"Big Mac attack!" roars fired-up, confused candidate

On a brisk fall day in Pennsylvania, before a crowd of several hundred supporters, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain made a bold prediction. "My friends, on November 4th, Senator Obama will face a Big Mac attack the likes of which he's never known - and I am that attack! My friends, the Big Mac is back, for a limited time only!"

The feisty underdog's passion spread to his mostly elderly fans, who cheered weakly and waved their arms at nearly every applause line or attack gambit. The Big Mac catchphrase, obviously held in reserve for just such a point in the campaign, found the greatest response, and so the elderly candidate ran with it.

"My friends, a Big Mac is a funny thing. A lot of layers there - a lot of surprises. It contains ingredients you never suspected were there, maybe didn't want to know were there. That's me all over, and my friends, let me say once again that the Big Mac has returned. I'm back!"

Obviously.

How embarrassing his behaviour is for him.

the mac is back,geez, give me a break.

Tears of laughter because I saw this crap. Rachel is all but laughing at Gramps come back.

:hi:

:spray:

:hi:

sounds like he's been hittin' the special sauce.

Redstone

why would he tell everyone that?

So McCain please go away.

1. You never look cool when you try to introduce your own new "cool" nickname.

2. Don't chose a metaphor for yourself that gives people digestive problems.

3. If you are running for office, don't pick a nickname that represents empty calories, no nutritional value.

I wonder if he has to pay McDonalds for use of their trademark.

Wasn't the President's name "Something MountDew Costco Target Gonzalez"? :rofl:

Mac Attack hahahahahahahahhaa.

:dunce:

I mean, I think it was yesterday - or the day before- that he laid it on thick about Joe the Tax Evading Alleged Plumber - including that Dear Joe is "an American hero" and "my role model".

And now he's comparing himself to a Big Mac?!

And he makes no sense! "ingredients...maybe didn't want to know were there"? Well, actually, that may be true since it has about 40 grams of fat and 1,200 calories.

(Good line about the "special sauce" too!)

Anyway, I'm sure Obama is huddled somewhere with his advisors, trying to figure out how to face this Big Mac attack, "the likes of which he's never known".

While I'm thrilled with the "limited time" admission. It can't be over soon enough.

McCain is two all beef patties, special sauce, cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun short of a Big Mac.

:headbang:

A big Mac? ARE YOU F'CKING KIDDING ME!

like 2 more days...

RL

He's comparing himself to a fast food sandwich?! :rofl:

:eyes:

Big Macs aren't good for you.

did it come from?

:D

Palin in the Mickey D clownsuit is an especially nice touch! And I'm not sure if McCain is about to tuck into those burgers, or if he just barfed them up as some sort of attempt at dialogue with his good buddies, the working class.

Good work!

:hi: Glad you got to see it... from your backyard. :D

Guess that makes Palin the fries.

They put the junk in junk food

Can we please limit this Big Mac to erm... 7pm on November 4th?

McCain isn't even speaking a foreign language and he's calling himself a fucking hamburger?!?

Lord, let Tuesday come quickly and let it be without question an undeniable landslide...

Burger King?

That's sort of disgusting, John.

On a lot of levels.

Or when he was calling Al Gore "Ozone Man"?

It was clear to me then that the wheels were coming off the Bush bus.

Same thing here. McCain's campaign jumped the shark a while ago, but this is just pathetic.

I don't think he thought that one through very well. Lol

Mmmmm.

Big mac my ass

Do you have a screen shot? What speech is this from?

That quote is money, I'd like to be able to pass it along.

-Hoot

I don't think it is. OP, could you help out a little here?

mcdonald's junkfood.

From every month to every three months I get a hankering for a Big mac. They really are not very good and are terrible for one's health but it is a deep itch and I have to scratch it.

First I get sick thinking about him, now I am going to be sick after eating the damn thing...

n/t

The lines aren't anywhere in the linked article, but I can kind of imagine him wigging out like this... it really does sound like him.

So I'm :rofl: either at your joke or at him--it's funny either way.
