McCain Touts Endorsement From HGH Smuggler

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

That would be Sylvester Stallone. Rolling Stone explains:

…does anyone else find it incongruous that McCain, who has held Senate hearings on steroids in baseball, and just last month shamed the Rocket for his alleged Human Growth Hormone use — “I’m very disappointed with Roger Clemens” — is now locking arms with Sly Stallone?

This is the same Stallone, after all, who was convicted in Australia last May for illegally importing human growth hormone and testosterone into that country — including 48 vials of an HGH drug banned in the U.S.

Rocky’s unapologetic about it, too:

"HGH (human growth hormone) is nothing," the 61-year-old actor tells Time magazine in its Feb. 4 issue. "Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed."

Because it is nearly undetectable, HGH has become a substance of great concern in major league baseball and other sports battling allegations of rampant doping.

"Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older," he says. "Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases the quality of your life. Mark my words. In 10 years it will be over the counter."

He’s right. HGH is a kind of miracle drug, and the fuss over it is silly. Maybe he can talk some sense into McCain.

    “Maybe he can talk some sense into McCain.” That’d be appropriate; McCain ignoring Cato, Reason and all the other weirdos who advocate constitutional government but listen to Rambo’s advice.

    McCain’s capacity for hypocrisy may be our one inexhaustible resource. Years ago he went on a jihad against mixed martial arts/no holds barred fighting, claiming that it was unacceptably “barbaric” — a form of “human cockfighting.” He issued that fatwah fresh from a ringside seat at a boxing match during which a fighter was killed in the ring.

    Now, McCranky goes directly from convicting Roger Clemens of substance abuse on the word of a “cooperating witness” to giddily accepting the endorsement of the world’s highest-profile HGH user (among other performance enhancers).

    Speaking of substances, hey Mr. Balko, did you see VA repealed the abusive driver fees?

    Now I can race across the border for cigs and beer in peace.

    Bite me, O’Malley.
    Bite me, Montgomery County Liquors.

    (Also, the Sheetz in Manassas has dropped its post-MD tax price hikes on Camels.)

    McCain getting elected would be the worst possible thing that could happen to America. It would be much worse than electing a democrat. Why? He’s a vocal member of “citizens against government waste”, yet he supports the most wasteful and unconstitutional of all government programs: the drug war, the iraq war, restrictions on free speech, gun control, etc…

    Associating big government with freedom (thanks to Ronnie Reagan) has already hopelessly confused the unphilosophical graduates of the government youth propaganda camps that call themselves American citizens. McCain would then have very little opposition from the Republican Party in growing the size and invasiveness of the federal and state governments. (He would aid the State governments in their goal of growth by giving them all the drug war funding possible, and pissing on the idea of federalism all the while…)

    Even though Obama wants to continue ‘Jim Crow’ era anti-minority gun control, and continue the ‘Jim Crow’ drug war, and is an open theocratic socialist, he would be less effective at growing government than a Republican would. Moreover, a totally unprincipled (McCain-Feingold) Republican would infiltrate our personal lives down to the level of everyone’s bedroom.

    I also expect an internet tax from a McCain presidency, since he’s such a doddering old asshole.

    I strongly encourage people to call him by the name I have christened him with: John McAnus. When I’m asked why I call him that, I say: Well, he thinks I should be muzzled before an election. He has written legislation that denies my right to free speech. The philosopher Ayn Rand wanted a violent rebellion when there was no more freedom of speech, and for this reason: denial of free speech means you lack any tool to pursue liberty.

    Rand was right. Soviet Russia proved her right. 55 million innocent people were murdered under that regime. Elections are serious business. And that’s why I can’t be friends with anyone who supports McCain. They want a future for America in which the same thing can happen here.

    That is unconscienable, and cannot be tolerated, even by the most cowardly of voices.

    I’m not a cowardly voice, therefore, I am outrightly hostile to anyone who supports McCain, just as I am outrightly hostile to anyone who thinks I should be shot or put in jail for my beliefs. Those two groups are one and the same.

    Obama’s ‘Jim Crow’ would be ugly, but not as ugly as McCain’s Jim Crow. He’s been around long enough to know how to push his agenda. At least Obama is just a brainless newcomer who checks the wind before he votes.

    But in McCain, I fear a real aptitude for mischief.
