The 3AM text message
“The Obama-Biden campaign would like to apologize for frittering away $1 million on its text message service. That money could have been better spent covering 4 years of Sen. McCain’s ‘household staff’ costs.”
If I were a strategist for the John McCain I would pounce all over the titanic ineptitude exhibited by the Obama campaign with this whole “texting the supporters with the VP choice” thing. Seriously, what the fuck was that? I get a text from the Obama folk at 3AM on a Saturday fucking morning, hours after the press has already trumped them on the VP scoop, at the cost of a rumored $1,000,000?
I can just see the ads running now…
Ominous voiceover: It’s 3AM. You and your children are sleeping peacefully. Until your cell phone starts ringing that is.
Cut to: (A little girl in her bed looking frightened. She rubs her eyes and her lower lips quivers.)
Little girl: Mommy Daddy what was that noise that woke me up from the dream I was having about unicorns and rainbows? Mommy Daddy I’m scared!
Ominous voiceover: Who do you trust not to waste taxpayer money by sending you horseshit text messages from the White House at 3AM and scaring the bejesus out of your peacefully sleeping children in the process? John McCain would never do that because John McCain can’t even operate an electric toothbrush, much less a mobile device.
John McCain voiceover: I’m John McCain and I approve this message.
Goddamn I’m annoyed right now. And don’t even get me started on Joe Fucking Biden!
