Opposites Attract

So this week has certainly taken a turn for the surreal. I typically try to avoid political discussions and run from anyone attempting to discuss politics, this week I am willing to make an exception. While I watched none of the democratic convention and do not plan to watch any of the republican convention either, I couldn't help but to ask myself, "WTF?!?!" upon reading each candidates selection for a running mate.

I think each candidate must have been smitten by Brooke White and her rendition of Love is a Battlefield, and were blasted with subliminal renderings of Paula Abdul's Opposites Attract. If one could come up with the most unlikely, most dissimilar running mate for Obama, I'm pretty sure this would be it:

As if this wasn't shocking enough news for one week, the sixth seal was opened on Friday by my personal hero, John McCain. While I can't recall a political candidate I've favored more than McCain, he clearly has bad teeth and hair. I'm willing to look past this and vote for any man who is willing to get into an altercation with a 92 year old Strom Thurmond. Below are six examples of why I plan to vote for John McCain:

1. Defending His Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain Lost His Temper And “Screamed, ‘F*ck You!’ At Texas Sen. John Cornyn” (R-TX). McCain continues, ‘This is chickensh*t! You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.’

2. Sen. McCain called Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) An “A**hole”. At a GOP meeting, McCain erupted at Budget Committee chairman, Pete Domenici, saying, ‘Only an a-hole would put together a budget like this.’ He went on: ‘I wouldn’t call you an a-hole unless you really were an a-hole.’

3. Sen. McCain called Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) a “F*cking Jerk” during an altercation ‘Are you calling me stupid?’ Sen. Chuck Grassley replied. ‘No,’ replied McCain, ‘I’m calling you a f*cking jerk!’

4. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” To which McCain responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c*nt!”

5. A former senator who requested anonymity recalled an exchange at a Republican policy lunch. McCain turned on another senator who disagreed with him. “McCain called the guy a ‘sh*thead.’ And when the Senator asked for an apology McCain retorted, ‘I apologize, but you’re still a sh*thead.’
