I guess when McCain heard that 33+ million people watch O-TV on Wednesday, he panicked. Now McCain’s using HRC's play book to the letter. I can almost hear the discussion that took place:
JOHN MCCAIN: How did “that one” do with his commercial? (With clenched teeth)
RICK DAVIS: (McCain’s Chief Campaign Manager). Well according to Neilsen, the Commie pulled in 33 million.
MCCAIN: (Neck pulled back—blanked stare--but faced turns red) I don’t believe this [add curse word]. What are we going to do?
DAVIS: John, you need to humanize myself, maybe even shed a tear. But we got no more money in the kitty.
(Phone rings) What? Hey Steve [Steve Schmidt]. We need some more robo calls in Arizona?….Money?...Well sell some of Palin’s clothes. That whack job is not wearing them anyway.
MCCAIN: (Stares at the ceiling)….
DAVIS: Well we need a cheap way to get you exposure. What did Hillary do? Think, Rick, Think. (Fingers snapped) That’s it, you’ll go on SNL.
MCCAIN: (Eyes widened) Suppose my ratings are lower than Ms. Palin’s?
DAVIS: That’s a chance we need to take. Just remember, don’t force a smile, you look like a dying frog when you do that.
MCCAIN: Hey, you said that I should go on Larry King Live on Wednesday to offset that Ayers-loving Socialist’s infomercial. Now those liberal elite comedians are saying that the interview reminded them of the movie “The Bucket List.”
DAVIS: Well Hillary did it and it helped her.
MCCAIN: Yep. But didn’t she loose?
DAVIS: Yes, but she got a bump in the polls for a few days and that’s all you’ll need.
MCCAIN: Good point. Let’s do it.
