John McCain can't send emails because he lost the fine motor skills required to operate a keyboard easily while spending 5 1/2 years in a North Vietnamese prison camp being tortured for his country.
John Hinderacker has the best headline on this one yet, Obama Gets Tough, Shoots Self In Head. The comments on this post over at the Ace of Spades blog are hilarious. Here are two of my favorites:
I think they spent months trying to figure out how they can position Obama as better qualified than McCain, and basically came up with the fact that Obama can type.and
This is a first. With this ad, Obama has gotten inside his OWN decision cycle!The whole notion of "Now I'm going to get tough with John McCain" is pretty ludicrous considering the dude spent 2 of those years in solitary confinement in a total hellhole and all of those years getting the stuffing beaten out of him on a regular basis. Just what on Earth does Mr. Arugula think he can do to top that?
Joe Biden is probably wondering how he can gracefully get off the ticket and save his own skin.
The logic behind this ad cannot be explained. The "Mac" vs. "PC" angle is laughably condescending.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. I didn't get it before I read the POW story. I thought the ad was lame to begin with. Now it turns out to have been an atomic boomerang.
ReplyDeleteBut KT, this is classic leftist behavior. Find a fact that be distorted and then spread the distortion all over the media, expecting that no one will challenge the lie, with the full truth.
ReplyDelete10 years ago it would have worked. Today,with the internet, the truth gets out and the left and their lapdogs the MSM can't stop it.
It's just...shocking.
ReplyDeleteAre they that stupid, or do they think WE are?
Foxfier,
ReplyDeleteThe answer is... Yes.
Wasn't it Bill Clinton who couldn't even dial a telephone?

ReplyDeleteMAC HATER HAS A LOUSY 'IMAGE' - MAG FOTOG IN DIRTY TRICK TO TURN POL 'EVIL' New York Post
Controversial celebrity photographer Jill Greenberg, a self-professed "hard-core Dem," deliberately took a series of unflattering shots of Republican nominee John McCain for the current cover of The Atlantic - and then bragged about it on a blog...
"I left his eyes red and his skin looking bad," she boasted
Greenberg also crowed that she had tricked McCain into standing over a strobe light placed on the floor - turning the septuagenarian's face into a horror show of shadows.
Asking McCain to "please come over here" for a final shot, Greenberg pretended to be using a standard modeling light.
The resulting photos depict McCain as devilish, with bulging brows and washed-out skin.
"He had no idea he was being lit from below," Greenberg said, adding that none of his entourage picked up on the light switch either. "I guess they're not very sophisticated," she said.....
Editor James Bennet said Greenberg behaved improperly and will not be paid for the session. He said the magazine is also considering a lawsuit.
ReplyDelete“She has violated the terms of our agreement with her, of our contract with her so we’re taking steps. So we’re looking into what steps we can see to do something about that,” Bennet told FOX News, adding that he is “already drafting a letter of apology” to McCain.
“I mean this photographer went in there under our auspices to take a cover shot for us … but while she was there she behaved in an incredibly underhanded and unprofessional way,” he said.
Greenberg’s dislike for the GOP is not new. In 2004, she held an art exhibit in Los Angeles in which she displayed pictures of toddlers crying with the caption “Four More Years.” Greenberg admitted she intentionally made the toddlers cry so she could create a visual slam against President Bush.
Bennet said the magazine’s editors don’t “vet our photographers for their politics” but looks at their “professional track record.”
I can see that point - why would the magazine have any reason to expect Bush Derangement Syndrome to mutate into this?
