'Cause if you can't laugh at yourself...

The following was a reader comment left at article here. It amused us as it was a warm-hearted critique given in the context of a brass knuckled-election season.


McCain handles his campaign like someone who does not know how to decorate a Christmas tree... Every day it seems like a decoration he put in there before, he does not like and he swaps it out for another decoration. Time and time again he switches out the lights, and replaces them with others. He just can't get a handle on whether to get the lights from Walmart or..., and in the end he buys them at Macy's, because Cindy likes the ones at Macy's, she is used to get the ones at Macy's. Then the Christmas tree decorating is interrupted to buy some more lights, because instead of bying the evergy savers, he decides on the incandescents anyway. Finally he is in a quandrum about how the tree looks... it's crooked and he decides to start all over again. Instead of an artifical one he orders one from Alaaskaa... a real one! He asks Joe the lumber guy to seek one out, when it arrives on site, the tree is too tall and Joe must cut the top off to get it in the living room. He hires Sarah to decorate the tree and she does not like John decorations, so she goes out shopping to get some new ones at "Tarjee." Finally they set it up and when it is finally up and decorated, they all realize they forgot to put the live tree in a bucket to keep it watered and moist. They both decide they will leave it the way it is, because they will get rid of it anyway after the season, and before soon the tree dries up and loses all of it's needles before the end of the season. Joyeux Noel... they sing, and their wishes went in the mail without their names...
