John McCain: Dancing as Fast as He Can
Hey kids! Anyone else watch Dancing With the Stars? Yeah, I admit it, I have watched every season. I am just getting over the nightmares I had last season after seeing the flesh on Wayne Newton’s face stretched so tight that, every time he raised his eyebrows, his manboobs jiggled.
So anyway, I tune in to watch this season, and there’s Priscilla Presley with so much botox and collogen in her face that she has to wear this
around her neck! Seriously, these people are so friggin’ rich, and they still can’t afford a plastic surgeon who doesn’t make people look like The Joker from Batman? She couldn’t even smile!!! I’m not kidding! I bet she has to eat through a straw, because I don’t think her jaw can move enough to chew! Seriously, you have to watch just to see her face!
But I digress. This isn’t about Dancing With the Stars, Mr. Danke Schoen, or Elvis’s ex. So what is this about? Damned if I remember. Hold on, I think I wrote it down somewhere……Oh, yeah!! It’s about Captain Underpants John McCain! Dancing John McCain!
It all started back in April of 2007. I reported on Captain Underpants’s John McCain’s trip to Baghdad. That’s when I first spotted his propensity for dancing.

Trip the light fantastic with me, and I will show you more of Captain Underpants’s John McCain’s twinkletoes, as well as some advice I have for him.
Previously, I have reported to you how Captain Underpants John McCain tiptoes around issues…
…and his song and dance about how he will change things in Washington, but we all know that he is stuck in the past. 
I think Captain Underpants John McCain needs to jazz things up a bit, show what a hep cat he really is. Being a good-natured bitch person, I am going to help him out. Here’s my plan….
Ladies and gentlemen, American Street urchins, and my dear visiting Raisinettes, I present to you…..

Let’s face it, no matter what Captain Underpants’s John McCain’s handlers try, they can’t make him younger, smarter, or more appealing to the conservative base. Therefore, they will have to depend on a running mate to make the ticket a bit more appetizing. I thought we could look at some of the possible choices and the dances that would suit them best.
The Paso Doble is a theatrical dance in which one partner plays the part of a bullfighter, and the other partner plays the cape, there to the bullfighter’s bidding. Who has proven lately to be someone who will lower himself to do the bidding of Captain Underpants John McCain? Why, Mitt Romney, of course!

The Foxtrot is basically the Two-Step (as opposed to the Keating 5-Step, which we may cover at a future date). Now, the word trot might not be a very good one to use in the McCain campaign, as its plural is trots, and that might suggest an incontinence problem, and Captain Underpants John McCain is almost 72 years old. Therefore, people might be reassured by a Veep who is a couple of decades younger than he is. Tim Pawlenty, governor of Minnesota, is just a kid at 47 and has been mentioned as a possible running mate.

The Rethuglicans have been accused of being the party of exclusion, so perhaps a woman as a running mate might be the answer. Talk about inclusive, what about a woman of color? And what if there is the added bonus that she is in the pocket of Big Oil? You are way ahead of me, aren’t you, kids? You know I am talking about Condi! And since we are talking about Big Oil, you know that they must be dancing the Cha-cha-ching!

Then again, maybe it’s time for a reach around….I mean time to reach across the aisle. The Tango is a dance of flirtation and passion, and we all know who Captain Underpants John McCain is crazy about, and vice versa–Joe Lieberman! Why, I read that just yesterday, Joe was whispering sweet nothings into Captain Underpants’s John McCain’s ear! And in public! Yep, I think the Tango is perfect for them!

What a fun show this could be, kids! We can check with the judges to see what they think…

and, of course, there will be guest stars! One of the first will be the endorserer-in-chief, who will be performing…

Is there room on the dance floor for John McCain and Mike Huckabee to do the Dirty Bop?

More brilliance! You amaze me with your skills.
March 19th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Oh, nonnie! These are funny and a half. I guess the Lambada, with Hillary, is out of the question.
March 19th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
hey fearguth,
huckabee was actually on my original list, but they don’t do square-dancing on DWTS.
dcup,
thanks, pardner! these took hours and hours and hours, but they were fun to do! glad you liked them.
fotc,
as it gets closer to election day, we can revisit captain underpants’s dancing skills. if you have any favorite dances, let me know. i will warn you, though, that the mexican hat dance might be out of the picture. i think captain underpants wants to build a wall to keep out mexican hat dancers.

Always look on the bright side of death.

The surge seems to be working.
March 19th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
there ya go, ck! there’s always a silver lining on the sunni side of the street!
maybe we can invent a new dance called the surge–you take one step forward and 2 steps back.

jlms,
i wonder how much of what captain underpants says is pure pandering and what parts are his true intentions. whatever is the truth, i think that his mental faculties are not sharp enough. he sounds like a doddering old fool when he speaks.
March 19th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
pandering + intentions /=/ straight talk
March 19th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
i think the new definition of straight talk is that things go straight from mclieberman, straight into capt. underpants’s ear, and then straight out of his mouth.
