Even John McCain Hates the Guatemalans
Faithful readers of ¡Ask a Mexican! know that my favorite whipping boy is the Guatemalans. Turns out, according to Time magazine's blog, chapines also serve the same purpose for presidential candidate John McCain. Is the Mexican influencing national sentiment toward the Mayan menace?
May 21, 2007McCain Gets his Gooks
We like Arizona Senator and Republican presidential candidate John McCain much more than his automaton flip-flopper (and Hugh Hewitt favorite) main opponent, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. But we've never been able to understand why Little Saigon's power brokers never asked McCain to apologize back in 2000, when he appeared before thousands in Westminster's Asian Garden Mall a couple of weeks after referring to Vietnamese as "gooks." McCain offered spin prior to appearing, explainin
January 31, 2008Can Someone Please Tell Hugh Hewitt...
...that his attempted branding of James Dobson's diatribe against John McCain as the "Dobson Declaration" smacks of lame Churchillian aspirations? Gracias.
February 5, 2008Baby Hewie Also Pollyanna
As Mitt Romney goes down in defeat after crushing defeat, Hugh Hewitt desperately continues to spin for his book subject by focusing on. . .the small margin of victory by which John McCain will win his home state of Arizona. "Given the Rush blast, the Dobson declaration, and Huck's strength in the south," Baby Hewie gasps, "McCain can't be considered a frontrunner by any conventional standard." And your boy Mitt will, Baby Hewie? Sucker's only won his home state so far--and the last time I e

February 5, 2008When Your Candidate is Decimated, What's One to Do?
Spin, of course! And that's exactly what Hugh Hewitt is doing. Despite his book boy Mitt Romney getting slammed tonight from the moderate wing by John McCain and by the right via the suddenly resurgent Mike Huckabee, Baby Hewie continues to insist there's hope for Mitt. All he can muster is that Rush Limbaugh and James "I Speak for Myself and Not Focus on the Family, Which is the Only Reason Why Anyone Pays Attention to Me" Dobson are against McCain, which he somehow translates as meaning Mitt
February 5, 2008Firecrackers, Rats and Some GOP guy's Mansion
On a cool evening in the heart of Little Saigon loud firecrackers periodically exploded as Vietnamese Americans celebrated the coming of Tet (Vietnamese New Year) and something that should comfort Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle: the launching of the Year of the Rat. Of course, I'm kidding. According to Wikipedia, “rats can be terribly obstinate and controlling." Pringle is just the opposite: controlling and obstinate. I’d thought of Pringle because as I worked my way through a traffic jam in

February 6, 2008Baby Hewie Reveals Himself as a Party Hack (Big Surpise Edition)
Throughout his radio show yesterday, Hugh Hewitt kept emphasizing that true conservatives despised John McCain, that true conservatives must vote for Mitt Romney. He repeatedly cited the examples of Rush Limbaugh and James Dobson, who insisted they'd never vote for McCain. To stick to one's principles was honorable, Churchillian, great, and Hewitt's message was clear: everyone should do the same. So what was the title o Baby Hewie's post-primary post this morning? Seven Reasons To Support The

March 15, 2008John McCain in OC Tomorrow
Republican presidential candidate and war-lover, John McCain, will be in our neck of the woods tomorrow to rub elbows (raise money) with the rich folks whom he will help make richer if he takes office in 2008. McCain's meeting with the GOP big bucks will take place at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach where they will drink wine, eat bite-sized pieces of cheese and discuss whether McCain has discovered the difference between the Sunni and the Shi’a yet. Our money is on no. Meanwhile, OC's Y
March 24, 2008McCain Rhymes with "Complain"
While John McCain was inside the Island Hotel in Newport Beach yesterday rallying funds for his general election war chest, three—count 'em, three!—separate rallies, uh, rallied outside. Let’s start with the obvious: Orange County, presidential candidate who stops short of proposing mass deportation of Mexicans—yup, you guessed it, the Minutemen were there! National rally spokesman Raymond Herrera and his grumpy gaggle of troublemakers actually seemed to hate McCain even more than the
March 25, 2008Democrat Boss (& Daybreak OC) Clueless on Cultural Reference
During Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church Obama-McCain interviews earlier this month, the pastor asked McCain to identify the “three wisest people that [sic] you know that you would rely on heavily in an administration.” McCain quickly named General David Petraeus and Lindsey Graham, a Republican U.S. Senator from South Carolina. Here was McCain on the third of his four choices: “I think John Lewis . . . [he] was at the Edmund Pettis Bridge, had his skull fractured, continued to serve, con
August 27, 2008Will Rappers Cost Obama the Election?
Please, Plies, come out in support of Sarah Palin Young Jeezy's brief flirtation with John McCain on the set of Saturday Night Live aside, it's clear rappers favor Barack Obama by a wide margin in this election. (Check out this survey, for starters.) Though emcee after emcee has supported Obama with endorsement tracks, the big-ups at this point are likely doing more harm than good. Witness the negative media reaction to Ludacris's Hillary/McCain/Bush-bashing "Politics as Usual" cut, which cause

March 16, 2000"B-1 Bob" vs. Maverick
Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain allege Maverick was a lousy pilot who lost five U.S. Navy aircraft, four in accidents and one in combat. Who the hell does this McCain guy think he is, Bob Dornan? As the Weekly's R. Scott Moxley so colorfully illustrated in his 1996 expose “The Secret Lives of Bob Dornan,” our favorite bitter, defeated ex-congressman with the “B-1 Bob” nickname actually had a habit of crash landings himself.
October 16, 2008"This Ugly, Black Thing": The 26th Reason Why John McCain Sucks
In the new issue of the Weekly, you'll find Greg Stacy's list of 25 reasons why John McCain sucks. To this, I'd like to add reason #26: He once referred to Bridget, his adopted Bangladeshi daughter, as "this ugly, black thing." Maybe. Or probably? You be the judge, and read this first-person story from one Ana Dubey, a San Francisco psychologist, who had a creepy close encounter with McCain when she was on vacation about a decade ago. I found it on, of all places, Neil Young's website. What w

October 24, 2008The Party's Over
State GOP chairman Ron Nehring: "Lease, don't buy..." The state GOP's "Victory Night Party" (hah!) was over before it started. Driving over to the Hyatt Regency Irvine to make the 8:30 p.m. start time, I was talking on my Bluetooth to my brother in San Francisco when he informed me John McCain was already making his concession speech. "Holy shit!" I said as I steered into the Hyatt driveway. "I'm going to miss the Republicans crying in their beers." The mood was definitely somber inside the

November 5, 2008Presidency by Numbers: Orange County Edition
Gramps is just gonna rest his eyes some... Orange County Democrats are justifiably happy today as their presidential candidate will be sworn in on Inauguration Day Jan. 20, 2009. And they can take some pride in the Barack Obama-Joe Biden Democratic ticket's 401,605 votes being only 28,755 votes shy of the John McCain-Sarah Palin Republican ticket's 430,360 votes in decidedly red Orange County. Democrats secured a higher percentage of the Orange County vote in 2008 than in any national electio
November 5, 2008Why Does Obama Birth Certificate Say What They Say It Does Not?
Among those commenting to the extended-play interview with Buena Park Pastor Wiley Drake over his legal action contending Barack Obama was not born in this country and should not be sworn in as president is Linda from Mariposa, who writes:The Certificate of live birth is not a birth certificate--period! Obama's mother (private detective) was never in any hospital in Hawaii to even give birth. Even the announcement in the paper is an address that shows he never lived there. COLB's are usually giv

There are two very important cultural happenings tonight. Presidential nominees John "My Friends" McCain and Barack Obama will engage in a sure-to-be-scintillating debate of domestic policy and the economy at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex on the campus of Hofstra University in Long Island, New York, and John Oates will perform at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. (Despite the fact that the press release on the Coach House's site is at least two years old, the show is inde
