"Starring John McCain"

Starring John McCain

The Republican presidential candidate's biography tour was crafted to show how he became the man he is. So far, the reviews are decidedly mixed.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. -- Some slightly disconcerting things you might have learned about Sen. John McCain had you paid attention to his biography tour this week:...http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/front/la-na-mccain4apr04,1,746498.story

Wrapped in the flag, telling tales of his misspent youth & redemption. This reminds me of someone.

1. Make sure you vote in their lame poll:

Who would you like to see John McCain choose as his running mate?

Mitt Romney (former governor of Massachusetts) - 36.5 %

Mike Huckabee (former governor of Arkansas) - 43.2 %

Charlie Crist (governor of Florida) - 2.1 %

Tim Pawlenty (governor of Minnesota) - 0.8 %

Mark Sanford (governor of South Carolina) - 0.7 %

Kay Bailey Hutchison (senator from Texas) - 1.6 %

Rob Portman (former director of the Office of Management and Budget) - 0.4 %

Joseph Lieberman (Democrat-turned-Independent <======= :eyes: senator from Connecticut) - 9.0 %

None of the above - 5.7 %

4. I wonder why

nobody mentions Cheney as McLame's VP? Makes perfect sense for the neo-cons; they can continue overseeing their fascism/world domination project. Nothing I see would prohibit it.

3. I would like to see the end of these Vietnam war guys

The ones that loved that war I am talking about. Every thing is not fixed by war.
