McCain Reaches Out to the Blogosphere

I love politics but I don’t love writing about it. It isn’t funny….it’s depressing. But today a headline caught my eye and I felt compelled to scribble something down. Apparently John McCain reached out today to the blogosphere.

Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign is trying to tap a new audience of potential voters by taking his campaign message straight to liberal and nonpolitical issues-based blogs, which reach millions of readers but don’t often delve into conservative politics.

“The plan is to take the work we’ve already built on with conservative bloggers and to open up a dialogue with non-conservative bloggers and even nonpolitical bloggers,” said Patrick Hynes, Mr. McCain’s point man for blog outreach.

Well, toiletscribble.com just so happens to be a blog and it’s definitely not conservative so I guess that includes me. I feel a little dirty saying that, ‘John McCain reached out to me’. It sounds like some kind of euphemism. But when someone takes the time to reach out you have to respond. It’s a matter of being polite.

So Mr. McCain, if you are reading, please consider this post my response to your call to the blogosphere.

I sincerely hope that in the next few days you develop a severe case of gonorrhea and it is so bad you have to drop out of the campaign. I hope that as a result of your gonorrhea some reporter starts digging into your love life and uncovers that you are gay and actually secretly married to a 3 foot horse jockey named Jose in Vermont. I hope that on the night of your defeat in November as you walk on stage to concede the race to Obama that your pants fall down and cause you to trip and it is revealed that you wear pink speedo underwear with a bullseye printed on the back.

While I salute your service to this country we just do not need another shortsighted right-wing ass clown in the White House. In fact I think Bush has squandered all of our ass clown tolerance for the next 50 years or so. To your credit you can actually speak in full sentences and you can probably point to the United States on a map but that is not what makes a President.

Again, thank you for reaching out to me and thank you for accepting my reach around.
