Two Cranky Old White Men Walk Into a Bar. The First Cranky Old White Man Says …
So Louie Gohmert said that John McCain supports Al Qaeda. Out loud.
And Brian Williams just could not help himself. He had to ask John McCain about it.
McCain, who in all fairness had days to come up with this line, says —
“On that particular issue, sometimes comments like that are made out of malice,” McCain told Williams. “But if someone has no intelligence, I don’t view it as being a malicious statement. You can’t respond to that kind of thing.”
In Texas, that translates to, “Bless his heart. Louie is all smoke and no fire.”
Thanks to everybody for the heads up and John for the cool graphic.
McCain won’t bother to put his foot down and squash a pest. He just turned off the bathroom light and left Louie to scurry around in the dark among the smelly damp spots under the toilet. Oh for the good old days … when they didn’t give names like Louie to cockroaches.
1@UmptyDump, no, I think John McCain said exactly the right thing.
2He said the right thing for sure. Cockroaches have no intelligence.
3McCain didn’t quite take the high road, but he certainly gave the remark the respect it deserved — none.
4The foot in his mouth keeps Louie’s head lodged firmly in his rectum.
5So how do we get rid of Gohmert and his ilk? Sadly, it will not be done through an appeal to reason. Gohmerites (Gohmeridians?) run in districts so gerrymandered that a majority of the GOP primary voters applaud the foolishness the country has just endured, and electing Republicans fits comfortably with the world view of a majority of the voters during the general election. Rather than campaining on the 24 billion just wasted and the injury to the nation’s credit, Democrats must fashion an emotional appeal to voters, based perhaps upon the angst, anger, and embarassment shared by Democrats and independents.

How can you people rub it in poor Louie’s horse face? Can’t you see he’s got nothing but bat-s$%t crazy Bachmann to lean on? Defeat never looked so precious or more deserving,imho.
7For a Republican, McCain has a lot of sense — about some things, anyway. He surely did hit this one on the head.
8I was watching Brian Williams’ interview last night when John McCain said that. I first thought that McCain MUST have been referring to Central Intelligence Agency-type intelligence. After a little reflection, I decided that the comments was just to be taken at face value…. Gomer has NO INTELLIGENCE. Period. I thought that was a purty good observation on McCain’s part and am glad he verbalized it.
9Louie & the foot is good. In fact, the entire GOP seems to be devouring itself – we can only hope. I am reminded of Dali’s painting: http://www.artquotes.net/masters/salvador-dali/premonition-of-civil-war.jpg
10Sometimes McCain acts like a sterling citizen and sometimes like a sailor on leave after six months at sea, especially when he picked Palin (ooooh! look! Boobies!). Maybe one of these days he will get it right and be Mr. Sterling Citizen 24/7.
11e platypus onion: thanks for the motherjones link. Interesting quote from old-guard Tennessee repug senator Bob Corker regarding lessons learned. “There’s nothing to be learned from the second kick of a mule.”
12The baggers are still spinning this outrage as if it wasn’t their fault.
The wonder is that they think we actually believe them.
I’m actually worried now. Senator McCranky announced today that “there will be no more shutdowns. ”
This is from the guy who crashed a couple planes, lost by a landslide to the President and picked Caribou Barbie for a running mate. If McCain’s record holds true, Speaker of the House Cruz will have everything but the war memorials shut down by next week and “no intelligence” Gomer will discover the unified field theory.
Also, too. Carnival Cruz said today that he “would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids and their dog.”
