Thanks John McCain
April 21, 2008I’ve decided to start excusing myself from any undesirable activity by citing McCain’s time in prison. For example:
The Missus: Honey, the garbage trucks come tomorrow.
Me: Sweetheart, John McCain did not spend five years in a Vietnamese hellhole so that I would have to take out the trash.
It works; it’s universally applicable, and if you parse the meaning of the words, it’s 100% true. I look forward to the McCain candidacy, and I anticipate poor jonson behavior not seen since 1996 (”Officer, Bob Dole did not have his right hand paralyzed by the krauts so that I would have to wear pants in public”).
Well, you can’t strike comic gold on every post. BTW - John McCain didn’t almost DIE in a Viet-Cong prison so that I would have to hold my tongue. No he did not!
Mr. Nelson to the white courtesy phone… paging Mr. Nelson. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Oh, Patrick. Have I triggered your inner Republican with my insensitivity? John Kerry didn’t exaggerate the severity of his Vietnam injuries so that I could walk on eggshells!!
Yes, a vote for Obama will erase all of our white guilt. After all, Oprah said it was the thing to do, and she DID build a school in South Africa.
You’ve got it backwards, Mr Nelson, I’m not voting for Obama to erase my white guilt, I’m voting for him because I hate America.
Oh, that’s right. I forgot. Not that I’m pleased with any of my choices; that is why I am, as of last week, no longer a registered republican.
Um, actually, John McCain did die in a POW camp. i saw it on snopes. what you are seeing is a clever replica.
Why isn’t the media playing up the Manchurian candidate theme? The donkeys have an ace up their sleeve, methinks.
Thank you for deleting my profanity-laced tiraded. Next time, I will stop at two glasses of wine.
