John McCain Pokes Fun at His 'Maverick' Status on SNL

[mrmah85]

I'm gonna say it: During the campaign, SNL went out of their way to ridicule McCain/Palin while going out of their way to NOT even chuckle at the Obama/Biden ticket. I know SNL leans liberal, but - even by that standard - their partisanship was so obvious it was EMBARASSING! Now, with the country still in the pits, they HAVE to make fun of President Obama. Hopefully, when the next election comes around, they will have learned their lesson... Hopefully.

1. say your name 10 times 2. say your mom's name 5 times 3. say your crushes name 3 times 4. paste this to 4 other songs. if you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday. but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck. SEND THIS TO 5 SONGS IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY

McCain has a great sense of humor.. And a stand-up guy.. Proof is the speech he gave after loosing the election to Obama. Very dignified and composed.

[daleksec666]

@lnaone808 maybe he has a better sense of humour... but he;s still a moron

[elsid1010]

omg i love you ive been looking for hours for this video

[rexcars27]

i miss the campaign days

[happyking9]

McCain was pretty funny, but Palin was creepy though

[HereIamWhatNow]

@happyking9 that wasn't Sarah Palin, that was an impersonator. She plays in a lot of other snl skits. She looks and sounds just like Palin.

[zoebiflap]

@HereIamWhatNow you commented to a comment made a year ago? O_o

[HereIamWhatNow]

@zoebiflap Haha, yeah I guess you're right. I think I need to get a life. :-)

[Zhx12]

i saw this on TV

[ixlnxs]

really? who didn't?

[RoseSkye]

Woah wall of text.

[ThePhoenixx]

I think he gave up at this point. The skits were honestly funny but I started to feel bad for laughing so hard.

[jrankin3]

Yes, Obama won the presidency, but don't complain when his policies turn the economy even worse than it is. His win of the presidency just goes to show that you can give people the freedom to vote but you can't make them smarter.

[PatientMickey]

What universe are you living in? The Republican administration has nearly flushed this country down the financial toilet! The government had a huge surplus after the Clinton adminstration...now we are 7 trillion dollars in the hole, and this country may never recover. So who is smarter, you blind tightass Republican, you?!

[jrankin3]

Well not-so-PatientMickey, I think you had best change your name. It's not the republican administration that has doomed the economy as of late. If you recall where this financial crisis stemmed from, it was primarily bad mortgages and shady lending practices. Who's idea was it that everyone in this damned country should be able to own a home and qualify for a mortgage regardless of credit or ammount of past financial resposibility?

[jrankin3]

Wait.... The democrats I do beleive! Now look where we are. The Clinton administration created an artificial surplus simply by manipulating the location of the debt. And to be honest, if any one person who voted for Obama this election could sit down and explain exactly why they voted the way they did, and tell me his policies that they support and stand behind, then thats great.

[jrankin3]

The fact is 9 out of 10 Obama supporters that I have talked to can only tell me that they want "change", and this is what he stands for. I really don't want a reason to say 'I told you so', and genuinely hope that Mr. Obama is what this country needs now that he has been elected president, but just looking at his economic policies alone...

[jrankin3]

They benefit select individuals, while in the long run they will hurt the country as a whole. I'm not going to sit here and throw out insults, but is it really too much to ask to have INFORMED voters showing up to the polls?! Know what you're committing to!!

[JohnBach]

Hmmm... so you think not knowing the countries in north america and knowing the difference between a continent of Africa and African nations is okay?

Your guy McCain was caught flip-flopping, lying, and having really bad senior moments. His running mate couldn't tell you whether Africa was a country or a continent or what countries were in North America. Seriously. Even if you substitute a better candidate, how would they measure up to Obama's statesmanship?

[ModernSurvivor]

And Barack Obama doesn't know how many states there are, what place he was born, nor to which religion he adheres. I still think third party is the way to go, and if Obama really wants change he'd attempt to initiate reforms which would make it easier for third party candidates easier to elect. Heck, if he did that I'd vote for him in 2012.

[JohnBach]

Those are all false statements. You better do some fact checking. Obama never said he was anything but Christian (the right wing pundits made fun of his Christian pastor, remember?). And he was born in the U.S.-- the Constitution requires you're natural-born. That'd be checked right away. That's why Governor Schwarzeneger can't be President.

You use the word reform loosely without context. What reform?

[ModernSurvivor]

Well I like to amuse myself by throwing around rumors. Personally I couldn't care less which religion he belongs to anyway. Regarding reforms: I'm not familiar enough with the way the political process works, but I think if Obama were to set a precedent of some type to allow third party candidates at the table as far as debates and other events are concerned then the country would be better off for it.

[hunterman1289]

stupid

[Mallitaa1]

"Patient" I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER PILL. ONE OF REALITY MAYBE! GET A CLUE! PRESIDENT IS ONLY ONE PERSON, BUT WHERE THE FUCK HAS CONGRESS BEEN FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS? RUINING THIS COUNTRY OF COURSE. DEATH TO THE FUCKING DEMS!

[ReadingBombshell]

Whoo ~ Hoo!

Obama won & John can do it right next time.

[stevekms]

[skater4nater]

i really want him to win. obama can wait until 2016

[onylde]

bla bla bla !!!

[greggregoryvigilant]

If mccain really wanted to make people laugh he would have dressed like dr evil.

[ducktapesandwhich]

John McCain has a waaay better sense of humor than Obama.

[greggregoryvigilant]

John mcsame sucked. If he really wanted to make people laugh he would have dressed up like dr evil.

[Adamalgorithm]

Yes he would be funny, but terrible as president

[wunderbeast]

haha yeah he's hilarious, but i love obama's sense of humor on the stump and in interviews. that being said, mccain was a much better roaster in that dinner after the 3rd debate.

[Reqrezentin]

@ducktapesandwhich

That's because his Vietnamese friends knocked some sense into him.

[hurrikane1nov]

Why did they put the crypt keeper in this video?

[pearlofaguitar]
