McCain is Bob Dole in Disguise…He’s rehab his pen holding hand.

First Imus, now this. Since when have you people become so uptight that NO ONE can EVER make ANY joke of ANY kind ANYWHERE???

Get the FUCK over yourselves!

THAT’s not a campaign killer. Not a crazy outburst–more like a bad pun that he delivered, knowing it was a bad pun. Big deal.

I think the guy’s question was even more apalling. With all the information that is available on today’s international issues,the disaster that is the 2nd Iraq war, and the transparent greed and corruption that exists in our current admistration, how on earth can anyone still believe in the simplisitic and assinine notion of the axis of evil perpetuated by George Bush and his cronies? How on earth can someone suggest bombing the hell out of a country that has had nothing to do with 911 or the current wave of violence in the Middle East or the world at large. If the 2nd war on Iraq has taught us anything, it’s that we can not go to war on false pretenses and assumptions, especially with a country that has relative stability in an otherwise volitile region of the world.I can’t judge McCain’s response other than saying it was a bit tasteless. I would have to see how he responded to such a rediculous question. There’s not enough context to compare McCain to Dean. For all we know McCain might have been mocking the guy asking the question. And what’s scarier is the crowd’s reaction- clapping and rooting for that idiot.

Wow…you guys are getting desperate.

Word, mmd.

What a joke.

I’m assuming that his response would have changed the context of this statement, so you just omitted it.

Responsible journalism here.

If Howard Dean didn’t get a free pass for screaming in a loud room, why should McCain get away with this? Get Bent Josh.

You’re right TL, it’s much better to joke about bombing Iran than yell in a loud, crowded room.

Moron.

TPG

McCain was not “joking about bombing Iran.” He was joking about the suggestion of bombing Iran. I thought he was tweaking the guy who stood up and called for it.

PS. I am not big fan of McCain’s, and I always thought Dean’s yell was the least of his problems.

This is not a campaign killer. But McCain being the country’s most conservative douche a**hole is. Get rid of this guy.

I never understood why Dean screaming enthusiastically yet silly at his own campaign rally resulted in him dropping out. How did that make him less presidential than somebody who is blantantly incompetent than Bush.

As for McCain, there are more reasons than just this silly joke for him to drop out of the race. The main reason is that he sold out his integrity to Bush a few years back and have no interest in getting it back.

Big deal, its not gonna ruin the campaign. Creating something over nothing is this magazine’s forte.

I would have supported McCain in 2000, I don’t agree with all his stances but at least he would stand for something and stand up against his own party as much as the opposing for something called “ideals”…all but non-existant in politics. But that was then. After the Rove smear machine ran over him in the primaries, he seems to be taking a page from the dubya book for his current run…courting the christian-taliban, the chicken-hawk neocons,..etc. The Maverick is no longer.

You broke my dream world

Why would you guys vote for a guy who’s practically dead already?

McCain is a wishy-washy/former Bush puppet turned dog who bit the hand that fed him. It was only a matter of time before he said something stupid. The Howard Dean situation was blown completely out of proportion – showing ENTHUSIASM makes you insane? No, making a terrible joke to justify bombing ANOTHER country in that region – a place we shouldn’t have been in the first place is worse. Let’s destroy ANOTHER mid-eastern country’s way of life in the name of ‘patriotism’. THe guy’s an idiot, hopefully he’ll get what he deserves ..knocked out of the running.

Watch my balls………please!

Family-Country-Religion.Thats the order.In for the penny,in for the pound.McCains words are good PR.Let them think America is run by crazies.Kissinger used that tactic with N.Vietnam in Paris.

i like john mcain, just not as president – sometimes you need those old hardliners to add balance…
