I think a McCain breakdown is possible this week

[AllentownJake]

The Obama media coverage and the ensuing poll numbers are going to make his head explode. He's been getting angrier in interviews. I think he might just blow up at a reporter sometime in the next week.

1. Yes Please !! /nt

[gateley]

2. I second the "yes, please".

I can hardly wait until he announces his VP pick (if the stories are accurate and he indeed does this week) - and the media STILL will be all about Obama.

Like a fool, he's planning on making the "special announcement" when Obama is appearing in Berlin.

3. Can I help?

[ErinBerin84]

4. I hope so!

5. A McSame meltdown would be great.

The media no doubt would never show it. They'd be under orders not to. Just like the dead soldiers, if America doesn't see it, it doesn't exist.

6. He's showing his true UGLY colors!

[Hav]

7. "You little jerk!"

8. We do NOT want a McCain breakdown

Without McCain, the Repugs will drop an emergency candidate in place - Jeb Bush. Or they'll declare martial law and just stop the elections entirely.

11. Jeb Bush would be great!

The bigger the humiliation for Repukes this fall, the better.

12. My sentiments exactly. A mini-breakdown however, would be welcome- but

not until the first debate when we know the media will have no choice but to air it since it will be live.

My idea is for someone to ask him that same question the Veteran asked him a while back which questions how, as a Viet Nam vet he could have voted repeatedly AGAINST taking care of the returning veterans?

Or perhaps someone might ask him- live and on camera- something related to geography- like- which countries border Iraq?

We do not want a complete meltdown however because they will absolutely- drop someone else in right away. I'll bet they have someone standing by right now. They could also put Romney in place as the candiate and throw Jeb in as the VP. Anything is possible- martial law included.

13. Sadly, that's true

It'd be better to do a "Howard Dean" on him and blow his blowup through the echo chamber.

All we need now is an echo chamber.

16. Good. Jeb Bush would lose handily.

Bush fatigue.

[dipsydoodle]

9. Do knobheads like him explode

is simply just go limp :shrug:

[CountAllVotes]

10. he lost it the other day

he was at some event and a woman asked him some serious questions like (and I paraphrase), "You said bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. I take it this was a joke?" She then said we did not win in Vietnam and that she said that we had invaded Iraq.

Hence, ol' gramps had a fit and started saying, "Obama said this ..." and "Obama says this ...". I really thought he was going to lose it on the teevee. Close, no doubt.

Just a matter of time. tick tick tick tick tick ...

:dem:

14. Better now than

after he wins (which I don't think he will.)

Yeah, I want to see him blow up at someone big time for all the world to see. Of course the GOP will just spin it as McCain being "authentic" or "McCain being McCain". Or they will just blame the media for pissing him off.

McCain cannot think outside the box of there being a military solution for everything. Now that there seems to be a viable alternative to bombing the crap out of everyone we disagree with McCain is getting more and more testy.

15. McCain Cannot Think Outside The Box Because He Stands On A Box......

when he gives speeches. Last night on Countdown they had a clip of McCain giving a speech. I think it was story #3 on Countdown. McCain was behind the podium giving a speech and he was shown standing on a box to get him to reach the microphone. We need to get that pick and post it. It was really funny.


I found the clip from Countdown from last night.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#25789488

The pic is at 5:42 into the clip. Shows McCain standing on the box. Now I don't know how to just show that picture. Maybe somebody more adept at using a computer can isolate that shot and post it.

Also - unfortunately - this clip starts off with a short commercial for a dental product. I got the link from the MSNBC site.

17. Oh my, that is too funny

The debates should be priceless. McCain will have to get to the forum a couple of hours ahead of time and plant himself on his box behind his podium so no one really notices how much Obama towers over him.

Not that there is anything wrong with being short. Pretending you're tall is the problem.

[BrotherBuzz]

18. No, the bantam rooster is just going to dig faster and deeper

Never mind his shovel has a rope handle, either. Enjoy the antics.

[my3boyz]

19. Yes, please let him totally go off. The media would NEVER cover it as they did the

Dean scream BUT we would have footage to use in commericals against McCain.

[BklynChick]

20. I don't see how he's gonna hold it together over the next 4 months.. he's most definitely cracking

[SidneyCarton]

21. Part of me pities him.

My pity is not strong enough to want him to win, not by a longshot. That said, if he does do a total meltdown, we are seeing the destruction of a person, a person with whom I strongly disagree and never want in a position of authority, but a person nonetheless. The ruin of any man (or woman) is a reminder to me of how far I can fall.
