Soon, the worst president in the history of the solar system will step into oblivion.

On that day, I will listen to the Ninth, drink myself a bottle of Bourgogne and reflect on the past 8 years : Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, Gonzales, Libby, Wolfowitz. At that moment, I will probably Jacksonpollock all over my rug, but I won't care.

This one photo will save Hillary a fortune in political ad agency fees... all they have to do is hang it on the screen for 28 seconds with "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" playing as the audio bed.

My Caption Idea:

Who said hugs don't have happy endings?

McCain reminds me of a guy that sells crack, or smack for a living, he seems nice enough , but what he sells kills people.

JOHN MCCAIN'S "I WUV YOU, MR. PRESIDNET" HUG...


The Dems could "Swift Boat" McCain with that photo alone, plus the one of him striding through the Baghdad market followed by a U.S. Army company and a fair amount of close-air support....

McCain is toast. He got in physical contact with the anti-Midas evildoer.

"Women shoud listen and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve."- Timothy 2:11-13

"I will leave your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your carcasses. the river beds shall be filled with your blood. When I nuff you out, I will cover the heavens, and all the stars will darken."- Ezekiel 32:5-7

It's the kiss of death from Mr. Stinkfinger.

time and place should appear *with* their respective images. it is not at all clear if the hug-a-thon pictured on this page is that same old image of Bush/McCain or if it is a new one.

i'm a bona fide Hillraiser, so, frankly, i can't stand to look at either one of these guys, but i seek clear, clean, constructive communication that enables voters to make an informed choice. we should consider the power of imagery just as seriously as we consider the power of words. this picture, without context, amounts to a "pictorial soundbite" and "soundbiting" is a precursor to swiftboating.

if we want better politics, we should demand better information.

Commentary from a Rove journalist mouthpiece:

"The word is that he (McCain) wouldn't have made the grade as a naval aviator had not his father and grandfather been flag officers, but that's beside the point.

McCain was awarded a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals, two Purple Hearts and a dozen service awards. Unfortunately the narratives for the awards only speak of his having undergone extreme mental and physical cruelties at the hands of his captors, and were described as "boilerplate" and "part of an SOP medal package given to repatriated (Vietnam-era) POWs" by Naval officers Hack interviewed.

The medals were basically given out for being there, not for heroism.

The problem here is not that McCain didn't have terrible things done to him for a long time -- he did. The problem is that neither he -- nor anybody else who was in prison camp -- had a choice about whether they were endangered. But medals for heroism are supposed to be given out for actual heroic action, taken willfully and at great personal risk.

They shouldn't be awarded simply because someone survived an involuntary ordeal.

And didn't survive it as well as many others. McCain was quoted as saying "O.K, I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital" four days after his capture and later signed a confession declaring himself a war criminal. And although McCain refused an early release, the word is that he was ordered to do so by his U.S. POW commander.

It was unquestionably a long, painful nightmare for McCain to log all that time in a North Vietnamese prison and, for that, he deserves genuine sympathy -- the kind of sympathy you reserve for someone who survived a five year battle with cancer. And the experience may (or may not) have made him a better person. But based on the facts, he's not a war hero. And it speaks poorly of him to let his handlers promote him to the public in that way."

McCain will do anything to become President. That picture is a good indication of his values and morals. He is hugging a man who slandered his service record and his family because he knows that by being friends with Bush is the easiest and fastest way to get the Repuke nomination. The man is not willing to fight for those he claiMcCain will do anything to become President. That picture is a good indication of his values and morals.

Regardless of how bad, evil, criminal, etc., we think the GOP is,
our problem now is that they're united and we Dems are divided.
There are seven states voting over the next three weeks w/ half
of the candidates up for grabs this weekend. Following that, the
states of Tx, Oh, Vt & RI vote/caucus on Tuesday, March fourth.


It is imperative that Democrats not go all the way to convention
continuing to fight over who leads the party into the next decade.
We must not allow this to devolve into another, Chicago 1968!

Wow the majority of the comments are right on. That photo of the DEVEL hugging Mcinsane is classic. It should be used by the Democrates as a back stop in there debates, on buses, bill boards etc. The truth is out. Realy I'm not surprised but to cozy up to Bush, the worst President, a disgrace to the office, McCane has realy cooked his goose now, friends. Well his goose was already cooked, now its well done or burnt. Good riddens, Cheney too. They should be on trial for what they have done to this country with there half truths and all. I wonder what there net worth is now? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

"Bu$h steps into race". How ironic. Because after he he was appointed or coronated as "President" by the Supreme Court in 2000, the United States has been doing nothing but stepping in shit the last seven years or so. Very apropos as Dumbya Bu$h and his followers are full of shit.
