13. It's better for photoshopping purposes

:evilgrin:

[Bozita]

19. Photoshopping that pic would be like mustaching the Mona Lisa

[union_maid]

8. With Feelings

I mean, I've envisioned such a campaign ad - should McCain be the candidate - for some time. A montage of Bush humping photos with Feelings playing in the background. Kinda makes you mist up, doesn't it?

[elocs]

9. That's the one. Make sure it is shown over and over and over. n/t

[Crunchy Frog]

10. This is another good one.

[Jim Warren]

14. Sweet

Boy, being president looks like a lotta fun!

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Especially when a major city is being devastated by a hurricane.

What a time to party!!!

[Cha]

23. While New Orleans drowns..they

[tblue37]

25. ESPECIALLY since this one took place while

New Orleans drowned.

12. McCain will never ever be POTUS...too dumb and too smarmy

[TexasLawyer]

16. And please also consider the future campaign literature

There's a lot to say about huggie-boy.

17. How to make LOVE to a duck.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. YUP...that's the pic that will ruin his presidential run.

DUMB ASS. See what happens when you sell your soul to the devil? It comes back and bites you in the ass.

KARMA.

[brettdale]

20. THATS THE ONE PIC

That will cost him becoming president.

[txindy]

22. McCain may run for president, but he'll never run far enough or fast enough to escape that picture.

No way, no how.

[Raffi Ella]

24. oh yeah,That's the one.

McCain disgusts me on a level not many do...We need to keep this shot of him handy over the next 2 years.

[Forrest Greene]

26. The Creepiest Part

...is the way St McCain's eyes are closed, & that dreamy smile on his face. He's really nuzzlin' in to that shoulder, there. And grabbin' him some soft tissue with that right hand, too. Most public hugs are done with the hands up somewhere safe, like the upper back, or arm. Yike.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. Almost looks like he's trying to breastfeed off of *. n/t

[Morgana LaFey]

31. Because of injuries acquired while a POW

he can't lift his arms very high.

That said, it's a creepy, slimy photo. O.M.G., I can't even believe it.

[Forrest Greene]

33. I Didn't Know That

...& wouldn't have brought it up for poking fun at if I had. Not because of his POW history, which so many seem to think is an instant qualification for the presidency, but simply because of the disability. Thanks for letting me know.

I still don't like him any, though.

[Morgana LaFey]

34. I know you wouldn't have

and I don't like him none either. :D

[RobertSeattle]

27. See - Bush does have a MANdate!

30. There's a far worse photo; I vaguely remember it...

I've combed the internets, though, and damn if it seems to have vanished. I can't imagine why... :sarcasm:

But it is an innocent vacation picture that symbolizes McCain's Achilles heel and carries the reminder of the scandal that threatened his political career.

In the picture, which was taken in the Bahamas, McCain is seated on a bandstand while wearing an outrageous, straw party hat. Next to him on the dais, a bottle tipped to his lips, sits Charles Keating III, son of developer Charles H Keating Jr.

32. And that reminds me... does anybody else remember

seeing the photo of (perhaps) a paper-machier representation of the McCain/Pretzel photo? I seem to recall that some McCain protesters had the inspired idea of following him everywhere he went with the thing. In the pic I remember, the good Senator was reacting to the unpleasant reminder and had a very angry look on his face. Anyone? I can't find it.
