been slung??) wrote that good English often was bad politics, and that candidates play to the ill-educated masses by mispronouncing and by the selective usage of bad grammar. Of course, she wrote it far better than I do, and I refuse to quote her on this, so that you all will GO READ HER BOOKS!
Texas isn't the only place on earth this political philosophy works. Thus "nucular" might be spoken while the teleprompter offers up phonetic cues for correct pronunciation.

In your mockery of the McCain campaign for not catching "everbody," you refer to "teh gay" twice. I've suggested before that you need a proofreader and finally decided that your attitude was that the message was all important and little things like correct and comprehensible use of the language were unimportant. I even decided you were, to a degree at least, right. But now . . .

Nicole Belle's picture

Urban dictionary:
1. teh

Originally started off as a typo for "the", but recently has changed a bit in meaning. "Teh" still means "the", however, it is mostly used in the same manner that spanish speaking people use the word "El".
"I got two cookies with teh whipped cream!" makes sense, but "I got two cookies with the whipped cream!" doesn't. Get what I mean?

2. teh

(addendum)
Has the ability to turn nearly any word into a noun.
My definitions are teh win!
That loser is teh sux.

1. teh gay

Derived from the common mispelling of 'the'.

1. The non-existent malady that one catches by being around homosexuals (males especially).

2. Term used mostly by those denigrating anti-homosexual positions of religious leaders and far-right wing politicians.
"Yo, John went to San Fransisco and caught 'teh gay'!"

"The Governor wants to prohibit homosexual couples from being foster kids? He must think they'll catch 'teh gay' or something! LOL!"

It's a common parlance on the internet and one used frequently on this site. I am, amazingly enough, a professional editor and know very well how to write using correct grammar. It was a stylistic choice that comports with the medium.
