Roberta McCain Chimes In On Britney-Paris Ad

Sen. John McCain may be "proud" of the Paris Hilton/Britney Spears ad released this week, but his feisty 96-year-old mother apparently disagrees.

Roberta McCain was a featured guest at a McCain campaign event on Thursday afternoon at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC. The Huffington Post obtained some audio of an exchange after the event where Mrs. McCain is asked about the Paris Hilton ad.

"Oh, well, I didn't see it -- I think it's kinda stupid," she says. "I'm just too old-hat for it. In fact, the other two, I didn't even know who they were. I knew who Paris Hilton was, but then there were other two young girls..." (Someone informed Mrs. McCain that there were only two women in the ad, and that the other was Britney Spears.)

Within a few moments, Roberta was back on message. An acquaintance noted the statement from Rick Davis that was "going to be in the headlines tomorrow," criticizing Obama "for injecting racism into the campaign."

"Oh, he definitely did," Roberta responded.

This woman is 96 and laughed at ,for her speeding tickets,
they laughed at her in France when refused a hire car because
of her age.,So she went and bought a car HA HA very funny
What if this silly woman knocked someone down and injured them???
Can see where her son gets his sense of humour from.
She is not funny she is stupid,and he sits beside her like a little boy no wonder
he has women issues.

The straight talkin' apple and the straight talkin' tree.

She changed her tune, too, just like her a**hole son.

Id like to ask her how she reacted to the grades her son earned at Annapolis while taking up a slot that a brilliant but unconnected kid could have had.Id like to know who had better grades in high school and college,Johnny boy or Paris Hilton.We may as well be as silly as the McCain camp while at the same time showing that you can be stupid without being racist.

Its probably not a good idea to be getting his Mother involved in this campaign. She may look healthy, but at her age anything could push her over the edge. If he has a lick of brains, he will keep her out of the limelight.

Hell, if he had any brains, he'd realise he is nowhere near being qualified to hold down a responsible job in government! And, he's no spring chicken either. What are the odds he won't last till the age of 76, if he does get elected? That he would even consider running for president at his age is just one more piece of evidence that he is incompetent, in my opinion.

To say nothing of the fact that his father died when he was 70.

In a last ditch effort to drum up support for his failed campaign - John Hussein McCain brings his Mother out to campaign for him.

The first question I have for the El' Won is - Why on Heaven's Earth would you name a Christian boy Hussein?

[JenMI]

Isn't she special?

[MPeter]

At 96 and still has a clearer mind than her son. That is quite something. May be she should the one running for Prez.

McCain has begun the racial attacks by linking Obama to the white young party women. This is identical to the technique used by Republicans to take down the popular black senate candidate from Tennessee "Ford". Ken Melman (GOP money coordinator) paid for TV ads in Tennesse of a pretty young loose white woman saying she wants to party with the black candidate.

This time it is clear the GOP is at it again. Even McCain's mother knew there were 3 young party going women always in the news and was confused why the ad had only 2 of them. Britney and Paris are the 2 that are white. Nicole is mixed race, just like Obama.

The GOP is deliberately targeting racial resentment of black man with white woman. How else do you explain the fact the ad uses the 2 white women and leaves out the 3 woman who is mixed race?

Well..she's just as much on the take as he is, isn't she..!! What good does it do McSwine, when his mom is as much of an Alzheimer's victim as is he!!

[StarkRavingNakedEmperor]

Honest to Gawd! There is something unholy going on in that family! Mc Cain's "Ninety-six year old Mother" looks preternaturally youthful, Mc Cain looks like a tired, bent over, used up LOM (Lil' Ole' Man) next to her. She must dine on fetal stem cells on a nightly basis! And ever notice how EVERYONE in that family looks exactly alike? NO, I mean EXACTLY alike!?! There is apparently only one male--Mc Cain, and all of the women, from daughter, to wives, "mother" look like a spittin' image of him. We all know about this family's millions and we all know that somewhere on planet Earth the art of cloning is being perfected even as we speak--all for a price. They must have a family Clone Master on permanent retainer!

[DrCahill]

Or maybe she just has her real age picture in the attic! Maybe they all do - except for John Boy!

[gigi09]

Remember that there may be one daughter that doesn't quite look like her father...a different color!

[dadw5boys]

Mc Nuggets: See my momma loves me! Cindy's money lets her live really good.

[eXcommunicate]

If one didn't know what Cindy Mc Cain looked like, one could be forgiven for mistaking Johnny's mom for his wife in that photo. lmao

[genia]

L.....O......L..........................

[abby4ever]

Actually, Cindy looks even worse than that with her make-up off, she uses that stuff that stretches the skin to make wrinkles go away. But it only lasts a few hours, and then...

[FACINGREALIT]

Just a little off on her talking points with the idea that the ad contained three women but she is better than her son because at least she admitted the ad was STOOPID. She should spank his hand!

[chronic]

Lord they look the same age!!

And look at McStains phoney smile.....its starting to make me sick with his yellow teeth and all.

[000Jade000]

Yep. That was going to be my comment. Wow.

[elcojonu]

The Mc Desperate campaign is turning into a Carnival Side Show. Clearly he's not ready for prime time.
I'm going to enjoy this election.

[roneckley16823]

You are right elcojonu. I can't wait for the debates. Then we will see the McCain confusion. Maybe momma can come and hold his hand. Have you noticed, he still relies more on his momma than his wife. Whats that all about.

[atciii]

carnival side show is right, its actually becoming entertaining. some people dont like his nehative attacks, but they are so comical and stupid i hope he keeps coming with them. we have more than 90 days to go!!! i want to see how low he can go if he has sunk this far this early. get the popcorn, this is going to be fun!!!

[PackyJ]

What's sad is that McCains's "feisty 96-year-old mother" has a sharper intellect than he does.
