It’s not over yet!

Former Republican prez candidate Johnny McCain is going to run for a 5th Senate term.

His current term ends in 2010, but he and his senior advisers decided Tuesday night to form a political action committee to prepare for his reelection.

We think that’s just fine.

Just as long as Sexy Sarah stays far far away from him!

Poor John McCain.

It must be tough having to go out and lie to everyone!

Tuesday night, McCain was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno for his first interview since losing the presidential election, and he had some interesting things to say.

Like the fact that McCain believes Sarah Palin didn’t cost him the election.

We concur, she probably didn’t cost him the entire election, but she was definitely a reason why some MANY people were hesitant to vote for him!

McCain stated, “I’m so proud of her and I’m very grateful she agreed to run with me. She inspired people, she still does. I couldn’t be happier with Sarah Palin.“

He did add, “I could tell you a lot of things that we may have made mistakes on,” but never went on to list them.

Mistake #1: Getting tricked into choosing Sarah Palin for VP.

And in reference to anonymous top officials disclosing Palin’s outrageous shopping sprees, McCain stated, “I think I’ve at least a thousand, quote, top advisers. A top adviser stated? … I’ve never even heard of … a top adviser or a high-ranking Republican official.”

He didn’t directly address the wardrobe issue.

McCain then added about Palin, “The people were very excited and inspired by her. That’s what really mattered, I think. She’s a great reformer.”

And when Leno asked if he would run again in 2012 when he’ll be 76, McCain admitted, “I wouldn’t think so. We’re going to have another generation of leaders come along.”

This is just too good to be true!!!

A witness snapped photos of Cindy McCain trading smooches with a fellow who was not hubby and ex-prez candidate John, who is Cindy’s senior by 18 years.

Uh-oh.

Losing an election because you shot yourself in the foot can really put a strain on your personal relationships.

The spy said he couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched Cindy lock lips with a dude he describes to the National Enquirer as a “washed-up 80s rock star.”

The pair have actually been spotted at a few concerts and sporting events in Arizona, canoodling away. These grainy pictures were taken at the Tempe Music Festival. Another witness caught them making out at a Moody Blues concert.

Sounds like some Nights in White Satin!

A McCain spokesperson declined to comment altogether, which makes us positively giddy with gossip.

It’s true the photos are pretty low quality, but just look at the hair!

Sarah Palin is still trying to stay in the public’s eye and she’s attacking her own political party!

Palin recently spoke to the Anchorage Daily News and said that she and John McCain lost because the Republican ticket “represented too much of the status quo.”

She continued by saying that it was President George W. Bush’s administration that ruined the the GOP brand, adding that it was “amazing” the McCain camp did as well as they did.

We agree. With Palin as his running mate, we’re surprised they kept it as close they did for as long as they did!

Palin states, “I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration?”

And the intelligent Palin added, “If we’re talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented, and that’s to a great degree what the Republican Celebration at the time had been representing. So people desiring change, I think, went as far from the administration that is presently seated as they could. It’s breathtaking that we did as well as we did.”

She also adds that she was “frustrated” at all the misinformation the media spread about her and her family.

Palin states, “Some of the goofy things, like who was Trig’s mom. Well, I’m Trig’s mother, and do you want to see my medical records to prove that? And banning books. That was a ridiculous thing also that could have so easily been corrected just by a reporter taking an extra step and not basing a report on gossip or speculation.”

So, on to the important question. Will Palin run for President in 2012?

Palin didn’t specifically confirm the news when asked, but she did mention that polls often switch.

Saying, “Look how fickle poll numbers are. Look where I’ve gone, up and down, up and down, even in the say of Alaska the last couple of months. We can’t pay attention to those numbers.”

Let’s just hope people aren’t stupid enough to elect her as a candidate for 2012.

Embedded video from CNN Video

She’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Ejected VP candidate Sarah Palin opened up to CNN on Friday and slammed McCain campaign advisors for telling lies.

She absolutely knows Canada is part of North America!

And, of course she knew that Africa is a continent!

Check out the video.

It will make you smile!

More details are being released about Sarah Palin and her sexy ways!

Such as the fact that she once greeted some John McCain staff members by wearing nothing more than a towel.

Hawt!!!

According to Newsweek, “At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys’ club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. “I’ll be just a minute,” she stated.”

Very classy, right?

Oh, and remember those reports that Sarah spent over $150,000 on clothes? Well, it seems she actually spent more!

Newsweek also reports that “Palin’s shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide stated that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to purchase three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family–clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were purchased by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill.”

“Palin also used low-level staffers to purchase some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent “tens of thousands” more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to purchase clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,” and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Celebration audits its books.”

Actually, we better see ALL of her outfits being donated or auctioned for charity as reports had previously stated.

Shady, Sarah. Shady!

Oh, and even superior, it turns out Palin requested to talk after McCain’s concession speech yesterday, but luckily campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

Such an attention whore.

The entire country is better off this day.

Well, anticipate for Alaska.

We hate it when celebutards do shit like this!!!

In a recent interview with the UK’s The Guardian, Akon opens up about what he’ll do if McCain wins the presidency.

According to the musician, he’ll give up his citizenship and return to Africa!

Seriously.

Can we buy you a ticket back???

Akon states, “If he [Obama] doesn’t get into office, I’m gonna change my citizenship. I’m moving back to Africa. You can hold me to that. I’m afraid to live there if he [McCain] is President. The decisions he makes scare me: he’s making selfish decisions, he’s doing whatever it takes to get into office.”

So insightful.

As for those bad decisions, Akon says one of them is selecting Palin as his running mate.

He adds, “I don’t think he’s going to last eight years so she’s definitely going to be president. Oh my goodness - that’s scarier. And who would be her running mate? Joe the Plumber?”

Ha! Ok, that was pretty funny.

Akon continue, “I’m very afraid. If the people don’t see [that life in America will deteriorate under McCain], then that’s a perilous place to be for the next four years. I can’t even envision how bad it’s gonna be. I see it now - like, I’m driving down the highway, and I see vehicles parked with their emergency lights on because [people] can’t afford to purchase gas. You’ve got families walking, carrying infants to the next exit to take a taxi, because the taxi will get them home cheaper than the gas.”

Akon also thinks the last elections were fixed.

He says, “I really, really hope that Obama gets in, but I don’t want to jinx him. It’s too early to say, because I do

He’s such a thinker!

We don’t wanna see McCai win, but - if he does - Akon superior get packin’!

With Election Day TOMORROW, Sarah Palin has yet to release the medical records the campaign promised two weeks ago.

And it looks like it’s not gonna happen at all!

Two weeks ago, Palin’s team told reporters that the records were coming.

When the records didn’t appear last week, an aide rescinded the deadline and admitted it wasn’t known if the records would be made public or not.

Conversely, Obama, Biden, and even McCain - albeit briefly - have offered up their medical records.

Sketchy!

John McCain deserves a nice pat on the back for pulling in a large audience for Saturday Night Live this past weekend.

According to reports, the McCain episode drew a 9.0 rating/20 share overnight household rating in 56 markets.

But, it wasn’t good enough to match or exceed the numbers Sarah Palin delivered to SNL a few weeks ago.

The Alaskan governor rounded up a 10.7/24 share rating and the honor of being the draw for the MOST WATCHED SNL show since December 1997.

Wonder how Johnny feels about playing second fiddle to his #2?

The creepily ambitious moose hunter is probably LOVING the fact that she again has proved to be more ‘popular’ than the old senator!

John McCain must dying of embarrassment.

His VP pick has been involved in yet another huge eff up!

Sarah Palin and her handlers were tricked into thinking that she was taking part in a Saturday afternoon phone interview with French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

The people who were actually on the other end of the line were two Canadian comedians, called The Masked Avengers, who have a regular show on Montreal radio station CKOI.

The shiz they throw at Sexy Sarah is pretty ridiculous!

Wonder if anyone from the Palin camp was fired last night?!

This is somewhat shocking, funny, and yet sad at the same time.

A resident of Chapel Hill, N.C., was very upset that someone kept stealing his McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard.

So, Shawn Turschak decided to do something about it! And, being an electrical engineer really helped.

Earlier this week, Turschak decided to hook up a third sign to a power source belonging to an electric pet fence. He also hooked up a surveillance camera to catch the thief.

And, to everyone’s surprise, this time around it was a 9 year-old boy, with an Obama-Biden sign in his hand, that grabbed the McCain sign and got a jolt of electricity.

The child’s father is upset that his son got shocked, so he showed up at Turschak’s door along with an Orange County Sheriff.

As for the boy’s dad, he says his kid just wanted to see how the sign was put together.

Riiiiiight.

Turschak says the boy intended to swap out the signs.

But, in Turschak’s defense, he did put up signs warning of electrical shocks.

No charges are said to be filed and Turschak did remove the electric shockers.

The following day, though, his camera caught another person stealing another McCain-Palin sign off his property!

CLICK HEREto see footage of the kid getting shocked. Thankfully it wasn’t anything hurtful, but we doubt the kid will be trespassing again anytime soon.

Does John McCain’s family think they’re above the law?

Apparently, his brother does!

Joe McCain was was stuck in traffic on October 21st in Alexandria, VA. Extremely upset by the traffic backup, the possible future president’s brother decided he would call 911 to complain.

WTF?!?!?!

And he called TWICE!

Here’s how the first call went:

Operator: 911 state your emergency
Caller: Well, it’s not an emergency but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95, traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic’s coming the other way?
Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic? (pause)
Caller: “Fuck you.” (caller hangs up)

So then, the 911 Operator, apparently a bit confused and bothered that someone would call an emergency number to complain about traffic, called back the number that placed the 911 call.

And instead of an answer, got his voicemail instead.

McCain’s voicemail said, “Hi this is Joe McCain I can’t take this message now because I’m involved in a very (inaudible) important political project… I hope on Nov. 4th we have elected John.”

After receiving the message on his phone, an even more upset McCain called 911 again to bitch. That conversation went as follows:

Caller: Somebody gave me this riot act about the violation of police.
Operator: Did you just call 911 in reference to this?
Caller: Yeah.
Operator: 911 is to be used for emergencies only, not just because you’re sitting in traffic.

The McCain campaign refused to comment. Nice!

If Joe is this way now, imagine how he’ll behave on a power trip if his brother does become president?
