PHOENIX - Senator John McCain, who along with Sarah Palin ran as the GOP presidential ticket in 2008 and lost, has just made a dramatic 2012 presidential race announcement.
The Arizona senator has told The View's Joy Behar that he is planning on running for president in 2012.
Behar reminded him that he had already run in 2008. He smiled, dabbed at his silly-ass comb over and asked, "I did?"
She giggled and replied that he sure did. McCain checked his wallet and said that in that case he was going to have to call his wife (Cindy) and tell her to call the campaign sign people and tell them not to print the McCain in 2012 signs.
Behar replied "Really senator?"
McCain leaned over and told her that he was just pulling her Italian leg and that he knew that he had run on the GOP presidential ticket because after all it had been in every paper in America.
He then asked her if he had told her that he had spent five and a half years in a North Vietnamese Prison Camp. Behar rolled her eyes and replied that she had heard that and informed him to be sure and tell that story every chance he gets since it will certainly get him the votes of anyone who has ever been in prison.
Joy then asked him if he was going to have Sarah Palin on his ticket again.
"Who?" McCain asked.
"Palin, 'Shotgun' Sarah Palin, will she be on your ticket again Senator?"
McCain shook his head. He rolled his eyes. And he took a sip of his Budweiser Light. He then said, "No Behar, I will not have 'Snowflake' on my ticket this time...goodness woman, read my friggin lips okay...I want to win the election this time!"
Behar asked him who he was considering. He grinned and said that there are several people out there who he feels would be great running mates.
He then giggled and said that there is one person though, who he feels can bring in the votes needed to help him get elected.
"Who?" Behar asked enthusiastically.
"Who what?" McCain asked.
Behar asked him who he feels would bring in the votes needed for him to win the White House.
McCain smiled. He took another sip of his Budweiser Light and replied, "Bristol Palin. Bristol 'The Friggin Pistol' Palin is the one person who I can put on the ticket who can guarantee me victory in 2012. Did you see the millions and millions of votes the little Alaskan unwed mommy got on Dancing With The Stars?"
Behar turned red. She coughed. And said that she could certainly not agree with him more.
In other news. Celine Dion has dispelled the rumor that she is giving up singing to concentrate on a professional scuba diving career.
