So McCain Will Speak For Over 1 Hour Tonight -- Big Mistake IMHO

[Blackhatjack]

People need to know more about Left Field VP Choice, and People need to keep from falling asleep when McCain is speaking.

Once people realize that McCain has nothing new to show them, the yawn factor will kick in, and they will either turn the channel or drift off to dreamland!

[PBS Poll-435]

1. Can I get an estimated "My Friends" count?

I am going to go with....



376 times in a 72 minute speech.

[Bigleaf]

8. Yep. I'm looking forward to "My Friends" count and that fucking goofy smile of his. Can't Wait!

:sarcasm:

[PBS Poll-435]

10. His teeth look like Chicklets

:D

[elehhhhna]

12. lemon flavored

[Bigleaf]

20. I know. You think Cindy would tone down the wardrobe a bit & buy him a set of falsies.

[hedgehog]

17. Just don't use it in a drinking game - alcohol poisoning is serious business!

[samuraiguppy]

34. I will watch it as

a drinking game--everytime mcbush says "my friends" DRINK. hopefully I won't end up killing myself tonight!

[Muttocracy]

2. I nearly fell asleep listening to his ultra-cranky Time interview! nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. NO Way..... It has to be a tape and film plus a 10 min speech

There is no way he could do an hour.

[elehhhhna]

13. He TOTALLY loses it about 20 minutes in. Always! Watch for it.

[Ichingcarpenter]

He has problems with Telepromters....... repeatably and documented

Plus, that time of day is way past his peak energy level..

This might be good.

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. I wonder if he'll mention Beer like he did reading off that other gaff he did.

[JohnnyBoots]

4. I hopehe wanders off topic at some point or just seems lost in his delivery. nt

[Parker CA]

23. Or wanders off that runway they have built.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Remember his response to Obama accepting the nomination?

I expect something equally pathetic.

Not that I'll be watching.

[gateley]

6. No kidding. It'll be painful. Good. :-) nt

[valerief]

7. YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! He will BORE America to DEATH!

He does that in five minutes, but an hour????

WAIT!!!! What if he wants people to tune out so they won't hear what he DOESN'T say? And people can just assume he laid out plans to help the poor and middle class. Hmm.

[elehhhhna]

Maybe he'll Hy-mo-tize us!

[valerief]

22. Dyno-mite!

[me b zola]

9. I hear that he plans to pace back and forth across the stage

pretending that it is a town hall meeting. :crazy:

[lob1]

11. He won't speak for an hour, it'll just seem like it.

[Turn CO Blue]

14. The camera ops being told to not pan around the audience..

at the mid-point of the speech, I'm sure. No doubt the attendees will all be yawning, stretching, talking, and nodding off. What a riot if we get a video collage of that!

I hope McCain goes long in his speech and gives that creepy smile after ever line he thinks is potentially funny.

[TeamJordan23]

15. I think most of the time will be videos and stuff. nm

[TornadoTN]

16. 1 hour from this guy?

Yeah, this will end well.

[denverbill]

37. That photo of the McCain rally always cracks me up! n/t

[Blackhatjack]

50. This will be the part of the speech devoted to the Economy....

[AzDar]

18. Let him speak...didn't you know ? HE WAS A POW!!11!!

:)


They didn't HAVE microphones in the Hanoi Hilton!11!!

[GodlessBiker]

19. Over an hour? Who is he, John Fidel McCain?

[backscatter712]

21. Think some joker can program the video display behind him to display a green screen?

That way, we can make sure that we can enhance his speech and make it more interesting. :bigdumbgrin;

[undeterred]

25. Isn't his bedtime 7pm? Is he starting at 6pm?

[Phoonzang]

26. My friendsssss n/t

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

27. All those old bladders won't be able to take it n/t

[Balderdash]

28. The longer he talks

the better for us, he'll sink himself.

[nc4bo]

29. Drinking game anyone??? What cha drinkin'! Gonna get crunk in here LOL nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. I'm calling for at least one Face Palm also

[Life Long Dem]

30. Wrrong

[renate]

32. One hour? AWESOME!!!!

A whole hour of a grumpy old man with a creepy smile and a droning voice... I couldn't ask for a better present! :woohoo:

[a kennedy]

33. They're changing the set where mcsame is going to give his speech

they're making it more conducive to his type of speech, "town hall"??? He'll feel more comfortable....
:eyes: :puke:

[Marnieworld]

35. Only opposite the start of Football season

It's like they don't want anyone watching.

[onenote]

51. game starts at 7 -- should be ending around time McCain starts

[Marnieworld]

58. Is that the kickoff?

And perhaps it could run long. It happens. In any case many football fans will not be thinking politics tonight.

[NV Whino]

36. Oh man, do they have the IV and oxygen ready...

For us?

[BeyondGeography]

38. He's really incompetent; runs a convention devoid of specifics then overcompensates

[graywarrior]

39. He's gonna read for an hour.

T O R T U R E.

[cwydro]

40. Yeah, I'm thinking this is gonna be a snoozer.

Whatsherface may have woken'em up, but Gramps is gonna put'em all back in sandman land.

[TlalocW]

41. Great, here's the whole speech

My friends
Sarah's a hockey mom
I was a POW
Pepper with a few 9/11 references

TlalocW

[Barack_America]

42. His speeches should come with a warning: "Do not listen while driving or operating heavy machinery"

If I'm going to watch this thing tonight, I'd better make sure all my chores are done and change into PJs beforehand. I have a feeling I'll be falling asleep on the couch tonight. :eyes:

[yourguide]

43. I heard it was 25 minutes. are you sure?

[Greyskye]

46. 35 minutes worth of USA! USA! chants take up the remainder of the time

:puke:

[Blackhatjack]

53. Wolf Blitzer at CNN stated that less than 1 hour ago...

But Wolfie has been known to exaggerate a coming disaster.

I understand that he will have 1 hr and Cindy McCain will have a separate block of time reserved just for recognizing her accomplishments. IF they list them all and repeat twice there is bound to be time left over.

[Love Bug]

44. Jeezus -- one hour of "You kids get off my lawns!"

Hell, he'll put even the delegates to sleep!

[Kitty Herder]

45. Isn't that dangerous?

It could lead to mass suicides.

[Born_A_Truman]

47. An hour? OMG, that's a million "My Friends" and "Drill, Drill, Drill"

What is that in dog years? He better be handing out Red Bulls to the audience.

[dana_b]

48. nap time!!

:boring:

[BelgianMadCow]

49. GOP Convention 2008 site has him at < 1 hour, as there is also a video

in the same hour alloted to his speech...

[beac]

52. If you are a Neilsen family PLEASE don't watch it!

Watch it online or the next day. PLEASE don't give McInsane the ratings!

[renie408]

54. Aren't they worried about him dropping dead before he can finish the speech?? n/t

[ladywnch]

55. yeah it will run over an hour but there will only be 30 minutes worth of material in it!

Lieberman is the only person who reads slower than McCain! :rofl:

[dkofos]

56. Hope he can stay awake thru the whole speech.

[Heather MC]

57. This is great news

If we don't watch
a 1 hour speech from McCain will kill off anyone who is listening to him talk
think
Mars Attacks exploding heads!

[jane_pippin]

59. Criminey dutch! He's going to kill the drinking gamers with alcohol poisoning

That's a lot of "my friends" and POW talk.

[XRubicon]

60. Football is on.. no one will watch anyway.

[ObamaKerryDem]

61. An hour? Sweet Jesus. I can't stand listening to that whistling of his for 5 mins..

much less an entire HOUR. You'd think with all Cindy's money, she could afford to take him to the dentist and fill in that hole...

[grace0418]

62. That creepy smile takes a long time to muster up, plus he has to mention "POW" and "my friends"

at least 1,000,000,000,000,000 times each. That alone can take up an hour.

[fishwax]

63. that's outstanding news, if true

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

64. How many minutes in will their eyes start to glaze over?
