McCainiac Media Admires Object of Its Affection in Tropical Hideaway
Monday, October 17th, 2005
The roving Ms. Wonkette checks in with a dispatch from the orgy of elite media self-congratulation known as the American Society of Magazine Editors conference at a lavishly appointed beachside Puerto Rican resort.
Fresh off the craps table (where he apparently won $200 last night), McCain sat with Newsweek editor Evan Thomas for a 30 minute tongue bath. I mean interview.
Thomas led with a question about the disastrous unintended effects of campaign finance reform. Oh, we kid: Actually, he asked if McCain was running for president. And then McCain said, “Yes.”
Kidding again. He trotted out Mo Udall’s chestnut on the issue (Google it if you like, it was too much of a cliche to write down). The dogged Thomas countered with “Do you want to be president?”
McCain: “Of course, I want to be emperor.”
More of the funny man love fest after the jump.
