Well, at least he's got that going for him.

"I've been a great admirer of the Dalai Lama," McCain told reporters Thursday while campaigning in Ohio, calling the Dalai Lama "a transcendent international role model and hero."

Transcendent. You can't get any better of a recommendation than that.

(big hitter, the Lama)

+1

Interesting bedfellows, those two.

Didn't Chevy Chase play that role in Caddy Shack? Seems to me that dude was fairly enlightened and had a transcendant golf game :P

Larry Mahnken: Video

Alright, I'll be pretty disapointed with myself if I farked up a Caddy Shack reference :(

hey everybody! we're all gonna get screwed!

Obama should meet and play some basketball with the lama. Then we can compare crowds.

"Big hitter, the Lama... long."

So that'll be some total conciousness any day now.

Who's his VP?

/trivia: That was Bill Murray's only scripted speech in the film. He improved the rest with Ramis' blessing

log_jammin: hey everybody! we're all gonna get screwed laid!

FTFY

i know. but it's about a politician. politicians "screw people over" not "get them laid".


...nevermind...

Well, then, you're obviously not a true believer! That's going to be one of the most important planks in the platform.

DrBenway: That's going to be one of the most important planks in the platform.

I'd change my vote for that.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain planned to meet with the Dalai Lama today in a show of solidarity with the Tibetan spiritual leader and as a rebuke to China's treatment of the people he represents.

Huh... first time in this campaign I can say I support something John McCain plans to do.

On a related note, got a chance to see "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama" the other night. Pretty good documentary about the guy. I love his laugh.

Are they gonna meet near the Tibet/Iraq border?

The dalai lama is a parasite.

I guess total consciousness is much better than the pre-naptime consciousness we're getting right now.

mesohorny: Obama should meet and play some basketball with the lama. Then we can compare crowds.

Never play b-ball with the Lama, he's got a really nasty low post move that'll juke you out of your shorts, and he's totally flagrant with his elbows but the refs never call him for it.

Don't touch the Llama.

Andric: Are they gonna meet near the Tibet/Iraq border?

*snicker*

All 3 network anchors would cover it breathlessly labeling it the "Men of peace conference" or some such thing

Atillathepun: Well, at least he's got that going for him.

which is nice

I went to a Q&A with Bill Murray a few years ago. According to him, that speech was originally done by someone else, and they called him up a few weeks after filming to see if he'd do it instead. He showed up, started it the way it was written by his brother ("So I jump ship in Hong Kong...") but then improvised the rest of the speech.

I think on the DVD they said that pretty much everyone except Rodney Dangerfield improvised all of their lines. Rodney hated acting and was too nervous to stray from the script.

The whole speech is funny but there is just something about the way he says "so I jump ship in Hong Kong" that kills me everytime I watch Caddyshack. It's the matter of fact way he says it, like everyone jumps ship in Hong Kong. Classic moment.

Transcendent. You can't get any better of a recommendation than that.

Did he also call the war on terror transcendent?

Hopefully he really whips the Lama's ass, just like WinAmp.
