McCain Too "Corny" For Me

Next off my list of presidential candidates; John McCain. While spending an enjoyable(?) Sunday morning tearing out an old brick chimney in my house, I listened to Tim Russert interview presidential hopeful John McCain. McCain was his usual contentious self which I've grown accustomed to. The issue of his age came up. Russert read him a quote from four years ago where he said he would be 72 in 2008 and that would be much too old to be president. (I agree. I think the same for City Council too!) So McCain dismissed that and without saying he was wrong, contended that he is in great shape and ready to serve. Then he demanded his tapioca and wanted to know if there was going to be Bingo in the main lounge tonight... The final straw for me was when Russert again cornered McCain with his own words. This time on my favorite litmus test, ethanol. A few years back McCain called ethanol what it is. A huge boondoggle that will not create energy independence. All it will do is create subsidies for farmers. Well now, guess what? Ethanol isn't such a bad thing anymore! Check the McCain campaign finance reports for Archer Daniels Midland. Somebody got to him and I can tell you it wasn't the scientists who will tell you the truth about ethanol. Sorry John. As my good friend Heidi Klumb would say, "You're out!" One Democrat and one Republican gone. I'm an equal opportunity eliminator.
