Is McCain the Next Dole?

Let’s see. Let’s play a little game of “Is John McCain the Next Bob Dole?” (home edition):

  • War hero. Check.
  • Grumpy. Check.
  • Republican. Check.
  • Senator. Check.
  • From a state that doesn’t play a major role in Presidential Elections. Check.
  • Good sense of humor. Check.
  • Once described as independent minded. Check.
  • Old. Check.
  • His time for national prominence has come and gone. Check.
  • Close ties to a Bush. Check.
  • Married a yonger, hottie wife. Check.
  • Hikes up his pants and yells at kids to get off his yard. Check.
  • Loses big in the popular vote and Electoral College in run for Presidency against a younger, hipper Democrat? Check.

Yes, John McCain is the new Bob Dole.

(Hat tip to Sibby Online for the idea.)

Waiting for McCain to fall off the stage at a rally. Just a matter of time. Check.

Funny stuff, Todd. Except counting Clinton as "hip" sort of puts you in that "hiked-up-pants" category yourself. I bet the kids you ref at soccer laugh behind your back at how you think you're "hip".

PS: Man, why do you keep making your annoying popups get worse? Yeah, yeah, I know you'll say it's not your fault it's squarespace's or something. Guess what...you're the one in control. It's kind of like how when I keep slamming my head with the car door I blame Ford. It's a typical liberal attitude I'm trying to fix...and take credit (or blame) for the incidents myself. This, my fuzzy liberal friend, is why you get like 2 comments a day on your blog.

Grud:

I'm so hip on the soccer pitch that even with my black ref socks pulled up to my ya-yas, the kids go, "that's one cool old guy." ;)

And in 1992, Clinton was cool. Remember the shades and the saxaphone? I'm just sayin'.

Yes, the damn popups. Check your browser settings. I am investigating moving The Watch to another server. Stay tuned.
