HILARIOUS: Stale joke from the stale candidate for the stale journalists


Start paying royalties to Vince Vance already.

What he and they lack in substance they make up for in volume. In today's news:

"Republican 2008 presidential hopeful John McCain crooned the words "Bomb Iran" to a Beach Boys' tune in joking response to a question about any possible U.S. attack over Tehran's suspected nuclear weapons program.

" 'That old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran ... bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb,' the Vietnam War veteran warbled softly to the band's 'Barbara Ann' when he was asked when the United States would send an "airmail message" to Iran.

"The singing performance during a campaign stop on Wednesday in South Carolina drew chuckles from the audience and has already been viewed almost 11,000 times on the Internet video sharing site YouTube after being posted on Thursday."


Proof of the great American barometer that the excellence of something can be judged by the number of people willing to adopt it, courtesy of the mighty virtual river of all human wisdom -- YouTube.

James Woolsey and his colleague the Short Count, the author of the best-selling thriller, The Spike, and recruited by the CIA at least twice, sang the Vince Vance tune at DC's Metropolitan Club, beating everyone else to it by a few weeks. Presumably the only reason it didn't rocket to the top of YouTube is because the club is private and no one remembers who they are.

The resurrection of the novelty tune, Bomb Iran. Flip side: "Roll Over Moktada Sadr, Tell Banisadr The News."

If you know what this story is about, you'll surely enjoy Radiating Rubble.
