Next at Comedy Sportz: John McCain June 4, 2008

What I like about John McCain — which is something that could quickly make me dislike him — is his attempt at humor.

It began on American Idol when he basically reiterated the plot to American Dreamz. Odds are you didn’t see the movie (as I didn’t either), so ignore the reference.

Really…I own it, but I haven’t watched it.

Then while watching Lifetime — OK…Frasier is on Lifetime at 12 and 12:30 a.m. Monday through Friday — I saw he appeared in a commercial for Army Wives, a show about…well, anyway…

His appearance went something like this:

“Thanks for watching Army Wives.  I’ve become a big fan of Army Wives, mostly because Cindy makes me watch it.  Anyway…”

Incredibly random.  Somewhat funny.  But it’s the kind of funny that’s only funny because he’s John McCain.  He’s almost 72.  He’s got a 50-50 shot of being the 44th president of the United States of America.   And he looks like your favorite grandfather.

It’s a type of humor that could some day get him in trouble.  Not only would it turn some people off, but it also increases the chances of him unintentionally digging himself into trouble by offending someone.  But for now, it’s fun to watch.

Seriously, why would I lie about seeing the movie if I already told you that I own the DVD?
