McCain: Snickr

So you know Flickr, where you can browse online photos people take?

Have a gander at Snickr, where you can browse online potshots people take at McCain. Snickr is what you'll do when you read quips collected at this DailyKos diary that has visited the McCain website and archived all the best, snarkiest comments about McCain Golf Gear (so environmentally correct, golf!!) so you don't have get your ISP dirty by clicking over to the official McCain website yourself. For some strange reason, there's a tug of war going on with snarky reviews and comments of McCain golf balls posted, then removed, and others taking their place.

A few of my favorites:

Balls June 11, 2008 Reviewer:  Jesus H. Crist from Lime jello cottage cheese background
Adequate replacements for the balls I was required to leave behind last time I visited Bob Jones University

Iraq Forever!!! June 10, 2008
Reviewer: Mitt Romney from Boston, MA United States
I thought that I would give this McBush golf set to Dad for Father's Day as a way to commemorate his leaving Mom for the younger, blonder, much richer woman!!

Enjoy! And pass along to your friends and loved ones in the military! You know, they're the ones who won't be able to use the GI Bill til they've put in as many years of service as John McCain.

Cynematic plans to make a laughingstock of McCain for the next six months. There is just so much to work with. She blogs at P i l l o w b o o k.

I'll be honest. As tempted as I am to join in the potshots against McCain, I just can't do it. I know how pissed I get when it's done back on someone I support, and even though he's snarky and nasty and mean, I get no joy out of snarking back at him.

I desperately want to snark. Just not about his wife or personal life.

Hmmm, I think he-man McCain, the career military man who has probably done, witnessed, endured, said, and condoned things that would make my and your hair curl, can probably roll with whatever the snarkiest of the snarks on his website leave him.

He's said to be charming and colorful--or is that off-color?-- and therefore disarming on the campaign trail among journos. The whole "maverick" thing. So maybe the digs on McCain's website are a way to get past that "loveable curmudgeon" persona, and make some of his more noxious actions and words stick.

A lot of the wits tie McCain's golf-themed campaign tchotchkes to Bush's hollow (and false) claim to have given up golf in honor of the hardship American servicemen and women undergo fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. So both mens' pieties, hypocrisies, and blatant panderings beg for deflating.
