Mount Rushmore is younger than John McCain.
Now here’s a conundrum: do I make a “what a coincidence - that mountain looks like a bunch of famous presidents!” joke, a comment about the odd juxtaposition of our current “leader” in front of all those real leaders, or do I just take a cheap shot about whichever Dakota Rushmore is in (I always forget - because I don’t care.)
I’ll leave that for you - my loyal readers - to discuss in the comments.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
although it wasn’t completed until 1941, work on the mount was begun in 1927, 9 years before McCain. of course, he’s still old.

At least get your facts straight, please. One day, W, will be carved on Rushmore.

Mt. Rushmore is in South Dakota.
When ever you are wondering if something is in the Dakotas, remember that it’s always in South Dakota. Because there is NOTHING in North Dakota.

If they ever carve the heads of the four WORST presidents into a mountain, W will be there. He has done more to endanger Americans abroad and our civil liberties at home than any other one person EVER, bar none.

Mount Rushmore is a blight on our country. While any are free to debate the greatness of the men whose likenesses are sloppily carved there, it stands as an in-your-face testament of colonialism and white superiority to tribes whose land was stolen (again) in order to fulfill this unholy desecration.

President Bush, front, tries to shake hands with President Lincoln, right.

I think I will open a new website, Things blacker than Barrack Obama. Is making fun of race any better than making fun of age?

pulmyfgr:
being black or being a woman doesn’t get in the way of doing a good job as president. being old, at least potentially, does.

Sorry but I think a ‘Blacker than Obama’ site would be hilarious if done right & I am a supporter. Just because something is wrong doesn’t mean it can’t be funny. Anybody seen Fargo??
Great site, keeps me laughing…

Whichever Dakota? We all know there’s only one that matters…South Dakota xD

What has four heads, but only one ass?

I’ve been to Mt. Rushmore…it’s interesting for about 2 minutes, then you have to wonder what megalomaniac came up with the idea. Then you go back to being amazed at the engineering marvel of the thing, but even that is ruined by the knowledge that, like Ron said, land held sacred and important was used for….that.
Oh, and it’s in South Dakota. Like godless pinko said, there ain’t much in North Dakota…or Wyoming or Nebraska for that matter. Whole lotta flat nothingness.

What would “North By Northwest” be without Mt. Rushmore? Quiz: how many bad guys fall off it?

Why is WPE trying to make a shadow puppet of a ducky on Abe Lincoln’s chest?

It’s okay to make fun of age. Everyone gets old. I’ll be old someday, you’ll be old someday, blacks and whites and mexicans and asians and everyone, no matter where they are, will grow old. Unless, of course, they die first.
It’s not okay to make fun of race - not everyone will be black. Imagine, waking up one morning and having a completely different skin color, then going outside and having the KKK kick your ass.

I like the notion of W’s mug being carved on Mt. Rushmore. It would just add to the sheer insanity of his term and his legacy. Like, his expression is consistently so befuddled, just seeing it up there would be frikkin hilarious. I for one would repel down his forehead and paint a big target right between his eyes.
Comment by DRKO — May 13, 2008 @ 1:59 pm
Thanks for the chuckle: watching desperate folk torturing facts to fit their political spin. Mountains and chemical elements older than McCain?
Reality check…

Bush doing the “robot dance” for a crowd at Mt. Rushmore.
Comment by BushBasher — May 13, 2008 @ 2:57 pm
Why is it Democrats are constantly make fun of or complaining about ppl, places, thingz? Seems they are never ever happy about anything.

I’ve been to Mt. Rushmore twice. It is in SD. I’m sure everyone’s said that already. My interesting quip is that it HAS to be in SD because I have a theory that North Dakota is a figment of people’s imagination. I’ve never known anyone (honest) that has lived, been to, or driven through ND. I think it is made up like trickle-down economics benefiting the poor, the rampant welfare mother epidemic, God (seriously, prove it), pink elephants, and ‘compassionate conservatives’. Liberal Christians, on the other hand, do exist. It is not a paradox. Jesus was a total hippy.

Oh, look! Four presidents with their heads in rock, and one with rocks in his head.
Comment by Sara Brum — May 14, 2008 @ 10:58 pm
Rushmore is in West-Central SD. The difference between the Dakotas are as follows: South Dakota has the Black Hills, Deadwood, Wall Drug, mountains in the west, a portion of the Badlands, and er, other things, I think. North Dakota has a bit of the Badlands and there’s missles in Minot. Oh, and the residents are quit different. North Dakotans will readily admit that their state sucks, while SoDaks (as we Minnesotans call them) have some odd inferiority complex and will attempt to convince you that their state is better through the use of multiple logical fallacies. I know this because I’ve lived in Fargo, roomed with a SoDak, dated a SoDak, and my best friend is a North Dakotan. Oh, and McCain changes positions alot for a “straight talker”, is a little too cozy with lobbyists for a “maverick”, doesn’t seem to know the difference between appeasement and negotiation, admittedly doesn’t know the first thing about economics (his support for Bush’s tax cuts supports his evaluation), and is shockingly divorced from reality when it comes to his appraisal of the Iraq Occupation…and he’s old. Otherwise, he’d be a great president.

Oh, and the whole “colonist” thing? Sure, that wasn’t very nice, but humans are animals. The Europeans wanted more land, so they took it. Survival of the fittest, rational self-interest, etc. That’s the way the world works.
Comment by Rich — May 17, 2008 @ 4:29 am
I think you refer to the age of the sculptures. The moutain is less than 70 million years old. The rock it consists of is one and a half billion years old.

Like I said, Mount Rushmore is younger than….

Perhaps W’s mug could be carved into Mount Headrushmore in an Upside down fashion?
Could you imagine the head rush you would get from being held upside down at that height? Who needs booze? It would be sooooo exhilirating.
Comment by Neal Anderthal — May 19, 2008 @ 5:16 pm
I can almost see Lincoln rolling his eyes…
Comment by matt — May 19, 2008 @ 10:48 pm
In reference to number 21: why is it that Republicans never learned to spell, or use proper grammar? Must have been educated under No Child Left Behind. For the record, I’m an Independent.
