Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. FUDGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE
Let's begin. And remember, quotes from John McCain and the John McCain campaign that does speak for John McCain, as well as key titles, are in bold.
Before we get into the "Housing-Gate Gaffes", there are two sets of other blunders from The Spatula that are also part of our show today.
The “I won the debate no matter what” Saddlebrook Gaffes
1.Maybe I meant Euros, or Pounds, or Monopoly Paper." Gaffe (A Carry Over From Last Week)
WARREN: Everybody talks about, you know, taxing the rich, but not the poor, the middle class. At what point, give me a number, give me a specific number. Where do you move from middle class to rich? [...]
MCCAIN: How about $5 million? No, but seriously, I don’t think you can, I don’t think seriously that the point is I’m trying to make, seriously, and I’m sure that comment will be distorted but the point is...that we want to keep people’s taxes low, and increase revenues. ... So, it doesn’t matter really what my definition of rich is because I don’t want to raise anybody’s taxes. I really don’t.
2. The "Keep My Name Out of Your Mouth" Gaffe
John McCain had the utter gall to name John Lewis, a Congressman from Georgia who has a historic Civil Rights track record, one of his closest advisors along with Meg Whittman and not surprisngly, General David Petarus.
“The three wisest people that you know that you would rely on heavily in an administration."
Lewis and McCain aren't friends. Hell, Lewis probably hates McCain. And he made sure with this response that it would behove the Arizona Senator not to mention his name again.
“Sen. McCain and I are colleagues in the US Congress, not confidantes. He does not consult me. And I do not consult him.”
3. The "We, I mean, 'They' voted on bears and it bares with Congress" Gaffe
McShame hypocrisy hits again, thanks to MSNBC's Hardball
McCain voted in favor of the project because it was part of a large spending bill with the bear project. Back in 2003, McCain could have blocked the project, but instead, he didn't. Yet, he blames Congress (which he forgets that he is apart of) for this bill?! Anybody with a rational soul could see through this A-hole.
The Keith Olbermann Smackdown Gaffes
4. The "Cone of Listening to an Abba song on the Radio" Gaffe
5. The "He Ain't One of Us so He Doesn't Care About Us" Gaffe
6. The "Mrs. Alan Greenspan, whose husband is a Republican economic hero for keeping us rich and pompus, but she's bias liberal reporting" Gaffe
Olbermann will explain them to you down below if you haven't seen his classic slapdown on McCain yet, but here's the quick preview for those who don't know. Number 4 is the horrible management at the Rick Warren's Saddlebrook forum last week in Orange County, California, when Warren promised that McCain was going to be in a back room secluded while Barack Obama took question from Warren. Turns out, he wasn't even in the BUILDING!
Number 5 is his lies, distortions, and utter usual BS about Obama not being for the troops but for his own politicial gain (i.e. calling him basically a traitor, which is the most excoriating thing a presidental candidate can say to another, or any politician in any country to another.)
And Number 6 is the SOP's latest "liberal media bias" asinine cliam to take the pressure of their pathetic candidate.
We'll take a commercial break, and when we come back, the highlight of our episode. The "Housing, Out of Touch" Gaffes
We are back.
And now, the Housing, Property, Homes Special Edition of the Program
On August 21, John McCain would had officially, if it shouldn't have already, ended his Presidental campaign with this disastrous moment of all disastrous moments under a sane, fair, and down right good media world. Instead, this is the only consolation, as the race continues. But, oh, it is a spectacle and a story that will never be forgotten from anyone, FOREVER. You just can't make these gaffes up. Here's 7, 8, and 9 (probably still less than the number of houses he has).
7. The "Now Rev. Wright, Rezko, and Ayers is Fair Game" Gaffe
"Awwwwwwwwww" and "F---" was indeed the reaction from the "greatly exaggerated" Maverick one and his Low Road team, and what do they decide to do in order to fix this "out of touch" image now placed on McCain instead of on "from the bottom to top" Obama? They do this:
8. The "Driver, Can We Go to a Drive Through Window at Starbucks" Gaffe
Yes, McCain went to Starbucks in his Limo. At least that's BALLINNNNNN!
(From NMDAD)
Paris, eat your heart out!
9. Then "Oh, the Cars Too" Gaffe
In our News interview, he was asked what kind of car he drove. As with Politico’s question about home ownership, he didn’t know and had to ask a nearby aide. “A Cadillac CTS,” she told him. But then the senator was quick to point out that he had bought his daughter a Prius — the prefect (sic) halo symbol for his green pretensions. [...]

Inspred from a McCain comment in January:
10. The "Don't Ask Me to Send You to a Salvation Army Shelter While I asked You to be in THEE Army" Gaffe
"Even if the economy is the, quote, number one issue, the real issue will remain America's security," [McCain] said. "If it's not the most important issue in the minds of many voters, America's security will remain the number one issue with me. And if they choose to say, 'Look, I do not need this guy because he's not as good on home loan mortgages,' or whatever it is, I understand that. I will accept that verdict. I am running because of the transcendent challenge of the twenty-first century, which is radical Islamic extremism, as you know."
And finally, because there aren't any public gaffes to report on, unbelivably, for the rest of the week, the last one.
11. The "Dog always eats my..... I just can't study for test because I.....I'm too short to play sports so I.....I can be like Giuliani and list because I...........I'm not going to give you excuses but I'll give you excuses" Gaffe(s)
Well, they will use this the rest of the way for every mistake we mention here. For a visual look to those who may not know what I'm talking about, here is more fan photos, thanks to TBCTBC)
And on that note, we leave you with this week's Reading Rainbow moment:
