While other Republican candidates for president were off wife-roping and campaigning this weekend, John McCain retired to a secluded ranch in Sedona Arizona and gathered near his most cherished press contacts so that they could finally be alone together and talk about where their relationship was going. He forbade political conversation on this somber and sacred weekend, preferring instead to focus on important things such as "dry rubs."
After a lunch of ribs, bratwurst, and soul kisses, a reflective McCain escorted the press on a tour of his home. He showed them paintings and pictures his children made when they were young. Then he served dessert, and everyone came in their pants and wept quietly that John McCain could not give them dry rubs all the time.

Way to ram it up their respective poop-chutes, John Boy!

What did children use before Crayons?
Then they all retreated to the tent where they smoked peyote and John thought he was flying once more.
I didn't look at the links. Is there a money shot featuring Russert and/or Chris ("Hardball") Matthews?
I wanna see brush-cutting, dammit!
What kind of dessert - Oatmeal Walnut Cookies?
@Civil Negligence: A chisel on stone tables. I'm also surprised that WALNUTS! hasn't once regressed back to cuneiform.
wonkette: please refrain from using pictures of WALNUTS! that make him look hot. i've got enough problems.
The McCain campaign staff,better known as the national media,all enjoyed the company picnic.
@demtard: Nope, here in Arizona we call them petroglyphs.
And I don't think I'd be interested in Any of John or Cindy's dry rubs, but I could work something out with their daughter Meghan....
"Then he served dessert, and everyone came in their pants and wept quietly that John McCain could not give them dry rubs all the time."
God you guys kill me.
That picture's out there to try and pick up the Tom Cruise endorsement, because that kind of analogy to the hollywood head of that fine, spiritual organization would help deflect the nutbag reputation that Senator McCain so richly deserves.
Or, uh, not.
@portlandsmart_ass: "nutbag" . Walnuts! Ha. good one.
Caking with salt and constantly covering with lemon juice? Sounds like torture to me.
@Serolf Divad: You really need to add this picture for Lemonjello....a little Maverick on Maverick action.
@wilmawonker: That's really not very funny. Let's just say if you spent years in a POW camp, you'd have good reason to keep your testes in your jowls, too.
@demtard: I might have crossed party lines to get some of THAT. Somebody FAN me!!
@Gopherit:
Done... refresh your browser.
Also, Larry Craig brought the "BBQ sauce."
@Rev. Peter Lemonjello: Walnuts was smokin' hot in his younger years. His son is carrying on the tradition as we speak. The fugly gene, alas, is not always linked to the republican gene. Just usually.
C'mon wonk, give us an 8x11 size of that one. I need a copy I can print and stain!
They've all been dry rubs for McCain since the early 80s [rimshot]
@vespula maculata:
Unfortunately, McCain had a small booger hanging from a nose hair when that picture was taken, so the McCain campaign refuses to release the full sized photo to the media, lest his image as a dashing young lad be compromised.
@Outstando: Bad unintentional puns are always funny, or were you not raised in my family to remember this?
Just goes to show- can't always go for hotness, because the hot turns into grandpappy eventually.
And why would any media outlet even publish this story? McCain had a barbecue? Really? We ate ribs is all they've got?
@Serolf Divad: @Gopherit: problem solved. once W is in the picture, the fire is gone.
no matter how good the marble rye is, if there's a turd in the middle of the sandwich, it's still a turd sandwich.
thanks for the de-WALNUTS!gayification
@Civil Negligence: kinda like when abe lincoln used to do his lessons on the blade of a shovel with a piece of charcoal.
