McCain-Schrute 2008?
Thursday May 8, 2008
Could Dwight Schrute be just the man John McCain needs to help him win the White House? During an appearance on The Daily Show, the presumptive Republican nominee joked about naming the character from NBC's The Office as his running mate."You heard it hear first: Dwight Schrute," McCain said of the brown-nosing sycophant played by Rainn Wilson. "Doesn't he do a great job for Michael Scott?"
Maybe it's Dwight's thirst for unbridled power that McCain admires. Or maybe it's his uncanny ability to channel dictators.
At any rate, Jon Stewart accused McCain of pandering and instead suggested that Hillary Clinton would make a winning pick, to which McCain laughed and replied, "That's one I never contemplated."
Other highlights from McCain's 13th appearance on The Daily Show: He deadpanned about the marathon race between the Democrats, saying, "I hate to watch it. It's terrible. My heart goes out to them."
Jon Stewart questioned McCain on whether President Bush was a bigger liability for his campaign than Rev. Jeremiah Wright is for Obama. Calling Bush a "religious zealot," Stewart asked McCain whether he would take the opportunity to repudiate and denounce him. McCain pretended to walk off the set, then fiddled with his mic and said he was having "technical difficulties." (Watch video clip)
Jon Stewart speculated about what McCain's Secret Service code name might be -- McDreamy? McSteamy? Grumplestiltskin? but McCain said, "I think mine is 'Jerk.'"

Dear Fellow Americans.
Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America
is and will face very critical and substantial
“Challenges” in coming,
months, years, and decades.
It is very essential that we pick our next
President on the basis of following criteria.
1. A candidate with a clear “Vision and Mission”.
2. A candidate with a sound ” Character and Integrity”
.
3. A candidate with a evident “Presidential
Temperament” and ” Principled Judgment”.
4. A candidate with “little “Washington exposure”
and “real future and past Voters”.
5. A candidate who “Inspires us up” rather than
“Tears us down”.
6. A candidate not based on past “sexism, racism, and
ageism”.
In my professional and personal opinion, the only
candidate who has shown the above qualities and
characteristics is Senator Obama.
As an independent registered voter since 1980. I voted
for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,
and second Bush in 2000 and In over time last
interest in “Washington politics”.I stopped voting.
Not a good idea under any circumstance, particularly
at present time.
This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and
let Washington remain the same.We can not afford our
Greatgreat Nation to become less than what we are and
can be.
We need to send clear and candid message to the world
and some 24 hour partisan piosonous hateful media.
These type of media outlets are trying to deprive,
dupe, and derail us from getting it right this time.
I pray and hope that we the American people won’t be
part of this deception, seduction, and confusion.
These type of media and pundits are trying there best
to deny us better and replac our past remember some of
our bitterness and differences. { “Our Greatgrand
Nations people are persistently and constantly
subjected to Psychological terrorism” without our
knowledge by these these poisonous hateful partisan
media outlets”.
We Americans are should not and would not to allow
these type of media psychologically terrorized,
traumatized and silence us this time.Not this time.
I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President. let
us not get dragged down into racism, sexism and
ageism.
Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of
family, friends,fellowships, faith, funds,foundations,
fun, and future with fairness and freedom and without
fear or favor.
We can not afford to lose any of above conectins. Let
us stand up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand
Nation for decades to come and regain our world
economic, and power status back.
God Bless our Great grand Nation and its diverse
people.
Our Greatgrand nation needs present and future
stability, security, safety,sustained progress and
restoration of our due status in this perilous Global
World at the all levels.
Yours sincerely,

This is the only good idea McCain has put forward so far in this entire campaign.
I just ordered a sweet Dwight Schrute for President shirt from www.PantherTees.com. They have tons of stuff from The Office. They said not to tell anyone, but here is a 10% discount code, pts10 (its case sensitive, so copy and paste it). Enjoy!
