Politics

The First Rule of Holes

by Clay Staggs

When in one, stop digging. Pretty simple, right?

Barack Obama has an ego problem. Remember his own presidential seal? McCain has even ridiculed Obama’s messiah complex in his ad “The One” which I linked earlier.

Now, if you were Obama, and were being ridiculed by your opponent (to some effect) for having too high an opinion of yourself, what type of stage would you construct for yourself for delivery of your acceptance speech?

Naturally, a Greek temple. I kid you not:

McCain’s campaign, when they first heard of this, suspected it was from the Onion.

But, politics is stranger than that, and apparently Obama’s ego really is that big. That sound you hear is digging at the bottom of the hole.
