Vote McCain. Do it for the comedy.

By "Milbarge" and "Fitz-Hume"

Two reasons to vote for McCain. Both have comedic implications.

1. Many people out there are more than willing to label any criticism of Obama as racist. This has implications not only for the current campaign, but also for talk shows and comedians across the country. Can you imagine 4 (or 8) years of not being able to criticize, mock, or satire the President for fear of being branded a racist and losing your job? A few weeks back I was watching the Daily Show, and Stewart had a joke on Obama. A good joke. After he delivered it the crowd was silent. He looked at the audience and said "You're allowed to laugh at him." The sad thing is that is seems too many people either won't or are afraid to. I personally don't want a President that can't be mocked every night on TV.

2. Can you imagine the comedy of watching Obama's die-hard supporters if he loses? Four years ago liberals were threatening to leave the country if Kerry lost, and most of them didn't even like him. Before the nomination was clinched, many were threatening to march on Denver if he didn't get the nomination. For all those people who faint in his presence and believe he will create world peace his first full day on job, watching how they handle defeat (my guess: not well) would be comedy gold.
