RSSJohn McHipster: Irony First
Anybody up for an ironic 80's video game?
Finally, in the middle of all the bailout talk someone -- the Huffington Post -- is bringing up the Keating Five, an offshoot of the S&L debacle that should have (and almost did) cost John McCain his career. We'll leave to Huffpost to go through the details (short version: everything John McCain has ever said about his support of regulation is a lie), but just look at the photo.
Sure, McCain doesn't want to dredge up this period in his life, but maybe he should at least bring back the look -- he's getting crushed by Obama in the crucial hipster doofus demo. A 23/6 poll has him running behind on Obama on the L-Train by 98-2 (+/- 3 percent).
He should bring back those glasses, put on some tube socks and an ironic 80's, neon t-shirt and go after Obama's strength. He's halfway there already:
