Smooth McCain, real smooth. Almost as smooth as those wet starts you’re so well known for……

In some way, his unmitigated ability to lie could be considered admirable. Or at least – remarkable.

…Senator Walnuts…
……….IS……….
SASQUATCH ISRAEL!!1!1

Oy Vey! What a putz doesn’t begin to cover the territory, but it’s a start.

Next question: When is Walnuts going to K Street full time retire? Inquiring minds need to know.

You know, I think the public is sick of this guy’s schtick, just as they’re tired of the NRA, Grover Norquist, the Republican House, and the whining of the rich. I predict that after the Susan Rice nonsense, old McCain and his ‘views’ will be less welcome on Sunday gab fests because a lot of people like me will be protesting his appearance. Pretty soon nobody is going to ask for his opinion because he is getting to be a parody of himself. I can only hope, anyway.

“Chump,” comes to mind.

hagel has been making the rounds on some other sites for the past few days. there is campaign against him. some foreign country that cant be named finds him unacceptable.

‘Bloody’ Kristol is on the job…! 8-(

Grampy McPain is going the way of Ronnie Raygun. Alzheimer’s disease, coupled with having a small pecker and in need of shoe lifts, sounds like a classic case of ” Session’s Disease. ” This newly discovered illness has been thoroughly vetted at the Southern White Male Disease Control Center. It’s real, it’s contagious, but unless you all have a remedy, it’s fatal. Sorry, John; your tickets been punched. But, it’s spreading northward, as well. Bill O’Reilly, Shawn Hannitty and Glenn Beck are infected, it is rumored. Beyond all disbelief, there are a lot of short peckered Jewish males, as well. (Joe, it’s time to come clean). Of course, this is mitigated, somewhat by the JMI( Jewish Measuring Index ) which studies the asshole and measures forward, from there.(Joe, again, it’s time to come clean). The NSI(Negotiated Settlement Index) has somewhat different findings. But they agree on most of the JMI findings. Sorry, Joe, John and Jeff.

Israel lobby is the correct term. ‘Course I guess most of AIPACs money comes from American Jews. I don’t see anything wrong with the idea, but they do seem to react rather vociferously to any suggestion that Bibi may be a conquistador.

Ooooo! Ooooo! I know this one!!

And you know what, there’s another group people should be over with. Stop the fear. Fuck ‘em and fuck their money. I’m not an Israeli, I’m an American and as far as I know, American Representatives are elected by other Americans. Sounds naive, I know, but this shit has got to stop. Stop the fear! Now, let’s hear Bloomberg say AIPAC isn’t running this country, either.

McCain is so happy in his ignorance. He smiles as if he is a real human being but there’s no there there.

damn. this all started when McCain’s breakfast spot closed. O! Katz’s Delicatessen! The best chopped liver in town, the best Reuben, the best kosher hot dog, GONE! No where to have an egg cream, not for 500 miles. I miss you, Katz’s Delicatessen. Also, Cel-Ray. And very lean corned beef.

Geez, when this guy lost to Obama he went into,some strange place. Those eyes tell it all. Stay away from him, you never know.

If somebody gave me $750,000 I think I would remember their name.

Jewish Male:” What’s you favorite whine? Jewish Female: ” I can’t believe we lost Florida three times in the 21st Century! “. Jewish Male :” I, I, I just think you’re confused about what I’m asking you. ” Jewish Female: ” I thought you were talking about the hurricanes. Besides, the gov’t always picks up the tab, right? ” Jewish Male:” Ya, it’s called a bargain. “

I apologize. I meant to include the definition of a bargain. ” Such an agreement where one of the parties thinks the price is very favorable. ” Wynota.

Does this mean that the reclusive Senator Walnuts McCain is going to emerge from hiding to yell at some clouds make an appearance on one of the stupefyingly idiotic vitally important Sunday horseshit fests talk shows?

1. McCain is an asshole.

2. Bibi is an asshole.

3. AIPAC is not a “Jewish” lobby. I feel strongly that Israel should exist, but I would never give AIPAC money.

Katz’s Deli is alive and serving
‘salami for your boy in the army’ here on Houston St.
as always. Like Mark Twain’s (the only thing the 2 have in common?)
reports of their death are greatly exaggerated..

I think that I’ll never see, a Jewish salami, such as thee (Bibi,baby). So full, so rotund, a JAP’s secret fanta(See Ben). A den of ease by Mailer; Oh, that’s old zen. We dare not go there, that’s totally spen(dog). A Jewish guy told me this, his name was Ben. Someone by the name of so and so, told me no way! no! It was 1957, don’t you know. He did it( Mailer, I mean ) with a rubber band; I was told. Ben lied? That (spen) fucker. Cut that m-fer off. How’s that zen for ya, m-fer? Kiss your own ass, for a taste change. It’s a spen’s life, after all.

Much as “John McCain is old and chose Caribou Barbie as his running mate” is original, hilarious and not at all ageist or sexist, McCain’s opposition to Hagel does not automatically mean that Republican Hagel is the best choice a Democratic President can make.

I guess discussing Hagel’s qualifications (or not) on the merits would be a cheap shot.

The WaPo0 Editorial Board is against Hagel now. Which is probably the best argument for Hagel as DoD that there is.

Thanks for that link. Adding to your point, out of the three links they provide at the end for suggested further reading, two go to Jennifer Rubin posts. I haven’t read those yet, but I would be surprised if they help WaPo’s cause in winning over rational folks.

So, when WAPO endorsed Obama for President, that made you oppose him?

Given the endorsements of Obummer by both Noam Chomsky and Cornel West, the only logical conclusion – besides conclusively proving their love of drones and killing foreigners – was that both are jockeying for position to be nominated as the next Secretary of Defense. So this isn’t in the bag for Hagel.
Exciting!

The years have not been kind to John.
We should not be either!

‘Get elected, get re-elected!’ Next best thing- ‘Get appointed!’. After that, ‘Go lobbying!’- it’s like an after-sex cigarette, only with a better payoff, but with worse stench.

Fuck these clowns. All of them.

Just out of curiosity, because I hear the “Israel has a right to exist” comment a lot, do you feel strongly that Iran has a right to exist, as well?

I’m not brooklyngirl,* but I suspect her objection is to the term “Jewish lobby”, as opposed to “Israel lobby” or “Likudnik lobby” or something like that. I’m not of the Tribe myself, but I get the impression that a lot of Jewish folks think the Iran sabre rattling by Bibi and his wackaloon chums is unproductive at best, and possibly insanely foolish.

As you probably know, much trickier turf for leftie pro-Israel Jews is how to reconcile their general political stance with very difficult components of the Palestinian issue, such as “right of return”. [Emily Hauser plays in that mine field on a regular basis.] But outside of the Jennifer Rubin contingent, I’ve never seen much evidence for widespread support among Jews for attacking Iran. [NOTE: I am not an expert on Jewish political opinion, just someone who reads about it on occasion.]

Hopefully she’ll show up here at some point at respond; that’ll obviously be the most authoritative response.

*If she’s the same bg that comments over at Atrios’ place, I seem to recall her addressing this matter back when I used to haunt that place.

You mis-spelled

… feast

When John McCain says he knows of no such Jewish lobby, I for one believe him. Just like when he said he joined the Keating Five because he thought it was a christian rock group.

Re: Katz’s closing.

GWPDA likely is referring to the other Katz’s deli, in Austin, TX.
Opened by one of the original Katz’s sons, it was not universally admired here with such fervor for it’s food and service.

Though you’d never learn it from the Wikipedia entry, the restaurant eventually imploded in a messy storm of inter-family bankruptcy filings, following bitter public lawsuits with the owner’s own son and accusations of drug abuse, employee mistreatment and familial treachery.

I suspect that GWPDA is referring to a third Katz, in Phoenix. According to that article, until it closed, it was in fact a favorite spot for Walnuts whenever he visited Phoenix (also GWPDA’s hometown).

For drama, though, that Austin Katz might be hard to beat – yikes!
