McCain, Obama, Yadda & Yadda
WE’RE READY FOR A BREAK FROM THESE GUYS ALREADY
FITSNews – June 11, 2008 – Some people don’t like it, but we’ve always appreciated that extra weekend that falls between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. It’s a chance for us to recharge our batteries before we have to once again spend every waking moment examining injury reports, assessing key match-ups and opining on the possible outcomes. Kinda like we did last year, when we reported that Plaxico Burress was crazy only to discover that he was nothing short of prophetic …
Anyway, we think the same sort of thing ought to apply to the presidential race. After the grueling primary process is done and the final two candidates have been chosen (finally), there really ought to be a week where everybody just chills the f*ck out for a little bit. Seriously, we’ve heard a bunch of nonstop political crap for months, let’s just tell these two guys go on vacation for a week (and make all the reporters covering their every move do the same thing). Of course, Barack Obama and John McCain are not cooperating with our clever plan, as they’ve spent the past week jabbering back and forth at each other over something to do with the economy.
What are they bitching and moaning at each other about? Who knows … we’ll be happy to start worrying about it next month, though. Of course if you really happen to be that concerned, like, right now, The Hindu is probably the website for you (editor’s note: cue sitar ).
We’ll see what Mande and the girls come up with on the presidential front while our founding editor Sic Willie is away his honeymoon next week (wait, that’s not a joke?), but for now we’re just a little presidented-out …

McCain’s pink tie is kinda butch…

The pink tie is code-speak. Something to do with Pink Phinks. And I think pink is some kind of Islamo/butt-kissing code color. I’m still working on the decifering.
And I ~~~Will Follow Through~~~

Perot vs. McCain … Did newspaper lift quote?

perot.JPGThere’s a quote floating around the Interwebs this week from Ross Perot that slams John McCain (from London’s Mail on Sunday newspaper, posted June 8):
But Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics.
‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said.
‘After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.’
That sounded familiar to me. I swore that I had read it before. So I went digging, and I came up with this excerpt of an interview Perot gave to Jonathan Alter, a senior editor and all-around political guru at Newsweek (posted Jan. 16):
Just days before the South Carolina GOP primary, he wants me to know that McCain “is the classic opportunist–he’s always reaching for attention and glory. Other POWs won’t even sit at the same table with him.” …
mccain.JPGThe Perot-McCain relationship goes back to McCain’s five and a half years of captivity in Hanoi. When McCain’s then-wife Carol was in a serious car accident, McCain’s mother called Perot for help. “She asked me to send my people to Philadelphia to take care of the family,” Perot says. Afterwards, McCain was grateful. “We loved him [Perot] for it,” McCain told me in 2000.
Perot doesn’t remember it that way. “After he came home, he walked with a limp, she [Carol McCain] walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona [Cindy McCain, his current wife] and the rest is history.”
So, yes, great quote, Daily Mail — when I read it unaltered the first time, six months ago.
