MCCAIN VOLUNTEER CALLS MCCAIN A SLAVEDRIVER: This video at CNN is pretty funny, and we’d embed it here if stupid CNN actually had that feature. Now you will have to make an extra click, suckaz. It’s John McCain taking a question from one of his volunteers, a (satirical?) New Yorker who starts gently and proceeds to curse at him for the way he treats his volunteers (like shit). McCain, naturally, interrupts her with several “wisecracks” to lighten the mood. This is his only half-decent political skill, and it fails miserably here, ha ha. [CNN]

McCain is pro-slave!

uncletravelingmatt July 22, 2008 at 6:12 pm

McCain volunteers are biased toward Obama!

At least they allow permalinking to videos now (even if it’s hard to find the URL). It used to be impossible even to do that.

They never show her face, so I’m assuming it’s Roberta.

itgetter July 22, 2008 at 6:26 pm

Awww, that’s sweet. Harriet Christian has officially joined John McCain’s campaign.

[re=41674]Rev. Peter Lemonjello[/re]: Good guess, but I didn’t hear the sound of her crutches. I was thinking it had to be Harriet Christian. I was waiting for her to call him adequate.

As thanks, McCrone stop-lossed her and she’s now working 18 hours a day putting up signs in DC.

Does CNN Video also lack the “play” feature?

Baconcat July 22, 2008 at 6:34 pm

She went on to say ‘We caaan’t put postahs up in haaavaaaard yaaaard because we caaaan’t afford gayas in our caaaaars.’

Canuckledragger July 22, 2008 at 6:35 pm

WALNUTS! takes the epithet “slave driver” somewhat personally, since he’s the only candidate who once actually DID own slaves.

The Arizona moat wasn’t to keep Messicans OUT, but to keep the indentured Negroes IN.

Work release program? As in “convicts” running the Str8 Tlk Xpres?!!
I *knew* Walnuts! wouldn’t hire just any ordinary people to drive his bus, put up his yard signs, film him, feed him or wash his feet…..

42 seconds in: “Dead yet? Nope? Coulda sworn…bzzzzzzzzz….”

irisheyes July 22, 2008 at 7:31 pm

ohmygod. I thought the picture on the story was photoshopped. But no- McWeasel was really standing there like that! That intimidating pose certainly passes my Commander in Chief Test!

loquaciousmusic July 22, 2008 at 7:41 pm

McCain volunteer calls McCain a “slavedriver”; McCain calls Obama a “slave.” Tit for tat, kids.

chitownlib July 22, 2008 at 7:47 pm

Oh my God! Did no one notice that huge fly land on his head at 0:39?! He didn’t even flinch!

Squiggyfm July 22, 2008 at 8:04 pm

McCain is the only sitting senator to vote against the 14th Amendment.

The more you know.

“John, a fly just landed on your forehead?”
“Are you calling me a turd?!”
“What?.. no!… no, no, no. But John, you can’t fool a fly.”

That was no fly, that was a vulture.

mookworthjwilson July 22, 2008 at 8:29 pm

I half expected her to blurt out “the only reason we are working for you is to make sure that no mooly becomes president, other than that, you’re a piece of shit.”

masterdebater July 22, 2008 at 9:00 pm

Campaign volunteer: What’s wit workin us like slaves, ya piece uh shit ya?
Mc Cain, Shut up…cunt!

I like how he rubbed his hand with his other hand, like a cripple vampire, or something.

itgetter July 22, 2008 at 9:17 pm

[re=41770]columnv[/re]: That is an insult to crippled vampires everywhere, sir (madame?)

Cape Clod July 22, 2008 at 10:20 pm

Yeah, McCain definitely is better in those ‘Town Hall’ type settings.
And he’s right about the media being biased. America doesn’t want to see Obama raining treys in front of cheering troops in Iraq. America wants to see John McCain being lectured by a scratch ticket addict in some low rent Portuguese/American Club while he tries to compress himself into a gravitational singularity.

shortsshortsshorts July 22, 2008 at 10:41 pm

The annoyance of WALNUTS was almost as funny as his satisfaction with her statement of support. That was pretty damn funny.

TheRealJimbo July 23, 2008 at 12:58 am

Ken Layne = paid staff.
Us = Volunteers.

Nick Denton, there needs to be some changes around here.

shortsshortsshorts July 23, 2008 at 1:04 am

[re=41853]TheRealJimbo[/re]: No no no..

Nick Denton: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Wonkette: Paid volunteers.

Commenters: Evil slaves called from Satan to deceive us away from Jeebus.

Carrie_Okie July 23, 2008 at 8:32 am

Damn, I watched that whole thing waiting for Walnuts to tell her she was DRAFTED.

graceless July 23, 2008 at 8:40 am

What is with these old women publicly cursing at John McCain? They don’t curse at any of the others, just him.

Elitist Republican Tard July 23, 2008 at 9:13 am

Wow, I’m glad she’s a McCain volunteer. What an asshole. Demanding credit for little stuff putting up signs? Expecting people to be paid for doing any work for the campaign? I bet she’s never made even one phone call or knocked on one door. I mean, you’re a volunteer. You do the work because you believe in the campaign, and you help out for free so they can spend money elsewhere, like advertising. STFU. You get to talk to the candidate one on one, and you spend the entire time talking at him about how you’re not getting credit for shit. Local volunteers like that hurt campaigns more than they help.

/end rant

[re=41772]itgetter[/re]: androgynous.

Deepthroat July 23, 2008 at 11:16 am

SO, does McCain now have Parkinson’s too? Anyone else disturbed by the amount of head shaking going on there??? Also, at one point he switched his grip on the mic and i thought a mic whip was eminent.

walnuts love child July 23, 2008 at 8:07 pm

My daddy ain’t no slavedriver!!
