What's the point of this exactly?

McCain is a parody candidate, right?

He got some kind of generous performance art grant in 1972 1872 and just hasn't let up since, right?

He should just try and paint obama as a dousche then, oh wait...that would still be hypocritical

Hey, that's not fair, they played this movie on TNT this weekend. I demand equal time for Obama, so get a Curious George episode on tv stat

To point out McCain's rendition of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"

James Carville and John McCain are both enormous douches.

Ah...yes. A 10 second cameo in a 3 year old movie is definitely the same as a rockstar-like world tour.

Thanks.

This post needs the word sheeple to be effective. As much as possible. Just make it every other word. It'll really show that you're concerned by the reaction.

I love Obama, and hope he wins the damn hell out of this election. But honestly, a 3 second cameo in a movie is not an argument. Now, if McCain was in the titty scenes about 10 minuntes later, then yeah, I think we can all agree on the hipocrasy. But at the time, he was a senator, playing a senator, in a movie somewhat about politics (like, 1%, but shutup). It's not like he's on laugh-in saying "sock it to me" and stealing his opponents... wait... nevermind all that.

How about everyone just gets their heads out of the "liberal" or "Conservative" anuses and do the right thing? Vote for who you think has "most" of the same beliefs as you. No one will. Ever. And all you can do is either run yourself, or pick the lesser of 2 evils. Quit letting some party of rich assholes decide which moral system you believe in.

GOBAMA!

this isn't an argument. this also isn't from obama. this is simply a rather simple rebuttal to mccain's argument that obama is somehow a "celebrity". mccain is the one doing movie cameos. it's not that we think less of mccain for doing it, because really, who gives a shiat. it's that mccain has no standing to try and act the part of the media recluse who would never make himself into a pop culture item.

 
Yodacat 2008-08-09 01:27:39 AM  
burndtdan: stuff and things.

Looks like we're on the same page. But while I'm slightly sober..er. I'd like to poing out that when mccain did this, he wasn't running for president. And uh... who even realized it was him until they saw this video? I never did. I recognized Carvell, but not mccain. Maybe he was hoping for a bit of exposure at the time with the "young, hip" crowd. But I sure as hell didn't notice him. And uh, I'm sure there are people out there with their tongue so far up the liberal ass that they do care. Just like there are people who can't help tasting the delicious conservative rectum that says Obama is a muslim terrorist super secret triple agent. *sigh*... I just wish people would get over this Political Party bullshiat. But thank you for pointing out the flaws in my statement, I tend to ramble when I'm drunk.

neither is obama's "celebrity status"
the biggest waste of fundraising money ever.

I'm so glad that the money I give obama gets some value from it, and doesn't go to downright pointless ad campaigns.

Obama '08

So I figured that McCain would have an imdb page then, and he does. He has one acting credit for "24".

Here's the weird thing.

He has a writing credit for a film called Democrazy as a 'script collaborator', along with Sharon Stone. Turns out it an art installation by an Italian artist with mock campaign commercials. Here's the story about it. Here's a video of the film.

It's all just very odd.

But I believe it's safe to infer that John McCain likes to have bisexual threesomes with hedonist European actors and artists while eating prosciutto and doing blow.

So I checked out Obama's imdb page too and sure enough he has an appearance on Al Jazeera. He also appeared on a German news program.

Which absolutely must mean that he's a terrorist Muslim Arab nazi sympathizer who wants mandatory abortion so that the Jews can take over the galaxy. And tax you and stuff too.

CustomAndy: ZOMG JAMES CARVILLE

Brilliant!

And for what it's worth, I think McCain's original "celebrity" ad was stupid, and this as a "response" is stupid as well. What's the problem with a politician appearing in a movie? Of course, I may be biased -- I've spent the last 30 years in California, and look who our governor is...

People actually think "tu quoque" arguments are clever. They're not but their apparently very effective.

The McCain camp seems pretty desperate,with their ridiculous ad campaign. but I don't think they really have a lot to fear. I think voters are going to be split--between age groups. Under 35 will vote for Obama---Over 35--McCain.

McCain's going to win. Not because I want him too, but because the older demo has more voters and they will most likely vote for the guy they feel they know better.

My knee jerk/ party pooper analysis anyway...

//Obama!

Ben Stein was pushing this talking point on Larry King Wednesday. He's a farking celebrity. Why should anybody listen to him?

It could be worse--the Republicans could've chosen Al D'Amato as their nominee.

noheadphones: McCain is going to win because as long as the world remains a dangerous place experience will trump youth. Russia invaded Georgia for crissakes. What the eff is this world coming to?
