McCain Is Old; Don't Wake Him Up at 3AM
Posted by Frank J. at 11:05 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (22)

Until I saw the end, I thought this was a cheesy McCain ad:

Yeah, if there's a huge crisis, the one we want responding is a former first lady... especially if the crisis is there's not enough cookies for the bake sale!

Rating: 3.8/5 (2 votes cast)

This isn't a joke???

This is a joke... Right?

#2 - Posted by: Dick on February 29, 2008 12:11 PM

..well, the answer to who i want answering the phone is: FRED THOMPSON

an ad with innocent children and hillary in it tosses up my defense response even faster than anything i've heard or seen before on her. to me it was the same as a scary movie with children sleeping and the satanic bad guy calls up in the middle of the night and you freak not only for yourself but you must keep the children safe as well.

"Quick, Ms. Clinton. It's the President of France, he's having a hard time losing his election-- he needs your expertise!"

Not Her

You know, I don't get this 3 A.M crap. We're the US of freakin' A. We can kick anybody's ass. If Fred Thompson was elected, he'd just make Official America Time - whatever time it is in D.C., is the time in the rest of the world...and if that means its dark at noon in your stinking chunk of the world, well too bad!

He would also institute the 3 A.M foreign policy - whoever is responsible for Fred Thompson having to get up and answer the damn phone at 3 A.M. will get NUKED. No questions asked.

WHY do we keep taking crap from all these other countries? oh yeah, liberals.

#6 - Posted by: on February 29, 2008 12:58 PM

Man I'm so glad the ad informed me that "there's a phone in the White House." (I thought the President had to go down to the corner pay phone).

"There's something happening in the world." Gomer Pyle says, "Shaz-zam!"


I loved the low key lighting and eye glasses to enhance the mood of the situation. (Or was it just a feckless attempt at being "the sexy librarian" to attract male voters)?

#7 - Posted by: Rightjabs on February 29, 2008 01:39 PM

#7: For the love of all that is holy, the words "sexy librarian" should not be associated with the Hildabeast in any way shape or form.

I almost lost my lunch.

Sorry Brian, my sarcasm should have come with a gastrointestinal warning/parental advisory. :P


Since the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol has been proven to kill the bacterium that causes ulcers, two of the cherry flavored tabs should fix you right up. "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on IMAO."

The people on this blog will not have to worry what's going on at 3:00 AM. You will all be getting up at 4:00AM to start your 14 hour day in the Rice Paddy should either Clinton or Obama be elected Emperor of the UnUnited States of Socialist America!

#11 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on February 29, 2008 03:11 PM

It's 3 a.m. and the phone is ringing. The police have pulled over a drunk ex-president and his stripper mistress with the hip tattoo. Who do you want answering the phone?

#12 - Posted by: BadTude on February 29, 2008 03:28 PM

Seriously this woman is like the Wicked Witch of the West. "I'll get you and your little children (and dog) too." The fear mongering has got to stop. We NEED Ronald Reagan to come back from the dead to put a positive spin on this election.

How sad is that? We would find more hope and change in reality from a DEAD man, than we can from the bunch of losers still in the race.

BTW if you Ronulans and Husksterites think this doesn't apply to your pet megalomanic think again.

#13 - Posted by: seanmahair on February 29, 2008 03:34 PM

If a call comes in to the White House at 3am, I hope the switchboard is answering, not the President! Although if Hildebeast or Obamahammad wins, keeping them answering the phone all day might keep them from doing too much damage....

#14 - Posted by: Master Shake on February 29, 2008 04:16 PM

I really like how everyone is going out of their way to point out that 3 A.M is "in the morning"...apparently some people are unaware. Your education tax dollars at work.

#15 - Posted by: on March 1, 2008 02:05 PM

Well, I've been gone for two days but...

If Hillary answers the phone, there's a good chance it's just Chinese telemarketers anyway.

#16 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 1, 2008 11:26 PM

I'm sure you realize that in the real world these people never answer their own phones. They have people who do that kind of pedestrian, lowly, chore for them. So no matter who wins the White House if you call a 3 am the only person you're going to talk to is Fred the night watchman. He's a nice guy but has no power or authority.

Your coup will have to wait until the morning.

#17 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 2, 2008 12:09 AM

I'm chuckling. The problem with Fred, seanmahair, is that not only is he asleep at 03:00 but he's also snorning! He ain't gonna hear the phone.

#18 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 2, 2008 12:13 AM

Let's all phone the White House at 3:00 am (in the morning, that is) and find out who actually answers. Stop all this guessing...

#19 - Posted by: ss396 on March 2, 2008 08:42 AM

Ah yes, this ad.

Ann Althouse is parroting the idea that there is a hidden, subliminal racial slur in this spot. If you don't already know where it is, watch the ad again and try to find it. I'm wondering if anyone here can do it without having the instance pointed out explicitly.

#20 - Posted by: Patrick on March 2, 2008 08:53 AM

Batman

The Frank Miller version, not the Adam West version.

#21 - Posted by: Harvey on March 2, 2008 11:27 AM

On one of the local talk shows last night, they were discussing how the kid's pajamas contained a subtle bit of racist subliminal content.

The kid's pajamas are logo'ed with the words "GOOD NIGHT" but somehow, just by pure accident, I am sure, the letters N, I and G just happen to appear.

Hmmm.....

Bobby Big Byrd was / is a K-K-Klanner, maybe he helped with some suggestions to "The Hildabeast" to produce this ad ? ? ? ?
