McCain Holds Conference Call To Address Al Qaeda Endorsement

This morning, for reasons beyond understanding, the McCain campaign is going to have a conference call, in which they will presumably turn down the endorsement of al Qaeda. They'll also probably try to run a little bit of reverse-psychology jujitsu on the reporters, gathered for what will hopefully be the Greatest Campaign Conference Call of 2008. This stratagem was advanced, briefly, in the Washington Post article on this news, which included this statement: "Some terrorism experts said the support for McCain could be mere bluster by a group that may have more to fear from a McCain presidency." Who are, "some terrorism experts?" I'm guessing McCain adviser Randy Scheunemann, who will be doing the conference call.

Chances are, Scheunemann will lament the fact that al Qaeda doesn't spend enough time listening to Joe Biden, and everyone should probably take a drink at the almost certain invocation of Bill Ayers' name. Some reporter should probably ask Scheunemann why Barack Obama doesn't inspire the necessary hatred in our enemies to wake up every morning and go to their terror training camps to jam across those monkey bars with jihadist passion. Just words? Anyway, the bottom line is that John McCain probably wishes al Qaeda would have taken the time to sit down with Sarah Palin and listen to her qualifications before rendering their judgment.

Interesting. That washes out the backlash and misunderstanding of Biden's statement. They want McCain....­McCain is easier for the t-rrorists to attack.

[GreatDemocracy]

Your comment leds me to believe that your falling right into there plans.

[Moka11]

McCain should accept the endorsement and hold a rally in Afghanista­n/Pakistan­. Then he wouldn't have to go "all the way to the gates of hell" to get bin Laden.
He and Palin could handcuff bin Laden and bring him to "the Great Satan" America on his 'straight talk" express plane.
Lieberman, Palin, bin Laden, McCain, Linsay Graham, all at a press conference would "seal the deal" on a McCain presidency. )

[Ldyandrea]

OMG, that must be his super seekrit plan!

[jorge4u]

Perfect for an ad against McCain... "while Senator Obama is endorsed by a highly decorated General, Senator McCain is endorsed by America's #1 enemy for his erratic behavior..­."

[IowaKid]

OMG what else is in that bag of tricks. Is it beggers night yet?

[Lagniappe]

Well, I guess this trumps Biden's comment yesterday!

Along with that Bachmann woman and those bleach blond TV gasbags, these GOP "ladies" are the gift that keep on giving.

[Lagniappe]

These GOP "ladies" are the "grifts" that keep on "grifting"!

[Grunty1]

Get ready for the winning quote guys. With how often McCain has stumbled over his teleprompter given lines, we can expect him to say this today:

"I gladly accept the endorsement from Al Qaeda and hope that they will work closely with my adminstration.

[normalkid0615]

You know, Al Queda is SOOO right about McCain. They led Bush around the Middle East, and they are going to lead McCain right into Iran. Refusing to leave without Victory? Good luck Mccain. The war was long over.

[evekendall]

Of course, they're endorsing McCain. Republican foreign policy has been Al Qaeda's greatest recruiting tool!

[rich misty]

McCain probably lobbied for weeks to get that endorsement

[edwcorey]

Lotsa Teutons on McCain's committee. Socialism, no. National Socialism, yes.

[Decipherer]

You mean like that long-necked Pfartenhooter woman?

[Barackaroo]

[AmazedOne]

Thanks so much for the laugh !!!

I wouldn't be too sure. The depths at which the McCain people have been willing to sink to win this election, they just might just take up them up with an offer of arms.

[Decipherer]

Would make Iran - Contra look like a Sunday school picnic Oh, Ollie! You out there somewhere?

[theMightyT]

it's the old double 360 reverse half Cleveland Steamer with a Palin twist. a classic political manuever.

let's just hope they don't mess up the landing.

oh wait... it's C r a sh mac cain at the controls..­..

[Decipherer]

The East German judge gave them a "10."

[harriscrl3]

Why is he even addressing it? This is absolutely ridiculous.

Carol

[rockyb26]

exactly. why even draw attention to it? their campaign is awful.

GOBAMA!

[yoyobrit83]

I know. He should've just let it be and let people continue to think al qaeda is crazy.

[emily00011]

Probably going to tell everyone that a ter ror att ack is imminent. It's no time for being mr nice guy! He will suspend the campaign for this too.

[Ajita]

Because its an opportunity to make the American people afraid.... very afraid
