In light of the more serious topics that I have covered recently, as well as being motivated by the recent smear ads from the Republican candidate John McCain’s camp on Barack Obama’s “celebrity” status, I’ve decided to scour the web and find some of the more humorous videos that I can find related to Mr. McCain. I was sure that there would be plenty of material available, and in fact, I was not disappointed. From flip-flopping on policies, looking awkward and dumbfounded when asked a difficult question, proud admissions of key personal flaws and even wtf moments where he reveals his true nature and mindset … I’ve tried to collect some of the best material out there to create the Top Ten. That being said, I’m sure that I have probably missed some as well, so for those of you that are inclined, feel free to post up additional videos that you think is worthwhile to the comments of this blog entry. Thanks in advance!
So without further ado …. drum roll please!
Number 10: Out of Touch McCain can’t remember the price of Milk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16bdiY7L17M
McCain tries to show that he feels the pain of the masses with the rising food costs, yet in this staged event he cannot recall the price of milk without help of a cue card! It’s either he’s too senile to remember, or he’s not in touch at all. Neither answer bolds well for the senator.
Number 9: McCain’s Top Issue to Voters: Stay out of the Sun!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0–6nGuLjM
To show that he’s in touch of the worries of the everyday American, McCain decides to give a back story of his visit to his dermatologist and gives sound advice to the American people to use sunscreen and stay out of the sun. Thumbs up, Sidney! How about your thoughts on the economy, energy independence and foreign policy? No comment on those issues and instead walk away before you need answer any tough questions. I like the little shot at the end by the reporter asking about McCain’s health … a cheap shot nonetheless but well-timed.
Number 8: Al Qaeda in Iran or Not
http://www.videosift.com/video/McCain-Its-common-knowledge-Iran-training-al-Qaeda-WRONG
Showing his vast knowledge of foreign policy and military threats, McCain indicates that Iran is a threat because it is “common knowledge” they are training Al Qaeda terrorists … only to be quickly corrected by Senator Lieberman that the common knowledge is only his own since Iran religious lines is in conflict with and does not support Al Qaeda.
Number 7: McCain Cracks Himself Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45SQJB-CoPQ
This is a good McCain moment. As he tries to trivialize Obama’s visit to Europe, he pops a joke and can’t stop laughing at his own joke. Any moment now you almost expect him to topple over from all the excitement! Watch your health Senator …
Number 6: Geography is not his best subject but Foreign Policy is!
http://www.videosift.com/video/McCain-shows-geographical-ignorance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67ANtTZpCmE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2v8cuQTVO8&feature=related
On his thoughts about the current situation in Iraq, McCain mentions the Iraq-Pakistan border … conveniently forgetting that the whole country of Iran is in between them. Whoops! Perhaps to make up for his forgetfulness on Iran, McCain muses on how he would handle Iran by casually comparing his tactics to a Beach Boy song … “Bomb-Iran”.
Number 5: McCain Doesn’t know how to Use a Computer, Proud D student
http://www.webtvhub.com/john-mccain-was-a-d-student-video-admits-he-graduated-894th-of-899/
This is more frightening than humorous, that a person so out of touch, so below average is running for president. I would think that the America people would want somebody that is in touch with the Information age and scholastically above average to lead them, n’est pas?
Number 4: McCain on Economics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaR1CnfyrEo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5o9jmT7-sQ
With the stagnant economy being one of the top issues on American minds, listening to McCain’s rhetoric on inflation, interest rates and it all being “psychological” is more scary than funny. Do you seriously believe this man has any answers to stimulating the economy?
Number 3: McCain’s Viagra Moment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDGvEEgXKJU
The title speaks for itself. But seeing McCain’s dumbfounded face and huge long pause is classic!
Number 2: McCain Campaign Slipups
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iWYAOMYmp0
From misusing and forgetting words, spending his time vetoing “beer”, making sure that dehydrated babies have hot bottle water, and searching for “Bob”, this is a nice mashup of what we will now affectionately call … McCain moments.
Number 1: The Commander-in-Chief Test
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgF39TRCPPE
A good compilation of of McCain moments with a twist of humour … if you only watch one of these videos, this is the one to watch.
There were many others that I found where quite funny but they were more spoof videos and I wanted to focus on real McCain moments in the Top 10. However, here a couple that were more silly than real, but gave me a nice laugh nonetheless.
Silly Video 1: Farting McCain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I270syK9_zw
Silly Video 2: Cursing McCain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCXOZpwT2ek
Take some time an enjoy a McCain moment … it’s makes for great comedy!







































Nice compilation of McCain “moments”. Good work!
It really is scary to think that he can potentially be our next president. He seems more out of it than Bush is or ever was. Can McCain be worse than Bush? It’s hard to fathom what state our country will be in if he does win!
mccain has no chance. he’s a dope. vote in ron paul 2008!
Y’ALL MAKE ME SICK. YOU AND YOU’RE LIBEREL PROPAGUNDA. YOU WUSSYS MAKE MAH COUNTRY WEAK. Y’ALL KNOW YOU’RE CANDIDATE AIN’T GONNA WIN. OBAMANIA IS A CROCK AND US GOOD AMERICAN BOYZ CAN SEE THROUGH HIS BS. DON’T MATTER WHO WE SEND OUT THERE WE’VE ALREADY WON. HOW’S THAT TASTE IN Y’ALL MOUTHS? GO HOME AND CRY YOU BABIES.
Why are these McBush backers all so ignorant and dense? Do you choose to believe in lies instead of facing the truth? I’m leaving this god forsaken country if McBush gets elected. It’ll be pathetic.
GO OBAMA 2008!!!!
I’m a Republican and to be honest, I don’t know how McCain was selected to be our candidate. He must have been the worse of the bunch of Romney, Huckabee and Guiliani. That being said, I’ll still vote Republican because regardless of the candidate, electing a Democrat into the White House will be disaster for our economy.
We need a conservative that will keep taxes low and money in our pockets and not spend like crazy on social programs and assistance that we can ill afford.
To Lynxx:
How can you possibly say that that you want a conservative that will keep taxes low and money in your pocket. May I remind you which president started the war in Iraq and his party affiliation.
How much of your tax dollars are being siphoned to it? You’re not buying electronics or a pair of jeans. Get over your party loyalty and be loyal to your country — vote for someone who will do something right for a change.
Dear Fiscally Conservative Republicans,
Since y’all don’t seem to understand layman words, here is a picture that is easier to comprehend.

It speaks a thousand words!
Thanks for taking the time to remind us what we’re dealing with. It really is a night and day difference between someone who gets it and someone who does not.
I loved Obama’s rebuttal to the “inflate your tires” comment by McCain - “they’re so ignorant that they think that it is funny to make fun of something that is actually true”.
I SO believe that Obama CAN CHANGE what America has become.
McBush backers, ask yourself these simple questions:
1. Do you really want to elect the oldest first term President, one that does not know how to use the computer or the Internet and continues to confuse himself and forget basic things and ideas?
2. Do you really want to elect a President who has virtually no economic smarts in today’s ailing economy?
3. Do you really want a President that is a war-monger that makes jokes about bombing other nations after the Iraq debacle?
If you answered no to any one of those questions then you are a sensible American and deserve better. Remember this when you vote in November.
Obama killed McCain on his ignorant “tire pressure” rebuttal.

Love it! Obama needs to go on the offensive and take McCain down. The old man has no chance.
