Comment of the Day

Posted by on

From MarkoMancuso:

Wouldn’t McCain look a lot cooler if he talked in a pirate voice and carried a rusty cutlass around with him?
“And this be the cutlass that I, Maverick McCain, shall use if the foul harpy Michelle gets near me. Arggh!”
And no, I don’t know how I stumbled onto that train of thought.

I totally agree. That would be awesome. Plus, since Colonel Tigh has a patch eye, it’s easy to imagine what McCain would like as a pirate. I should remind him that Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming up in like a week, so it would be the perfect time for McCain to unveil his new image.
Line of the day goes to an Ace commenter Villiage Idiot (via the Puppy Blender):

I think they spent months trying to figure out how they can position Obama as better qualified than McCain, and basically came up with the fact that Obama can type.

Why can’t you guys be as clever as Ace’s commenters?

The latest Obama ad portrays McCain as being old and out of touch, even making fun of how he can’t send an e-mail. Jonah Goldberg looked it up, though, and the reason McCain can’t send an e-mail isn’t because he’s old or out of touch but is actually because McCain can’t use a keyboard because of beatings he received from the Vietcong.
Allahpundit found some anecdotes that suggest McCain can use a computer, but you have to wonder what gaggle of monkeys Obama has working for him to make attacks like this. If running a presidential campaign shows presidential experience, then if Obama becomes president he’ll be in a race for the bottom with Carter.

Bite-Sized Wisdom

  • For liberals all depressed that Palin is stealing all of Obama’s momentum, here’s a way to commit suicide… if you’re bad ass enough! (you’re not)
  • Our military needs more lasers. Not just lasers from planes and lasers from space, but also ground based lasers and hand held lasers. America’s enemies should always be in fear of getting shot by a laser and have no idea where it will come from.
  • Obama may be planning on getting more personal in his attacks on McCain because you know how well Obama will measure up to McCain character wise. Extremely vague policy talk may not be working out for you, Obama, but it’s all you’ve got; stick with it.
  • If Obama goes personal against Palin, she should just give him a wedgy and take his lunch money. What’s he going to do? Complain he was bullied by a girl. He’ll be laughed off the national stage.
  • Is Biden campaigning now? I mean, is he going city to city attracting groups of four or five people and talking up Obama. What was his purpose again?
  • What’s the point of cats? I guess they used to kill mice for people. We don’t have a mouse problem, so I asked my wife if I could take the cats and put them burlap sack and throw them in a bog. She said no.
  • It almost looks like McCain has saved the Republican Party and conservatives with his pick of Palin. For a while, it was looking like we’d have to have Democrats in charge before we could regain our momentum, but now we’re pumped and ready to kick ass. We might have to build a statue for McCain. Here’s my idea: Make it a extremely regal statue, and while your standing around in admiration it suddenly kicks you in nuts for no reason. That’s maverick action right there!
  • Of course, conservatives will always win in the end. We have to fight for this country as we just don’t have any other place to go. If liberals want to see their pansy-ass ideasl in action, they always have Europe, but America is the last bastion of freedom and conservative ideals, so if that all gets thrown to the wayside, the only option left is to put a flag on a floating platform out in the ocean and declare it “Frank J-istan.”
