Well, I'm glad I don't have to worry about presidential politics any more. This clinches it for me. I'll even volunteer to help John the Walmart greeter move into his new house in DC.


McClain in '08!!!

Here is another article:

It has a great quote:
Somewhere, Obama and Hil are grinning.

This may make me sound like even more of a curmudgeon than usual, but I have only begun hearing about this series, The Hills.

I read the Wikipedia write-up, and have only one question:

Why?

You think you are a curmudgeon.

You can spell it.

Makes me laugh.

Because somewhere somebody is making money from the show.

I never thought of myself as a curmudgeon, but I must be since I have never heard of this show.

Also, why is it news that this young woman is going to vote for McCain? Why is that funny and worthy being discussed? In the article I read, she didn't say anything outside of what I would think anybody would say when discussing who they will vote for, and I'm sure that there are plenty of celebrities (A through C list and beyond) that have told us who they are voting for. I just don't see the relevance in this one person.

It's the type of thing the media just loves to talk about.

ABC news is talking about it:

US magazine had the exclusive:

Either Leno or Letterman will talk about it in their monologue tonight.

I went to McCain's site to see if he had listed this important endorsement, but couldn't find the category "Reality Show Whores." (They are whores because they are paid to appear, if they worked for free, they would be Reality Show Sluts.)

The closest thing that I could find was a list of celebrity endorsers:

ENTERTAINER/ATHLETES
Curt Schilling, Pitcher, Boston Redsox
Sylvester Stallone

I will step forward and heartily endorse John McCain as well. Hopefully, this leap of faith will get my name in a few nationally published articles and get me at least a non-guaranteed minor league contract....

PENSACOLA, FL. Asked for a reaction to the news that he'd been endorsed by reality-soap bad girl Heidi Montag of "The Hills," John McCain told Swampland: "I’m honored to have Heidi’s support and I want to assure her that I never miss an episode of 'The Hills,' especially since the new season started."

I can't believe that he watches "The Hills."

It's on the Time Magazine site. I don't think that Time doesn't April Fool's pranks on April 2nd.

Could we consider the possibility that John McCain never heard of Heidi Montag or "The Hills" and came forth with a fast-thinking and funny response?

What's going to happen to this campaign if voters start thinking sensibly like that? :P

And I can't believe that he does not have Secret Service protection. I would like this election determined by ballot not bullet. He has never requested SS protection and does not have any. He does have private security that travels with him.

Maybe it's better that he hasn't hired government employees to follow him around. It's saving the public money and I respect him more for doing it.

McCain Loses Heidi's Vote -- For Now


Republican strategists will be scrambling to cover for a new setback in John McCain's campaign – turns out that Heidi Montag can't vote.

No, not because she can't read the ballot: She's not registered! Radar checked out the registration records in Colorado and L.A. County, but no one called "Heidi Montag" exists in the voter database. Her rep didn't know whether H-Mo was registered.

McCain could use her help in Colorado: He lost his primary there.

Why would Heidi need to vote, when her endorsement will persuade so many others to vote? :P

So true. I just may vote for McCain because of her. ;)
