When is a majority not a majority? When John McCain counts himself among the majority. The self-described maverick and life-time presidential candidate has torpedoed a solid republican majority that it took three election cycles to build. Given the tricks of egomaniacs like McCain, Republicans will need to gain at least 67 seats to affect the president’s agenda while fending off the grandstanding moves of “Oh! Look at me. Ain’t I wonderful. I am the most important person alive. Take my picture.” boobs like McCain. Faced with an intruder late at night McCain and his buddies would no doubt strike a deal whereby the intruder gets to take the silver and the cash but has to leave the TV and DVD player.
Remember, it was John McCain, after being caught on the take (the Keating five), decided that lowdown skunks, like himself, entering politics wasn’t as big a problem as the lowdown skunks, like himself, being exposed to large sums of illegal cash that the lowdown skunks, like himself, just couldn’t keep their hands off of. So to protect the lowdown skunks, like McCain, from themselves, McCain proposes an assault on the first amendment disguised as campaign finance reform – “to get the money out of politics.” It’s not low-down skunk politicians, like McCain, who can’t keep their hands off illegal cash, that’s the problem, it’s the money. So the first amendment has to go. After all, if we’re going to have lowdown skunks, like McCain, in politics we can not have money in politics because the lowdown skunks, like McCain, will not be able to refrain from lining their own pockets.
So wonder boy John “I need to protect myself from myself” McCain gave us limits on the first amendment to get big money out of politics. Well guess what? Wiley E. McCain Hyper Genius’ bill had the exact opposite effect. Yea, this is the guy we want running the country. He tries to get the money out of politics and passes a bill that leads to an election cycle that has the most unregulated, fat cat money ever. We can only hope that the agreement Scrawny Harry and Wiley McCain signed on to has a big “ACME CONGRESSIONAL AGREEMENT KIT” stamped on it. Then we could just wait for the anvil to fall on Wiley’s head – permanently damaging the anvil.
Oh, I suppose lowdown skunk is a bit harsh for Wiley McCain. But he is, if not a crooked politician, at least bent - and if not a complete dope at least a partial dope. And he is without question an egomaniac. Tomorrow: Why all of this is important.
