I'm tired of the candidates being humanized...

People who vote based on American Apparel's endorsement shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Wow, this is even more useless than Walter Mondale's endorsement.

I wonder how many times Dov Charney masturbated in the process of preparing that statement.

That slide show widget sucks almost as much ass as American Apparels ads and clothes. Thanks for sharing the ethical thing to do sexually-harassing-no-pants-wearing-exploitative-quasi-softcore-ad CEO guy!

every time I think it's not possible for a more meaningless endorsement to show up here, you go right ahead and prove me wrong.

Wow, I had no idea up until this point that John McCain was so fucking hot when he was young. That picture they're using of him really butters my parsnip.
