Recently in John McCain Category
We haven't addressed John McCain on Polichicks since the election, because we felt that Barack Obama should have his day after his historic win. But now we want to acknowledge Sen. John McCain, who fought a long and hard campaign for the presidency.
John McCain's concession speech was one of the most moving that we have ever heard. He commended Obama's accomplishments, acknowledged what Obama's historic victory means to African Americans, expressed sympathy to the Obama family on their loss of Obama's grandmother and encouraged the country to unite behind our new president.
No doubt that had to be a tough speech to make, especially the part where he preaches unity and calls Barack Obama "my president." (We mean, imagine if you had to publicly praise your work frenemy and call her "my boss," moments after she got the promotion you wanted.) But as hard as it must have been, John McCain stepped up to the plate and did what was best for our country.
Now that's "country first."
On the fifth day of Christmas, our true loves gave to us... fiiiive goldren riiings! Four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. What did we get on the fifth day before the presedential election? Well, nothing...
But we bet Barack Obama and John McCain are giving their campaigns something about now... a win, win, win, fight, fight, fight speech kind of like the one below from Remember the Titans. (Yeah, we're still on our Titans kick...)
A McCain volunteer, Ashely Todd, reported to police that a 6'4' "black man" attacked her and carved a "B" for Barack in her face, because she is a McCain supporter. The big "black man" (isn't it always a "black man" in these stories?) allegedly told her that he was going to make her a Barack Obama supporter.
Todd made up the story. The tip off to police that she was lying? The B on her face was backward, because she cut her own self while looking in the mirror.
Who doesn't know that mirrors reflect letters backward? What a moron.
Julia Allison must be so excited! The White House is pink!
Paris Hilton is surely pleased as well. Afterall, she was first to suggest painting The White House pink back in August, when she released a "campaign attack ad" targeting rivals John McCain and Barack Obama. (Yep, Paris is running for president. Kind of.)
The White House was lit pink Tuesday night to commemorate breast cancer awareness. Explained First Lady Laura Bush at the lighting ceremony, "In recognition of the mothers, daughters, sisters and wives who struggle with this disease, we're lighting the White House in pink, which is the color of the cause. May our lights tonight shine as beacons around the world, a signal of the United States' commitment to saving lives from breast cancer."
Now that's hot.
