Further proof that Our Media still conceives of Barack Obama as a 27-year-old NBA All Star. Oh man, look at the size of that boner on John McCain! Why won’t Walnuts show any nip action, however? TAKE IT OFF, TAKE IT OFF, SHOW YR NIPPLES. [Photo illustration by Andrew Eccles for New York Magazine]

Holy Mujahedeen! Terrorist Fist Jab Alert! So now they’ve gotten to McHero, too… a sad, sad day for America.

“Barry’s” limp wrist kind of says it all, really.

I am Lobster Maximus and I’m going to punk your St. Mark’s Camp, indie girl.

Oh. I feel shame. Though I’ve been bathing in the nude my whole life.

What’s the big deal NY? Go watch a bee.

Wine from Outer Space June 25, 2008 at 6:04 pm

Barry rockin’ the sixer! Also, I like to imagine that McCain is wearing the little tennis socks with the cute little puffballs on the heels.

El Bombastico June 25, 2008 at 6:04 pm

Seriously, my man is working some crunches. Of course, McCain cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for more than 75 seconds, or his entire head becomes a carcinoma pustule.

I see now that Sullivan has linked to the post on the poorly-punctuated Hillary e-mail, and my head just exploded a little bit.

sezme June 25, 2008 at 6:05 pm

“Photo Illustration?” Does that mean it never actually happened? True, McCain’s legs aren’t that nice plus he normally wears black old man socks up to his shins supported by garters, and even Hopey’s abs aren’t that washboardy.

Jim Newell June 25, 2008 at 6:06 pm

just in case it wasn’t clear enough, those are NOT their actual bodies…

tunamelt June 25, 2008 at 6:07 pm

McCain’s facial expressions are some of the least photogenic facial expressions in the history of the universe.

tunamelt June 25, 2008 at 6:09 pm

[re=24709]sezme[/re]: To be more accurate, it should have been black socks with sandals for McCain. I see him wearing that to the beach. Because he’s OLD!

By the way, kudos to New York magazine for using every font that came with their demo copy of Pagemaker.

NebraskashireGentry June 25, 2008 at 6:20 pm

I don’t think it’s responsible for a man in John McCain’s position (the position of a man with melanoma) to be out in the summer sun without a hat.

oh, nevermind, I now remember that he is a maverick.

Nice legs on fake McCain.

NoWireHangers June 25, 2008 at 6:21 pm

WALNUTS! better put on some sunscreen if he wants to last until November.

They’ve also got the legs all wrong. Barry’s aren’t that hairy and WALNUTS! have more veins.

RobertSeattle June 25, 2008 at 6:22 pm

McCain lost his nipples during an unfortunate accident involving a bronze scabbard in the Peloponnesian War.

GIJoeIce June 25, 2008 at 6:23 pm

Maybe McCain will share his secrets on how he maximizes his lobster.

[re=24736]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: The very first sentence: Barack Obama’s upcoming speech at the Democratic National Convention is—barring the miraculous reanimation of Winston Churchill’s corpse, sometime in mid-July, to recite the Sermon on the Mount in twelve different languages—pretty much a lock to be the rhetorical blockbuster event of the summer.

tunamelt June 25, 2008 at 6:44 pm

A century ago, Lim writes, presidential speeches were pitched at a college reading level; today, they’re down to eighth grade, and if the trend continues, next century’s State of the Union addresses will be conducted at the level of “a comic strip or a fifth-grade textbook.”

Isn’t the same thing supposedly true of newspapers? It’s kind of scary how Idiocracy isn’t so much a movie but a prediction of the future.

“Obama’s Impossible Speech: Maximizing your lobster.”

Well, on the one hand, I laud Obama for dreaming big. On the other hand, if the movies I’ve seen of the impossibly large spider attacks of the ’50s are any indication, impossibly large lobsters will only do harm to America.

obfuscator June 25, 2008 at 7:11 pm

I can’t believe that they used digitally removed the “Harvard Law Review 4 Life” tattoo from Barry’s abs, a la Sports Illustrated and Allen Iverson. What a load.

Johnny does have quite boner leaning to the left there. Big knob on top. Also, legs spread so his big juicy balls can hang down.

Mmmm. Delicious, just like real-life John McCain. I would lick him all over his body, even though I would inevitably get a lot of band aid in my mouth.

AngryBlakGuy June 25, 2008 at 9:21 pm

[re=24820]raymond[/re]: …since when does wealth trump social responsibility? Republicans always use this attack as if it is suppose to prove point. If someone starts life in poverty and manages to work their way into wealth(or even win the lotto for that matter) why is it so horrible that they speak of the injustices they experienced and witnessed? That being said what would be wrong with someone BORN INTO WEALTH discussing social inequality and injustices. Eleanor Roosevelt was a champion of black civil rights even though she was white and was afford ALL of the perks and advantages of her race stature. Using your rational she shouldn’t have been fighting the society that treated her so well. If you are a Republican HACK then none of what I say will matter, but if not then remember wealth comes and goes and everyone deserves a voice and that was what George Carlin was!
