If this election is decided by "to hug or not to hug?" I'm going to off myself.

It's hard to be the pimp if you are not willing to sample the product.

What's the difference between Clinton's wang and McCain's?

Lipstick

If the only reason you cringe when you watch McCain is because he hugs Palin, you must either be politically challenged or blindly Republican.

Repubs should be equally uncomfortable when Palin speaks.

drugs, not hugs.

"Stop embracing and invading the space of your running mate Palin's extreme anti choice agenda, opposition to equal pay equal work, the Bush tax cuts, and the thought of attacking Iran and Russia, and you might get the blue-state woman vote"

That seems to make a bit more sense...

Palin made rape victims pay for their rape kits when she was the mayor of Wassila. Oh I Can see women voting for her too... NOT!

 
ZAZ [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 08:26:35 AM  
I'm often unsure when to hug and when not to hug, but "in front of TV cameras" is definitely a "not" moment.

And candidates, even if your wife is hot I don't need to see you two making out.

 
Malkor 2008-09-20 08:29:26 AM  
"You are a celebrated war hero married to a multimillionaire heiress whose family owns a beer distributorship, so you have the red-state man vote."

I laughed long and loud at that.

 
bobbette [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 08:36:31 AM  
I think that anyone who cares about McCain sexually harassing his running mate is already voting Obama because of Palin's disgusting anti-woman record.

Can you travel back in time and tell Al Gore this? I still need mind bleach from watching him tongue Tipper for like, 3 whole minutes back in 2000.

Hey, give the old fart a break. He knows that in just a few months Palin will be banished back into the frozen tundra forever and he won't be able to feel her up anymore.

He's gettin while the gettin's good.

 
ExJerseyGirl [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 09:15:39 AM  
There are many more important issues to talk about. But I enjoyed this article and also find it uncomfortable that they are always hugging. It is creepy.

 
co-conspirator [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 09:25:59 AM  
Show grampa some deference; he's a little wobbly, and the nice nursemaid is keeping him from toppling over.

So what if he wants to cop a feel?

Judging by the look on Palin's face during the hugs, you aren't the only one. Then again it may not be the actual hug causing that as much as it is the overpowering odor of Old Spice and urine that rolls off of McCain in waves.

he's trying to keep her from running away

The T and A is in the VP Lounge.

 
batpappy 2008-09-20 09:59:01 AM  
I'll bet he wouldn't be huggin' on Mitt Romney like that

/that's sexist

 
KwameKilstrawberry 2008-09-20 10:12:44 AM  
Yeah, I picked up on the hugs too. It's just not presidentialy, as Angela Merkle might tell you. It diminishes Palin's authoritay and looks patronizing as fark.

And it also reminds me of the infamous Michael Jackson / Lisa Presley hug. Ewww.

/frankly, I am hoping that McCain bends her backwards over the podium and scores a little tonsil hockey. That would reflect nicely in the polls.

That first day when McCain announced Palin and couldn't stop looking at her ass...

...but then again, maybe he had a thing for GW, too.

Lando Lincoln [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 10:35:45 AM  
Why the hell do you think he agrees to have her as his running mate? If he wasn't allowed to have his buddy Lieberman as his running mate, at least he's going to get some copped feels out of it.

 
Bacontastesgood 2008-09-20 11:22:53 AM  
This article has no byline. I know it's a blog or something, but there's no author listed, top or bottom or anywhere. I usually like to keep mental track of retards so I don't waste time reading other things they write.

Since they act like he's getting blown by her backstage, we are left to wonder.

 
Slam Bradley 2008-09-20 12:50:43 PM  
I can't believe she lets him hug her (or hasn't had someone tell McCain to stop it). Treat her like a colleague, not some token damsel that needs protecting.

That was my favorite part of her speech on Wed of the RNC. She gave him like the back corner of her ear when he went in for a kiss. I thought she'd continue rebuking McCain, but I guess not.

As long as they leave some room for the Holy Ghost I guess.

/I'm sure her crazy policies have nothing to do with why blue-state women are uninterested

 
Obdicut [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 01:08:53 PM  
The writer doesn't know who they're voting for, and spends their time talking about hugs.

I recommend termination.

As much as I generally hate political sex scandals, I think I might make an exception to that rule just to see how the country would react to an affair between McCain and Palin.

 
gadian [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 02:06:36 PM  
Reminds me of the time Strom Thurmon grabbed my ass during a class photo op. Almost broke that old pervert's arm.

 
Alphax 2008-09-20 02:27:44 PM  
How about if McCain divorces Cindy this time? Before the cheating starts? Or is it too late?

 
Geekette [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 03:27:08 PM  
For some reason this reminds me of the Kerry/Edwards hug-a-thon photos posted on the Drudge report right after they announced his VP pick. It's tradition for politicans to show lots of physical hug-affection on the trail.

HOWEVER, with that said, there is something very creepy...as in 'grandpa don't touch me there' creepy...when he goes over to molest hug her repeatedly. The fact that she seems to keep pulling away from him doesn't help the impression.

 
Bucky Katt [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 05:12:52 PM  
McCain's first wife: swimsuit model
McCain's second wife: rodeo queen
McCain's third wife veep: beauty queen

There are lots of pictures of McCain staring at her ass.

Bush keeps feeling up the chancellor of Germany. Old men will patronize anyone they can get their hands on. Of course a Democrat would Fark them instead.

he wants to shamma lamma ding dong with Palin.

 
Kevin5280 2008-09-20 08:43:29 PM  
The hugs are creepy but less creepy than McCain calling Palin his "soulmate" a couple of days after picking her.

 
Passive Aggressive Larry [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 09:16:17 PM  
Come on, no one references McCain on SNL (new window)?
