John MaCain Was Born In Milwaukee
JOHN MaCain Was Born In Milwaukee. Fact.
It’s as much of a fact as the other fact that John McCain says he would hate to live in Milwaukee.
Here’s the Washington Post article in which McCain turned his back on his home town. He’s at a Diamondbacks-Padres game with the journalist Mark Leibovich:
McCain spent 51/2 years as a POW and is now sitting at a ballgame, spooning Heath bar ice cream into his mouth and belly-laughing at his joke. If any demons linger, they are perfectly hidden.
The Diamondbacks score four runs in the third inning. Outfielder Luis Gonzalez waves to McCain from the on-deck circle. “You see that, Luis-Luis waved to me,” McCain says.
Between pitches, the following tidbits of McCainiana are gleaned:
• He would hate to live in Milwaukee.
• He has been unimpressed with Kerry’s recent performances: “Kerry’s gotta stop nuancing everything.”
• John Edwards would have been a tougher nominee to beat.
“This is your pitch, Richie, c’mon, c’mon,” McCain yells at Diamondbacks slugger Richie Sexson. Sexson is facing San Diego’s Jason Szuminski, a rookie pitcher who attended MIT.
“NASA, here we come,” McCain says after Sexson hits a towering home run. Szuminski leaves the mound after giving up five runs.
“That’s why we don’t have more pitchers from MIT,” McCain says, speaking loudly enough for fans nearby to hear. He is showing a version of himself unseen to this point, but one which suits him: senator as heckler.
And that’s it. Fact.
Barack Obama says he would like to live in the hearts of all Milwaukeeans…

hey lay off McCain and Richie both (in fact, spell his name right!) and if you had paid attention, Richie hasn’t played for the Diamondbacks for about four years.
You should have used it in the LAST election!
McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Again…….. sigh what can I say?

Ah, it’s bound to go at some point. Steep as that descent over the lake is, someone’s going to take out downtown. Is “circle” not recognized as a verb in Wisconsin?

Wasn’t John McCain born outside the US? Can we just send Milwaukee wherever that was?

Look on the bright side; I’m pretty sure that Al Qaeda is good at getting the vote out…

Yes indeed, his only chance now would be constantly wearing a Green Bay Packers shirt and a Milwaukee Brewers hat at all his appearances. And even then I dont think it will work.

And those wicked people from Milwaukee have been nursing a grudge ever since 2004…

Now, I dont live in Milwaukee anymore but I live near it. Apart from our dreaded Wisconsin winter it’s not a bad place at all.
McCain doesn’t have to worry though he probably wont win this state anyway, Bush didn’t either.
So maybe he’s setting up his excuse….. “I could have won it but I insulted their largest
city! Damn cheeseheads!”
