Hey look, it’s the three bestest friends ever, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Joe Lieberman! Who’s that fourth guy they’re with? Are they looking to add a member to this terrific team of winning policy minds? Oh, it’s Muammar Gaddafi. This must have been taken a million years ago, right, considering all of them now [...]
War schlub David Petraeus did one of his “report cards to the Senate” things today, and he’s got good news! Despite never accomplishing* a single thing in 10 years of bloody, pointless, horrific boondoggle Central Asian warfare, “It is only recently that we have gotten the inputs right in Afghanistan.” Oh, now we get it! [...]
According to Frank Bailey’s leaked tell-all book, Sarah Palin’s inner circle didn’t believe she had a chance at getting the vice-presidential nomination in 2008. That didn’t mean they didn’t think she was right for high executive office; in fact, they worked with and fed information to a college student who ran a Palin-for-president website, and [...]
Last year, Lindsey Graham decided to use his formal Ham Biscuit Veto, the constitutional provision that allows closeted senators to block any bill that offends their dainty self-importance, to stop immigration and climate-change reforms from happening, because he was so upset about the health care. But now Lindsey Graham has decided the immigration thing is [...]
Oh for Christ’s sake: “Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, tells CNN he believes his good friend Joe Lieberman would make a good defense secretary for President Obama, calling him ‘one of the most informed members of the Senate on national security issues and homeland security issues.’” How helpful of him! You know, just the other day [...]
A few tipsters have pointed us to this New York Times top-story image, and we saw it too: John McCain still cannot handle that he lost to that guy. Sheesh. John McCain is going to force himself to live until he’s 160 so he can win the world record for bitterness.
The military must be pretty confused, as they probably thought they were the ones who were supposed to implement military policies, but nope! Wrong answer! It’s John McCain who will go door to door, barrack to barrack, making sure the troops know that they’re allowed to be gay now, so they don’t freak out or [...]
Many tried to top the Epic Comedy of Christine O’Donnell’s actual political commercial about being a witch, but only one brave man could approach the occult pathos of the Delaware Masturbation Witch’s official campaign advertisements, and that was this guy. Who else made us ashamed in 2010? Oh pretty much everybody, but these six videos [...]
Rapidly decomposing statesman John McCain is still super annoyed about the DADT repeal, so much so that he has had little fits all over the place for Dana Milbank to witness. “Today’s a very sad day. The commandant of the United States Marine Corps says when your life hangs on the line, you don’t want [...]
Hooray, John McCain’s insane Obama-spite mission to keep gay soldiers from admitting they’re gay soldiers is over, because the cloture vote has succeeded on the latest attempt at repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. It is absolutely ridiculous that it took this long for members of our armed forces to attain basic human rights, but [...]
John McCain went on the Senate floor to deliver a heartfelt eulogy today about Russ Feingold, his dear campaign-finance-reform life-partner, even though Feingold is still alive, geez. But it turned out to be a moment of striking clarity, because John McCain may have finally admitted he is a two-bit shell of a leader who has [...]
Walnuts! The fact is, this was a political promise made by an inexperienced President or candidate for Presidency of the United States. Jonathan Chait says this shows John McCain is bitter about losing the 2008 election, but to us it seems he just never stopped running for president. He didn’t lose the 2008 election; it [...]
Julian Assange dropped another steaming document dump, consisting of “diplomatic cables” that are actually rather embarrassing and not even remotely diplomatic. Aside from revealing that U.S. diplomats are constantly saying rude things about foreign dignitaries, these cables also document how Hillary Clinton ordered her State Department minions to “spy” on basically everyone. Rep. Steve King, [...]
