You're probably all aware that McCain and Obama (and probably most candidates) have online stores where you can purchase gear. What I didn't know is that they both set up a system where people can leave reviews of the products, like Amazon or something. McCain's review section was initially not moderated, prompting people -- including, it would appear, a large number of Wonkette posters -- to leave some pretty hysterical responses. Although the site has now been scrubbed clean, most of the better reviews were saved for perpetuity [URL="http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=10594"]here[/URL], [URL="http://wonkette.com/400374/genius-commenter-at-mccain-store-now"]here[/URL], [URL="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/6/11/2165/55268/106/533829"]here[/URL], and [URL="http://gawker.com/tag/comments/?i=5015453&t=john-mccains-balls-a-study-of-campaign-website-comment-moderation"]here[/URL].
Some samples, from the golf set:
[QUOTE]The 2000 Father’s Day McCain Golf Pack had more balls. This golf pack is too much like the George W. Bush golf pack I got last year. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Another review of the golf gear asked when the store would offer “a Joe Lieberman Certified McCain Ballwasher.”[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]I especially love the divot repair tool. My dad's been using the same old one for about 15 years. Thanks for showing the old man how to trade up for a newer model![/QUOTE]
I realize I have very recently been charged with being too hard on McCain, a charge I find unfair, but this was too good to not share. Blast away at me if you like, McCain supporters. ;)
