McCain Makes it Official

Well, John McStain has made it official that he is running for president and aren't we all shocked. His announcement had all the excitement of "t.v. time" at a retirement home. Speaking of which he should have made the announcement in such a location because he has one foot in the retirement home as is. If he were to become president then he'd be the oldest to serve in history. And what is up with his hair?? It looks like a wisp of cotton candy barely clinging to his head.

His speech was forced and who ever wrote it should be fired. It sounded as if it was written by a member of a middle school student government. His time has come and gone and he should just fade away into the Arizona sunset. Sticking around is painful to watch--kind of like watching Rich Little attempting to resuscitate his career at the White House correspondents dinner.

His campaign was already on life support before he made this announcement and the applause was sparse and tepid. It seemed as if there were only a handful of people attending--probably just his family, friends and the media.

And at the end there was no cheesy song!! So I have taken the liberty to suggest a few songs: "Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin, "American Idiot" by Green Day and "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd.

This guy has sold out so many times he makes prostitutes look virtuous. He's Bush's bitch and heir apparent. Enough said.

The "Straight Talk Express" is going in circles.

I kind of cut in and out, but the whole thing was weirdly flat wasn't it?

Small outdoor crowd, bad speech.

On NPR they interviewed a woman who was there who said she hadn't decided on McCain but was holding a sign to "be nice" because the campaign people were "kind of desperate."

It's no wonder he's so down in the polls. If you do an outside event, you do it like Obama and pull 10,000.

Otherwise, it's a small echoing room.

Mike:

VERY flat and awkward. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Desperate eh? I believe it. I've heard that his campaign is in shambles already.
