Senator John McCain has reportedly invited 20 couples over to his Sedona, Arizona compound for a Memorial Day BBQ get-together, 3 of which include his top VP candidate picks, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Louisiana Governor Jindal, and Florida Governor Charlie Crist. McCain, a reportedly very "social" person needs to see his VP picks up close in a social setting to see who he feels most comfortable with before whittling down his list to his VP choice on the ticket. Further down on McCain's list are Ohio Representative Portman and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, both of whom declined to attend and sit at a card table to the side of the main table.
The menu will be sponsored by Metamucil and Poli-Grip, featuring easily chewed items with high fiber contents. Entertainment will include a provocative dance number with the surviving members of the Golden Girls.
I don't want to say that McCain's finances are dwindling, but admission is $10,000.00, and the open bar will feature $2 draft beers from wife Cindy's beer distributorship (see Cindy's IRS tax forms here).
The guest list was reduced dramatically from the 250 invitations previously sent out, when it was discovered that the vast majority of John's friends are high level lobbyists by vocation.
The menu will be co-sponsored by the makers of Metamucil and Poli-Grip, featuring foods easily chewed with high fiber content. Entertainment will include a provocative dance number by the surviving members of "The Golden Girls," or as McCain likes to call them "The Old C*%#'s." Music is reportedly being provided by the "Keating Five."
Over at the Obama camp, David Axlerod is contemplating a backyard "pot" luck BBQ burger event at the Obama residence with his top picks, Hillary Clinton, Ohio Gov Strickland, Ind. Sen Bayh, Penn. Gov. Rendell, Florida Sen. Nelson, Virginia Senator Webb, Georgia Senator Nunn, Kansas Governor Sebelius and Virginia Gov. Mark Warner.
The menu will include an impressive array of burger condiments (fixins), all of which would be handled by Tony Rezco, who reportedly "fixes" everything in Chicago. The guest list would also include former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson, who reportedly has been hired to perform the VP candidate vetting process, similar to his previous experience in vetting the candidates in 1984 for Walter Mondale, and in 2004 for John Kerry.
In an attempt to appeal to the hardworking (white) voting blocks, the menu will include corn on the cob, corn dogs and Pabst blue ribbon beer, and the event will feature music by the Weather Underground. Pictured to the right, Barack practices up on the billiard table, where they will be serving the "vittles."
