FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, ALANCheck out the evolution of John McCain’s responses at an event today about whether he plans to raise the payroll tax. First: “You know I’m opposed to tax increases.” Then: “I think I can convince people on the other side of the table that we do not need tax increases.” Finally: “I have to be against tax increases, as you know.” Straightest talk of all time. Other famous McCain campaign responses to this question in the past have included that he would not raise this tax “under any imagineable circumstance” and “I don’t want tax increases. But that doesn’t mean that anything is off the table.” So he may have to raise taxes, but that wouldn’t be tax hike, because that’s what Barack Obama does, while shirtless. [Washington Post]

It’s like he’s playing telephone, with himself, and then the voters alllllll the way at the other end.

Is this photo from one of those food eating contests? I mean how long is that freaking sandwich? He’s still got another six inches on the table. In your face Kobayashi U.S.A, U.S.A.!!!

This just in: Walnuts! demonstrates Republican values by deepthroating the biggest, deepthroatable object he can find.

Wait, a minute, isn’t that a Larry Craig “SuperTuber”

It’s not a tax hike, it’s a tax shuffle with a walker.

SayItWithWookies August 15, 2008 at 4:37 pm

It’s okay if he raises payroll taxes, because he won’t like it. Just like torturing Afghan farmers. And going to war with Russia over who-the-fuck-knows-what.

Tybalt August 15, 2008 at 4:37 pm

He’s still got another six inches on the table

And three more under it. Take that, Hopey!

“I have to absolutely inhale this tube steak, as you know.”

Cape Clod August 15, 2008 at 4:38 pm

On the positive side, I didn’t think he could get his elbows that high.

“Senator, you say you won’t raise taxes, but your position seems to have changed.”
“My friends, I meant that…NOM NOM MMMPH”

One hand is for guiding, and the other hand is for pushing.

The Real JR Revisted August 15, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Since he will obviously be our next president, I request a photoshop of that sandwich as a kitten. We must uphold our traditions, you know.

tunamelt August 15, 2008 at 4:41 pm

[re=60949]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Yeah, it’s just something he absolutely has to do but doesn’t really enjoy, like eating broccoli or teh butt sechs.

loudmouthredhead August 15, 2008 at 4:42 pm

He’s just doing that to appeal to the base…or to proposition them? I’m not sure which.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl August 15, 2008 at 4:42 pm

This is making me hungry.

tunamelt August 15, 2008 at 4:43 pm

[re=60954]loudmouthredhead[/re]: Oddly, it also works as a Southwest Airlines “Wanna Get Away?” commercial.

pondscum August 15, 2008 at 4:44 pm

Because that’s what Obama does, while shirtless.

Can we keep on this meme? And get photos?

Strictly for the Tardcore August 15, 2008 at 4:44 pm

Does “massive continental land war with Russia” count as an “imaginable circumstance”? Just curious.

[re=60971]pondscum[/re]: Tada!

pickleandcake August 15, 2008 at 4:56 pm

i’m going on a tax hike this weekend.

does it kind of look like mccain is being forced to eat that sandwich? like maybe the pants behind him have a “gun” to his head? can i also just say that “nom nom nom” makes eating sound so adorable?

tsunami August 15, 2008 at 4:56 pm

notice…there’s another dog in front of him.

S.Luggo August 15, 2008 at 5:07 pm

He said peyote tax, not payroll tax. Open your ears, America!

WadISay August 15, 2008 at 5:09 pm

That jowl-bulge must make it tough for McCain to do the pantomime blowjob thingy.

Wee Mousie August 15, 2008 at 5:10 pm

Someone told McCain their was a three-day supply of Viagra in every Oscar Meyer wiener.

He has about a cup and a half of broken glass on his hot dog! Did he pick that up in Hanoi? Did torture food become his comfort food?

What with McBush being surrounded by hot, thin, sweaty young Vietnamese boys for 5.5 years, it’s no surprise that he developed a taste for eating Asian.

What’s that John? Another order of cream of Sum Dum Goi? To go?

You do know that he was a sailor, don’t you.
