When the man says he intends to cut spending, he’s not kidding around.
Admit it. It does sound like him.

See? it must be true, if the Onion says it!
Actually their are many more reasons why McCain is a better choice than Hillary, even though several on HA say they would rather have Hill-Billy back at the simple life in the White House.

their there they’re…dang me dang em, get some rope and hang me.
kirkill on May 5, 2008 at 6:48 PM
Not too swift. What if someone the secret service could have stopped shoots someone else in addition to him, like, oh say, his wife or daughter?
MB4 on May 5, 2008 at 6:50 PM
I’m writing an email to Home Depot right now! Errrr….nevermind.
SouthernGent on May 5, 2008 at 6:51 PM
That was awesome. If he really does that, I’ll vote for him.
John_Locke on May 5, 2008 at 6:53 PM
Did you catch the KFC bit at the end. I love the Onion.
MyImamToldMeToDoIt on May 5, 2008 at 6:55 PM
It it were not the Onion, and were real, he’d get killed by a conservative, very likely.
Entelechy on May 5, 2008 at 6:58 PM
The funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.
VolMagic on May 5, 2008 at 7:00 PM
You know, if the Onion logo wasn’t clearly visible, I just might have believed it.
socalconservative on May 5, 2008 at 7:01 PM
That. Was. Great!

The video was kinda funny, but the quote on the main page:
almost made me choke on my sandwich. Hilarious

I see we’ll be passing out some gullible awards here. Congratulations to MB4, our early bird winner.
TexasDan on May 5, 2008 at 7:06 PM
I hit the ball that was thrown.
MB4 on May 5, 2008 at 7:17 PM
Is Juan’s going to the La Raza conference (earlier thread) to pay homage made up too? Now that’s something that
isshould be really unbelievable.MB4 on May 5, 2008 at 7:22 PM
I bet Hillary would chew off her own balls if it meant getting the nomination. I think Maverick needs to get tougher and smarter.
Hening on May 5, 2008 at 7:26 PM
McCain should one up Hillary and challenge the winner of her truck bed debate to a debate atop a freight train going full speed.
pedestrian on May 5, 2008 at 7:28 PM
If he does have to saw them off, hillary has a replacement set.
lorien1973 on May 5, 2008 at 7:28 PM
Oh I’m sure this challenge will not go without execution.
The terrorists would love it.
Indy Conservative on May 5, 2008 at 7:29 PM
Stupidity is earned.
McCain deserves it.
Indy Conservative on May 5, 2008 at 7:38 PM
Another reason the VP spot is so important with the crazies on the LEFT out there.
azcop on May 5, 2008 at 7:47 PM
“McCain declines Secret Service, dares assassins to try something”
Great. He’s more at risk by the crazies on the right than on the left. Not that I would think that anyone here would ….
Nah.
wise_man on May 5, 2008 at 8:10 PM
This one is funny too.
Guardian on May 5, 2008 at 8:19 PM
oh yeah, that was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for sharing.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the onion story is funny because it’s based on truth.
hatespam on May 5, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Go big john!
As a 71 year old retired soldier I can relate to that attitude and behavior.
rplat on May 5, 2008 at 9:16 PM
McCain carries a poisoned mini-crossbow under his coat and has had one eye replaced with an argon laser that triggers when he says “My friends…”.
Try anything, and you will need a lot of coffins.
Without the Onion logo and the kiddie drawings, most people would buy this if excerpted on the evening news.
And would admire him for the chutzpah.

Heer heer!
leftnomore on May 5, 2008 at 10:34 PM
GREAT STUFF.
btw: if mccain is so effin tough then how come he can’t face down the illegals?
if mccain is so tough then why won’t he keep gitmo open?
if mccain was really tough he wouldn’t suck up to libs.
mccain: a conservative’s worse nightmare.
mccain is so so so so SO lucky to be running against a dem.
reliapundit on May 6, 2008 at 12:14 AM
It was just funny…geeze people, not everything is a political debate…you’re just sad because Obama ran out of arugula.
HawaiiLwyr on May 6, 2008 at 1:09 AM
The Onion…wow!
The most memorable headline from their printed edition:
Special Olympics T-Ball Tee Pitches Perfect Game
91Veteran on May 6, 2008 at 2:03 AM
True, but didn’t Bill Clinton send his wife, daughter and Sheryl Crow into all that sniper fire in Bosnia?
infidel65 on May 6, 2008 at 3:06 AM
If McCain is so courageous, why won’t he do an interview with Michelle Malkin?
Red Pill on May 6, 2008 at 5:58 AM
Perhaps McCain has “protection” from another source…George Soros.
Perhaps this is an attempt to lower the standard of protection for other Presidential candidates.
Red Pill on May 6, 2008 at 6:00 AM
.
Before or after it was sawed off?
Right_of_Attila on May 6, 2008 at 11:31 AM
I learned my lesson on the last onion bit. Glad I looked
before I typed today. Above comments are much funnier
than the onion video, keep them coming!
