The Big McCain: Mark It Zero
October 13th, 2008 by Jeff Simmermon
A disgruntled Vietnam Vet with a foul mouth and a serious anger management problem is not the kind of guy I’d like to have running the country. Hell, I wouldn’t even want him on my bowling team.
John McCain and Walter Sobchak — John Goodman’s character in ‘The Big Lebowski’ — seem like they have a lot in common, once you think about it. David pointed this out to me the other day, and we got pretty obsessed. So we partnered up with Chad Williams of PBC Productions to mash together one of John Goodman’s titanic tantrums in “The Big Lebowski” with some images of John McCain’s face … hope it’s as fun for you as it is for us.
You can see a hi-res version here, or just check it out on Youtube below:

Excellent, excellent. This is one of the most Digg-worthy videos I’ve ever seen. Good work.

Will’s Right. This clip is lame. Go back to humping sheep, Ass Clown!

too bad you couldn’t animate his mouth, Terry Gilliam style.
I like your comparison of McCain to Walter, though. Quite apt. I think you’ve adroitly encapsulated how a lot of us feel about the possibility of this dude getting elected.

This is fantastic. I sent it to about a hundred people. In last night’s debate, McCain looked like he was one anger management impulse away from leaping for Obama’s throat.

I kept picturing McCain around a bargaining table with the Chinese or the Koreans. Yeah, I could see this happening. God forbid he gets the chance.
Is there a metal detector going into the Senate Office Building (for the Senators, that is)?

[...] Mark it zero. This is surprisingly well done. [...]

Man, Jeff–You ACTUALLY got a comment from John McCain himself! And he told you to go hump sheep! You must be so honored.
