McCain: Keep drilling for oil.
Cressbeckler: Use immigrants.
Joad just lost quite a lot of support from the Republican base.

I'm confused by this. Is this real? The guy seems made up, but when I google him he turns up surprising amounts of links.
Though how can a man how lives in a shed in the mountains somewhere even know where Washington is?
On a unrelated note, I just installed google chrome (to test what it's like, I'm not quitting ol trusty Firefox just yet) but the installed spelling checker doesn't recognise the word google. Ironic, but hey it's Chrome.

"I'm confused by this. Is this real? The guy seems made up, but when I google him he turns up surprising amounts of links."
You have me confused, fella. Are you sincerely asking if The Onion is legit, or are you only pretending to be softheaded?
I didn't see an 'LOL' or ;) so... am I really to assume that you are this bloody daft?
Nah. No one could be that clueless.
Tell me, what's your comedic angle. I don't get what's funny about pretending to think The Onion is real. Had you lead to some punchline, perhaps it would've made sense. But, you didn't.
(scratches head)
Help me out here.

I was wondering whether the character they put down here was real. I know the Onion is satirical and not everything would be real in this clip.
On the other hand, it's America. These people exist. Some of them even run for president or VP.
You have to agree with me that this could have been real.

"On the other hand, it's America. These people exist."
You make a good point here.
But, nevertheless, dumb America or not - you don't get a pass.
Shit guy. Even America isn't that retarded. Did you listen to the stuff he was saying to the crowd? Everything in The Onion is schlock. You should know this.
Unfortunately, blatant ignorance comes with a price. So, put this hat on and go stand in the corner.
Perhaps this punishment will teach you to develop better BS detection (you will need in the coming months, fella).

ST, meet EM. When the first snows and heavy frosts sweep onto Vancouver Island, he'll become quiet (I think). He can maybe be best compared to a grizzly bear. You know, these grizzlies always gorge themselves on just about everything (including berries) before winter sets in, and then settle down nice and easy in some hole deep in the ground ... zzzzzz ... Come spring, and he'll find out that McCain and Palin are in office -- and these people are very much in favor of bear hunting.
