Saturday Night Live: John McCain’s Campaign Ads (McCain Approves Open)

3:13 am EST September 21st, 2008 | Politics | 6 Comments

SNL really captures how McCain has debased himself and America in pursuit of the brass ring of the presidency.

Also, the sketch about the “liberals” at the New York Times was quite funny. It did what traditional conservative humor doesn’t – critique liberals from a conservative point of view while being funny.

    “SNL really captures how McCain has debased himself…”

    Sorry to contradict, OW. The sketch implies that McCain is some naive schlub misled by admen and not the intentional, daily liar he is. See Frank Rich in the Sunday Times for insight into the lies as a carefully considered strategy–lobbing propaganda over the heads of the “filter.”

    [...] I had better things to do than watch SNL last night, but via Oliver Willis, I did manage to see the lead-off sketch about McCain’s negative advertising. Like last week’s Sarah Palin opener, it was [...]

    Abso-stinking-lutely. With any kind of luck, he’ll be a senator next year, and if he is I couldn’t be happier. He’s another of those really smart guys, Harvard Cum Laude, the GOP doesn’t like.

    What is it that the GOP has against intelligent candidates? Is it because they’re all Democrats?

    The truth of this is what cracked me up. McCain will do whatever he can to win.

    It’s why he selected Sarah Palin, it’s why he suspended the debate to “work on this crisis”, and it’s why the GOP (Grand Oil Party) wants to have the debate rescheduled for October 2nd so Palin doesn’t loose her October 2nd debate with Joe Biden by slaughter rule.

    I just wonder the lengths he’ll go to from here. It appears McCain will sell his soul for the Presidency. I don’t believe the guy to be a bad man, I just don’t think, at all, he has the necessary spectrum of intelligence and insightful wisdom to analyze difficult problems and find the best solutions for America.

    But I do believe him to be a fighter. I do believe he will do everything he can not to loose. I do believe that is the same mindset that got him through his 5-years in captivity.

    With Bush and Cheney it was the good ol’ boy network. Everyday it seemed policy was being set to ensure powerful companies benifit at the expense of the people. Unfortunately, those same companies haven’t returned the favor for America.

    With poor decisions like these, we’re now we’re paying 4x what we were in gasoline prices, other industries suffer at the loss of income being spent on energy, Exxon, BP, Shell, Chevron and other companies get to reap 60% of the oil booty in Iraq for the $2 billion a month we’re paying to make it so and this quest for profit was sold to us under the guise of terrorism. Perhaps they felt we needed a presence in the Middle East too, but in any case, I’m sickened.

    Right now I just want a complete change of the sheets as I’m overcome by the filth and the stench of current party’s decisions and what those decisions have done to weaken America.
