McCain Pokes Fun at Pork Obsession
You can't say John MCain isn't willing to poke fun at himself. He appeared (again) on NBC's Saturday Night Live last weekend, with a very funny fake campaign commercial making the case for a president who's "very, very, very old," and extolling his crusade against pork-barrel spending:
Best quote: "My friends, I've fought waste in government my entire career, and during more than 20 years representing Arizona in both the House and Senate, I've not once sought to bring pork barrel spending back to my state. Not even highway funds! When I entered the Senate in 1987, Arizona had 47,000 miles of paved roadway. Today, it's less than 900.
