In an election year that has surprises about gender, race and costumes, no shocker has been bigger than the disqualification of Arizona Senator John Mccain because of his birth outside of the US of A in the Panama Canal Zone.
The constitution requires that a candidate for President be a "Naturally-born citizen" Well, Bush's Supremes have decided that the canal zone in 1936 (Gawd, is he that old?!) does not qualify.
Always the slippery senior senator, McCain has declared his candidacy for Panamanian tribal Chieftain. Boasting of an endorsement from ex-Chieftain, convicted drug-dealer and Bush family friend, Generalissimo Jorge Noriega, McCain initiated his campaign with a promise to bring the canal back to the us: "I wuz born here and I will be re-born here and Panama will be returned as the 51st state, malaria-bearing mosquitoes, mosquitos(Dan Quayle, be damned) and all!"
