You know what makes an awesome, awesome chaser to a Presidential debate?
This song.
Yes, it is from The Fix. There's some stuff in the beginning that is excellent but not overly relevant to the topic at hand, and then the Political Lessons begin.
GRAHAME
Now Cal, you are going to limit yourself to three topics.
LESLIE PYNCHON
And only three.
GRAHAME
The public can digest no more.
THE ECONOMY...
CRIME...
TAXES...
Say it with me.
GRAHAME & CAL
THE ECONOMY...
CRIME...
TAXES...
GRAHAME
Very good. They're safe, you see. Not too extreme, not too abstract. You must stay away from big
words.
And from there it just gets better. McCain kept saying things that kept forcing me to sing bits of the song under my breath, and once I even had to skip ahead to "I See the Future," which is about what title says and is every bit the forced, sappy bullshit you would expect.
I'm not saying I base my thoughts on the debate on a political satire musical. I'm just saying: McCain, dude, you never had my vote and you never will, but I might stop laughing at you if you stop sounding like Grahame Chandler attempted to run your campaign and then gave up in disgust.
