McCain Not Being Bush

You may have seen Democratic Rep. John Murtha's sweeping statements about his part of western Pennsylvania being "racist" (and his subsequent "redneck" mea culpa). Not exactly laying the ground work for racial harmony. So John McCain arrived in Pennsylvania today all set to capitalize on Murtha's boneheaded remarks. Well, McCain's got the boneheaded part down:

You can see the glimmer of recognition of the flub, like he just chased Road Runner off the edge of the cliff. There's the split-second decision to try to pull off a miracle escape. But his legs stop spinning and gravity takes over and from there it's a long way down. For a guy who spent the last week reminding everyone he's not Bush, that's got to hurt.

2. McCain's age and mental health comes into question

[TheEuclideanOne]

3. Hopefully his supporters are going to say to themselves,

"What was I thinking? I can't possibly vote for him."

[godai]

4. It gets better and better each time I watch it n/t

[TheEuclideanOne]

6. Just tell them how patriotic they are and they may forget how senile you are.

It was funny to watch people not quite sure how to react.

8. wow, that's brilliant

[stark6935]

9. Eh... Jesus man.

Someone forget to feed the McCain today? Look at the younger folks in the front row... They are like wtf is he trying to say? So can we quote John McCain as saying "He couldn't agree more with the fact that western Pennsylvania folks are racists" now?

20. she looks bored

like she knows it's useless doing these things.

[Sodan]

10. Scary....and funny....eerie...and sad

[ClayZ]

11. He is two sandwiches short

of a picnic!

[scarface2004]

12. i couldn t agree..oops..disagree...agree to disagree?!?!?!

yeah you are a bunch of racist assholes..i m out!!!!

[manray11]

13. Poor guy is exhausted

Looks worn out and nothing left... Could a candidate actually concede before the vote on Nov 4th? he might as well...He needs a mighty long nap.

[democracy1st]

14. oh my he's loosing it....

[BrklynLiberal]

15. That is truly pathetic. How could anyone stay and listen to the rest of that BS after that?

[JoaquinD]

16. He's not just tired...he's old.

He's been sucking from the first debate and making such stupid gaffes. I won't be surprised if he says: "You know...I agree with those who say I'm desperate and that's why I went negative! Keep those ghosts with Obama's name on them hanging from those trees, my friends!"

Old fuck.

[agentS]

17. OK McCain, tell me how you really feel

about Western PA voters.

If they're racist, do you really want their votes?

[greyghost]

18. In all my years I've never seen a campaign like McSames.

[ecstatic]

19. I think the video title is way too kind. Should be: "McCain gets confused

while smearing Obama and patriot rep. Murtha"

[specialed]

21. Fruedian Slip?

LOL!!! The crowd had that "Whut?!" look on their faces.

[stlsaxman]

22. this HAS to go viral!

[daggahead]

23. Oops. I mean, what I meant to say is, uh, I'll be glad to pander to you ... n/t

[angstlessk]

24. I just gotta kick this back up to the front page!

[bobd0]

25. John must be off his Aricept again. :) K&R!

[Buck Power]

26. This is gold

What a tool.
