MSNBC in full spinout mode

[Subdivisions]

"This is a speech John McCain could have made..."

[SeattleGirl]

1. Yeah,, right.

In your dreams, talking head.

[CatWoman]

2. unfortunately, John is eating bratwurst

and washing it down with snapps :rofl;

[Corgigal]

3. but no one would have shown up

Dilemma.

[Connie_Corleone]

4. You're kidding? LOL!!

McCain wishes he could give a speech like that! He wishes he could get that many people to listen to his rubbish.

[elehhhhna]

43. He wanted to give it on the German/Czechoslovakian border.

[malaise]

5. He could not deliver this

and his audience would have been town hall size.

[graywarrior]

6. If only he was Obama

[Lex]

10. exactly!

the crowd adores him (and not McCain)

[Subdivisions]

14. Did you notice how the camera shots from behind Obama

never panned toward the Gate and stayed in tight on the crowd? There were hundreds of thousands and all they showed is a shot that took in only a few hundred.

[a kennedy]

25. Yeah I noticed that too.....

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Mme. Defarge]

55. Moi aussi!

Merde!

[XemaSab]

45. OMG!

I *so* want that button on the right! :rofl:

[alfredo]

47. Start checking eBay

[blue52power]

50. I so want

That Deutschland girl in the upper center, she is a hottie.

Unbelievable crowd. The Europeans want Obama.

[Beaverhausen]

7. who said that?

[Subdivisions]

16. I believe it was Chuck Todd and it was definately repeated

by Andrea Mitchell.

[Tesha]

24. Per another thread, Andrea Mitchell said that. (NT)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

39. And Andrea Mitchell came on an hour later and repeated it

stating again that it was a speech McCain could have made. I'm not sure exactly what she was implying, perhaps that it was non-controversial, but since when is McCain the standard of reasonableness and patriotism? She prefaced her remarks by describing the speech as "lofty rhetoric". And even if she didn't actually mean that John McCain could have delivered it with the same elan, her way of putting it had me rolling on the floor.

[Avalux]

8. Who said that?? Which idiot is trying to make that laughable comparison?

Right now, John McCain, his campaign staff and the entire GOP are shitting their collective pants.

[tridim]

22. Todd and Mitchell, today's Worst Persons In The World.

I can't think of a more insanely idiotic comment than these two made.

[EFerrari]

37. One of their minor bimbos apologized for not knowing

that a pilot could steer a ship as wells as fly a plane.

Where the hell does she think they got the term "pilot"? :crazy:

[annabanana]

9. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(BEST LAUGH OF THE DAY)

[jtrockville]

11. Heh, IF McCain somehow became articulate AND

he somehow learned the historical background necessary to have given the speech. But yeah, he could have. And pigs could fly too, if they had wings and became aerodynamic.

[elehhhhna]

12. Does MSNBC stand for Mystery Science Nonsense Bull**** Club?

[JDPriestly]

13. How many times would John McCain have giggled during that speech?

John McCain lacks the sense of humility and humanity that Obama has.

[Supersedeas]

15. was it the female Joker....Andrea Mitchell?

[Subdivisions]

17. She repeated it. I think Chuck Todd was the one who initially said it. n/t

[malaise]

19. John Kerry on now

historic - unbelievably exciting for the grassroots movement in America.

[blm]

27. Connected it all, gas prices-climate change-national security. THIS time Americans are listening

and not buying the attacks against Europe that Bush and media were selling after 9-11 and Iraq invasion.

[anonymous171]

20. Chuck Todd has a crush on McCain.

[Blue_Tires]

18. I "could" be MVP of the World Series!

LOL at that!

[EFerrari]

21. John Kerry hits a grand slam.

What a great surrogate he is.

[malaise]

23. That was brilliant n/t

[tularetom]

26. Except he would have had to stop to pee 2 or 3 times before he finished

[Frances]

30. Thanks for the laugh

And I'm laughing at myself because I'm no spring chicken.

I keep thinking of John Kennedy's speech about passing the torch to a younger generation. That's what is happening with Obama. I am not young, but I will do all I can to make Obama's dream--the American dream--stay alive.

This is what Martin Luther King sacrificed his life for.

[underseasurveyor]

28. John McSame couldn't come close

to making a speech like that if he practiced every single day for 100 years.

[malaise]

32. My pix of the day

Love the symbolism

[underseasurveyor]

33. Makes the heart soar and the eyes well with grateful tears

It's so great to feel my head rising with pride again after so many years of let downs, disappointments and embarrassment.

Thanks for posting the picture

[malaise]

34. I'd love to make it my avatar

It's a beautiful pix

[underseasurveyor]

35. Reduce it a bit

and use it in your sig line. It'll show up better than in a tiny avatar box anyway.

[malaise]

40. Good idea

Thanks

[Skittles]

53. notice how Obama manages not to look like a f***ing twit

imagine the shrub in this pic :o

[lebkuchen]

29. McCain is welcome to make his own speech in Berlin

Let's see how many show up.

[0rganism]

36. in a couple weeks, they'll probably try to say he DID

"Remember the huge crowds McCain was getting in Germany back in July? They LOVE him over there!"

[malaise]

38. Andrea the hack just repeated that to Schuster

she added in her most sarcastic tone that police said the numbers were 200,000 and that the Obama camp didn't waste time to spread that around.
The hack added that Rethugs will try to attack his point that the US hasn't been perfect. Hahahahahahaaa

Fuck you Andrea Mitchell.

[Vanje]

41. McCain was busy at the time.

.....trying to flag down a waiter .....at a supermarket in Pennsylvania.



"Waiter! Check please! I've got to finish this photo op. Its time for my nap."

[elehhhhna]

Then why didn't he?

[Uncle Joe]

54. Because he couldn't and he didn't and the corporate media is full of poo poo. n/t

[elehhhhna]

42. Then why didn't he?

[Withywindle]

44. McCain's version

(dramatization)

[DrZeeLit]

46. One word: Czechoslovakia.

[onethatcares]

48. hell, this is a speech the dimwit could have made, but

he's too fucking hated to get out in front of that many people, and of course there were all those multi-syllable words to memorize too.

[uppityperson]

49. What, is Obama speaking again?

[GreenPartyVoter]

51. More product placement. Pretty soon confused viewers will be thinking he _did_ make that speech

[guitar man]

52. yeah, right

even if 200,000 did gather to see him, they would have been disappointed with "hey you damn kids, get off my lawn!!"

:rofl:
