McCain Attacks Washington, Republicans, Old White Men with White Hair

In what some political observers are calling his most ironic speech of the 2008 campaign, GOP presidential nominee John McCain today lashed out at Washington, the Republican Party and a group of insiders he called "old white men with white hair."

"It's time to take our country back," Sen. McCain told his audience in Dayton, Ohio. "It's time to send a message to those in power -- those Republicans in Washington, those old white men with their combed-over white hair."

Sen. McCain went on to attack the power elite on Wall Street, calling them "wealthy plutocrats with private jets and too many houses to keep track of."

"The time has come to say enough is enough to those rich old white men," he said. "And the same goes to their zombie-like trophy wives who plaster their makeup on like trollops."

Every day he steals a new line... He has no shame.

As unsubtle a satire as you can get, and most realized it; but a couple of DUers still got caught.

12. they usually get it in the end

:) Irony usually weeds out the trolls too, they don't understand it. :)

13. LOL Peeps really need to start actually reading posts

before replying to them. Especially if we are going to chide someone about what THEY posted. Although the way the McCain campaign has been 'appropriating' Obamas slogans lately, perhaps we have to cut them a little slack.

Loved the article, I think good satire, and sarcasm for that matter, are almost a lost art.
