When George Stephanopolous sat down with McCain for an interview at his ranch, the scenes at left are what they wanted you to see.
But my intrepid photographer hid behind a boar’s head at the side of the room. (The boar was threatening John’s cattle, he had no choice but to shoot the mangy critter. Besides, boar meat makes some mighty tasty barbeque.) Here’s one of the moments he captured before the cameras started rolling. He had his tape recorder running too.
 This is fun, ain’t it, Georgie boy? You and me pretend to arm wrestle, then you ask me one of them tough questions of yours, and it looks like you’re about to pin me, when POW! I slam your arm to the table. It goes kinda like this. You ask me about how I said the other day a timetable might be a good idea, just like Obama’s been sayin’ all along. Then POW! I say it all depends on conditions on the ground and he doesn’t know what it takes to win a war. I’m right. He’s wrong. I’m a winner. He’s a loser. Next you ask me whether I’d raise taxes on Social Security. I say, nothin’s off the table. Maybe I would, maybe I wouldn’t. Sounds like you got me, right? POW! Next day, I say, “No New Taxes.” I win again. When this here interview’s over, we’ll mosey on down to mah Maverick Fence. I’ll show you how I Straight Talk from both sides of that fence. Believe me, Georgie boy, It’s a sight to behold! |
