John McCain *tries* to attract the youth vote

[ck4829]

Said at a rally today:

"I just want to say that I'm hip, I'm down with 'it'. Now, my friends, if you could put down your cellular telephones and your video game boxes for just a minute, I just wanted to tell you all that we will be in Iraq for the next hundred years! Isn't that exciting?!"

Reception to McCain's speech could not be measured, as most of the audience was fast asleep.

1. He's going to have to shout,

"I've fallen and I can't get up!" to get any attention from young people.

5. Hahaha

I know what he'll do. He'll call on all that experience and pass out butterscotch candies and dinner mints :P

At the same time I think he'll simplify his message for our short attention spans "The last 8 years have been great, how about 8 more?" Gotta get straight to the point sometimes you know?

13. "your video boxes"?????

I don't know that I ever had a "video box", of course, I'm not the youth vote. Perhaps there is something that I haven't heard about.
