A picture is worth 1,000 words
« on: October 18, 2008, 12:01:05 AM »
A picture is worth a thousand words, although I don't think these are the 1,000 words John McCain wanted out there after the debate.



Reuters

Not so surprisingly this photo (and the one below from AP) are one of the most emailed photos today.



Maybe this is a good thing though -- as of last night, there were reports that undecided voters were laughing at him. Now, maybe they're laughing with him.

Were these photoshopped?

McCain looks like he is suffering from severe gastric (or some other sort of) distress.

Check the credits - one is from Reuters, the other from AP. As far as I have been able to determine, they are unretouched.

Proves he's pretty fucking OLD to be running for President.

That too.  Speaking of sense of humour, did you catch Palin on SNL?  She's funny.

Congrats Tampa Bay

Ah, Rich, always willing to think the worst of someone...

I agree with BT, I thought it showed he had a sense of humor. He comes off stiff during the debates and his jokes are lame, but he tries.

For anyone that's interested, you can go to NBC.com and watch both her bits on SNL. The opening bit is the better of the two, IMNSHO. The closing is mainly a rap song about her.

As Bill Maher said Friday, paraphrasing, "stop trying to say this photo has any deep meaning about McCain or his run for the presidency.  It doesn't.  IT'S JUST HILARIOUS!"

And it is.
