Some moran at beatingoffinmypajamasmedia.cum burbles:
"I sometimes feel a great deal of pity for John McCain. He really seems like a super guy — someone you could sit next to at a bar and toss back a few with while swapping amusing stories..."
Yeah, until you say the wrong thing or eat the wrong peanut and he goes nuclear and rips your fucking head off.

I just CANNOT wait for the debates.
It will be the closest thing to a live execution being put on my teevee.
isn't that the same shit people said about having a beer with bush? that turned out really well, didn't it?
Jeezus Krist, will this shit never end? It's more i mportant to sit at a bar tossing back a few than it is to keep the economy from foundering or our jobs from being exported by the shitload, our levees and dams from breaking, our bridges from collapsing, our roads and ports from being sold wholesale to foreign interest. Fuck them, fuck them all, fucking peabrains.
Although I spent (or mis-spent, if you want) a significant amount of my youth in bars, I NEVER met anybody in a bar whom I was 'having a few beers with' who -- by their bar talk alone -- SHOULD have been president! It's a fucking irrelevant 'qualification'!! About the ONLY REMOTE relevance it could even POSSIBLY have is that it slightly measures a person's 'sociability factor' (ie; you don't want a total psycho like Ted Kazcinsky [the Unabomber] inhabiting the WH) -- and it doesn't even do a good job at that since many psychos/social misfits can fake-it for an hour or so.
As has been noted by others and myself, it's NOT important that a politician (ESPECIALLY at the national/international level) be able to make banal small talk with us 'common folk' - - that's NOT what we're electing him/her for! We've got WAY too many talk-shows on radio/TV that already 'talk to us' about these matters, and -- speaking for myself, at least -- I've got enough friends/acquaintances to converse with....WTF would I want to talk/listen to a politician on a personal level for?? For high level office, I want an EXCEPTIONALLY ABLE candidate, not some guy who's comfortable on a bar-stool -- I can go out and find plenty of them in 5 minutes.
I think this is all just propaganda by right-wingers to dumb-down the discourse so that they can make their appeals based on minor, 'emotional' issues (abortion, flag burning, gay marriage, etc) to cover up their true, less popular agenda (plutocratic militarism).
I just posted on this exact topic. I don't want a President to have a beer with; I want a President who won't destroy the entire fucking universe!
