How dare he!Oh hey wait a minute! Clever Wonkette operative “Genie” has dug up this McCain ad from all the way back in May — those tranquil days of spring before WALNUTS! dropped the applesauce and conceded to the ambitious youngster with the killer jump shot. Why was he calling himself “President McCain” so many months before the election? Because um the AMERICAN PEOPLE might have an opinion about that!!?! Appalling footage of this terribly presumptuous man after the jump.

John McCain has BOLD SOLUTIONS for making a mock apple pie using his wife’s stolen recipes. (Hint: Ritz crackers!)

If by ‘clever’, you mean ‘someone who watches Stephen Colbert’, then, yeah. Colbert also mentioned that the text is written vertically so that McCain’s supporters, who are mostly bed-ridden, can read it.

I know where you’re going with this, but hold your horses — everybody knows white folks can’t be uppity.

[re=48787]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Ha ha! That’s what I get for watching “State of Play” on the DVD last night.

Larry McAwful July 31, 2008 at 11:34 am

I just don’t get presumptuousness in presidential candidates. What kind of person must you be if you run for president presuming that people will vote for you? This is madness, I swear.

AngryBlakGuy July 31, 2008 at 11:36 am

…he isn’t just the President, he also a client!

Are you saying Richard Cohen is full of shit?

I want to watch TeeVee and be a Wonkette operative.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 31, 2008 at 11:38 am

[re=48787]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Is it really that purposeful? I would have thought he/his staff accidentally hit some sort of damn-fangled button on his computer while typing this and couldn’t figure out how to fix the orientation.

4tehlulz July 31, 2008 at 11:40 am

OH U! It’s not presumptuous when white people do it!

[re=48796]Delicious[/re]: believe in hope delish…it can happen for you!

queeraselvis v 2.0 July 31, 2008 at 11:42 am

Does McCain’s mock apple pie contain applesauce? And does Cindy suggest substituting crushed-up Vicodin for the sugar? These are the REAL issues, people!

AngryBlakGuy July 31, 2008 at 11:43 am

…Exxon-Mobil just made 11.7 BILLION last quarter! Thats good right?

[re=48787]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]:

I’m curious as to why the photo focuses mainly on his suit and tie, rather than on his face. Does he get a discount on clothes if he features each new outfit? Or do his handlers realize that McCain is scary, that his eyes have that dead black look of shark eyes, and that keeping the cameras back is a good idea.

Servo July 31, 2008 at 11:46 am

President of WHAT!? The Southwest Regional Rascal Scooter Club?

HedonismBot July 31, 2008 at 11:48 am

[re=48802]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Yeah, that’s a wonderful thing. That means they’ve made enough money they can drop the price of gas to the floor, cuz they don’t need to make any more money. We’ll go with that…

SayItWithWookies July 31, 2008 at 11:48 am

[re=48802]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Of course — as long as the rich are getting richer faster than the poor and middle class are getting poorer, the economy is in good shape.

NoWireHangers July 31, 2008 at 11:49 am

Looks like someone stole the opening credits for ER.

Carrie_Okie July 31, 2008 at 11:49 am

President of Boca Del Vista.

Tort reform is such a hot issue right now.

i had to put this one on digg for all the bitters. http://digg.com/political_opinion/McCain_Just_as_Presumptuous_as_Obama

[re=48806]Servo[/re]: dammit

WhatTheHeck July 31, 2008 at 11:52 am

So that’s what they mean by another 4 years of Bush.
McCain’s already presnit and this accounts for all the dumb things he says.

AngryBlakGuy July 31, 2008 at 11:52 am

[re=48806]Servo[/re]: …President of the AARP?

Vanity Smurf July 31, 2008 at 12:02 pm

Goddamn uppity old white people just won’t ever learn their place — in the home.

Vanity Smurf July 31, 2008 at 12:04 pm

[re=48819]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I doubt he could get elected president of the Sun City HOA. No way all those old widows are voting for Cunt McRascal when there’s a nice “young” man around.

AngryBlakGuy July 31, 2008 at 12:05 pm

[re=48807]HedonismBot[/re]: …ironically, I wouldn’t be surprised if suddenly between now and lets say “November 4th” we start paying .99 cents a gallon(circa 1999-2000).

[re=48808]SayItWithWookies[/re]: …what are you talking about?! The only true barometer as to the health of the economy is the value of Rex Tillerson stock options!!!

MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend July 31, 2008 at 12:05 pm

[re=48819]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: That’s way too much power.

Vanity Smurf July 31, 2008 at 12:05 pm

So does this mean McCain is a wigger?

sati demise July 31, 2008 at 12:10 pm

His ‘solution’ to the health care crisis is drug importation?
What drugs are included in this solution?

Fine if the drugs are from Canada. Not so great if they are from China.

Jewdishoowary Square July 31, 2008 at 12:16 pm

I propose that we add “dropping the applesauce” to the official campaign lexicon, where it can take its place among proven winners like “swiftboating”, “thrown under the bus” and “Sister Souljah moment”.

itgetter July 31, 2008 at 12:18 pm

Rachel Maddow mentioned this yesterday on Race for the Whitehouse, because she is made of awesome. She also noted other nuggets of presumptuousness from WALNUTS, including his giving a speech about what the world is like after his first term in office.

natoslug July 31, 2008 at 12:22 pm

[re=48837]sati demise[/re]: Cindy’s in charge of scheduling the drug imports; they’ll primarily be from Afghanistan and Colombia.

In other news, how much of a douche is Dana Milbank for giving this stupid issue legs yesterday?

lilblackcorvette July 31, 2008 at 12:24 pm

i meant ColOmbia.. any way you get it, right?

V572625694 July 31, 2008 at 12:25 pm

The best piece of flying text in there says, “End lawsuits.” Yes! That’d be sooooo sweet!

[re=48803]Terry[/re]: Anything to take the focus off the giant melanoma he calls a face.

Borat July 31, 2008 at 12:33 pm

This absolutely proves there is a conspiracy to install him in power.

natoslug July 31, 2008 at 12:34 pm

Ending lawsuits is easy. Just get rid of all those pesky laws. There’s no downside to a complete lack of accountability, right? It’s working out so well in our financial markets at the moment.

AxmxZ July 31, 2008 at 12:37 pm

President McCain isn’t doing too hot in the polls. Impeachment times nao?

eyesfriedopen July 31, 2008 at 1:04 pm

When you mock apple pie, you mock America, my friend.

“President McCain” has a scary ring to it…

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 31, 2008 at 1:46 pm

You liberals are so presumptious. The next thing you know, you will be calling this scion of Annapolis, who’s wife believes that the only way to get around Arizona is by private plane, an elitist.

[re=48881]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: Get in line.

[re=48797]NotUrEvryDayWEzl[/re]: ‘Damn-fangled Button’ would be a great name for a band.

[re=48790]Sara K. Smith[/re]: Lesson learned, then? I thought all pol bloggers had to, like, memorize teh snark news shows every night.
