In other news, John McCain announced today that he had chosen Ronald Reagan to share the ticket with him. Upon being reminded that the former President had passed some years ago, McCain became abusive, pushed over the podium, and began vowing revenge against Ho Chi Minh, whom he asserted was responsible for the demise of the iconic GOP figure.
Senator Joseph Lieberman came forward and calmed the Republican nominee by repeatedly engaging him in singing the chorus of the satirical tune, "Bomb Bomb Bomb--Bomb Bomb Iran".
The Presidential candidate was then lead to an awaiting limosine by Senators Lindsey Graham and Lieberman and rapidly driven away from the gathering.
The McCain campaign issued a short statement later in the day saying, "He'll get over it. He always does".
