McCain And Obama Hug It Out On Senate Floor

Washington Post's The Trail:

Sen. John McCain crossed the aisle in the Senate this morning to shake hands with Sen. Barack Obama, just a couple of political foes killing time during a vote-a-rama.

The two candidates spent a few minutes in animated conversation, with McCain doing most of the talking. He spoke forcefully at times, as Obama nodded at his GOP rival, a mild look on his face. When they said their goodbyes, they shook hands again and clasped arms in a modified man hug. The exchange was later recapped by McCain as "a friendly conversation, like you have with colleagues." He declined to provide details.

Hey I am sure he can get some other felons to endorse him: G. Gordon Liddy, Jack Abramoff etc.

I am not hoping for this, please God Don't allow this to happen, but I smell it in the air....

If it looks like the GOP/McCain aren't going to win the day - and it already looks that way - there maybe a False Flag op in the making to suspend the election...

Cheney and Dubya and co are facing a severe shitstorm if the Dems gain true majority control with a Dem POTUS.

Not necessarily North himself but folks LIKE North will have no problem doing something absolutely horrendus that will make a decade or two of crack sales for black budgets look insignificant in comparison. I have seen enough info including audio/video analysis of the WTC attacks to be reasonably certain that explosives were planted in the WTC - and that is black and frightening enough

They still aren't sure if there were six nukes on that plane that showed up at Barksdale last year or only five.... and that airplane was on its way to the ME when it was discovered on the tarmac at Barksdale.

Cheney and Dubya and co are so confident and so weird that one wonders what they have up their sleeves, what they know that we are soon to find out. Very, very creepy.

I wanna be wrong, please God, I wanna be wrong.

Duh if the military industrial complex doesn't get their match up ( McCain v. Clinton) then they will try... Notice, I said try the military won't-do it. The people won't stand for it.

Where do you come up with this crap?

And speaking of the unspeakable, when is McCain going to criticize the Bush administration on its treatment of Veterans? Oh, yeah...Ollie North.

Felons for McCain:

North
Poindexter
Abrams
Libby
Weinberg

Jailbirds for John

[abbiehoffmansghost]

Why would McCain want a felon, traitor, and opportunist like North on his side? Oh yeah....never mind.

[antaeus]

Now we wait for Powell's endorsement of Obama.

No honor among thieves .

Oliver North ran the black market in Vietnam. He was a traitor during Iran-Contra.
But these are the only heroes the Republicans have left.

Sad, sad, day for America.

[leftLibertarian]

Another criminal endorsing the war monger McSTain

[Bendersky]

Touting Oliver North? You mean the lying sack of sh*t who was at the front of one of the shadiest episodes in U.S. history? Small wonder McCian is proud. I think he left his scruples in that tiger cage in 'nam.

OK, because it won't be accepted if I post it under the HuffPo blogger's commentary...

The fictional character Ari Gold created the "let's hug it out bitch" phrase... but that fictional characters is heavily, heavily based upon real Hollywood uber-agent Ari Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel, and the person who is now posting here about Superdelegates and why he doesn't trust his brother?

Really -- he gets to post on HuffPo?

[Independent voter]

Oh now there's a real coup!

Who's next - Idi Amin?

[JinnRikki]

I understand Charles Manson's still undecided, wouldn't that be a feather in McLame's cap!

[desertdweller]

Ollie North - now there's a piece of work. He's a disgrace to the uniform of the United States Marine Corps and stupid enough to be Reagan's and Casey's patsy for Iran Contra. We can only judge McCain by the company he keeps. Who will be next to endorse McCain - ADM Poindexter?

[BUSHsurvivor]

Hug it out? Is that ghetto talk?
