McCain Loses Pa. Media Coverage to a Dead Body
It would be sad, if it wasn’t so funny. The McCain campaign was gearing up for some smears on Obama in advance of McCain’s appearances in the Philly suburbs yesterday, and called a news conference. Only one TV camera showed up. The rest of the print and broadcast media from the area were covering a report of a dead body found in a local park.

2. Going after low hanging fruit
McCain's campaign still has Palin, and she's still lively. Wrong, but lively.

12. You are implying
that puppets are designed to fool people.

6. The disdainful look
on McCain's face is a clear giveaway that he's alive.

5. It's almost like a skit out of "Greater Tuna" gone haywire
You could almost imagine Aunt Pearl and Vera Carp first looking at the corpse, then slowly over at McKook, then back again. Eventually, Vera drawls the classic line, "awww, I don't know, Pearl. Ya seen one dayid body, y'seen 'em all. They're s'still... an' dayid... an'" (together) "... waxy!"

Yeah, my twisted mind works like that.

:rofl:
