Ya know, McCain is right. I don't want a rock star, capable of drawing a crowd of 200,000 wildly
enthusiastic people at the drop of a hat, whose every word people hang on - even
in foreign countries.

What I want is an old guy - really old - with a comb-over and $500 shoes, who wears a baseball cap
pulled all the way down behind his ears, whose yellow bottom teeth jut out like a bulldog when he speaks,
who needs a handler (either his wife or some Leiberman-type lackey) to stand within whispering distance
any time he's near a microphone, who can easily summon up - oh, say, 6 people in the cheese aisle of
a supermarket any time he wants to get some free press; in short, a short man with nothing to say,
except "Pay Attention to MEEEEEEE!"

A man whose electric personality can levitate entire jars of applesauce right off the shelf!

Yeah, that's what we need. Woo. Hoo.

8. If I need a label, then I haven't used adequate words to get my point across.

11. Yeah, why have a President who will change things when you

16. $500 shoes.
I know that probably lots of politicians and other overpaid people waste that much money on shoes... but I will never ever ever understand it.
