WASHINGTON (AFP) — Republican presidential hopeful John McCain Monday warned that plans by his Democratic rivals to withdraw from Iraq were “reckless” as the US general running the war prepared to testify to Congress.
Oh yes. Gosh darn those Dems. So reckless! Says the crotchety old git with the serious anger-management problem…
The doddering fool who “mis-speaks” on a daily basis regarding Iraq, the economy, health care, lobbyists, what-have-you…
The out of control rage-aholic who lashed out at (trophy wife and heiress) Cindy during the 1992 Senate campaign, calling her a “cunt” and a “trollop” in front of reporters when she had the gall to play with his hair and say he was getting “a little thin on top”…
Oh my, yes. Compared to those reckless Dems, THIS guy’s abso-frickin’-lutely presidential.

The presumptive Republican nominee then added:
You goddamn kids, get off my lawn! And where’s my onion belt, goddammit! Grrrr…
*Tild sez: About the picture –if it fit for Gonzo, it sure as hell fits for McCaintankerous.
Easter weekend is not going well. Today is Day 3 of the horrible, terrible, no good, very bad Cold that has now set up shop in my throat and lungs after spending a couple of days camped out in my sinuses. I can’t speak above a whispery croak; I’m running a 101 fever and I’ve been mainlining guafenesin for the past 24 hours. In short: we have NOT been entertained. Not bloody much, anyhow.
Thankfully, things began to perk up a little today. The way the three major GOP presidential candidates have been falling over themselves and each other in what is apparently a contest to see who can be the most idiotic, maybe they oughta get their own game show on TV. Hmmmm. If they did, I think it might go something like this….
Hello, GOP candidates! Your question today is: If it were your responsibility and yours alone to lift the spirits of a tired, humorless and dejected nation by saying things of a comical nature, what would you decide to say?
GOP Candidate Number One?
“I’m not a big-game hunter. I’ve made that very clear,†he said. “I’ve always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will. I began when I was 15 or so and I have hunted those kinds of varmints since then. More than two times.â€
Ha. Very funny, indeed.
GOP Candidate Number Two?
“Of course I am going to misspeak and I’ve done it on numerous occasions and I probably will do it in the future,†says McCain.
“I regret that when I divert attention to something I said from my message, but you know, that’s just life,†he tells Pelley, adding “I’m happy, frankly, with the way I operate, otherwise it would be a lot less fun.â€
Wow! You are one fun, funny guy, Senator. Who’da thunk it?
And last but not least, GOP Candidate Number Three?
Hoo hoo! Boy, that‘ll be hard to top, Mayor McG! You got us rolling in the aisles now.
Well it’s certainly going to be a difficult decision, choosing the most ludicrous performance out of these three dillies…
..But wait! What’s this? What’s he doing here? He’s not running for anything. This is highly irregular.
Oh. Well. I see. Yes, yes, this actually does trump everything we’ve seen and heard so far. No doubt about it. Yes, folks, we have a wild card entry. And the winner is, indisputably: Bill O’Reilly!
