This just in...after this weekend’s announcement by the McCain Campaign that they would begin "Turning the page" and would now turn their attention to personal attacks on Obama. Beginning with remarks on Sunday by Palin saying Obama "sees America as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country'', McCain called an emergency Phone call with her...AND WE’VE GOT IT
John: Sarah, thanks for taking my call. I know you’re very busy getting out the Wingnut vote for me and we both know I couldn’t have done it without you. I still can’t figure out why they don’t embrace me...but oh well........ Sarah, I think we have a problem. You may have gone too far with your "Palling with Terrorists" remark.
Sarah: John, what do you mean, tell me it’s so! I was just reading the script.
John: Sarah, do you know anything about my past? Have you ever heard of the Keating 5? My God Sarah, don’t you read the newspapers or National Magazines?
Sarah: Now John....I’ve already answered that question....gosh, you sound like Couric. So what is this Keating 5 thingie?
John: It’s bad Sarah, really bad, and worst of all, they caught me! And my wife and family were also involved. It’s a huge Savings and Loans scandal that I was directly involved in. I really didn’t want this to surface.
Sarah: Well, I’m not the best shot from a helicopter.....also, but if we could somehow tie this to the safety of your family, then maybe I could make a call or send some private emails. And as such...also, I could call Alaska’s Public Safety Commissioner in Alaska to control any fallout. This new guy will do anything I tell him to.
John: Sarah, you just don’t get it! (pauses....where did I hear that) This is just the beginning. Now Obama is going to tell everyone how reckless I was with planes, how I cheated on my first wife, how I took vacations with Keating, and....well he better not bring up Cindy’s drug addiction problem and subsequent prosecution.
Sarah: oh john, tell me it isn’t so! I had no idea, I was just firing up the base. I knew nothing about this stuff, especially Cindy’s drug problem.
John: Sarah, don’t feel bad, I didn’t find out about Cindy’s 3 year addiction until a year after....and only after an ex-employee took it to the media...I hate the media! She never told me, and of course we were just so close with each other that...well I couldn’t see it. She hid it from me and since I had my own problems to deal with, I never noticed. But the American public knows that Cindy and I are soul mates, best friends, and I love her dearly....more than my first wife, that’s for sure.
Sarah: yeah, don’t get me started on the media, we should just get rid of them. They serve no purpose in a free society and they are not patriotic. Also...also... they ask questions, then want me to clarify my answers. Hey, it’s just like I tell my kids, "practice abstinence". I don’t "discuss the matter any further with them, or clarify my statements. If I didn’t do this with my kids, why would I do it with the media?
John: sarah, I hate them too. I’d like to drive my "straight talk express bus" right up their ass. That would show’em. But I’m really worried. This debate on Tuesday....well if Obama brings up any of this stuff, I’m just going to explode. If that uppity $%$@!* says anything about my character or wife, I will just lose it.......... I’m a POW. I deserve to be worshiped... how you do think I got elected in the first place.
Sarah: Oh...John, let’s not panic. Does your wife still have her connection to those drugs? I think you should take some just before the debate. If not, Todd might know of someone we can get some stuff from.
John: go ahead and check it out for me... I think the guy she got the stuff from got disbarred; she just had to serve soup for awhile. Sarah, we have to win this thing and I really don’t care how or what the F$%^*# public thinks. Hell, Chaney said the same thing about the war and he’s still there. This is my last chance, I getting to old. You may be able to run again in 2012, but I can’t!
Sarah:............long pause................... ....
John: Sarah, are you still there?
Sarah: Yes, John, I was just thinking......also....
UH?........tell me more about this Keating 5.
