John McCain suspends his campaign on Monday, plans to spend the day praying for New Orleans, downing Viagra by the handful in a sad attempt to try and banging his hot wife running mate.

at 72, the only thing he's banging is his toe when he gets up to pee for the fourth time.

It's good to see him finally stepping up.

"We're going to suspend most of our activities except those that are absolutely necessary."

So...the private parties are still a 'go' and backroom deals will still go on, but the stuff in front of cameras will still be on hold.

yeesh.

"Would it be wrong if we asked people to pray for rain?(p)"

Stuart Shepard, digital media director for Focus on the Family's "Focus Action," is hoping for sudden, heavy rain at Denver's Invesco Field at Mile High during the speech of a certain presidential nominee on August 28.


How'd that work out, big guy?

Jesus loves you.
Everyone else thinks you're an asshole.

Just a sock named Marilyn. She was hot.

 
bulldg4life [TotalFark] 2008-08-31 07:54:14 PM  
It'd be funny if McCain just suspended all campaign activities and shut his eyes and hoped really hard for the election to get here as fast as possible.

He's just going to call it quits here and hope it stays close through the news media propping him up.

Wait til next week when he suspends campaign activities because NFL football just got underway.

Well, if you are judging him by the Bush presidency, then yes. He's headed for a photo op in New Orleans just like Bush did. He really has no other business there. He's turning this storm into a campaign issue just like he did with Georgia. He's an unqualified douche bag.

 
ConservativesBlow 2008-08-31 08:04:18 PM  
Barack Obama offers to gather his donors and raise funds and support for the victims.

McCain offers to pray, despite having billions in his own coffers and being the nominee of the party known for their support from large corporations.

Yes, it's McCain who is acting presidential.

My dad is a 72-year old Arizonan and I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

...and you're right. My dad spends more time in the bathroom than anywhere else lately.

Isn't McCain also thinking about delivering his speech from the hurricane zone? Yeah, that'll be a fantastic use of precious state resources.

I think Moore is just as idiotically partisan as the woman who sits down the aisle from me at work and defended illegal immigration by saying "what happened to 'give us your tired,' your hungry!"

If your measurement stick is that of Bush, i guess he really is acting presidential.

Personally, i'm glad at the grassroots move to help that Obama is doing.

Not as dumb as choosing Palin.

But McCain will use the hurricane as a PR stunt. He already knows major media outlets will cover Gustav's arrival and what better way to capture the spotlight by feigning he actually cares.

You're a douche. McOld is going on a political junket to the eye of the hurricane. He doesn't give a rat's ass about the welfare of those people. Rather, he is grandstanding, just like he did in Iowa. Obama, on the other hand, is active from a distance and taking the high road:

Asked if McCain's visit to the region was appropriate, Obama said, "I think that with a big storm like this raises bipartisan concerns and I think for John to want to find out what is going on is fine."

As for whether or not he would visit, Obama said, "The thing that I am always concerned about is, in the middle of the storm is, whether we are drawing resources away from folks on the ground, because the Secret Service and various security requirements sometimes it pulls police and fire and other departments away from concentrating on the job. I am assuming that where (McCain) went that wasn't an issue and we are going to try to stay clear of the area until things have settled down and then we will probably try to figure out how we can be as helpful as possible."

Over the weekend, Obama has phoned Louisiana Gov Bobby Jindal, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, Sen. Mary Landrieu, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and FEMA director David Paulison. Aides said he was mainly trying to learn the latest about the path of the storm, gauge the work that had been done to help evacuate the old, infirm, and people with special needs, and to assess how well federal, state and local authorities are cooperating.

The Democrat also offered any assistance he could, though practically speaking there is little a first-term junior senator from Illinois can do right now.

Obama today said he called upon on his network of volunteers and donors to mobilize to help citizens of the Gulf Coast.

"Since we've got a network of volunteers, donors all across the country is to try to coordinate with officials to figure out what will be most useful if we can get volunteers, if we can get donations where they can be directed," he told reporters. "We probably won't know entirely who needs the most help and what is the best way to do it without getting in people's way, until we actually see what happens over the next 48 hours."

By early afternoon, a blog post on the Obama-Biden website told supporters how they could help.

To be fair, he probably does have a house in the storm zone to protect.

I was pretty unaware of this myself until today, but I guess the convention does have the legal necessity of making his nomination official.

Even if it's a superfluous roll call vote that will swiftly pass through (basically a formality), it's still required, IIRC. Same thing goes with the VP candidate.

Obama is offering something the victims can actually use. McCain is offering something only a PR stunt can provide.

I think Gustav is a sign from God to humans that we shouldn't be rebuilding New Orleans. Remember how God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? Imagine how pissed he would've been if went back and rebuilt it.

This hurricane may be one of the best thing to happen to him recently actually. Bush and Cheney won't be at the convention, which was controversial to begin with. And it's taken a lot of media attention away from Palin.

For what it's worth:

Hurricane Gustav: How You Can Help
As Hurricane Gustav approaches and Gulf Coast residents evacuate their communities, our thoughts and prayers go out to those who are affected by this situation. Mayor Ray Nagin has announced a mandatory evacuation for the City of New Orleans today, Sunday, August 31st.

Dude is 72, isn't he? Not sure if "banging" is really the most accurate verb in this instance. For that matter, is the term "hot wife" still actually in play here?

However, won't Gustav remind voters of how much Bush failed to respond during Katrina? I just can't see any upside for McCain.

As for Palin, babygate is even getting a mention (new window) in the major media. That story, I think, will pick up following the end of the Labour Day weekend.
