John McCain, TPMtv must break you. TPMtv never wished for it to come to this, but as Josh noted, you have pushed TPMtv to extreme measures with your sleazy ads and shameless campaign. You sir, are old and weird. I know - that's a super hacky line against McCain. Yep, welp...



Some notes after the jump...

:30 What is that Lindsey Graham says to himself? Does he say Supertrain? Supertramp? Senator Lindsey Graham, stop living in 1979!

2:27 This Somalia/Sudan clip was taken from a segment from Dan Abrams' Verdict show. So the entire segment had the Chariots of Fire music playing in the background, but TPMtv strongly recommends that you make believe this is a piece of unproduced, raw footage and that the music is just playing in the background on the Straight Talk Express. Work hard to convince yourself that this is the case.

4:06 Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada! This reminds TPMtv a whole lot of the Debrah, Debrah, Debrah, Debrah part (also at the 4:06 mark, curious no?) of this stunningly brilliant video:



5:09 Possibly the oldest and sweetest that John McCain appears in this entire video, and the one clip that almost made TPMtv hesitate out of the irrepressible pang of sympathy triggered deep within TPMtv every time it watches it. The TPM logo sort of obscures it, but that's the Jed Report logo in the corner. A few of the clips used in this episode were originally found in this JR joint:



Propers to Jed and his Report. TPMtv has been quietly respecting his videos for a while now, so - it's blogroll time!

A big thanks to all the TPM readers who wrote in with gaffe suggestions. We left a lot on the cutting room floor, but who knows, there might be more room in a potential Part II before Election Day...
