"Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted..." - McCain and the Mamas and Papas

[PCIntern]

a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

McCain is broke: he's way behind in fund raising, some states have limits on fiscal issues with the campaigns; he's morally broke; he's emotionally broke; and he's politically broke; and according to George Will,he's journalistically broke.

He's busted: He was busted lying over and over again; he was busted bringing a cipher, an empty pants-suit, a Matt Taibbi-described tawdry woman to the ticket; he was busted for calling his wife a c--t in front of five reporters; he was busted in his (admitted) lack of knowledge about things economic, and as it turns out, everything else; he was busted for having relationships outside his marriages; and weirdly, he was busted not for having a relationship 50 years ago with a hot Brazilian babe, but for the fact that 50 years after, she looks exactly as Cindy would if she hadn't had all that plastic surgery; and worst of all, he was self-busted for telling that horrifying joke about Chelsea Clinton, for which her father should have punched him in the mouth.

He's disgusted: He's waited all his life for this and he screwed it up at the end with all kinds of ridiculous decisions including, but not limited to, the selection of the Failing governor of a small (population-wise) state. His self-disgust should include the fact that if he actually were to win this race, then he would have millions of Evangelicals praying every Sunday for some misfortune to befall him in order that his VeeePeee (her pronunciation, not mine) could take over and address the Fourth Reich. He's pissed off at himself and it shows.

His agents can't be trusted: he brought in the Bush folk and they've screwed up big-time. It's an unmitigated disaster. As well as it should be. He deserves nothing less.

Sing along with me, now...

Creeque Alley

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave their folk music behind;
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line.
In a coffee house Sebastian sat,
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Zal he said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south."
Denny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you."
Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day.
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,
"Take me to New York right away."
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps---
Don't you work as hard as you play.
Make up, break up, everything is shake up;
Guess it had to be that way.
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful;
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea.
Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it---
We knew she'd come eventually.
Greasin' on American Express cards;
Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely.
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality...

7. Haha, true, but gonan play devils advocate with ya for a second...

You should take out the part about the Brazilian who "looks just like Cindy if she hadn't had all the plastic surgery." I believe Cindy is like 20 years younger and I'm not sure if she has actually had a lot of plastic surgery. Maybe a facelift but hey, my mom has had a facelift. :-)

8. "Maybe" A facelift? Just one procedure...? LOL.

point is not that she had a facelift, but that this lady bears a striking resemblance to the lady whom he chose, while married, to be his next conquest.
