McCain's Debate Dodge from a Different Angle

Dear Senator McCain:

As someone who makes her living these days putting together events and booking venues, may I just ask...

HAVE YOU FUCKING LOST YOUR MIND?

Of course, I realize that you're very busy "suspending*" your campaign and strategically mucking up the negotiation process on Capitol Hill, but I ask again.....

HAVE YOU FUCKING LOST YOUR MIND?

Forget that Americans want to see how you stack up against Obama in a debate, forget how silly and impetuous this makes you look, forget all that. Think of the planners, I tell you. Think man, think!

By announcing that you might not attend the debate, you have just demonstrated how out of touch you are. Well, at least meeting and event planners can now see how out of touch you are. Do you think a nationally televised event such as this just happens in a vacuum? Do you think it's done by little event planning elves? Magic?

It takes many teams of people to produce and event like this. If I were on the team at Ole Miss who had put this event together - from fund raising and promotions to checking and double checking the food & beverage orders to ensure that the Starlight Mints were placed just so on the podiums - I would be organizing my coworkers to become Obama volunteers starting Monday, September 29th just to make sure your tired, old, petulant ass gets soundly kicked.

It's bad enough that the Republicans are seeking to hang this financial mess around the necks of the Democrats, but it's even more disgusting that you are willing to take this critical moment in our history and play the fucking hell of politics out of it.

You should be spanked so hard your teeth fly out of your mouth and land in the next state. That, my friend, is not the good kind of spanking.

Now, get your sorry ass on your wife's private jet and wing on down to Mississippi and get on that stage and stop your fucking whining. And if I hear you say "I've asked Senator Obama to join me in townhall meetings......" one more time. Look, you silly maverick, you're having trouble making one debate. A person would have to be crazy to take on the task of planning even one townhall for you, much less ten.

I understand that you're feeling desperate. You're flailing. People like Sarah more than they like you and her stock is dropping. Right now, we should probably just extend to you some empathy, but you've tested our collective patience one too many times.

Go, Senator McCain, prepare to appear tonight on that stage and make your case for why you should lead this nation.

And don't be surprised if your microphone doesn't work.......

Regards,

DCup

*McCain has NOT suspended his campaign. His surrogates are still over the political talk shows, his ads are still running in swing states and his state offices are still open.
