Bill Richardson just ain't gonna cut it.
As evidenced by his run in recent polls, John McCain is a wily campaigner who is full of surprises. But I never expected to see this image: McCain urging Puerto Rican reggaeton superstud, Daddy Yankee to hug and kiss a crowd of screaming, hispanic, high school-age girls.
This Monday, McCain and Yankee, the author of El Cartel: The Big Boss and a DJ for a radio station in Grand Theft Auto IV, appeared together at his wife's high school in Phoenix, Arizona.
The press got a gimme gag, unable to entirely restrain their snickers at McCain's reported affection for Yankees biggest hit, Gasolina. The lyrics of which, we can only hope will become the McCain's energy plan anthem:
A ella le gusta la gasolina! Dame mas gasolina!
(She likes gasoline! Give me more gasoline!).
According to the Wall Street Journal, when the rapper was asked about the true meaning behind the lyrics, he replied wryly:
"Energy independence."
