McCain to Hide Inside Podium at Debate

In an indication that he is less than confident about his running mate's ability to perform at the vice-presidential debate, Republican presidential nominee John McCain confirmed plans to hide inside Gov. Sarah Palin's podium during the televised face-off.

Sen. McCain had hoped not to resort to such draconian measures, but after reviewing tapes of Gov. Palin's disastrous interviews with CBS' Katie Couric, he reportedly told aides, "Damn it, there's no way I'm letting that doofus take me down."

The Arizona senator plans to crouch inside the podium out of view of the audience, whispering key bits of information to Gov. Palin, such as the names of any Supreme Court decision other than Roe v. Wade, and the names of well-known newspapers and magazines she could pretend to read.

2. Maybe someone in audience giving her signals what to do/not do?

3. My mind immediately went to the gutter with this one...

I've got to admit it.

I'm sure Sarah will return the favor at the next debate. ;)

4. That would be the right thing to do...

problem being the age difference. Is McCain post-Viagra?
