Fox Noise pundit: "Standing next to McCain, Obama will look like a stagehand"
Yeah, 'cause McCain is so damned impressive...

:sarcasm:

http://www.newshounds.us/2008/05/28/fox_news_pundit_says_obama_would_look_like_a_stagehand_next_to_mccain.php

Chalk up Kevin Madden, former aide to Mitt Romney and regular Hannity & Colmes guest, as the latest FOX News pundit to make a racially insulting remark about Barack Obama. In a Hannity & Colmes discussion last night (5/27/08) about John McCain’s invitation to Obama to visit Iraq together, Madden said, “I’ll tell you why (Obama) doesn’t want to go.... He would look like a stagehand standing next to (John McCain).” An astounded Alan Colmes suggested Madden apologize but he did not. With video.

Madden, who looks young enough to be serving in the military but isn’t, called Iraq “the most important theater in the war against terrorism.” He and chickenhawk Sean Hannity extolled the glorious success of our military operation there that Obama, according to them, is too naïve to understand.

The Democratic guest, Bob Beckel acknowledged the surge has brought about some success but asked, “To what end? I mean, what is victory? That’s the thing nobody – McCain can’t explain.” Neither of the war cheerleaders answered.

Near the end of the segment, Madden piped up with what seemed like a pre-planned line. “I’ll tell you why (Obama) doesn’t want to go. ‘Cause John McCain’s gonna go there and he would look like a Commander in Chief and Barack Obama will look like a stagehand standing next to him.”

And here's my impression of John McCain:

1. If Obama is the stagehand then McCain is the creepy old janitor.
You know, the one who lives in the basement by the boiler room.

Personally, I think I need a glass of wine.

7. Oh my
Another stupid remark...

Actually, standing side-by-side will not help McCain in the least. He'll look like an old and confused fuddy-duddy next to the energetic, engaged and intelligent Obama.

Which one would be able to tell you about the differences between Sunni and Shia, for instance? Which one is likely to have a better grip on the political situation there? Without Lieberman's prompting, McCain is an actor with no lines.

He looks like the old guy who has to be told to close his robe.

18. He should have said 'lawn jockey' that would have been clearer
Expect the dogwhistling to continue and increase as november approaches. The republican campaign theme, 2008 edition, will be 'Don't Vote For The N*'. They were all geared up for the other campaign theme, 'Don't Vote For the C*', but that didn't work out.

36. Wrong. McCain will look like a nursing home escapee
suffering from slight dementia and Obama will be the compassionate doctor who helps get him a ride home.
