Here is John McCain lamenting the Information Age in typical hilarious old-man fashion. First there are “the cables,” and then talk radio, and of course bloggers, whom he hates. Finally, something we can all agree on. [YouTube via BuzzFeed]

How cute. He included bloggers in a list of sources of information.

nbawriter July 7, 2008 at 10:25 am

That’s n-n-not the bl-bl-bloggering we c-c-can believe in!

Larry Fine July 7, 2008 at 10:26 am

The bloggers keep bringing up the nasty word he called his wife.

Look, I’m sorry to have to do this, but I’m the first one here so I feel some responsibility…

but those “cables” he’s talking about…he means “tubes,” right?

[re=30189]Crow T. Robot[/re]: I think you mean vacuum tubes. These are a very useful invention that have reduced the size of mechanical computers from 4 warehouses to 1 warehouse. These are a very important sector of our future economy and if you visit Silicon Valley there are at least 2 or 3 firms investing in this great potential.

Don’t worry John, the feeling is mutual.

Let’s bomb bomb bomb bomb the blogs.

No, Walnuts was referring to actual telegraph cables. He’s always preferred the Pony Express.

John McCain’s sources of information: cables, talk radio, bloggers (HATE EM). This is why we will bomb Iran forever.

Darehead July 7, 2008 at 10:43 am

McCain was just thinking the axiom, “you can create voters in your own image by making the voters hate all the same people you do.”
But wait….! No one heard that story…. except from the little blog-cabins where we were all born!

Ever since the TELEGRAPH came out, Johnny Mac’s not been too enarmored of technology.

Truculent July 7, 2008 at 10:44 am

Damn series of tubes get all tangled up in the living room and he can never find his TV Guide. Don’t those bloggers have jobs or something else to do?

ManchuCandidate July 7, 2008 at 10:44 am

B Loggers?

Blowggers?

Loggers?

Poor geezer probably spent hours trying to figure out how to pronounce it.

DCBulloch July 7, 2008 at 10:46 am

He would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those damn meddling bloggers and their dog (Googler) always snooping around on the internets.

Darehead July 7, 2008 at 10:49 am

[re=30207]ManchuCandidate[/re]: He was a little blogged down.

MrAgro July 7, 2008 at 10:52 am

Denigrating new media while endearing yourself to old media in one sentence. Johnny, you clever cunt you!

Servo July 7, 2008 at 10:56 am

His political ambitions are being smashed by a nation of typing “Hanoi Hannahs”.

TGY July 7, 2008 at 10:57 am

Gosh, I didn’t think he was even aware of the internet. One day he shall wake up and demand that the internet gets off his lawn.

shortsshortsshorts July 7, 2008 at 10:59 am

WALNUTS denounces and rejects teh internetz traditionz.

NoWireHangers July 7, 2008 at 11:02 am

Darn tootin’, WALNUTS! You never got no sass-back from the telegraph.

CrunchyKnee July 7, 2008 at 11:02 am

Ahhhh, Johnny, remembering the good old days when he and his bud Jesse Helms cabled each other about them dang cunts and them uppity nigras in relative privacy.

nbawriter July 7, 2008 at 11:04 am

Stoopid “bloggers” with their “information.” Why couldn’t they just post blank pages, or pictures of Ann Coulter’s penis? But nooooo …

shortsshortsshorts July 7, 2008 at 11:05 am

John McCain is aware of the Pony Express.

mephistopheles jefferson July 7, 2008 at 11:05 am

He forgot the pamphleteers. I hate Thomas Paine!

bmannes July 7, 2008 at 11:06 am

I was watching the cables last night…and they have housewives selling marijuana cigarettes!

WadISay July 7, 2008 at 11:09 am

My Gawd, this underscores for me how powerfully effective McCain is in these town hall forums.

RuperttheBear July 7, 2008 at 11:12 am

[re=30233]mephistopheles jefferson[/re]: Teh town crier . . . he’s sleeping with my wife, Goody Brown (sobbing in my tankard).

Darehead July 7, 2008 at 11:13 am

[re=30235]WadISay[/re]: Long as there ain’t no teleprompter.

mephistopheles jefferson July 7, 2008 at 11:17 am

[re=30244]RuperttheBear[/re]: Goody Brown…that c*nt.

[re=30234]bmannes[/re]: It can only be a matter of hours now before WALNUTS! announces the The Cables do not speak for his campaign, and he does not endorse their position on drugs, blah blah blah …

graceless July 7, 2008 at 11:24 am

Hey WALNUTS! We hate you back.

ForeignSickSpecialist July 7, 2008 at 11:25 am

He prefers papyrus scrolls written with Kemetic monk blood.

sleepy July 7, 2008 at 11:25 am

nbawriter July 7, 2008 at 11:27 am

John McCain is for cutting cable. But only when he wears his Depends.

MoodProcessor July 7, 2008 at 11:28 am

[re=30221]Servo[/re]: I prefer Typhoid Murray.

benjamin80 July 7, 2008 at 11:36 am

Yup – talk radio hates McCain! Because it’s so liberal!

columnv July 7, 2008 at 12:07 pm

Who put slippers in the dishwasher? Who threw a cane at the TV? Who fell into the china hutch?

I HATE the slippers! HATE the dishwasher! HATE the china hutch!

teebob2000 July 7, 2008 at 12:33 pm

“Goddamn bloggers, get your cables off my lawn!!”
