Slog - Comments on "Straight Talk Express" Vs. "Gay Sweaters" http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/straight_talk_express_vs_gay_sweaters The car wreck that is John McCain's presidential campaign is taking a turn from pathetic to ridiculous. From Radar on-line: In the final days of his imploding candidacy, John McCain has taken a page out of Richard Nixon's play book, finding increasingly bizarre explanations for his political failures. Strangest of all: He reportedly feels his handlers forced him to wear "gay sweaters." According to one insider, the knit-picking was the crescendo of a tirade by the Arizona senator, in which he blistered aides about the minutiae of the campaign.

Course, that does leave the racist, homophobic, religious zealot voters out in the cold... maybe throw a KKK hood in to the wardrobe to balance it out?

I guess I'll try Kohl's next. Maybe JCPenney has one in stock. Hmm...I suppose John has an extra gay sweater or two laying around. It wouldn't hurt to ask him if he would want to sell me one or two of them. The money could go towards, say, his campaign?
