MSM frowns on McCain’s sense of humor, fawns over Obama’s gym workouts
Beltway journalists and feminists don’t like John McCain’s sense of humor.
At least he has one.
(Here’s the “story” if you care to read it. Yes, someone gets paid to write that.)
Speaking of The Humorless One, the “news” today seems to be that Barack Obama’s working out. A lot. And I’m sure there are Obamedia groupies swooning at the sight.
Obama’s gym workouts are BYODC: Bring Your Own Drool Cup.

Have you seen Michelle O? I’d spend hours in the gym too.
This is how I save on dental work, but it’s fitting for all those female journalists elbowing each other for space on the treadmill.
I enjoy McCain’s acerbic sense of humor. And love even more that the MSM hates it.
Remember when Bush had his physical and was deemed to be in perfect health? Chirp…chirp…chirp… from the media.
Obama goes to the gym – like thousands of other people – and gasp! He’s. So. Awesome.
Gag me.
My take on Obama’s exercise crap:
“I get my exercise acting as pallbearer to my friends who exercise.”
~Chauncey
McCain jokes: “Bomb Iran”, rape is funny, etc. It’s amazing the press has let him get away with this as long as he has. You might yuck it up over death and felony assault, but the President is supposed to be diplomatic.
It takes a special person to be President. We ask more of Presidents than ordinary citizens. The President has to restrain his urges to make fun of crime victims. McCain does not seem to have that extra something it takes to be the leader of the free world.
I’d don’t know about you ladies, but I think George W looks great in a pair of jeans….Obama – not so much
I’d don’t know about you ladies, but I think George W looks great in a pair of jeans….Obama – not so much
Isn’t that what we kept saying about Clinton?
Why do they boast about how stupid they are? If they don’t understand sarcasm and irony and satire why don’t they just ask for an explanation. Then if they still don’t understand, we can just back away, slowly.
Lay off the drugs LGM. They’re bad for ya.

And Obama does? Har. You should be on Def Comedy Jam bro.
You better hope your boy can hold water on his upcoming ‘trip’.
Not only does McCain have a top-drawer sense of humor, he has twenty-plus years of bi-partisan leadership in the senate, the type of military and world stage experience that only someone of his stature can earn, and the gravitas of statesman all basic requirements of the job he seeks. He is the only candidate fit for the office and he will be an excellent President!
LGM, Are we seeing the start of full blown McCain Derangement Syndrome in you?
I seem to recall some story about How George W Bush exercised a lot, and the story was spun to the effect that he worked out too much, and was too fit.
Needless to say, here comes Obama and this is what they drool over. Typical.
“It takes a special person to be President. We ask more of Presidents than ordinary citizens. The President has to restrain his urges to make fun of crime victims”
The President or candidate for President should also restrain his urges to equate US law enforcement officers with Islamic terrorists.

OT/ Hey Michelle, since you don’t do O’reilly anymore, maybe you can join Watts and be Bill’s competition? See that you’re black and all.
Thank you for reminding me, I forgot to mention McCain’s five years in the Hanoi Hilton: He paid dearly for the Democrats’ betrayal of this country during Vietnam. He has earned the presidency!
It is a privilege to be able to vote, and yet I’m sure many “Sluts and the City” type women will vote for Obama SOLELY because they see him working out in the gym. At least that is what the MSM is hoping. After all, women went overwhelmingly for Gore JUST because of his kissing his wife.
I’m still wondering if there is going to be a backlash and rebellion against Obama hype. Susan Estrich thinks that Obama’s current poll numbers are very worrisome: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/07/it_should_be_a_democratic_year.html
In any case, isn’t working out at the gym supposed to a private affair? To invite cameras in to watch shows some real type of narcissism.
Pssst, lgm. I know you’re a city boy, but…gorillas don’t rape humans. It’s a joke. You’re a joke so you should be able to relate.
One other thing. Summer’s Eve called. They don’t like what you’re doing to the product’s image.
LGM states:
I agree with lgm for once. Obama truly is “special,” in the way that our grade school teachers called the mentally retarded kid “special.”
Obama is so “special” that he cannot come up with a coherent position on ANY issue. Yet many of the less intelligent in our society are going to vote for him because he has cameras roll when he goes to the gym.
What is newsworthy about Obama working out at the gym?
Perhaps when he becomes president and the American people see him for who he really is, they’ll begin to say “The agent of change just isn’t working out.” Then the media will trot out these videos and say “See, he is too working out!” With their logic I wouldn’t put it past them.
Anyone check out the…er, action in the gyms’ restrooms? Tap, tap, tap. Just sayin’.
But I thought he was a light worker.
By the way, he’s a twig of a man, quite diminutive. Arnold works out. Barack wears work out clothes.
LGM must be having a woody over this news…going by his comments earlier today about how Obama is so ‘pretty’.
That Obama…ain’t he sumptin!
/sarc
How about some pic’s of him behind the gym sneaking a smoke?
He does live in San Francisco.
Die Hippie says:
I think the rumors that Obama is gay have just been proven by the fact that he went to the gym SIX times in one day. He might be our first black AND gay president.

That, and the shine they cut over the cost of his bike, the exposure of the Secret Service to possible attack while he rode outdoors, the inconvenience of commuters who had to be re-routed when President Bush exercised in places other than the WH grounds, and so on, and so on, and so on…in the eyes of the MSM, President Bush can no right, while B Hussein Obama can do no wrong.
The press let him get away with this? What planet are you from? The press was all over McCain when he made those comments.
Google “McCain bomb bomb Iran” and you get 2,720,000 hits. Google “Obama Resko” and you only get 23,200 hits and very few of those are MSM reports. It’s so difficult to determine which candidate is getting the most negative press from the Main Stream Media, I can understand your confusion on this point.
BTW, Does “lgm” stand for “liberal green moonbat”?

Well, mamma mia, that’s a one wimpy workout. Arnold, he’s not.
Drool Cup? Your kidding, right?
If Obama loses any more body mass, he can put on a Gilligan hat, smack his hands together and say DY-NO-MITE!!
Now I’ve heard everything. Barck will end the war because he’s going to get a dog? For crying out loud.
I thought you were an Obama supporter…silly me.
Only if he is Pres? Only on the taxpayers dime? So in the WH he can have a dog nanny…but at home he and Michelle might have to take care of it?
Wholly $h!t. I guess if he loses in a 2nd contest he will have it put to sleep.
One good thing I can say about the “grumpy old man” at least he has a thick skin to his critics both conservative and loony liberal. Getting beat every day for 5 years can make a guy pretty tough to mere words.
The pandering of the MSM over the Obamessiah is sickening. There is not the least bit of objectivity in any of their reporting as they fawn all over their anointed one. They are so overt even the blind can see right through him to include one of my favorite commenters Blind Mule a witty and sensible individual.
LOL Sambo, and if he loses the kids can grow up hating America like their Mother and Peacher because we will have kept them from getting that puppy.
Funny. I hope daddy will get some of the blame also…since throwing people under the bus might run in the family.
I’ve seen “little girly man” often mentioned here. Your’s works too.
Nah, it’s just carryover fullblown BDS. Remember the libs mantra – McCain represents 4 more years of Bush:)
Talking about Drool Cups, anyone noticed how Drudge seems to be in that category where Obama is concerned?
Sunlun Miller, please. People go to the East Bank Club to impress others, not to work out. It’s Chicago. We don’t have Mr. Chow’s. We have the EBC.
He was joking when he said that? That was the one thing I liked about his platform./sarc
So according to LGM, McCains jokes would make him a bad president but Obamas workouts would make him a good president. So much for content.
?????s
Is Obama’s night thrapist a male or female?
Can’t they afford a dog now?
to Mc:
I NEVER thought I would agree w/lgm…
Mc-If you are going to name call (like the word C_ _T- toward Cindi) + the off colors as stated in the link- would you perform them in your your private office or the men’s room?
Name calling exposes a small mind and dismal character.
Amazing they draw on jokes going back on McCain’s 1986 campaigns (22 years ago!!!!) but don’t bother to question or show any real outrage for Odumbo’s preacher Rev Wright, whose words have been much more offensive to the entire nation than a dumb isolated joke here and there.
The big difference here is Rev. Wright wasn’t joking.
If Kim Gandy is offended by McCain’s jokes from 10 – 20 years ago, then she should be even more outraged by Wright’s preaching for the past twenty years up until a few months ago when Odumbo threw him under the bus.
well, gosh! he has to work out…he’s trying to bulk up enough to tell his ginormous amazon of a fishwife to shut the H double hockey sticks up…..
and he doesn’t want his wee effeminate little arse being handed to him as a hat.
“tap, tap, tap…”
OMG…that’s classic…really.
calling larry sinclair…..heh heh heh
DHD,
One other thing. Summer’s Eve called. They don’t like what you’re doing to the product’s image.
I need to wipe beer off my monitor. LOL!
Its appropriate too, I don’t think lgm has a pair. Just like his hero Obama.
Apparently, this “news” is so exciting, the writer forgot how to use proper grammar.
Yes so special.
HA HA HA Blind Mule. That’s classic.
Just a shade off topic but not far off and a great cartoon concerning the “messiah”-bho:
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/07/it-has-begun-naacp-speaker-announces-if.html#comments
That’s another funny one, CS.
Fixed it for you.
Obama is rhetoric in an empty suit.
Yeah. An unfettered love for infanticide, outrageous taxes, and appeasement to terrorists is really special.
Oh Rob…plagiarism at it’s worst and least accurate……..sigh
Yes and “the messiah” would be so much more “peachy” than McCain for president, right?
What’s Obama going to do? Hit him with his little purse?
Sic his wife on him?
Tattle?
Here is the reason Obama works out six times a day: He has delusions of one day being strong enough to pull the sword from the stone.

I sourced the quote and I bracketed the changes. I DO HATE McAmnesty with severe passion, and think he is in trouble with the Obamasiah. My neighborhood is becoming a third world MEXICAN nation and that bastard wants it to become a fourth, and I am afraid that is possible…
That all said, I will vote for the a-hole because he is the lesser of two evils. Still a mean, misguided little evil jerk, but lesser…
Boy I don’t know. This is the third time (at least) MM has brought up that “Obama in jeans” video on her blog.
Just makes you wonder who, exactly, is obsessed with Obama’s crotch.
Ugh! I hate PC. I rather have a President that tells a few salty jokes, then one that has to take a poll every time he takes a dump.
“Shoot the messenger” is an old liberal ploy. Whenever someone complains about porn, indecent art, or any other sacred object of liberal worship, it must be becaused they, themselves, are obsessed with it. Right? “Sell crazy someplace else; we’re all stocked up here.”
You know, I am really getting a bad impression for the easy manipulation of the female vote. It really makes them look, well, kind of stupid. Is that what they want?
Maybe if McCain stops playing softball…
As seen below, six times a day is practically a mania. And yes, inviting the press to take pictures of you while immersing yourself in your mania is narcissistic at best, and kind of pathetic at worst.
I wonder how many of the reporters just lie in his sweat and dream…
Well, I think it is just overdoing the photo op thing, but he does have to attract the gay vote too.
Probably the ones on the airplane swooning over his genital area. Reporting on the infatuation does not mean the reporter is infatuated as well.
I wonder how long (no pun intended) it will be before the media starts “enhancing” his package like they did AlGore?
Just to offset the influence of his white half, of course…
Sure. The first time its “reporting”. The second time…ehhh…”underlining your argument?”…OK…Sure.
The third time? Well, that’s just “creepy”.
Pssst
BaracusAtticusBarabbasBarack. The camels called. They want their toes back.LMAO
Hey #67, love the name, I am drinking some Deschants while reading this, and no I have no interest in Berry’s crotch.
Its OK to admit you are a little curious.
And I am jealous because I only drank some cheap vinho verde and vodka and lemonade tonight.
You win.
But Juan McCain let these MSM reporters ride on his Straight Talk Express! How can this be? Is his crotch not as attractive as Hussein’s?
It would be nice. But in sixty years I have seen exactly ONE Special Man become President. And no, it was not a Bush or Clinton or Kennedy. It was Ronald Reagan so I doubt lgm and the Neanderthal are on the same page.
I grow more convinced as time moves on Ronald Reagan was the one President of my lifetime who LOVED America and Her People more than he loved power, pomp and prestige. Eisenhower had some good points I guess but Reagan was the Best.
He is missed.
I’ll let you be the judge of that.
I thought the “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb iran” was very clever. It’s based on the meter of the beach boys “Ba ba ba, ba barbara ann”. Who knew McCain liked the Beach Boys. It was released in 1965, McCain born 1936, he was only 29 years old then. Just the kind of silly thing he might have remembered from those days. And the rape joke, about a gorilla? Context, please. lgm is on the same page as Iran’s mullahs about the “bomb bomb bomb” ditty. The mullahs probably never heard of the song “Barbara Ann”. What’s lgm’s excuse? Oh man, why am I engaging that troll. So my bad.

I don’t know why I came back to this thread-I usually do not- glad I did
You’re right on about our great President Reagan…
Thank you,
CS
As usual, the liberals have no sense of humor. As for being offensive, the most vicious, hate filled, profane, and downright ugly stuff that comes from their fertile (must be all that manure)yet tiny brains is far worse and much less civilized than anything McCain has said. It’s just business as usual with the press that they tag along with the liberal candidate, salivating all over themselves. If he ever stops suddenly, they’ll need a surgeon to extract them.
ROFLMAO
Oh! *gasp* Please! *gasp* Stop! *gasp*
I *gasp* can’t *gasp* catch *gasp* my *gasp* breath, *gasp* Hippie!
Given his repeated comments about how good looking BO is on Thursday, I figued lgm may need a little alone time, when he got wind of this.
Chapoutier trolled:
Just makes you wonder who, exactly, is obsessed with Obama’s crotch.
makes you wonder maybe, we can tell from the drooling swooning female journos on the plane desparately vying for a shot….
Obama: Do ya think I’m sexy?
Obama Trolls: I want your sex!
Adults only blogging today. MM, do you want your kids reading this filth?
Alone time’s over, huh?
Geez! You think that is filth? As I have said before, drop by the Huff or DU or Kos and see real filth. The kind of filth born of ignorance and hate.
I have no trouble believing that you get “a little rise” over images of Obama. To do otherwise would be homophobic, would it not?
I am sure Michelle is more concerned about her children being exposed to the type of orgasmic swooning the liberal media is doing in the guise of objective reporting. Any normal person worried about the demise of the media would be.
Just look at the current “I need some foreign policy cred” tour Obambi is on. Look at the groupies, I mean, entourage, of so called reporters, all no doubt hoping for that glimpse of his package on the plane.
Maybe some of the women will be able to stand next to him in the men’s room. Not Helen Thomas though. They have to draw lots for who will “walk” her in the park…
