The McCain Zone
What do you WANT? I already gave you the judges!!
Submitted for your approval, one John McCain, a battle-hardened United States senator who learned long ago that while surrender is not an option, there is a middle ground between victory and defeat.
And though he was always acutely aware of the stark line that separated north from south in a certain east Asian country, for John McCain, the line between right and left - or even right and wrong - is not always readily apparent. And as he is about to find out, no matter how accurate your sense of direction or political compass, it's very easy to make a wrong turn in The Twilight Zone.
You unlock this door using only your skills in negotiation. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of caprice, a dimension of compromise, a dimension of capitulation. You're moving into a land of both nuance and ambiguity, of give and give some more. You've just crossed over into...the Twilight Zone!
I even threw in Bolton. FOR GOD'S SAKE JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT!
John McCain, war hero, lifelong Democrat, and senator to the arid western state of Arizona, has just...
McCain's a Republican, Rod.
...
Ladies and gentlemen, unfolding before your very eyes; a classic case of miscommunication and misinformation. Because in the world of television, the job of a producer can be so demanding that he can be wrong about facts that, insignificant though they may seem...
Seriously, Rod, I'm not wrong. McCain is Republican.
Hey, don't f**k with me Rick. I'm trying to tape a show here, OK?
I'm not f**king with you, Rod. I'm telling you, the guy is a Republican.
Is he an idiot? Look at him!
Is it Brown? It's Brown, isn't it? I can give you Brown!
Well, that should give us plenty of irony to work with, huh?
Irony?? The show is The Twilight Zone, not The Irony Zone. I'm out of here.
How about this - from now on we'll ask for your approval before we nominate any more judges, OK? It'll be just like you're the majority.
Where was this boy when I really needed him?















Rod Serling is so hot.

If the stories circulating around Hollywood are any indication, Rod thought he was hot too *grin*.
