Megan – there are plenty of good reasons to not vote for John McCain. His wife stealing recipes is not one of them. That is all.

The fact is, torturing people to get information, especially when they torture, behead and attack us with homicide bombs, is not war crime, but standard practice in the new war. You should get over it and stop wringing your hands and wetting your pants. America is strong.

Ah heerds Juan McCain won’t build thet steel wall across the Suthrin’ border likes I wanna see, with mines an guns an all thet kinda stuff! Why don’t he just hand all mah taxes over to the brown peoples and let ‘em give mah fambily awful diseases? Pfeh, gotta go, NASCAR is on.

Oh, and isn’t Meagan the one with the awful vomitous recipies, or was that someone else? Maybe she’s just pissed off Cindy “Norco” McCain didn’t plaigarize her down-home feel-good recipes.

Aww, Cindy’s cooking is great. She throws in tons of oxys into everything.

I’m thinking this MMc is a far too easy target, though quite deserving of short mocking posts such as this one. I just didn’t realize that she was possibly this deficient intellectually. There’s nothing there, is there?
Left_Wing_Fox said,

April 18, 2008 at 15:24

In a sane world, Obama’s Orange Juice preference would be a non-issue, Cindy’s blog would make for a round of talk-show jokes, and McCain’s conflation of Iran and Al Qaeda would be a scandal that would dog him to the polls.

At this point, American Democracy would be better served by making winner of ‘America’s Next Top Model” the president. I would be shorter, and less of an insult to our intelligence.

Yeah, you find yourself feeling sorry for Megan, the poor little white girl. Then she goes back to talking about how much better she is than anyone else, and the guilt goes away.

I find it odd that it doesn’t even occur to the economist that Cindy McCain doesn’t have any recipes becasue she’s so freaking rich that she’s probably never cooked a meal in her life.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Now Megan’s discussing Obama’s gay factor.

And he’s running against a much-decorated fighter pilot renowned for chasing women until his walker started getting in the way.

Megan, dear, you’re supposed to criticize philanderers, not admire their randiness. Conservatives are the real moral relativists.

Megan 04/16:
“I do not know whether being a woman has ultimately helped or hurt my career, and I don’t waste time worrying about it. But I get a little testy when Kerry Howley and I, among many others, see the comment threads on our media appearances degenerate into extended wardrobe critiques, or debates about whether and under what conditions one might ‘hit that’.”

Megan 04/17:
“Forget about my issues with John McCain; I’m not sure the nation can survive four years with such an inept liar in the office of First Lady. What on earth is she going to say the first time Lyudmila Putin says ‘What do you think of my suit?’”

Gary, the fact is you demand to be spoon-fed proof by others, when have you ever provided any for your inane assertions? Where’s your proof that torture is now magically not a war crime under international law based on treaties we’ve signed? And please, Yoo’s wishful thinking is not proof. The Constitution says treaties, once signed, are “the law of the land,” law the president must either follow or work within the legal, Constitutional framework to have repealed. It may be “standard procedure,” but anything defined as a war crime in signed treaties or US laws is a war crime UNTIL those laws are REPEALED, by fucking definition. Now, either you prove otherwise or shut the fuck up.

If Lyudmila were to make her way to the White House somehow she might be asked about the tire tracks across her suit because there is a report out that Putin threw her under the bus in favor of a 24 year old gymnast.

I don’t give a fuck about Cindy McCain’s recipes or her pill addiction as political issues. I’ve never been addicted to pills but if it’s anywhere near as difficult to kick painkillers as it is to kick nicotine she has my empathy. I can’t get off the fags to save my life.

I have a delicious egg salad recipe, which I never eat, because I loathe cold egg. Isn’t that fascinating? I have never eaten cold egg. Except one time when someone made me something with chopped liver, and that did have egg in it. Some of my many adoring fans must be wondering how I can eat chopped liver but not egg! Well, I guess it is because I never really had a reason to eat egg salad. It isn’t something that you are expected to eat. It isn’t as though a person of sophistication must eat egg salad.

Do you want to see me eat an egg salad sandwich? I’ll do it! Look at me, I’m eating it! Look at me!

Keep marginalizing yourselves. McCain will win Michigan and Pennsylvania and New York and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Keep trying, buddy. I smoked for 30 years, just quit a couple years ago. It’s a wonderful change. Even though I’m too fat, with the cycling I do my resting heart rate is 60 bpm. It feels good to feel good.

Check this out…it was the tool I used to finally kick. Whatever you do, don’t give up. A buddy of mine has been struggling with lung cancer for the last several years. I can promise you that is not something you want to go through.

Cooked a meal? I’d be willing to bet that when Cindy McCain wants a Snickers bar, she has a servant whose only job is to unwrap it for her and another to swab stray peanut fragments from betwixt her teeth.

And if I may leap into the great egg salad controversy, I’m especially fond of adding chopped steamed spinach into the mix. (I love spinach. So? Sue me.)

Thanks, OneMan. I appreciate the link and the encouragement and in turn I wish good luck and a lack of shame to anyone reading this who’s addicted to anything. TV included. And now I’ll return to my regular surly dick of the internets persona.

I was checking out this post at Yglesias about Obama making a Jay-Z reference at in a speech yesterday and came across a new crazy named riverdaughter in the comments section. She, a co-blogger and her commenters are sorely vexed here and here by what they perceive as Obama giving Clinton and her supporters the finger at 1:20 in that same video. The second post on the issue references this comment at HuffPo and it made me laugh harder than anything since “Egon Schlemiel”:

Update 2: This comment from huntingtonpost tells me all I need to know about the Obama attitude towards *us*:

Plain as day to all except the Democratic National Committee who say he was just scratching his nose. I called the Obama campaign to complain: 1-866-675-2008 and they LAUGHED. They all think it is a great big cut up. Perhaps if we all call he’ll have to own up to it before the PA vote on Apr. 22.

They laughed. Hmmm, maybe they won’t think it’s so funny if their phone lines are jammed.

They laughed? NFW!!!

Y’know, the tipoff that the recipes weren’t actually Cindy’s was that the dessert recipes didn’t include crushed Quaaludes (or substitute powdered Oxycontins if Quaaludes aren’t available) as a topping.
