Stolen from Sheldon. It’s EXCELLENT.

I especially liked the part about evolution, the trinity/muslim connection, and “speak delusions to power”

The McCain campaign is cratering. The absurdity (and hilarity) has been turned up to 11. A synopsis I’ve been working on:

• They call Obama elitist … then drop $150k at Neiman Marcus to put lipstick on their pig.
• They call out Obama on Fannie/Freddie … then it’s revealed that their campaign manager was getting money to lobby for Fannie as late as a month or 2 ago.
• They call Obama naive in foreign policy … then Colin Powell endorses him.
• They call Obama a socialist … then McCain votes for the bailout.
• They pick Sarah Palin for her all-Americanness… then she can’t answer a single question of substance and Tina Fey destroys her.
• They highlight Joe the Plumber as a small businessman to be hurt by taxes … then it turns out he’s a broke-ass contractor with no license, no business, no prospects and a tax lien on his house.
• They dismiss the idea that they don’t stand for any race-baiting/dirty politics … then this Backwards B race-baiting hoax is uncovered in Pittsburgh - where they gave facts to TV stations that the Police Dept didn’t verify
• They trot out Palin to discuss funding for special needs children where she derides an earmark for fruit fly research … the same research which helped reveal a genetic link to AUTISM

OOOOOHHHH - so close.

Are you kidding me? And now this … I think this is the capstone on the campaign. Or rather the tombstone.

John McCain’s brother’s angry 911 call: a short family fuse | The Dish Rag | Los Angeles Times

Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s brother, Joe McCain, called 911 in Alexandria, Va., to complain about traffic earlier this week. And when they told him that 911 was only for emergencies, he used an expletive to the operator and hung up.

Wow. And they say John McCain is a hot head. Maybe short fuses run in the McCain family.

Here’s a snippet of the transcript:

Operator: Alexandria 911, state your emergency

Caller: Well, it’s not an emergency but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95 traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic’s coming the other way across the drawbridge?

Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic? (pause)

Caller: “[Expletive]” (caller hangs up)

The operator called the caller back and received this message: “Hi this is Joe McCain I can’t take this message now because I’m involved in a very (inaudible) important political project… I hope on Nov. 4th we have elected John.”

The operator then called the number back and left a message for Joe about how it is illegal to use a 911 number for anything other than emergencies.

Here’s the best part: An outraged Joe called the operator back to complain about being read the riot act about calling 911 and got read the riot act again.

Anyway, it’s priceless. Watch the video call and see if you don’t think that Joe even sounds a lot like John.

Scary!

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Good Night, Schweethart.
