More Idiocy in the McCain Camp – Governor Arnold
The idiocy from the McCain camp has never failed to reach new heights; its depth of stupidity has never failed to surprise. Perhaps this is no fault of John McCain himself, but surely, he appears to surround himself with idiots.
It was merely a week ago that an article surfaced, recounting an incident where John McCain’s brother, “Joe-the-plumber’, called 911 because he was stuck in traffic; a clear abuse of civil services. A well-educated 2nd grader should know dialing 911 is for emergencies only and perhaps a not-so-educated 5th grader, but a brother of a presidential candidate? I mean, really?
Just as I was recovering from shock caused by the ridiculousness of the news, I came upon this criticism from California Governor Arnold (Schwarzenegger) on Obama during a Republican rally:
“He (Obama) needs to do something about those skinny legs, make him do some squats. And give him some bicep curls to beef up those scrawny little arms.”
Disregarding the perpetual loss of lives in Iraq and Afghanistan and the economic turmoil of the nation, Arnold chose to criticize a much more pressing issue, Obama’s physiques.
In case Arnold is new to the country and has not seen pictures of some of the past US Presidents, none of them have had exactly buns of steels while in office. In fact, one of our most beloved Presidents, John F. Kennedy, (also Arnold’s uncle-in-law) had a similar body build to Obama’s.
Granted, crude criticisms are sometimes tremendously effective. Despite how wrong it was, Anne Coulter’s remarks on John Edwards being a ‘faggot’ imprinted a lasting impression of him in my mind (albeit, that most politicians caught in gay scandals are republicans).
Yet, the absurdity here, was that Arnold’s criticism was not at all beneficial to the Republican Party. Picture a crowd who (for reasons beyond me) can identify with Arnold’s comment. “Yes, Obama’s legs ARE skinny! We don’t want that. We want…umm…. McCain?”
Right. To anyone with no visual defects, it is obvious that McCain loses in every physical match-up possible: height, muscle tone, hair on head, facial symmetry, dress style, sexual appeal, stance, and physical strength. So at the end of it all, criticizing Obama’s physique is like laughing at someone’s delicious ice cream cone while munching on a piece of dried-up broccoli.
It’s all very absurd how the brains of Arnold really functions. The idiocy is so overwhelming and illogical that I’m starting to believe these Republicans are actually spies from the Democratic Party, trying to taint the Republican’s image.
I’m glad that the Governor of California feels the need to make people do “bicep curls and squats.” We understand the most Americans have nothing better to do than to look like a body-builder amidst this economic crisis.
