'Th-that’s not ch-ange we can be-ee-lieve in!'John McCain is the graduate of a swank prep school, the scion of America’s most distinguished Naval dynasty, and the husband of a multimillionaire beer heiress. This is why he sells “divot tools” to raise money for his presidential campaign, because only an elitist would even know what a fucking divot tool is. Thanks to Working-Class Wonkette Operative “More Bitterer” for bringing this to our attention. [McCain Store]

John McCain IS a divot tool…a big divot tool…

What the fuck is that?

PeteJayhawk v2.0 June 5, 2008 at 10:02 am

I know what a fucking divot tool is; I also golf with beat-up secondhand clubs, and usually finish off a 12-pack of Miller Lite and a pack of Camel Lights while I’m out on the course. If that’s elitism, then fuck yeah I’m an elitist.

Divot tools are in the same category as polyesther ties and summer-camp ashtrays…..good gifts for father’s day that instantly disappear into the junk drawer never to be seen again.

Let’s hope that’s the fate of the McCain campaign…..

Serolf Divad June 5, 2008 at 10:09 am

I like the fact that you can take the logo off after McCain is thoroughly thrashed and beaten in the campaign, so you can keep using the tool without the embarrassment of divulging to all your friends that you backed the lamest candidate ever in 2008.

weirdiowasculpture June 5, 2008 at 11:03 am

See, when you hit a shot into a green from a long ways off, it leaves an indentation in the green. Left unrepaired, that indentation, or “divot,” will screw up somebody else’s putt, so a polite golfer always repairs these divots by taking a divot tool, shoving the little prongs into the green around the divot, and pulling in toward the center to level out the area and repair the divot.

Then you wipe off the divot repair tool on a golf towel and place the two prongs on either side of your cunt wife’s clitoris, which makes it sort of pop out so you can rub your cheek sacs against it.

That’s what a divot repair tool is.

“Fairway divots
Divots are part of the game, and should always be repaired to keep the game enjoyable for all those playing the course. A golfer should have buckets of sand used for repairing divots. A suggestion is that golfers should carry divot tools to help fit the new sand in. Regardless, golfers should fix any damage inflicted on the course.”

So, John McCain peddles tools for fixing mistakes. Handy!

Reviewer: Sahreem J. Paultersenson from Phoenix, UT
This is the perfect tool for advanced rear end play. Whenever I am enjoying a game of golf I pull this device out and start plugging away. I enjoy the coolness of the metal and the smooth texture as it penetrates and removes the toughest of divots. I am glad it has a nice key chain to make for easy removal should it “accidentally” fall in the tee hole.”
