McCain-Obama Smackdown
February 6, 2006
The Honorable Barack Obama
United States Senate
SH-713
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Obama:
I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurance to me in the Senate dining room last night that you were only going to take "a little bit" of mashed potatoes was sincere. Your comment, while passing a nearly-empty dish to me, that potato consumption is one of the "leading causes of spare tires in old dudes" made it clear that you know jack about carbs. Seriously, senator; Atkins? That you apparently made this comment in hopes of amusing Senator Kennedy belies your claims of wanting to strap on the ol' feedbag in a bipartisan manner, and will certainly not earn you a seat on the Senate Irony Committee.*
I expected better of you, sir, but I have been around long enough to appreciate that exercising common courtesy while dining isn't always a priority for every one of us. Good luck to you, senator.
*By the way, there in no Senate Irony Committee, that's a just a joke we senior senators like to play on noobs.
Did the good Senator have some cake at dinner? Did he eat it too?

That empty bowl upside the head's gonna leave an ugly mark.
Publically releasing this letter comes off as tough-guy tactics (not McCain's strong suit) and an "effort to exploit this issue."
Or maybe I'm just being cynical.
