Fake Republican John McCain Refuses To Be Transvestite On TeeVee

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Senor FrogTo appeal to the 45-year-old bitter people who enjoy the 34-year-old Saturday Night Live teevee program because they are too old/poor to actually do anything on Saturday night, 71-year-old John McCain will make a very brief appearance on SNL at exactly 11:35 p.m. tomorrow.
