Politics – Houston, TX - Arizona Senator John McCain effectively clinched the 2008 GOP presidential nomination Tuesday, following Mike Huckabee's withdrawal from contention after the former Arkansas Governor lost major primaries in Ohio and Texas.
"Senator McCain's shortlist of possible VPs included NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., supermodel Heidi Klum, and recently retired football quarterback Brett Favre, but the final choice was clearly conceived to preempt any Democratic advantage achievable from a likely Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton pairing.
"I refuse to accept that you have to play the race cards you are dealt," Senator McCain said in Texas. "The opposition might have female, they might have black, but we'll be running Jewish, too."
ROFLMAO! :D
Now who's going to be the real VP pick?
I love Whoopi Goldberg though, for laughs, not for VP.
I would LOVE it if Colin Powell were his pick. Then we could say to Obama, "Who's your daddy now?" :D
AlphaGnosis----Hey AG, until you admit that "your prez" was a disaster, your credibility is nil. Your prez trashed Powell. So your prez is an idiot? Now you want Powell to run for VP? Maybe on the Democratic ticket. :-)
lol, wow, I can't even count all the ways your post is wrong. And illogical. ; )
Just asking. Do you still support Bush after what he did to Powell? Have you finally realized what a disaster Bush has been? I mean, you hold Powell in high regard. Do you forgive Bush for hanging him out to dry?
200 sinks, and that's early in the morning..
Later I might find it SERIOUSLY offensive.
If it was in "humour" it MIGHT seem about as funny as a monkey at the zoo, with an erection, picking its fleas.
The kind of thing that kids ask:"Mommy, mommy, what's that funny pink thing?"
To which the response is "Wouldn't you like an ice-cream dear" and a tug towards anywhere else.
Fuj!

"In a campaign season already boiling with controversy, the irritable yet grouchy McCain increased the heat on Democrats by naming his preferred Republican vice-presidential running mate.
"My friends," Senator McCain told several hundred supporters crowded into a Luby's cafeteria in Cypress, a Houston suburb, "this is an unprecedented opportunity to show how far the Republican Party has come, and how far we're willing to go. My choice for vice-president is Academy Award-winning actress and comedy star Whoopi Goldberg. She's female, black, and Jewish, and together we will win in November."
Nah, McCain will pick Jeff Gannon as VP. =P
Shouldn't this story be filed under the Humor Channel instead of the Politics Channel?
This isn't humor, it's for real!
Yes, it should be.
He is literally saying "There is nothing to Obama as a person, he is just a black guy or Hilary is nothing but just a woman." I think this is a huge insult. So shallow, he is degrading his two very respectable opponents to old fashion stereotypes. What a racist and misogynist. I think Clinton is the best of 3 because she got the best resume for god's sake. And Obama is a firmly emerging brilliant person who this 71 years old could only wish to have half of his genius. What a dirty, disrespectful language for his age. Big daddy should have known better that time of such discrimination is something of the past.
I'll say what I said on the main website. Really? Really? Sarcasm, people. Sarcasm. It's called dry, scathing wit. At least I hope so.
lmao, this thread is priceless.
