McCAIN BOOED AT ON-LINE GRADUATION CEREMONY

[Don Davis]

Demonstrating his versatility in arousing passions in a variety of venues, Senator John McCain was "electronically booed" today at the latest stop on his "Straight-Talk Commencement Tour" -- the graduation ceremony of Phoenix University On-Line.

While "instant messaging" his tired old "tolerance and diversity speech," the Senator was greeted with a return barrage of nasty IMs from the On-Line graduating class. Typical of the comments were "Drop Falwell from your Buddy List," "Get Your Face Out of MySpace," and "Your Shtick on 'Nam - is Nothing but Spam."

McCain also inspired the future generation to create emoticons never before seen. One, featuring a Smiley Face with its head up its ass, was labeled "Neo-Con Emoticon." Another bore the likeness of Edward G. Robinson from The Ten Commandments, bellowing: "Where's your WMD now?"

Another disgusted student suggested that for subsequent graduation speeches, McCain come out from behind the lecturn and abandon the traditional cap and gown. Instead, she recommended that he stand on top of a box, wear a gown and hood, and tether himself to live wires.

Mr. McCain, a battle-hardened veteran of the Hanoi Hilton, was his typical unflappable self, urging the young folks to "follow your hearts and consciences, unless, of course, you're seeking the GOP Presidential nomination."

While the Senator could not be reached for comment after this embarrassing episode, his campaign immediately issued a press release cancelling his next stop -- a "Moving Up" ceremony for a private nursery school on New York's Upper West Side.

1. Geez. You had me going...

I was getting a little skeptical around the 'smiley with it's head up it's ass' -- but didn't really return to reality until you got to the 'moving up ceremony at the nursery' -> :eyes:

I'd LOVE to see what toddlers would do to the guy! Food, pee, boogers... :rofl:

3. If children and dogs are the best judges of character, McCain should...

...cancel any appearances he has scheduled for obedience school graduations, too.

2. His online and live appearances before liberal audiences are raising

his credibility with the freepers.

The more we spit on him, the more they'll love him. Methinks this Republican throwback knows what he's doing.

4. McCain thinks everyone loves him.

I bet he still does even after this week's events.
