McCAIN, REJECTED BY HIS SENATE COLLEAGUES, VICIOUSLY LASHES OUT AT SENATOR OBAMA

The overwhelming veto-proof approval of the bipartisan GI Bill is being looked at by the media as a slap in the face for Bush. And it was. But a far worse message was delivered-- by his Republican colleagues-- to John McCain. He was close to psychotic today when he found that the final tally, 75-22, had more Republicans voting with Obama and Clinton than with him. He had personally appealed to the Senate caucus to hold together on this and not let the Democrats make him look like an idiot. With the exception of a bunch of Bush Regime dead-enders and his own yippy-yappy gay South Carolina lapdog, the Republicans in the Senate caucus abandoned him in droves-- especially the ones who are up for re-election in November. They have all seen the value of his coattails writ large after the special elections in Illinois-- where he staked all his prestige on Oberweis-- and in Mississippi, where every single Republican household got an automated phone message from McCain. When Obama gently criticized McCain for trying to force fellow Republicans into filibustering a popular measure to give veterans a fair shake, McCain exploded in paroxysms of venomous psychosis. Before we go over his mental breakdown, here's what he was reacting to:



McCain treated that like a declaration of war, which is exactly how he treats anyone disagreeing with him about anything. On a day when all the newspapers were talking about how his campaign is overrun with crooked lobbyists whose sleazy clients are paying them to get his favors, and on a day when McCain denounced the religious right again and severed his relationships with Reverend Hagee and Reverend Parsley, two avatars of modern day Republicanism, and on a day when the Senate voted overwhelmingly against him on an issue he (quite disingenuously) claims to be an expert on, McCain just lost it, lashing out at Obama and showing the two-bit thug side of his personality he is always trying to keep under wraps.



UGLY! I wonder how many Republicans who have to run with him on top of the ticket are starting to feel some buyer's remorse about now. Many senators were embarrassed and one GOP solon said it was the most vicious personal public attack he had every heard in his 18 years in the U.S. Senate. McCain seems to be coming apart-- the campaign hasn't really even begun and he's already unhinged. But everyone knows, especially his wife (who he publicly called "a cunt") that he's on a hair-trigger.

As usual Obama was cool, calm and collected in his response to McCain's personal nastiness.

He's not respected by his colleagues. I read somewhere that the Republicans are terrified that when the Democrats finally decide on a candidate and their attention is turned to McCain, the country will see how weak McCain really is.

I can't wait.

for the road tour of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!" Just sitting behind the stars drooling and mumbling to himself. (Of course he could understudy the Nurse Ratched role.)

He has got it easy right now because the country's attention is diverted but just wait until after the convention and he won't know what hit him. That he is railing against his own party members is just too delicious.

responses to his blustering. This is a great post and I happily K&R...

To me, that gratuitous anti-gay slur shitcanned the effectiveness of the whole piece. Dude needs an editor, stat. Would have been even more appropriate an image without the 'gay' remark: 'yippy-yappy South Carolina lapdog'.

Fucked up an otherwise well-written piece.

I apologize. I certainly can't condone that wordage.

:patriot:

i can't look at it. eek.
