Video: “Here Comes McCain Again”
posted at 6:43 pm on April 7, 2008 by Allahpundit
I could excuse the first single as an endearing, if awful, attempt to pay homage. But a second single? It can only be a false-flag operation, mounted by left-wing operatives to cripple Maverick through the sheer awfulness of the production. Let the cry go forth: I call shenanigans.
What we need is a tone-deaf all-male supergroup to do N Sync-ish Obama-themed versions of 80s classics. I’m in, and doubtless Ace will join; who else?

I’m going to rip out my eardrums with a fork now.

Either Im drunker than last time or they’re getting hotter.
Chuck Schick on April 7, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Haven’t they kind of done that already?
Vizzini on April 7, 2008 at 6:46 PM
I’m drunk myself and no, they’re not getting hotter. Although the younger one is cute.
Allahpundit on April 7, 2008 at 6:48 PM
American Awful.
Joe Mama on April 7, 2008 at 6:48 PM
I question the timing.
lorien1973 on April 7, 2008 at 6:49 PM
I just watched it. I’m not only questioning the timing; but I’m questioning the sanity of these people. The chick on the left isn’t even singing (or so it seems) and the chick on the right is a little too hot to be hanging out with the other two.
lorien1973 on April 7, 2008 at 6:52 PM
These chicks should take up mime.
JetBoy on April 7, 2008 at 6:55 PM
False-flag operation? What else would it be, when it stars a Rosie O”Donnell look-alike?
Maybe it was the Happy Hour wine working, but this video gave me plenty laughs.
petefrt on April 7, 2008 at 6:55 PM
How about Englebert Humperdoodle whats his name
and Tom Jones doing a duet of a bizarre tune
to mock Obama,either way,80′s Super Group idea
im in!
canopfor on April 7, 2008 at 6:56 PM
I’d be more than happy to help sing a rebuttal. I promise I would look terrible on film with no make-up at all. I would prefer to do it shirtless and grab my man boobs every time Obama’s name is sung. It would be a hit I tell you.. a hit!
GoodBoy on April 7, 2008 at 7:00 PM
Ow my brainorgan!
Neo on April 7, 2008 at 7:00 PM
Well chap my hide and call me Sally, I thought it was cute. Awful—but cute.
FloatingRock on April 7, 2008 at 7:03 PM
Well that song was nicely b!sterdized!
I know I’m not looney,however in the last couple of
days I’m positive either CNN or Fox the African American
was commenting on the video,and I think its a Liberal
Operation!
canopfor on April 7, 2008 at 7:04 PM
OMG is that one chick Tracy Ulman?
WOW this totally SUCKED…. my poor ears!
upinak on April 7, 2008 at 7:04 PM
Better Heads On Beer!
StuLongIsland on April 7, 2008 at 7:04 PM
It’s the Paulnuts. If you play the video backwards, you can clearly hear “9/11 was an inside job”
JetBoy on April 7, 2008 at 7:05 PM
It has to be an attempt at sabotage. No one can that un-self aware.

P.S. Or would that be self awareless?
MirCat on April 7, 2008 at 7:06 PM
You two need to get OUT more. Internet dating, friend setting you up on a blind date.. SOMETHING … For the Love of GOD!
upinak on April 7, 2008 at 7:06 PM
In all that is good and holy in the world, I can’t tell you how much I hope this is a false-flag operation.
amerpundit on April 7, 2008 at 7:08 PM
As campy as it is, I like it and I think it is a good idea. It’ll go viral and he won’t have to pay to keep his name out there.
I’ll do a NKOTB if you want. He should do all the songs
ThackerAgency on April 7, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Why can’t I see a video to click on?
SouthernGent on April 7, 2008 at 7:09 PM
You’re hitting stronger stuff than I am then.
Chuck Schick on April 7, 2008 at 7:09 PM
Wow. Maybe you’re right, shenanigans. They couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.
Zorro on April 7, 2008 at 7:10 PM
That being said, if it’s real, at least they’re trying to be creative.
amerpundit on April 7, 2008 at 7:10 PM
Probably for the best. Lemme put it this way . . If you weren’t before, you’d surely be after.

MirCat on April 7, 2008 at 7:12 PM
I think I need to start drinking now.
wise_man on April 7, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Some people get all the luck…
JetBoy on April 7, 2008 at 7:15 PM
Wow! The last part was creepy with McCain outside the window. It kind of reminded of that picture of Kos standing outside the window in that Lamont ad.
terryannonline on April 7, 2008 at 7:19 PM
Dude……..
Seven Percent Solution on April 7, 2008 at 7:20 PM
I called shenanigans on the last thread. The star’s video in response to critics sealed the whole thing.
In closing:
Yeah, sounds like the typical McCain supporter to me.
I’m guessing it’s some other “Barely Political” type site trying to capture attention. After like the third song they’ll probably confess to being phony. Either way, they’ve managed to BUTCHER the Eurythmics.
malan89 on April 7, 2008 at 7:21 PM
What I wouldn’t give for two icepicks and the courage to shove them into my eyes.
Pcoop on April 7, 2008 at 7:22 PM
Has to cut it right off. As a danger to a beloved connotation of youthful frivolity with a fervid bipolar girlfriend.
BL@KBIRD on April 7, 2008 at 7:25 PM
has has to be had
BL@KBIRD on April 7, 2008 at 7:27 PM
lol, make it stop! rofl
Midas on April 7, 2008 at 7:30 PM
Methinks she has pitch problems. She flat, too.
robblefarian on April 7, 2008 at 7:32 PM
“BL(AT)KBIRD” … needs to stop drinking.
wise_man on April 7, 2008 at 7:32 PM
It’s the amazing new singing group, The Robottes, who were put togethr in Japan, whose scientists produce amazing robots. The one on the right could be called a babe, but hey, leave the other two under the bed.
Travis1 on April 7, 2008 at 7:37 PM
Ladies and Gentleman, we present The Wet Farts.
Wahoooo, wahooo….
Did they say Maverick is falling on their head….again!!!!
See he is a Dem.
Hening on April 7, 2008 at 7:39 PM
Not me, sorry…but I really want to see it when you do it…
Bob's Kid on April 7, 2008 at 7:39 PM
why, Why, WHY?!
Asher on April 7, 2008 at 7:43 PM
I want to kill myself
Squid Shark on April 7, 2008 at 7:45 PM
CHUCK SCHICK!
WHERE’VE YOU BEEN!
shick on April 7, 2008 at 7:47 PM
I’ve been in here.
Don’t tell anyone.
Chuck Schick on April 7, 2008 at 8:05 PM
I have been planning to stay home and not vote for anyone, but these girls are making me think maybe I should change my mind and vote for McCain.
They can’t sing, true enough. But there is something about them that makes me love them. They are no Jan Terri for sure! But they come very close! as she sings I don’t want to lose you tonight!
USBB on April 7, 2008 at 8:10 PM
What are the odds?
Obama get like 90% of the black vote and McCain gets stuck with that?
Chakra Hammer on April 7, 2008 at 8:24 PM
I called shenanigans on the first one!
Chakra Hammer on April 7, 2008 at 8:26 PM
Tay Zonday finally has some competition!
TDBURN on April 7, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Make it stop!
CP on April 7, 2008 at 8:59 PM
Get thee three to a nunnery.
Aardvark on April 7, 2008 at 9:07 PM
It’s an islamic plot. AP I suggest that Michelle send you to Madison to speak to the WEB Dubois chapter and while you are there do a tap dance to music from the Obama girl!
wepeople on April 7, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Dude.
You know where I hang out. Say the word.
Good Lt on April 7, 2008 at 9:45 PM
HA, The one on the right of the screen saluted with her left hand!!!
allrsn on April 7, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Sorry. Can’t hear. Driving icepicks into my eardrums right about now.
CapitalistPig on April 7, 2008 at 10:08 PM
I didn’t think it were biologically possible, but my ears just vomitted.
ynot4tony2 on April 7, 2008 at 10:50 PM
I used to kind of like that song.
Christine on April 7, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Ruptured eardrums. Happens all the time.
Reseal with clear silicon caulk.
Shy Guy on April 7, 2008 at 11:22 PM
Creepy…
AnthonyK on April 7, 2008 at 11:46 PM
Obama gets Obama Girl, McCain gets… those.
Well, I guess that third one isn’t too bad.
amkun on April 8, 2008 at 12:03 AM
Song of the Sows.
Speakup on April 8, 2008 at 1:30 AM
shenanigans! no doubt in my mind, and awfully clever too. when is some enterprising full-time blogger (ahem!) gonna get the real scoop on this?
wow, i’m impressed they had the budget to do those helicopter shots for the background!/sarcasm.
pecan pie on April 8, 2008 at 8:04 AM
How have people NOT found out their names yet. They are Dem plants, plain and simple.
EduardoOTI on April 8, 2008 at 9:58 AM
There isn’t a bar opened late enough into the wee hours, or that serves enough booze to make this group look good. Hence no more, “all women look good the closer to closing time it gets”.
pueblo1032 on April 8, 2008 at 10:54 AM
You may be right. But this I know: The world is full of people who have no talent but think otherwise.
paul006 on April 8, 2008 at 11:44 AM
Ugh!
If people are still viewing this…please check this out to repair your ears and mental health.
It’s NOT a Rick Roll!!! It’s the Carpenters covering a beetles’ song…what for the sigh by Karen at 2:55 and be sure to check out the three grooviest band members ever!!!
Karen’s voice will cure you of the McCain’ing song above. Guaranteed.

My God… I finally found something worse than “Chocolate Rain.”
Reaganite84 on April 8, 2008 at 2:38 PM
OK, joke’s over. Don’t do that any more.
morganfrost on April 8, 2008 at 3:14 PM
I loved it. I loved every second of it.
