Sexy.

madtowngooner September 24, 2008 at 3:48 pm

Fuck yeah

InsidiousTuna September 24, 2008 at 3:48 pm

I’m glad Barry’s sticking to it, I just spent a shitload of money on hard alcohol.

columnv September 24, 2008 at 3:49 pm

NObama doesn’t care about the economy.

HomoPolitico September 24, 2008 at 3:49 pm

i can haz dbait!!!!!111!! Dbait iz gud fer drinkinz!

OffTheRecord September 24, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Bring it! I love me some Barry so very much right now. If he backs down I may actually cry a little.

StrangelyBrown September 24, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Goddamn right it’s on. Don’t we deserve a president who can think of more than one thing at a time, John?

whore4hope September 24, 2008 at 3:51 pm

If McCain’s not feeling up to it, I’m sure Nader would happily take his place.

Trinkett September 24, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Yay! I thought my party was gonna be ruint.

spencer September 24, 2008 at 3:51 pm

If anyone can lose a debate against no one, it is the democrats.

Gopherit v2.0 September 24, 2008 at 3:51 pm

…can he look anymore desperate?

“Rascals!”

tunamelt September 24, 2008 at 3:52 pm

I do actual work for an hour and seriously, I miss everything.

sanantonerose September 24, 2008 at 3:52 pm

This is worse than trying to get a long-distance boyfriend to commit to a weekend get together. Sheesh. Obama just wants to have some fun, not propose marriage, fergawdsakes!

wilmawonker September 24, 2008 at 3:53 pm

it’s amazing how you can campaign and work on stuff in D.C. if you have a webcam and know how to use the interwebs.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 24, 2008 at 3:53 pm

YES! Total win, Barry. Just by showing up.

RonMwangaguhunga September 24, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Oh, it’s on, it’s on like Gray Poupon!

Jobbotch September 24, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Oh baby

Serolf Divad September 24, 2008 at 3:55 pm

McCain’s so fucked. The National Security debate was his best shot at taking down Obama. What cards does he have left to play?

Hamster September 24, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Party’s back on!!!

graceless September 24, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Excellent! After all, there is always more than one thing going on.

WagTehGod September 24, 2008 at 3:56 pm

All I want is a press release from Barry that says “You go be a Senator, John. I’ll be in Mississippi on Friday, being a president.”

bitchincamaro September 24, 2008 at 3:56 pm

McFlipFlop!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serolf Divad September 24, 2008 at 3:57 pm

[re=106397]spencer[/re]:

All Barry has to do is answer every question with “I’m afraid that’s above my pay grade.”

But I’m confident he’ll make us proud. Go Barry!

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 24, 2008 at 3:57 pm

He’s already backing down! CNN said that the rumor is that McCain is saying that if a vote can be put together on Friday, he’ll still debate.

Backlash. It’s a beautiful thing.

ReverendGreen September 24, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Send in your ready-to-lead running mate Governor Palin, Mac!

shortsshortsshorts September 24, 2008 at 3:58 pm

[re=106397]spencer[/re]: One can only hope he doesn’t say anything when he shows up. Speaking is a bad strategy for the DNC.

Rush September 24, 2008 at 3:58 pm

(picturing Barry showing up alone with a big Flav O Flav clock around his neck and gold plated teeth going “Yeahh Boyyyy – where is him at”.)

ThePuckStopsHere September 24, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Yes! FTW! Barry goes all, “Oh, it’s on motherf—er, it is most certainly on!”

4tehlulz September 24, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Win

Viva la Cynthia September 24, 2008 at 3:59 pm

[re=106404]sanantonerose[/re]: EXCELLENT ANALOGY.

And now I’m sad… :(

spontaneousabortion September 24, 2008 at 3:59 pm

It better be on. I already bought everything needed to make red, white, and blue cupcakes.

heronimule September 24, 2008 at 4:00 pm

The Obama campaign better come out with a pretty strong, assertive response and quickly lest they look like petulant grandchildren disobeying grandpa.

spencer: Agreed.

erymanthian bore September 24, 2008 at 4:00 pm

Hey! Did something happen? I just woke up from my regularly scheduled afternoon nap….

JeffGoldblum September 24, 2008 at 4:00 pm

I hope McCain gets real crotchety the night of the debate and it turns into Sourpussfest 2008. Whenever Jim Lehrer asks him a question McCain is going to tell him to read his books.

Viva la Cynthia September 24, 2008 at 4:01 pm

[re=106426]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: And thank god for the internet so this backlash can be so sweet and quick!

Tawmn September 24, 2008 at 4:01 pm

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more Chauncey Gardner…

oy vey September 24, 2008 at 4:01 pm

a terminal moment of weakness for MCain! he saw the polls with O-man up 9 points, and knows that when the debate doesnt go well for him it is game over!
praise JEEBUS!

Rush September 24, 2008 at 4:02 pm

[re=106443]erymanthian bore[/re]:

No. Go back to sleep. We will wake you when Hillary rules the world.

StripesAndPlaids September 24, 2008 at 4:02 pm

This is such a blantant political stunt. Suspend your fucking campaign. Concede. Do whatever you fucking want to. Twit.

magic titty September 24, 2008 at 4:03 pm

[re=106406]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Too bad he’ll be dodging bullets in Mississippi. That’s where this one is, right? My version of the facts are telling the truth, yes?

IslandGirlFL September 24, 2008 at 4:07 pm

[re=106448]Tawmn[/re]: I like to watch….

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 24, 2008 at 4:07 pm

[re=106458]magic titty[/re]: Yup. Mississippi. Even if the only person there is Barry making fun of an empty podium.

Itsjustme September 24, 2008 at 4:07 pm

Wait a fucking minute….Tucker (hypnotic state) Bounds said this morning that McCain knows how to fix the economy. I believe he called it a “plan.” So what is the deal? If he knows how to fix it, fix it and move on to the debate. I need my snarky Maddow and Olbermann on Friday!

StripesAndPlaids September 24, 2008 at 4:07 pm

[re=106427]ReverendGreen[/re]: Amen, Reverend.

RonMwangaguhunga September 24, 2008 at 4:09 pm

“Oh Mr. Magoo, you’ve done it again!”

PoliTacky September 24, 2008 at 4:12 pm

[re=106426]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Oh, so: “If my buddies can shove through the total rape of the U.S. Treasury for my other buddies nice and quick, I’ll debate my enemy…”

Serolf Divad September 24, 2008 at 4:12 pm

[re=106474]Itsjustme[/re]:

He knows how to fix the economy the same way he knows how to win wars (see: Vietnam) and catch Osama Bin Ladin.

Texan Bulldoggette September 24, 2008 at 4:17 pm

The Univ of MS also says the debate is going forward.

Walnuts’s internal polling must SUCK right about now.

ms_mcgee September 24, 2008 at 4:19 pm

“So these are going to be tough debates my friends, but I believe on the substance, on the substance I can convince the American people that I can keep reform government restore prosperity and keep peace.” – John McCain 9/23. So the substantative nature of the debates makes them important. We should really call them off.

Lionel Hutz Esq. September 24, 2008 at 4:24 pm

McCain’s camp decided they wanted to postpone the debate after McCain kept falling for Michael Steele’s “A Honky says what?” strategy.

Scooter September 24, 2008 at 4:27 pm

Why not go all the way and suspend the election itself?? After all, there’s still some stuff the neocons haven’t stolen from us yet.

BTW, new CNN Poll shows Obama widening leads in CO, MI, PA and WEST VIRGINIA!!

tiger September 24, 2008 at 4:37 pm

par-TAY!!

magic titty September 24, 2008 at 4:44 pm

[re=106471]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Mm hmm. They call it ‘playin’ the dozens’.

Borat September 24, 2008 at 6:02 pm

[re=106426]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Clearly taking ‘good’ advice from moosilini here – if you don’t know what to do, float some deniable statement out there and see what happens (then try to fire everyone). Hey it worked for the Wasilla public library, why wouldn’t it work for $700billion?

PrinceOfSnarkness September 24, 2008 at 6:56 pm

Do you think Barry got where he is today by just handing out extensions? I don’t think so!

I wouldn’t have liked to have been in his law class…

snig September 24, 2008 at 10:32 pm

Hopey should challenge McCain to 12 townhall meetings between now and Friday. If McCain balks, then by McCain’s own logic, Hopey can put sugar in the straight talk express gas tank (as a way of affirming his support of crop based fuels ?), shave one of McCain’s eyebrows while he naps and hijack Palin’s teleprompter so she goes back to pronouncing it nucular and also confesses that she’s in the tank for Nader.

This brings to mind that 3:00 am phone call thing. Let it ring until you can clear your schedule or deal with it now, keep your head and keep doing your job…
