McCain ≠ “End of the World”

So, it’s looking like McCain is the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party. It could be worse. Not by much, but it could be…

See, what I’m thinking is that in order to regain some of the Conservative side of the party, McCain will have to pick a strong Conservative as Veep. Someone like Duncan Hunter. Or possibly, Fred Thompson.

And as Cheney has proved, we all know that the Vice President is the real power in Washington.

(A White House Press Conference, sometime in the future)

“President McCain, could you explain your sudden change on Border Control and your vetoing the very same Amnesty bill that you yourself sponsored when you were in the Senate?” All across the room, pencils were poised and microphones edged a little closer to the President.

McCain cleared his throat. “Ahem. As I was saying earlier, after a long, closed door meeting with the Vice President, we decided that this was the correct course of action.”

The reporter quickly responded with a follow-up, “But what made you change your mind?”

“I don’t need to explain that.” McCain replied a little warily, as subconsciously his hand went to a bruise on his cheek.

Another reporter stood up and asked, “Mr. President, what happened to your face?”

McCain glanced over to Vice President Thompson, standing next to the door to the press room. Thompson minutely shook his head as he frowned at the President.

“Er, ah…” McCain waffled for a moment as he thought. “I tripped and fell into a doorknob. No more questions.”

McCain quickly left the podium as the reporters pelted him with more questions. Quietly, Fred Thompson walked up to the microphones. “This press conference is now over. Any further questions can be given to our new Press Secretary.”

The first reporter turned to the Press Secretary. “You don’t look much like a Press Secretary. In fact, you look an awful lot like an angry Rottweiler in a tie…”
