After the bad press he’s received lately, I’m sure he probably wants one. Try to be funny.

*** UPDATE *** Completely off topic, but while we’re being funny, Adam Nagourney reports that John McCain stumbled a bit today when pressed for several minutes by a reporter in Iowa…

Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?”

Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) “Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before.”

Then Nagourney writes…

This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year.

Wonder who that was? Perhaps these guys can fill us in.

*** UPDATE *** Looks like we have our answer…

[McCain has] also made what he calls “the obligatory visit” to the Iowa State Fair to view a 1,187-pound pig named Waldo and eat pork on a stick, all rites of passage for those who wish to become president.
