Sign #8,754 that your campaign is in more than a bit o’ trouble: When your prez & v-prez candidates make people think “damn, I wish we were still nominating smart people like W & that guy who was W’s daddy’s VP.”

Sign #8,755: When one of those people pretty much admits as much on FOX NEWS.

Of course, the only people who would note the Danny Quayle connection are elitist elites who read “history books” or “pay attention to historical precedents” or, ya know, “think.”

Doesn’t it just fill you with hope and pride that McCain mentioned the guy 21 times during a debate (I’m sick of the way it has to be “fair and balanced” Obama mentioned him 4 or 5 times, all in response to McCain).

McCain-Palin-Plumber

It’s amazing that they’ve managed to make Bush look like FDR.

Though “Joe the Plumber” has become a centerpiece of McCain’s campaign in the closing days of the presidential race, McCain aides told FOX News the Republican nominee does not share Wurzelbacher’s opinion on Obama’s view toward Israel.

To review:

1) The “centerpiece” of McMaverick’s effort to gain the leadership of United States of America is a plumber whose “credibility” rests solely on once having ambushed McMaverick’s opponent with false concerns, & then responding to the extended, thoughtful response he got by comparing Barack Obama to Sammy Davis Jr.

2) McMaverick doesn’t really agree with what the “centerpiece” of his campaign actually, you know, says.

In other words, with the election less than a week away, McMaverick has decided to focus his attention on the oft-ignored “we think Palin’s too intellectual for us” demographic.
