McCain: Washington is the 'city of Satan'

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called Washington, D.C., the "city of Satan" from the Senate floor on Wednesday while describing the effects of the healthcare law currently under review across the street at the Supreme Court.

"It's interesting that the very same organizations that all signed up… and were bludgeoned into supporting ObamaCare … are the same organizations that come to our offices and ask for relief from ObamaCare," said McCain.

"It's a fascinating commentary on trying to do the Lord's work in the city of Satan," concluded the senior senator form Arizona.

…And he's absolutely right, you know.

You can blame me, the one and only MrScorpio, for DC being that actual "City of Satan".

For in 1988, I personally dressed up as the Prince of Darkness, wearing a slick suit, horns, a tail. while holding a pitchfork in my right claw and went to Georgetown on All Hallows Eve to consecrate my evil blessings upon the Nation's Capitol.

Even the people dressed up as fuzzy dice stood in awe of my dark and evil presence.

This a fact that I will swear that it's true on a stack of Necromicons!

Well, it wasn't that hard to do anyway, however, since Ronald Reagan was president at the time… But I digress.

Yes, I made Washington DC the City of Satan that it is today.

And it was my proudest work, if I don't say, my damn self.

McCain should be thanking me.

Someone point that befuddled old man in the direction of one of his houses. I'm sure some enterprising Nazi in Arizona is ready to fill his shoes.

Coming from the guy who has lived in DC since the Salem Witch trials.

Is he auditioning for standup? Maybe Grifter Palin told him irony is "really neat-o, you betcha!"

Sorry Mac, you should really bow out now, retire to AZ and become a rodeo clown for Sheriff Joe. If selecting Palin wasn't the "sign", this certainly is.
