A preview of Nov. 5?

Fun Stuff

Let’s hope so; we already expect the Republicans to try to steal the election, so holding one’s breath is a given, even with a campaign imploding as deliciously as McCain’s. This winner comes to us via Shakesville, created by reader Schmiss:

Now someone has to come up with a creative animated GIF of McCain/Palin and crew on Nov. 5.

That’s not from Zoolander, is it?  Because that scene doesn’t end well.

Comment #1: Mikey  on  10/21  at  11:48 AM

What’s HRC doing up front? She’s got nothing to gain from an Obama win other than a sane president. Anyway, LULZ regardless.

Comment #2: kaje  on  10/21  at  11:48 AM

I love the expression on Michelle Obama’s face.  It’s exactly the same face I make when I’m chair dancing.

Two days after it became clear that Hillary didn’t have the numbers to become the Democratic nominee, I had a good cry, bought my first Obama sign and button, and started distributing Obama door-hangers as part of my dog-walks.

I’d like to think that this party will end up as united as the people in that .gif.  I like the sound of President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Supreme Court Justice Clinton.  (Knocking wood furiously!)

Comment #3: Beast  on  10/21  at  11:50 AM

Yes Clinton for Supreme Court please. Give the Senate seat to Bill. That would make the Republicans so crazy to have to deal with a Clinton for life.

Comment #4: Ben D.  on  10/21  at  11:53 AM

That is fucking awesome!

Comment #5: Mark  on  10/21  at  11:55 AM

Why’s Hillary there? She’s rooting for McCain.

Comment #6: Dan in Denver  on  10/21  at  11:55 AM

Can we get one with crazy PUMAs Larry Johnson, Darragh Murphy, Lynn Forrester de Rothschild and Larry Sinclair committing suicide together?

Comment #7: moron  on  10/21  at  11:57 AM

Hillary has been strong for Obama.

It’s Bill that’s been lukewarm (exception: convention speech).

Comment #8: Ben D.  on  10/21  at  11:58 AM

Orange mocha frappucino!

Comment #9: Wehaf  on  10/21  at  12:00 PM

“—What’s HRC doing up front? She’s got nothing to gain from an Obama win other than a sane president.—”

As a powerful US Senator who has her own agendas to pass, that’s a big fucking deal.  I know this may come as a shock, but Hillary doesn’t just want to become President because she likes having the title in her name.  She actually has political missions to accomplish - universal health care, women’s rights, business friendly economic policy - and those missions will be impossible with McCain in the White House.

Comment #10: Zifnab25  on  10/21  at  12:03 PM

Now someone has to come up with a creative animated GIF of McCain/Palin and crew on Nov. 5.

I suggest they start with material from “The Chronicles of Riddick”.

Comment #11: Eric, Rejector of Memez  on  10/21  at  12:06 PM

I also really like the Clinton/Obama mochachino-clink, as if they’re toasting each other.

To be honest, I think one reason Obama is running such a strong campaign is that he had such a good sparring partner.  And I think one reason McCain is imploding so badly is that he just sort of swept his way into the nomination without a real fight, and in fact has had to run very few hard-fought campaigns in his political career.

Comment #12: The Opoponax  on  10/21  at  12:09 PM

Omg that is AWESOME!

Comment #13: Lisa KS  on  10/21  at  12:09 PM

Not as hip, but I’d choose that last scene from “Thelma and Louise.”  You know - the one where they come to the conclusion that resistance is futile, hit the gas, and ride that convertable straight into the Grand Canyon.  It can be McCain’s last favor to the state of Arizona.

Comment #14: Beast  on  10/21  at  12:11 PM

So who will sit in the seat next to McCain ready to go over the cliff with him—we have a lot of options: Palin, queen Lindsey Graham, Holy Joe…the list of choices is endless!

Hey, that was a big vehicle.  I think we could also squeeze in Bachmann and a whole slew of right-wing pundits; Rush, O’Reilly, Beck, etc…

Comment #16: Beast  on  10/21  at  12:19 PM

McCain/Palin gif:

“Toonces! Look out!

AAAAAAH!”

Comment #17: Viceroy Matt  on  10/21  at  12:25 PM

Last night I started worrying that Obama will lose.  I can’t shake it. 
Everyone get out and volunteer!

I’ve got some bad news for you - I don’t think Palin is going away.  She’s young, she’s charasmatic to herbase, she’s now got a national profile, and your country is in for some pain in the next decade.  i think she’s going to retain a permanent base.

Possibly even to the point of being an Alaskan Jesse Helms.

Comment #19: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  10/21  at  12:35 PM

What did Jill Biden do that she got replaced by HRC?

Comment #20: Josh  on  10/21  at  12:35 PM

Orange mocha frappuCCINO!

Joe Biden looks like he just got a spray-on tan.

Comment #21: Amanduh  on  10/21  at  12:35 PM

I did better than that yesterday, Isabella.

I voted!

Took the baby, as I have to do.  Discovered the library was surprisingly busy for midday.  Asked an election judge if they’d been busy, and was told they were very busy every day.  Sometimes it was crazier in the morning, sometimes in the evening, but very busy every day.

Toddler got to push the button for Obama/Biden.  I always let the baby push the buttons/pins when I vote.  Son voted for Gore at 3 months.  Daughter voted for Kerry at 7 months.  This one had to wait a whole 21 months for her chance, but I’m hopeful that third time’s a charm.

Please, please, please let me have my country back.

Comment #22: Caren-Sun-blocking Creator of Animorphic Pancakes  on  10/21  at  12:36 PM

...maybe it’s just me, but, were I inheriting the chaos that is our great nation, I would not be dancing in a car while drinking an orange mocha frap.

However, I might very well douse myself in gasoline and commit suicide.

Obama’s a good man, and I admire him for being willing to take this on, but fuck - it’s nuts.  I think this picture  is a fairly accurate representation of the real situation.

But that is still hilarious.

Comment #23: Atheist Feminazi  on  10/21  at  12:45 PM

McCain and Palin will probably go moose-hunting with Bush and Cheney to commiserate about the demise of the Republican Party.  Tragically, the well-lubricated Cheney will accidentally shoot them in the face.

Comment #24: Frederick  on  10/21  at  12:45 PM

Well, INTPagan, I admit you have to be a bit crazy to take on the disaster W is leaving in his wake, but it’s also very patriotic.

Letting the crooks and war profiteers continue to rob and profiteer and kill people will end the republic.  I see them as celebrating the salvation of the country—> yeah, it will be hard work (It’s HARD to be the Pretzeldent) but at least someone is attempting to fix things instead of stealing everything not nailed down while setting the place ablaze. 

His job is even harder since he doesn’t plan on being a dictator.

Comment #25: Caren-Sun-blocking Creator of Animorphic Pancakes  on  10/21  at  12:59 PM

Look, FDR even smiled when he won in 1932 in the midst of the biggest crisis ever.

Comment #26: Ben D.  on  10/21  at  01:03 PM

Oh, Caren, I think it’s incredibly patriotic, too.

I just know that I have a hard time cleaning up my own child’s vomit without getting sick, so I can’t imagine taking on this country right now.  That takes super patriotism.  And the picture does make sense in that context; however, I do also halfway wonder how much they can actually do to make it right. 

From the posts I’ve made here I probably sound like a lukewarm Obama supporter, and I assure you that I am ardent, too - it’s just that…damn.  You know?

That didn’t dampen my excitement at going to early vote yesterday, though.

Comment #27: Atheist Feminazi  on  10/21  at  01:03 PM

OT, but while I was hearing a lot of pro-Prop 8 ads on the radio here in SoCal a couple weeks ago, I’m now hearing (on the same stations) a whole lot of anti-Prop 8 ads — and it’s about time. 

Please Jesus, let’s get the hate defeated…

Comment #28: MikeEss  on  10/21  at  01:06 PM

Yeah, but orange mocha fraps?  That’s some hardcore celebrating.

Comment #29: Atheist Feminazi  on  10/21  at  01:07 PM

Hillary’s there because this image was originally created and spread around the net right after the Convention.  It made a more sense then, because she was (awesomely) up front and center supporting Barack.

Comment #30: ryan  on  10/21  at  01:08 PM

I’d choose that last scene from “Thelma and Louise.” You know - the one where they come to the conclusion that resistance is futile, hit the gas, and ride that convertable straight into the Grand Canyon.

That was a Maverick move if there ever was one!

Comment #31: Ms Kate  on  10/21  at  01:29 PM

I strongly suspect that HRC is there because she picked Biden for Obama.

Comment #32: Ms Kate  on  10/21  at  01:30 PM

Yeah but why would you want to despoil the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon with his remains, no one is going to clean it up you know - well maybe the coyotes but I don’t know that they would eat him.

Comment #33: j swift  on  10/21  at  02:42 PM

...maybe it’s just me, but, were I inheriting the chaos that is our great nation, I would not be dancing in a car while drinking an orange mocha frap.

Agreed, but this nation has shown tremendous resilience throughout it’s history - we survived Hoover and Nixon, after all - I trust we’ll be OK (assuming Obama wins).  It may take some time and people will need to temper their need for instant gratification, but give it a little bit of time and we’re gonna see things get better.  I have to believe that.

Comment #34: DTG in STL  on  10/21  at  02:45 PM

They better blitz the dang airwaves over the next two weeks.  I refuse to accept that Californians will vote to annul Ellen Degeneres’ marriage.

Comment #35: keshmeshi  on  10/21  at  03:04 PM

I DON’T USUALLY make political decisions-or any kind of decisions- aound the issue of “what will make my enemies crazy”....B*U*T….

OMFG

How I would L*O*V*E to make the Republicans crazy with a LIFELONG HILLARY CLINTON SUPREMEM COURT JUSTICE!!

of course, now that I have thought abou tit, she WOULD be a G*R*E*A*T Supremem COurt Justice…...and it would be even MORE fun that being Preznit…

OH MAN!!  HILLARY FOR SCOTUS!!!!

Comment #36: KMTBERRY  on  10/21  at  03:50 PM

It’s needs a sountrack: I nominate Mcfadden and Whitehead’s “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now.”

Comment #37: mat  on  10/21  at  03:55 PM

Hm.

How about the sequence from Aliens where the marines are going into the hive under the reactor and they’re all looking worried and confused and all of a sudden aliens pop out of the walls and eat them all?  And there’s plenty of marines, so you can get McCain and Palin and Liebermann and, oh, hell, Gingrich and Romney and all the rest in there, too.

Comment #38: NBarnes  on  10/21  at  05:21 PM

yes, but if McCain and Palin win, it would look like the “Dude! .... Sweet!” scene from “Dude, where’s my car?”


///hey, McCain / Palin loosing- it would be the scene from “Shaun of the Dead” where the zombies break into the Winchester, and that dude from the National Review gets dragged out the window and eaten, his mom has to be put down because she didn’t want to be a bother, but she’s voting for Obama, and his best friend (Colin Powell?) gets zombified and spends the rest of his post-life experience working retail.

Or perhaps something from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”

Comment #39: Indy  on  10/21  at  05:24 PM

The McCain/Palin version should be from the end of that scene in Zoolander.

Comment #40: keshmeshi  on  10/21  at  09:31 PM

I suggest we have the McCain-Palin ticket, along with their moronic campaign managers and idiotic surrogates go out in flaming destruction like that classic multiple vehicle pile-up from “Final Destination 2”.  We’ll be kind and let the kids survive - maybe they can find a nice family to adopt them.

Comment #41: CParis  on  10/21  at  09:53 PM

SEND MONEY. The evil monied Christianist interests are very well-funded and are heavily outspending us. We can’t run a blitz by agreeing to pay in eggs and IOUs. The best thing you can do is donate money to No on 8.

Re McCain/Palin - jesus, people, wishing death on the enemy is something *they* do, eh? I much prefer the picture of them sitting around at their victory party, staring disconsolately into their G&Ts;, while campaign staffers cry, go outside to chain-smoke, and fill out their resumes, with nobody knowing quite what to say to each other.
