Anyone else think that McCain just had a medical emergency?

[anonymous171]

That's why he's trying to postpone the debate AND why he is suspending his campaign (no more campaign stops.)

[azmouse]

1. Interesting....

maybe another cancer scare?

[YDogg]

2. doesn't he have a biopsy about once a month?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Yeah.

His chronic cowardice was just complicated by an acute case of weaseling.

[babylonsister]

33. Oh, snap! nt

[blondeatlast]

35. Now that's a Fristian diagnosis I can agree with, Doctor! nt

[spinbaby]

4. I don't think they could keep that a secret

Probably he's just tired and confused.

[BlooInBloo]

5. His whole life is a medical emergency.

[AtomicKitten]

6. Sure, if dropping in the polls is a medical emergency.

[BlooInBloo]

11. Your snark is better than mine.

[AtomicKitten]

20. mine is buttressed by smartassery and caffeine withdrawal

[Starlight]

23. A panic attack could be a "medical emergency," right?

[AtomicKitten]

he's suffering from the heartbreak of poll-dropping dysfunction

[Cooley Hurd]

7. Just the thought of debating Obama gave McChicken an emergency...

...in his Depends.:evilgrin:

[madaboutharry]

8. I have thought this as well.

Something is going on.

[DJ13]

9. Good possibility

Or this is a time out to revamp his campaign staff.

[1corona4u]

10. No, he crapped his panties. Nothing more.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. DAMN YOU!!!!!1

I missed your post before replying below. :evilgrin:

[roguevalley]

25. chemo can alter your mind. I think something bad is happening here.

[anneboleyn]

39. I wonder -- someone on another thread suggested that he has had a stroke

But it is hard to imagine that he would want to cancel the debate, unless there was something serious going on (besides the economic crisis, that is)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. If you call "shitting your pants" a medical emergency then dure. nt

[Shakespeare]

13. Maybe a code brown in his pants over the new poll numbers.

I think they're just desperate to refocus media attention.

[musette_sf]

14. yeah, i bet he had a medical emergency

like shitting his pants when his manager was found with his hand in the Freddie Mac till. three days before a debate. where the financial crisis would undoubtedly be a lead topic.

[soothsayer]

15. I bet you it is the Sarah Palin Nat. Enquirer article, as bizarre as that sounds

[Vinca]

17. No, it's just a cheap political ploy. Now we're all supposed to clutch

our chests and thank God for John McCain as our leader.:rofl:

[alsame]

18. I think Joe's foreign policy speech this morning scared him silly.

[mamalone]

19. You know what?

I just posted about the odd picture of him that is up on CNN today...http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7167164 He looks really ill to me...

[KurtNYC]

21. maybe - did you see the picture of him yesterday just sticking his tongue out?

Metro ran it but I can't find it online. He is shaking hands on one of those barricade lines and he just has his tongue out like Michael Jordan going in for a dunk. But it actually looks like a mental thing -- like his McBrain is having trouble controlling his McBody.

[cottonseed]

22. Yes, he's urinating uncontrollably.

[TahitiNut]

24. They're trying to find a replacement head.

There's actually more than mere hyperbole here. The McCain campaign is in intensive care. His campaign manager (Davis) is breathing through a straw right now, with the revelation that he's LIED about being on the pad for this entire fiasco.

McCain is on the edge of LOSING everything ... meltdown ... down in flames. He's piloting another crash. He's grasping at straws.

Now is not the time to give him even an inch ... DESTROY the motherfuckers!

26. "I've fallen in the polls and I can't get up!"

[sufrommich]

27. It's called presidentitis degeneration.nt

[ShortnFiery]

28. I don't know, but I'm willing to *whisper* it ... kind of like the right did with Biden.

:evilgrin:

[woodsprite]

29. I heard he was going to have a craniorectalectomy. n/t

[Aloha Spirit]

30. I was absolutely thinking this because of the campaign suspension.

What exactly will McCain be doing between now and the end of the bailout resolution? Cheerleading?
Other members of his party in the Senate should be leading on this, not him. What exactly can he bring to the table, an abacus perhaps.

[Erin Elizabeth]

36. HELL in his comments on CNN he said we don't know WHAT

to do, so what the fuck?

[pansypoo53219]

31. georgee calling wolf on the economy

hasn't scared the sheeple enough. mcPecker trying to call wolf himself. BE AFRAID!

[Erin Elizabeth]

32. Hold on, no more campaign stops and he's pulling his ads

AND he wants the debates postponed?

WTF? Is his campaign about to implode or something?

[crazy_vanilla]

34. a very interesting thought

[Barack_America]

37. Does "the stupid" count as a "medical emergency"?

If so, yes.

[vanderBeth]

38. People have suggested he had a stroke...or botched botox. Here's the pic.
