(2008-06-10) — Sen. John McCain today said his Google search for a vice presidential candidate is “going well” and that so far he has definitively ruled out choosing as his running mate singer Amy Winehouse.
The McCain presidential campaign, eager for the septuagenarian to boost his appeal among young voters, vetted the five-time Grammy winning singer using the popular search engine.
“It turns out that she’s a British citizen,” said Sen. McCain. “It’s amazing what you can learn about people with Google.”
The Arizona Senator’s vice presidential search team has reportedly turned its attention to learning more about movie director Spike Lee.

“The Arizona Senator’s vice presidential search team has reportedly turned its attention to learning more about movie director Spike Lee.”
I wonder what Clint Eastwood would have to say about that…

I wonder if McCain has seen this web site…
Select Smart
Maybe somebody should set up a web site like that for the Republicans, eh?

John Nance “Cactus Jack” Garner (VP under FDR) gave the following advice to his fellow Texan, Lyndon Baines Johnson:
“The vice presidency’s not worth a bucket of warm piss.â€
Somebody should tell Senator McCain to offer the position to a candidate who actually seems to want it, and who might be able to bring the support of an important constituency with her.
I refer, of course , to … Hillary Rodham Clinton.
/somone … anyone … please, shoot me now, before it gets even worse …

Okay, call me dumb, but I never heard of Amy Winehouse, but you all know I turned ** this year so the only people I remember is the Beatles, Carly Simon and the like. Now I know what my parents went through.
Though, Scott, I was a little shocked that your link went to some “not fit for family material.” It wasn’t the first link, but the link the page took you to. Oh my gawd, now I know more about Amy than I really wanted to know.
Scott, tear that wall, er link down

That’s just about right. I don’t think we’ll be able to expect much better than Ms. Winehouse out of a McCain administration. Geez……

MRW, I #2 No you’re far from dumb. As for myself, I had never seen or heard the name, however I dogpiled the name and like yourself, I too know more about her than I want. The first link I tried had a pic of her and I have a MONK- like aversion to large tattoos (one or two tasteful small ones don’t bother me) so the large one on her shoulder instantly told me that I wanted to know no more about her.
It’s no wonder McCain passed - who would want a Vice President with a GREAT BIG tattoo of a barely clad girl on her shoulder?

“Jihad to the Presidency”
“The Audacity of Hope” by Barack H. Obama, when published in
Indonesia the title was changed and published in the Indonesian
language with the title “Jihad to the Presidency”.
One thing I’m learning as I study the phenomenon that is (His current
name) Barack Hussein Obama is that when he said “When I become
President, you can count on the fact that America will undergo change.” he was speaking the absolute truth. What he neglects to add is that the change he has planned for America, is his version of change; and his version of change will make Jimmy Carter look like a
patriotic American. Personally, I trust him just as much as I trust any other Muslim Terrorist.
Except that he is far more dangerous than some Muslim Jihadist wearing an
explosive laden vest or a handful of Muslims destroying the World Trade Center. He is a Muslim who will chip away at American’s Freedoms in his effort to bring America into bondage to his precious Sharia Law. I believe that is the change he envisions and promises.
In the Koran it says that it is basically OK to lie to the infidel to advance the cause of jihad. Now I’m a bit post “Mid-Tribber” (a few months past 3 1/2 years); actually I’m more of a “Pan-Tribber” (everything is going to pan out the way God has planned). I have to admit, however, that there are remarkable similarities between Obama and Nicolae Carpathia from the fictional “Left Behind” Series which follows an unknown, but charming Romanian politician, who quickly attracts millions of followers, seemingly overnight.

Amy’s husband mike be better…but not by much. It would generate a “buzz” like no other though.
Funny thought Scott (as usual)

Maybe Obama could take Mitt, that would be fitting
12 boberinyetagain // Jun 10, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Obama is a Muslim? You’d thing the papers would pick up on that. They must be more liberal than you let on

BO was sired by a Muslim.

Seeks sewing track star:
The probable leader of Obamanation (formerly The United States of America) is advertising for a Vice Presidential running mate. Some of the specifications:
1. Female to attract the disillusioned Hillary vote. A functional transvestite (married or not, if from California) would be acceptable.
2. Demonstrated abilities in track events.
3. Demonstrated ability in making own clothes (and for donation to downtrodden victims of Republican Greed) from whole cloth.
Points 2 & 3 most important; together they address the basic Democrat Party strategy of Cut & Run.
