Nominees' wives off limits? Somebody tell Cindy McMealticket

By GottaLaff

What's the Obama campaign supposed to do when the opponent's wife persists in smearing their guy's wife?

As the presidential campaigns of John McCain and Barack Obama tangle over which is unfairly dragging the prospective first ladies into the general election battle, Cindy McCain sent a signal this morning that she’s not about to step out of the fray. The wife of presumptive Republican nominee John McCain stood behind her initial response to Democratic counterpart Michelle Obama’s comment that for the first time she was “really proud” of her country.

At the end of the video, John King indulges in a fawning moment when he praises John Sidney McMilkItForAllIt'sWorth for hiding the pain of his time as a prisoner via hiding behind his irresistible impish penchant for humor. See, Cindy McMealticket didn't have so much as a clue that he'd suffered all that much, because -- and tell me if you've heard this one before -- J Sid wouldn't tell her! He made jokes! Omg, lmao! What a guy!

We must elect him now! Maybe he could joke this country right out of re-discovering that he was one of the Keating Five!*

*That just triggered another memory of Paddy's and my stint on Sirius radio. When I brought up McKeating, the host chided me for dredging up an old story that is now, apparently, irrelevant.
