It's midnight on July 4th, and if John McCain knows what's good for him (politically), he and Cindy had better not miss that plane back to Arizona. My advice? Tell "Cind" to stowe the American Express Red Card for a day, because Mac needs to find his backside on THIS side of the border by sun-up. The "Top Gun" in Colombia gambit didn't quite get him the hot press he was looking for (though it did provide an excellent backdrop for some new advertising,) and being in Mexico on the Fourth will be about as good a look as that lime green background. Picture Lou Dobbs' head ... now picture it exploding...
With the new management in place, I'm guessing McCain will be stateside in time for the BBQ. And for god's sakes, please ... please ... don't invite "You Know Who..."
John and George on the day the levees broke in New Orleans, August 29, 2005. The two were celebrating McCain's birthday. Good times... good times...
And whatever you do, John, old boy, try not to look out of touch during the inevitable photo-ops. No need for Cindy to pretend to be cooking the steaks, we all get that she's rich and has "people" to do that. And don't spend too much time hanging out at the kids table yucking it up. It makes you look like you don't know there's a recession on. Just ask your buddy George. He'll know what I mean. When in doubt, look sober, serious and grim ... you know ... the way you usually look.
Last but not least, for the love of god, for just one day -- America's day -- don't mention anything else about free trade. Trust me, once you bring the Mittster on board as your running-mate, you can let him talk about all the unpopular stuff. After all, that's what vice president's you can't really stand but whose money and completely theoretical strength in the Rocky Mountain states and Michigan you desperately need.
Well, that's about it! Happy Independence Day, John McCain!!! And remember: you're only as old as you feel, so don't eat anything with too many nitrates -- makes you gassy, and we've got enough fireworks to look forward to today eh? EH?
