I actually saw this Photo and thought someone had photoshoped it. So I passed right pass it. But, if this is a real picture of McCain actual conduct after the debate I have no idea what to say. What is wrong with McCain? Is he really ill?

[JohnFromCensornati]

The photo is hilarious, but you need to see the video clip to understand that the picture is out of context. He was trying to get around the desk to shake hands with the moderator. Danced left & right and felt embarrassed.

[LibDrummer]

Yes, and that clip shouuld be run over and over, right next to the clip of Bush not knowing which way to go on stage either. History repeats itself again.

[HallStyle]

He should feel embarrassed. This is the second STRAIGHT DEBATE when he has done this. He got in the way of Tom Brokaws Tele Prompter in the last debate and had to go the other way.

He is a SAD, SAD JOKE. And if elected the rest of the World Leaders will look at him WORSE then they look at George Bush! I promise! They don't respect BUSH for his NeoCON Foreign Policies. And they WANT RESPECT John McCain for continuing George BUSH's FAILED NeoCON Foreign Policies.

And, this photo is around the WORLD!

Should McCain be elected President, there will be a CRISIS of CONFIDENCE!

After 2 Bush terms, people around the WORLD are looking for Americans to make a CHANGE from the policiies of the REPUBLICAN Party.

The WORLD is in an Economic Crisis, we do NOT need a CRISIS of CONFIDENCE & LEADERSHIP as well.

VOTE OBAMA TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE & LEADERSHIP!

BARACK OBAMA has the potential of being one of the GREAT Presidents in History!

This photograph proves without doubt, that man DID indeed evolve from apes--no matter what Sarah Palin says.

[Rog49Thomas]

There is of course a contrary theory that some are devolving from man to ape.

And some would argue ample proof if you study the behavior of attendees at a certain political party's rallies.

[Rog49Thomas]

A banana republic usually has colorful characters as its leaders.

In some it's guys who love to dress up in uniforms and give themselves fancy titles.

In others well the theme is more the circus than the military.

Bring on the clowns!

[IMissAmerica]

Oh dear. It looks like he is ready to jump on O's caboose. Watch out for the Crypt keeper Barack!

Hmmm.... now his close friendship with Lindsay Graham makes more sense.....

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

Okay. THIS has been my "laugh of the day" post. Thanks.

[Libertynjustice4all]

I honestly thought that this photo had been doctored until I saw the actual footage.

[LynndaMaree]

This is the funniest picture of McCain that I have seen to date. He looks like he is trying to grab Senator O's butt. lol lol

[Dolzakhyron]

there is just something i wanted to point out.

John Mccain is looking at something, and looking as if he was about to grab it too.

i swear, Mccain is a pervert. he is "checking" Obama out!

[donttasemebro]

That's ridiculous. The angle of the camera makes it look like he's looking at O, but if you watched the footage from the front of the stage, you could see that he was actually looking out into the audience. The fact that someone caught this moment on camera from that angle, is hilarious, and a gem of photography, but nothing more.

Little things stick to people. One reason G. H. W. Bush lost to Clinton was that he had becoma joke by throwing up a state dinner while touring Asia a few months before the election. That shouldn't really have mattered, presidents are human too, but it dd, people saw it as emblematic for Bush's foreign policy that had lot its way after the Gulf War, and was especiaily waffling where China and Japan were concerned.. This photo will stick, too. A hunched over, sickly looking MCain grabbing Obama's butt while sticking his tongue out is a perfect visual metaphor for McCain's current campaign.

[Ged2012]

It would be great if that pix make it to Time Magazine's front cover--on November 5th.

[lecanardroti]

This almost looks like a tribute to Klaus Kinski's Nosferatu the Vampyre.

[mooses4obama]

New dance craze, do the McCain Shuffle:

A perverse pleasure... great job!

The "handicapped" poster especially cracked me up ha ha

You can remind those who commented that they need to keep a sense of humor.

I'm still laughing!

[LynndaMaree]

This is hilarious. I'm still laughing. lol lol lol

[klo]

I repeat.
Don't be fooled.
This election is not in the bag. There are17 days left. Please keep your eyes on the ball.

Vote early.
Vote early.
Vote early.

[oneeyedodin]

And often!

[kadene]

Don't need to. Haven't you felt the wave?

[wdw101]

you first need to register often

[heartsick]

Don't be fooled by the Republican Machine's attacking ACORN! The effort is just an attempt to hide their plans for voter suppression in the Swing States. (They already have a Court Order signed by a Republican judge that allows Ohio to questions 200,000 newly registered voters.) As an American, that is what should be of concern to you. What happens when and if you become the target of such vile voter supression efforts? It's just un-American and un-Democratic!

[957]

funny stuff, rather have a guy with a scene of humor instead of some of the politicians who act like they never farted in their life, only I don't think Mr. McCain should be president, I applaud his humor.

[imsosure]

I've often wondered what Cindy saw in this guy, looks very cunning.

[longislandlol]

Actually--on this one I beg to differ-when she met him-- he was a dashing early 40's guy-- who despite the prison tortures in Nam-- was really a hero- and he looks better in tuxes and navy uniforms than regular wear--- she met him at a party where he was all dressed up with medals and I saw this photo-- he looked quite handsome--

[imsosure]

That's wonderful, and that was then and this is now. Tine to get with the program. I have a uniform full of military ribbons too but I don't go on national television in my street clothes while in preparation of a debate for president of the United States with my tongue hanging out as if I were hot for the guys tail I was following. That old military axiom, lead, follow or get out of the way, it's time for McCain to get out of the way. I'd be nice if he took Palin along too, these two are embarrassing to say the least.

[normathumb]

mmmmm....flies...mmmmm

[cnick]

Don't we already have a President who makes foolish faces all the time, I can't take 4 or 8 more years of this.

[Vern58]

What sort of a childish fuul heads the Republican Party? What sort of a President do you think this man would make?

[StephenJK]

Come on. This is hilarious. It just goes to show you that McCain can make fun of himself. He may not be fit to be POTUS but, he can make me laugh and I respect that.

[betweenextremes]

Agreed. If last night were a debate, McCain would've won. He was funny as hell. But being funny doesn't quarantee for making a good President, and there's still the Palin factor...

[StephenJK]

"Palin factor"

End of story. He lost the moment he chose her as running mate. And I have a decent mind to think he liked it that way. I don't think John McCain likes the GOP very much after 2000.
