John McCain Is Our New Bob Dole '96!
Here he is finally, after 172 years of campaigning. His still kind-of-hot latest wife Cindy is there, her jaws tight because of the speed, and his children, his many children. His tie is going CRAZY on the teevee. It is a torture-dope-mushroom necktie! What is happening? MSNBC just zoomed in so we don't have to see the Maverick Tie, which is coming alive.
9: 51 PM -- "I don't believe anyone is predestined to lead America." Really? You don't think certain babies are born to be the President?
9: 52 PM -- Here comes the "greater than myself" and "last best hope" bullshit tropes.
9: 52 PM -- "False promises, empty sound bites," etc., Barack is a person who is young and says things!
9: 53 PM -- Ha ha, McCain said "modernity."
9: 54 PM -- He will stand up for the Iraq Occupation, because everybody loves it.
9: 56 PM -- Oh man, McCain just looked totally surprised and confused when his supporters laughed at one of his lines, which was written to be kind of funny.
9: 57 PM -- McCain will give us all health care! And somehow we will get the world's best health care, maybe from some other country?
9: 57 PM -- He will have an energy policy which will be based on using the fossil fuels created by his own ancient bones.
9: 58 PM -- My friends, he is coughing. He might just die right there.
9: 58 PM -- HE WILL SPEAK TO EVEN THE BLACKS AND BROWNS AND POORS.
10: 00 PM -- "We don't hide from history, we make history." Maybe "we are history" would work a bit better right there.
10: 01 PM -- Oh dear fucking christ he is totally trying to take "hope." U CAN'T HAS HOPE, IZ TOO OLDE.
