McCain Names Veep on The Daily Show
By Duane Lester • May 8th, 2008The Daily Show host John Stewart asked John McCain who was going to be his running mate in the campaign. Sen. McCain didn’t hesitate in revealing his choice for running mate:
The all-but-certain Republican nominee did reveal a few tidbits. His Secret Service code name, he thinks, “is ‘jerk,’” and his choice for a vice presidential running mate is Dwight Schrute, a character on the NBC sitcom, “The Office,” played by Rainn Wilson.
That is actually very funny. He also got his shots in on Barack, reminding everyone that he is Hamas’ choice for president:
Stewart asked whether McCain really believed the Islamic terrorist group Hamas had endorsed Obama. McCain’s campaign issued a fundraising letter after a Hamas adviser, Ahmed Yousef, said the group likes Obama.
“It’s indicative of how some of our enemies view America,” McCain said. “And I guarantee you, they’re not going to endorse me.”
Off camera, Obama’s campaign said McCain should apologize for “repeating tired and divisive attacks about Barack Obama that he knows are flat-out untrue.”
Right, Barack. Like that whole thing you’ve been saying about staying in Iraq 100 years is right on the money, completely honest and not a “tired and divisive attack.” Quit whining, Rookie, and get in the game.
