McCain will now be referring to Obama as "Mr. Romero"

Did I miss something? Did something happen to Goose?

Ya, but we all still want to know who each will have as their wingman, dammit!

My squadron in Vietnam lost eight of 18 aircraft. Ten men. First one dies you die too, but there will be others. You can count on that. You gotta let him go. You gotta let him go.

All I know is that McCain does NOT want to be Mr. Pink.

I bet he thinks he's dangerous.

I know I do.

Thanks. I guess I'm just holding on too tight.

Obama did that thing where he closes his mouth quickly and his teeth make that clicking noise.

Movie references!

If you're at work, you better have safe search on, or you get foobies galore.

McCains negative campaigning makes me suspect he lost that loving feeling...I got nothing.

I thought Goose got brain cancer and died after a trip to Hawaii. Clooney didn't even visit him, as I remember.

I'd also like to add, to actually comment on something in the article, that the linked "DNC ad" (not Obama's) is, well, farking terrible. It's a terrible, terrible ad.

SID: You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest farking scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun.

DUANE: Oh, come on.

SID: Top Gun is farking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots.

DUANE: It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around.

SID: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the farking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.

DUANE: What about Kelly McGillis?

SID: Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie . . . He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the fark, what the fark is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it.

The real ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting farking force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they farking land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last farking line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! farkin' A, man!

Yes! FINALLY Obama strikes on the "he is NOT a maverick" stuff. If I were him, I'd be saying this every sentence I wasn't mentioning "nation of whiners" and vice versa.

I would get all of the ex-friends that Obama threw under the bus to speak about "the real Obama"

The only Maverick in the Senate is Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.

I'd be talking about how he's been well off his entire life and can't really relate to "you people" like he says he can.

JeffTL: The only Maverick in the Senate is Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.

Eh, there are plenty of loners in the Senate. Notice how Feingold wasn't quoted in the DNC's response ad saying McCain is a bad bad man? Feingold's not a party liner, he's a badass. That guy, I would run out and fight for to be President.

That too. Is there a clip of McCain ever bashing Edwards for the $400 haircut? Well, let's hang him by those $520 loafers he prefers.

/no, I have no idea how you'd hang someone by their loafers

What about Bernie Sanders? Is being the lone member of the Socialist Party not mavericky enough?
