Though it’s not just him - it’s all politicians. Check it:
thanks afra. will throw this on the pile with the daily show blow by blows.

goddamit, why can’t i post a pic of that right now…oh yeah. my i book is about 90 years old and and i, myself, are closin’ in for second place.
Not to sound like i’m defending him, but that video is very one-sided. You can’t blame a guy for fucking up sometmes, he is only human. Like that part with him celebrating his birthday with dubya during katrina, that’s just bullshit. There is some stuff that makes him look a little…republican, but some of this is just pish, I mean politics. They do call him on some bullshit, but whomever made that video was just desperate to just insult and point out whatever flaw they can to tarnish the guy’s image, which imo he’s doing not so bad of a job doing that himself. It’s shit like that that makes me hate politics, seeing how people can get so low and dirty, and yes, i’m talking about even the democrats, the “innocent and down to earth” ones.
I’m voting obama, but only because I consider him the lesser of the two evils. I think he’s full of shit like the rest of them.
That’s my rant.

Even if you throw everything else out, such as the “I didn’t say that” when he clearly did, how about that statement he made about Iran allowing certain people in? Come on - you’re a Senator of a country that is conducting a “war on terror”. You think you should be able to differentiate between who is who and what the picture is. The fact that another Senator (Lieberman) had to correct him by whispering in his ear is pretty shameful.
That video didn’t seem one-sided at all to me. If all that video is doing is matching his his words to his record(and it seems to me that it is) the only reason it is shamefull is because that is what McCain brought on himself. If the media was truly liberal this would be on the news and not on some website! I think Greenwalds films are great I like the Brave New films line of DVDs.

I liked the 2000 McCain - the supposed straight talking maverick etc. A Repulican who was against the religious right, pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion rights, against tax cuts for the wealthy, etc? But as this video points out, he’s flip flopped on anything that set him apart from the rest of the neo-cons. The mainstream media just seems to ignore all of that, too. They kept repeating the “John Kerry is a flip flopper” line, but they’re giving McCain a free pass when he’s even more guilty of it. If they had Obama on tape contradicting himself on virtually everything, don’t tell me that the news wouldn’t jump all over that story.
Dan Rather called it recently:

This is why the MSM fails now. Forget unbiased news. Guess which side won’t be raising corporate taxes. There you go.
I honestly hope this country isn’t so stupid as to elect McCain, but I am afraid. Very afraid. I was for Obama, but Biden as a choice has really made me reconsider. However, knowing what kind of stranglehold the 2 major parties has, means voting lesser of 2 evils AGAIN. so Obama/Biden it is.
With Biden being the head of foriegn policy, I think he’s the smart pick for Obama. But I feel ya’ bro’. WHo wants a used car salesmen holding the 2nd highest office in the free land? However, If he sticks to straight foriegn Policy I think it will be ok.
Wonder if Obama will stick any Repubs in his cabinet…It’s a forgone conclusion that We know McCain Won’t stock any democrats in his… Partisan HACK!

one of the reasons politicians “fuck up” is because - they are told what to say moments before they say it. all of these guys, Bush, mccain, obama, who-the-fuck-ever - these people don’t make decisions. they are directed. therefore, i don’t believe in the politics a lot of you do. i think it’s all bullshit.
with that said… i will be voting for obama. i will be voting for him because i think he is well spoken and will help the usa to be seen in a much more favorable light. which is what we really need right now.
maybe obama will seek counsel with some republicans like arlen specter. that guy is such a badass, and he doesn’t really care who he insults or questions.
IF mccain gets in, he’ll be catering to the religious right, uh…and the beer lobby.
i still am incensed by rudy guiliani and palin making fun of obama for being a community organizer–what’s the matter? don’t them poor niggras in chicago need some help? isn’t the idea to get people off of welfare and on a productive path?my blood boils. mccain’s sittin’ fat now b/c he’s got this young face next to him. doesn’t matter what he says, it’s all about the image.
oh, btw, if palin believes in creationism, she should ditch all the makeup, eyeglasses and clothes in her closet and appear naked onstage.
(oh. i think i just unleashed a monster.)

i knew i’d unleashed a monster.
yup.palin doesn’t believe in evolution, science, well then what about the polyester threads in those clothes. or the technology to get you a prescription.or the chemists who’ve done their jobs to get you eye shadow and lipstick and moisturizer and soap and contact lens cleaner (and the plastic case you store them in). the garbage bags you use every day.
how’s about your ability to shoot a moose or get on an airplane and fly to the next bogus rebublican meeting of great minds.
guess all this shit happened because of god’s will.
guess god dropped a rifle into sarah palin’s hands and said,“this is your mission…”
You are soooooo wrong…God GAVE them those ideas! It’s totally God’s will! Hail the creator!

oh man. god gave me a brain to fight evil shit like this.
uh, ok…creationism and no science.
dump the milk that’s been pasteurized, and throw the butter in there while you’r e at it.
don’t eat any fruits or vegetables that have been harvested by a commercial processing plant–they use machinery to clean your produce and disinfect for all sorts of varmints.
what year is this?
anybody read upton sinclair?
i need to find sarah palin’s list of banned books. she doesn’t want education. she wants doctrine.

Word up. Clothes off.
wolf in sheeps clothing
skin her alive and boil her in her own urine… that’s the only real way to kill this succubus
before i completely lose it, one of you guys please get the banned books list. this should be hilarious–usual suspects:nabokov’s lolita; salinger’s catcher in the rye.
maybe we aughta put the bill of rights in there(first 10 amendments to the us constitution) that’d be a good one to ban.
i have no fear–and fuck these idiots.
damn. i’m a badass.
(well, maybe i just give a crap about my country)
roll.

Good Lord! LOL! Where did you come up with that recipe? (or should I say res-a-PEE [Comedy genius I tells ya!])

The banned books list is fake.
She asked the librarian HOW to ban books, but never asked that any actually be banned.
