Psyche! There’s no such thing. Yet.

After blunderously claiming that mortal enemies Al-Qaeda and Iran were in cahoots, John McCain and life-partner Joe Lieberman popped over to the Temple Mount yesterday for a little fun, a little nosh, some kibbitzing, and a whole lot of nonplussed Hasidim. CNN tells it:

After slipping the traditional private note into the sacred wall which once supported the western side of the Second Temple, McCain received a tour of the tunnels of 0ld City Jerusalem.

Later, as he approached a railing to wave to the gathered Americans and a smattering of mostly less-interested Israelis, Eli Ezer of New York took a photo, but kept on a running debate with another tourist about McCain’s choice of a running mate.

“Do you think he should pick Lieberman?” the woman asked, referring to Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, the Democrat-turned-Independent who is a McCain supporter, and was at his side Wednesday.

“I hope not, ” said Ezer.

Haha. Two things:

a) Eli Ezer. Hello?? I’m guessing this a person named “Eliezer” whose last name was omitted, because they scammed the reporter, or because the reporter just botched it.

More importantly, though, I wonder what was in McCain’s note to G-d. I assume it was something along the lines of:

Are you there God?

It’s me. John McCain.

I know I’m not always giving you shouts like Bush, but we’re cool right? Cuz I really want to President. Anyway, if you read this, please continue to endow me with the piss and vinegar necessary to codger about for another 8 months without keeling over, and please either a) prevent me from saying stupid things or b) more realistically, throw enough distractions and pockets of ignorance in there to mitigate the effect of said stupidities. That Spitzer thing, say. Also, $end more oil plea$e!

In return, I shall make the earth run red with the blood of your children. Amen.
