Charlie Cook: If McCain Wins I'll Quit Polling, Go Bag Groceries
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

If Team McCain needed some "bulletin-board material"—the kind of outrageous taunt from the opposition a coach will pin up in the locker-room to inspire his troops—they got if from Charlie Cook tonight. So confident is the pollster of an Obama victory, he's proclaimed that if McCain wins, he'll go to work bagging groceries or behind a fast-food counter.

Cook was a guest on this evening's Race for the White House. It was in looking at the Electoral College map with host David Gregory that he made his super-sized pledge.

Charlie Cook is an idiot and please Charlie take off the rug, shave your head and be a man.

You’ll know he bagged your groceries when you find bites taken out of your food.

I didn’t know Charlie was still doing “polling.” Last I heard he was a fries guy at some fast food joint. Maybe I missed him because I don’t watch PMSNBC.

We just had a two new grocery stores open around the corner, an Ingles and a Publix. I will get Charlie an application. Matter of fact, I will get one for Keith O, Chrissy M., and Chuck T. (he should easily be hired under a diversity/affirmative action program due to sexual orientation and/or gender identity/confusion.

He doesn’t look like he could stand on his feet very long.

What’s wrong with bagging groceries? At least the grocery bagger is providing a service actually matters to people.

bagging groceries or behind a fast-food counter ? How about a plumber or a builder, what are these jobs worth to this guy? Are all these jobs not worthy of any praise, and now are the butt of democratic jokes?
