Don’t blame me, you recognized it.

Comment #2: Auguste  on  07/24  at  12:36 AM

Wait ... I thought profile views were bad and Hiltery.

Comment #3: Joshua  on  07/24  at  01:05 AM

Can anyone swap “Peace Born…”  with “Where did I leave my keys?”

Comment #4: SpotWeld  on  07/24  at  01:07 AM

“John McCain - He’s So Tough, All It Takes Is A Thought And Airplanes Fly Out Of His Skull”

“John McCain - Peace Is Born Of Wisdom And A Squad Of Nuke-Laden Jets He’s Ready To Release On The First Country To Look Cross-Eyed At Him”

“John McCain - He Sees You When You’re Sleeping, He Knows When You’re Awake”

“John McCain - If He Tries Really Hard, He Can Reduce That Evil Looking Grin To Just A Smug Smirk”

I could do this all night…

There is no time for peace.

No respite.

No forgiveness.

There is only War.

Vote McCain ‘08

My version, based on a revision by another poster at DailyKos:

Blood for the Blood God!

I’m so glad this is just a campaign poster for McCain.

For a few moments I thought the world was coming to an end and someone had made a sequel to “Pearl Harbour”...

Dweeze made me laugh with the “jets coming out of his skull”.

MikeEss made me sad with the oh—too-apt 1984 reference.

I got nothin’ here.  Kids got up at 5 am and I went my first yoga class at 6.  Yeowxh.

Is it just me in my pre-caffeine haze, or does that poster seem “religious-y” somehow.  I think it’s the golden clouds of Heaven calling John home.  Why is his disconnected head floating anyway?

Oops…link doesn’t work, obviously.  Just copy/paste that url.

Comment #13: Amanda  on  07/24  at  12:14 PM

This fall from Jerry Bruckheimer…John McCain will bring…PEACE FROM WISDOM. Rated R.

Actually, that graphic looks like John McCain has died.  Very funerial.

Comment #15: Ms Kate  on  07/24  at  01:01 PM

On a message board I post at, someone pointed out it’s similarity to a Magic:  The Gathering Card, causing someone else to come up with this:

They’re showing the left side of his face because that is relatively normal, while the right side is scarred and pouched out from his cancer surgery…notice he’s looking LEFT and not right too!

Comment #17: wagonjak  on  07/24  at  01:32 PM

Boy, the LOLcats site really isn’t working very well on this one… refresher course needed. Maybe like this one:

“Prez McCain

Will swap jets

4 cheezbrgrz”

Comment #18: louise  on  07/24  at  02:48 PM

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought the profile shot was fascist. Only when Democrats do it, I guess.

Comment #19: Chet  on  07/24  at  04:40 PM

Shouldn’t those be mushroom clouds below the jets?

Comment #20: Samantha Vimes  on  07/25  at  12:53 AM

This is perfect graphic design. The campaign obviously didn’t hire some fruity graphic designer who knows about things like ‘proportionality’ or ‘taste.’ No, none of those grad-school, latte-sippin’ concepts here. Just heavy-handed ass-kickin’ we’ll-use-the-sans-in-the-bottom-banner-to-piss-off-liberals stuff. It will look at home in a video store. We’re supposed to think of ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Iron Eagle’ when we see this. It’s a movie poster for the McCain campaign.

Hey, mine’s based on lolcats too!
