McCain extends olive branch to Pelosi, Gore

San Francisco Chronicle | July 30, 2008 | Carla Marinucci

I guess the title alone is its own barf alert.

[SolidWood]

Is this satire?

[Rastus]

I think this entire election cycle is satire. We’re all being filmed and we don’t know it.

[donna]

What a boob.

[Hi Heels]

Xactly. It’s candid camera. Gotta be.

[calcowgirl]

No... I don’t know why the link didn’t show up.

It’s a long article, this was just the intro (excerpt)

Oh, barf. Doesn’t McCain know he’s p*ssing off 91% of Americans - those who contributed to Congress’ 9% approval rating? Don’t suck up to Pelosi, McCain; she’s on very thin ice.

"I respect Speaker Pelosi. I think she's one of the great American success stories," McCain said during an interview with The Chronicle prior to a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.

Most people think prostitution has to involve sex.

I beg to differ.

"Republican Sen. John McCain, engaged in increasingly sharp attacks on rival Barack Obama, pledged that if elected president, he would work closely with Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, praising her as an effective leader and an "inspiration to millions of Americans."

Juan's off his meds again.

From Botox Nancy:

Don’t you see? I am trying to save the planet and I am willing to step on the little people to do just that. I know what is best for you. Drilling is not the answer. End of Debate.

She may be even more vile than Hillary.

[SolidWood]

What an freaking idiot. But what choice do we have, but him, least we let Obama march into the White House with waving flags?

[the_Watchman]

I’ll bet they were serving Beltway Koolaid at this fundraiser!

[Man50D]

Of course he does. They’re not conservatives.

[Man50D]

Juan's off his meds again.

On the contrary. He's on them.

[Mojave]

And McCain also had high praise for the 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore and his advocacy on the issue of climate change.

I hope the fishing is good on election day.

[Mojave]

I don’t think that McCain is running for President. He’s running for a spot in the Obama cabinet.

[libh8er]

The Republican primary season has been a disaster. We will be paying for it for at least the next 4 years.

“Most people think prostitution has to involve sex”

Well she does look like an old whore that needs recycling.

Don’t care for McCain playing Mister Nice Guy, but I can see why he is doing it. He is choosing his battles. Its true, that a lot of people are getting frustrated with the Witch on the Hill, but McCain is wise to avoid getting in the middle when Pelosi may end up hanging herself if people become sufficiently angry with her. If McCain wins, he may have to deal with her, so he is deflecting her for now and letting this play out without direct confrontation.
