Sirened

Here’s Johnie McNuts sitting next to his decrepit old mom as they banter away about when John was born. John thinks it was on Friday, his Mom says Saturday, but given that it happened during the War of 1812, it’s sometimes difficult to recount such things. “He’s not perfect” Roberta McCain says, but she thinks he’ll make a great president…of the AARP of course.

Whoever edited this deserves immense credit for the countless takes they had to cut to make it seem like a somewhat coherent conversation took place here.

It’s shocking that with John McCain coming up on his 72nd birthday that his mother is still alive. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode involving the Mandelboms where they keep challenging Jerry to a TV lifting contest in the hospital. Each time the older Mandelbom throws his back out when he cannot lift the TV and Jerry is to blame every time for egging them on. Just when you think the oldest Mandelbom is in a hospital bed, an even older one appears to challenge Jerry for the Mandelbom name…Mandelbom, Mandelbom, Mandelbom!

And let me say, if my wife and I have a kid someday, she kindly requests 27 bottles of scotch, just like Roberta got for having Johnie!
