Raining Fury On John McCain [Walnuts!]
Published 3/21/2008 by Jim Newell at Wonkette
From a new Franklin & Marshall poll: "Among Obama supporters, 20 percent said they would vote for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee, if Clinton beats their candidate for the nomination. Among Clinton supporters, 19 percent said they would support McCain in November if Obama is the Democratic nominee." Wah wah wah, wah wah wah, wah. It's nothing to worry about, because we have the perfect cure for this "I would vote for McCain" virus that's spreading. The most effective anti-McCain propaganda film yet, after the jump! MAKE IT VIRAL, THE ...

Raining McCain
Published 3/23/2008 by Miss Cellania at YesButNoButYes Stories
Back when we published Obama Girl vs Giuliani Girl (and other love songs), John McCain barely registered in our consciousnesses. Since then, the more flamboyant republicans nominees have flamed out one by one, and The McCain girls set out to rectify the grievous lack of McCain fan songs. ...

OMG, it's rainin' McCain

!! OMG, it's rainin' McCain !! This new DIY political ad for John McCain supports a fact I have long maintained: Republicans can't sing. Don't miss the sexy eyes from the older lady in the blue sweater at 2:08 and the general dumb sluttiness from the one in the black off-the-shoulder number. (via Feyfriends ...

It’s Raining…McCain?
Published 3/24/2008 by bfred at Complex
Politics It’s Raining…McCain? If elections were decided by pop culture buzz, Republican candidate John McCain would be dead last. After Barack Obama went viral with a little help from Obama Girl and will.i.am (and Hillary supporters put out their lame attempts ), it seemed as if Republicans were still struggling to figure out this whole “U-tube” thing that the kids have been talking about. Well, thanks to three pleasantly plump ladies known as “McCain Girls ,” the straight talk express may be going digital. Check out their remake of the Weather Girls’ “It’s Raining Men,” now called (what else?) ...

Clinton Morphing Into Obama

Well Now I'm Voting For John McCain [Webtards]
Published 3/24/2008 by Nick Douglas at Gawker
Not only are these ladies almost a year late for the "Obama Girl" craze, they're so deliciously terrible and so enthusiastic that I laughed until, for the second time ever, YouTube made me cry. The backing track sounds like it's from a Game Boy. The women are, well, they don't look like Obama Girl (although one looks like Fat Jenna from 30 Rock). One of them has pants that disappear on greenscreen. And in the final chorus it's literally raining McCain. This video is the metric equivalent of ten thousand nights of karaoke. ...

Cover Your Ears
Published 3/24/2008 by Michael K at Dlisted - Be Very Afraid
Obama has that hot chick as his Obama Girl and John McCain has these lovely ladies. It fits. These are The McCain Girl s and they put out some shit on YouTube of them singing along to one of the gayest songs in history: " It's Raining Men. " They cleverly changed the title to " It's Raining McCain. " My favorite of the three is the woman that looks like Bonnie Brindle from " Small Wonder ." First of all, her pants are melting into the green screen. Second of all, she barely knows the lyrics. Those two other chicks probably needed a third and nobody would do it, so they kidnapped poor Bonnie Brindle from the local supermarket and ...

Weird Web Wednesdays: Jewno

Weird Web Wednesdays: Jewno Posted by Sean on March 26th, 2008 Filed under: Weird Web Wednesdays This week’s featured viral video may not be the first parody of Juno to hit the web, but I believe it is the first to star J.K. Simmons reprising his role as the exasperated father. For that alone I give it 4 stars! Also this week on Weird Web Wednesday, Toby Radloff offers his truly nerdy take on the Star Wars movies, a group of soldiers in Iraq ghost ride the whip while out on patrol, and one lucky cat gets the opportunity to jump out of a plane. Also don’t miss the best idea for an internet talk show yet, ...

Revolver Gets Political, Dave Grohl Performs "Songs About Love And Hope And Compassion"

Revolver Gets Political, Dave Grohl Performs "Songs About Love And Hope And Compassion" Inspired by the race to the White House, the new issue of Revolver features politico-rock superfriends M. Shadows, Dave Havok, Serj Tankian, Randy Blythe, and Dave Grohl on the red-white- & -blue cover. A lot like this ! (Hmm, let's hope the choice has better results this time.) Here's an excerpt from the "Hard Rock The Vote" roundtable. Spoiler alert: Rockers are Democrats! (Unless you're called the Nuge, or played guitar in in the Ramones, etc..)

McCain Girls Do Eurythmics, Are Less Funny The Second Time
Published 4/7/2008 by Stereogum at Stereogum
McCain Girls Do Eurythmics, Are Less Funny The Second Time The McCain girls had their 15 MBs of fame with " Raining McCain ." We can all agree that was enough out of them. Well, all of us but for the McCain Girls. Here the trio make us not laugh much to the tune of the Eurythmics' "Here Comes The Rain Again." That was great, ladies. We're starting to get the premise, we think. So here's to you, and to more compelling parodies like "Vote McCain" (to the tune of Blind Melon's "No Rain"), "Purple McCain," "A Hard McCain's Gonna Fall," and of course "McCaindrops Keep Falling On My Head." Eat your heart out, Detroit ...

Dylan, the most acclaimed and influential songwriter of the past half century, who more than anyone brought rock from the streets to the lecture hall, received an honorary Pulitzer Prize on Monday, cited for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.” It was the first time Pulitzer judges, who have long favored classical music, and, more recently, jazz, awarded an art form once ...

McCain Girls - Raining McCain

We'll warn you to turn down the sound for this one. Not all the way off...just down. We can't decide if this is an example, metaphor or parable for this election...or even if that matters. But we are scared for what they would do to a candidate they don't like.

McCain Girls Not Helping McCain

McCain Girls Not Helping McCain Who knew? McCain has his own bevy of Obama Girls. Well, sort of. These girls aren't exactly in the same hotness category as Obama Girl nor do they appear all that excited about their candidate. Nor can they sing. Not that looks or singing ability have anything when it comes to support of a presidential candidate. The McCain Girls first did Raining McCain ...

Annie Lennox fans, be warned: Travel the world and the seven seas, and you may never find a campaign endorsement as hilariously bad as this one.

Breasts And Jokes Battle It Out For Your Votes
Published 4/28/2008 at Starpulse Entertainment News Blog
Barack Obama Millions may see political ads bashing or supporting McCain , Clinton , or Obama , but that's only because they're in between regularly scheduled programming. It takes a special breed of political footage to get people to choose to watch it, and it doesn't even need to be forceful, immediate, or full of relevant information. As the Obama Girl proved, it might be enough just to have scantily clad women. And just when it seemed as though bikinis and flesh had the political viral video market cornered, 236.com came into the fray with its stable of comedy writers from ...

Barack Obama is like Kermit the Frog: Someone else may be your personal favorite, but he's the one that gets the most attention, so he's the one who ends up in all the parodies.

McCain Would Make Blacks Miss Bush
Published 5/30/2008 by Carmen Dixon at Black Voices Blogs
[image] John McCain is showing no love to black Republicans say some who are being left out of his campaign outreach . According to Yvonne R. Davis, a former national co-chair for African Americans for Bush , McCain's efforts to enlist black support pale in comparison to soon to be former President George Bush's. Minus a couple of black folks seen with him on the campaign trail, you still don't see many in the room with McCain when he is meeting and greeting or standing in crowds. What you see with McCain are packs of what Ron Heifetz in the Harvard Executive Leadership School calls older "silverback" white males. ...
