The End of McCain

So what happens when you as a presidential candidate parody what is already the farce of your own campaign? You get something like this. To my eyes this looks like a FU sendoff to Sarah Palin.

FEY AS PALIN - "So instead of going to one of those elite department stores with their liberal agendas and over-priced items and their gotcha return policies that violate your First Amendment rights, why not do your holiday shopping with us? (SHE turns to a different camera) Okay, listen up everybody, I am goin' rogue right now so keep your voices down. Available now, we got a buncha' these 'Palin in 2012' T-shirts. Just try and wait until after Tuesday to wear 'em okay? Because I'm not goin' anywhere. And I'm certainly not goin' back to Alaska. If I'm not goin' to the White House, I'm either runnin' in four years or I'm gonna be a white Oprah so, you know, I'm good either way."
MCCAIN - "What's going on over there, Sarah?"
FEY AS PALIN - "Oh...just talkin' about taxes." (SHE winks)

SETH MEYERS - "With the election only three days away, most polls show Barack Obama leading John McCain by a slight margin. Here to comment on his campaign strategy, Senator John McCain."
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN - "Thank you Seth. You know, a lot can happen in three days. And while I am confident that we will emerge victorious, I'm also considering a few radical last-minute strategies."
MEYERS - "New strategies, like what?
SEN. MCCAIN - "Well you know how people call me "the maverick"
MEYERS - "Yeah."
SEN. MCCAIN - "Well, I thought I'd try a strategy called the 'Reverse Maverick.' That's where I do whatever anybody tells me. I don't ask questions - I just go with the flow. If that doesn't work, I go to the 'Double Maverick.' That's where I go totally berserker and just freak everybody out. Even the regular mavericks."
MEYERS - "That doesn't sound like the best strategy."
SEN. MCCAIN - "It isn't. And here's another bad one. It's called 'The Sad Grandpa.' That's where I get on TV and go, 'C'mon, Obama's gonna have plenty of chances to be President! It's my turn! Vote for me!'"
MEYERS - "Yeah, I don't know if I'd do that."

Seems to me he's already employed these strategies so maybe this is for his entire campaign staff and handlers.

In reality (0.00 / 0)

McCain has already tried the maverick, the reverse maverick, the double maverick with a lie twist (or is that twit?), and the off the rails maverick with plenty of spin...

The only things he hasn't tried are the sad grandpa... And actually telling the truth.
