Anyone that funny should be a Democrat!

Who else saw him on the Daily show last night? It was hilarious?

6. Just...interested in American politics then?
That's cool. I'll bet you 95% of Americans don't know Canada has 10 provinces and 2 territories.

10. Hell, I'm in the US, and I still have trouble naming all 50 states
and I'm not sure about how many territories we have.

Not bragging about the US. Just showing that I am able to admit my failings.

13. Those Canadians lied to me in 1990
They said NW Territory and Yukon were the two. F'ing Canadians.

16. At the time, they were...
Nunavut was created in... 1994, I think. Basically the CDN govt. renamed a chunk of pretty empty NW territory and made it an Inuit (Eskimo) homeland.

At least I THINK that's what it was all about... anybody? Anybody?

17. The only thing I don't like about Canadians...
Well...this is for anyone who has ever traveled abroad and stayed in youth hostels. But...every single Canadian has that stupid-ass maple leaf on their backpack and when I ask "why does every single Canuck have that maple leaf leaf on their backpack?"

Every single time, the same answer: "We don't wanna be confused for Americans"

Attitude much?

But with Bush in office, can't say I blame them. What an embarrassment. Don't people (Canadians included) know that I didn't vote for that wacko?

4. I believe he's just plain fed up
with the lies and deception of his fellow Pukers. He doesn't seem to belong to that bunch. After all, he's a decorated war hero and a man of ethics.

7. And yet. he's heading to NH on Monday to "support George Bush."
At least that's what he said on the DS last PM.

He knows where his bread is buttered. Besides, if he went D, would Arizona send him back to Congress? I doubt it.

9. I don't like his politics...
...but he's a funny guy. Who did they have to threaten to get him to stump for Bush, because it's clear he neither likes nor respects him.

12. I like to think of him as our mole, our man Flynt.
The absolute vitriol with which he addressed W's idiotic SotU! The 40 pounds of irony in his voice as he intoned "I'll be there supporting GWB, Jon," as if to conclude with "because they're holding my wife hostage..."

What a different, better world if he had been the nominee. Gore vs. McCain would've been the first win/win for voters in the country's history. Thanks again, Karl Rove, for the push polling in my state which prevented that from happening. If Satan has a sense of irony, he'll stick you in a replica of McCain's tiger cage when you finally clutch your heart and keel over your piles of cash. Bastard.

15. Why does McCain have to be a Republican?
Could it be because of his hard-right political views?

20. Anyone who wants campaign finance reform is ok with me.
McCain is quite serious and sincere about reforming our corrupt finance system. Good for him...and Russ Feingold.

21. yep

23. More pointless McCain worship...


Nevermind that the man would love to slit all of our throats...

He was a war hero so that gives everyone a hard on, and makes them forget that he is furthur right than Bush,

The only thing he is attacking Bush on is spending, and funding programs like Medicare and SS. He wants to eliminate both.

At the end of the day McCain is a far right whore and he will never back up his words with meaningful action.

For the thousandth time...FUCK MCCAIN.
