Old Man and the [Black] Sea

by Larry Tate on August 13, 2008

John McCain’s computer skills are nothing to write home about. But his jet skiing is legend.

Seriously, nothing says “foreign policy experience” like a wrinkly white-haired dude jumping wake on a Sea-Doo with the president of a former Soviet republic.

I hope they have video, ’cause this would make a killer ad.

UPDATE I:

Uh, oh. The waters are getting turbid and choppy for the jet ski duo. Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili had this to say today:

“Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”

Ouch. I wonder if the jet ski is named the “Straight Deed Express”? And, does Saakashvili understand that McCain is not the president of the United States?

UPDATE II:

Wait, wait. This is too awesome: McCain is now sending his own delegation to Georgia. You’ll never believe who it is . . . . . . . . . Lieberman and Graham! That’s right. Joe-mentum and Huckleberry Graham. They’re in the DEED business! Stand way back, bitches.

No word yet on how the Bush administration will take McCain’s efforts to undermine the diplomacy of the actual government of the United States.
