Charles Gibbson to interview John McCain?
Must remember to remind my wife the sound she hears is not cable company static but a Huge Sucking Noise.

“Pictures show Železný Brod school head slapping student”
That’s the headline…WTF? Walnuts! should run in the Czech Republic then!

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 8:59 am

A lot was lost in translation. 1492 wasn’t how many votes McCain received, it’s the year he was born.

TJBeck June 6, 2008 at 9:01 am

To declare John McCain winner of this poll is totally bullshit.

Ron Paul was not included.

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:02 am

And where are the results from Balenzlovakia? Because, in a true democracy, you have to have Czechs and Balenzes.

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:03 am

McCain may have the Czechs, but Obama’s got the cash.

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:03 am

or: McCain is writing Czechs his ass can’t cash!

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:05 am

or: My campaing fund can’t be broke! I still have Czechs left!

Domestic Goddess June 6, 2008 at 9:05 am

Or better yet, that’s a lot of Czechs for McCain to cash.

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:06 am

Okay, I’ll stop now.

Domestic Goddess June 6, 2008 at 9:06 am

@Domestic Goddess: I don’t mean better as in superior. I meant to say Or, even still,

I need to go add Bailey’s to my coffee.

Godless Liberal * June 6, 2008 at 9:07 am

[re=8958]Humble Pi[/re]: He was actually born long before that. 1492 is the year he was discovered.

Domestic Goddess June 6, 2008 at 9:08 am

Bets on how long until Hillz declares herself president of all Czechs?

TJBeck June 6, 2008 at 9:12 am

[re=8964]Humble Pi[/re]: Czech that shit.

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:13 am

[re=8969]Godless Liberal *[/re]: That was when Columbus stuck a maple walking stick up Juan’s ass and called it Macaroni? Yeah, I slept through History class…

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:16 am

[re=8972]TJBeck[/re]: Sorry, just doing a sound Czech. Czech, Czech, 1…2…3…

disgustedcitizen June 6, 2008 at 9:20 am

[re=8960]Humble Pi[/re]: Ewwwww! That was a good one!

qwerty42 June 6, 2008 at 9:26 am

Oddly-worded: “Who are you voting for?” not “which candidate do you favor?” oh well, it is a great place, and yes, they have good beer. very good beer.

DUDES! We should like totally backpack around the Czech Republic and like drink beer and stay in hostels and shit! I hear the beer is like 50 cents a pint there!

Sure, Prague, but who won the poll in Yerevan?

choinski June 6, 2008 at 9:35 am

Meanwhile 2/3 of Czechs didn’t vote for him.

stankfest June 6, 2008 at 9:35 am

Isn’t Checkoslovakia where those Hostel screaming-girls-chop-up documentary films were made?

TGY June 6, 2008 at 9:36 am

Ah, well. The Czech Republic does have a lot of landmarks which are as old as John McCain. Must be ‘Old Europe’ who’s voting for him.

WadISay June 6, 2008 at 9:36 am

I trust that, as a reciprocal gesture, I will get asked who I plan to vote for in the next Czech general election.

masterdebater June 6, 2008 at 9:37 am

[re=8986]choinski[/re]: And Hillary is STILL winning the popular vote!

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 9:37 am

[re=8983]TJBeck[/re]: Finally, something McCain doesn’t mirror dubya on. Juan is too old to give up golf for Iraq.

AfghanVet June 6, 2008 at 9:38 am

Personally, I like the frosting on the outside.

scotterl June 6, 2008 at 9:40 am

Are those polls anatomically correct?

MathewBrooks June 6, 2008 at 9:43 am

[re=8990]WadISay[/re]: Will you support the Česká strana sociálně demokratická candidate or the Občanská demokratická strana candidate?

Paultardville June 6, 2008 at 9:54 am

Czech Republic is a caucus state, doesn’t count. Plus, it’s the one place in the world where Hillary wasn’t born.

gurukalehuru June 6, 2008 at 10:10 am

Can John McCain say strč prst skrz krk three times fast while drunk? Thought not.

WadISay June 6, 2008 at 10:14 am

[re=9001]MathewBrooks[/re]: The one with the old, bitter babushkas.

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 6, 2008 at 10:22 am

What’s up with the “Rodham”? Are there other Hillary Clintons running for president, so we need it to keep them straight?

Servo June 6, 2008 at 10:28 am

Czechs have a propensity for ass-kickin’. If Obama wielded his new maple Cane-O-Pain like a hockey stick, those numbers would weigh in his favor.

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 10:44 am

[re=9032]Servo[/re]: High sticking or body Czeching?

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Humble Pi June 6, 2008 at 10:47 am

[re=9020]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Apparently, the Rodham’s have a huge following in the Republic. Unfortunately, it still didn’t skew the results enough in her favor. Next time they’ll have to add Obama’s middle name.

AngryBlakGuy June 6, 2008 at 10:48 am

…congratulations WALNUTS! you have just won the presidency of the most IRRELEVANT country in the world!

Botswana Meat Commission FC June 6, 2008 at 11:08 am

[re=9047]AngryBlakGuy[/re]:
they did kick our asses in the last World Cup…

nyhfrog June 6, 2008 at 11:15 am

Well, we have our answer to that scene from “Stripes”: It’s definitely not like going into Wisconsin.

Servo June 6, 2008 at 11:29 am

[re=9073]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: Being the D-Day anniversary, let’s also not forget the Poles and Czechs in British Spitfires that shot down countless Nazi aircraft.

AngryBlakGuy June 6, 2008 at 1:47 pm

[re=9073]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: …who didn’t kick our asses in the last world cup?

[re=9103]Servo[/re]: …fine, fine, fine we will give them a few electoral votes in the general election to show our appreciation.

wonk_the_heck June 6, 2008 at 2:20 pm

i prefer to see the glass 2490/1492ths full

wonk_the_heck June 6, 2008 at 2:23 pm

the above ratio assumes 2490, carry the bitters. math is hard

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 6, 2008 at 2:25 pm

Finally, Cyndi McCain’s beer distributorship connections pay off.

ReelectTilden June 6, 2008 at 2:26 pm

McCain better Czech himself before he wrecks himself.

NebraskashireGentry June 6, 2008 at 3:51 pm

I’m less surprised that John McCain leads in this poll than by the fact that 4,000 people in the Czech Republic have Internet access (I’m assuming 18 people didn’t weigh in because they have yet to discover that one can use the Internet to access things other than man-on-bear porn from the former Soviet Union).
