Old Man Huggies Strikes Back!

This is what we're up against, fans. John McCain is going to be that hardest old person to beat, but we can do it.

All this explains the ferocity of the continued resistance to McCain among conservative leaders. Rush Limbaugh has served as a spokesman for their cause. On his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh excoriated those who "pretend that Sen. McCain is the choice of conservatives when exit poll data from every primary state show just the opposite."

"He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment — and that distinction is key," Limbaugh declared. "The Republican establishment, which has long sought to rid the party of conservative influence since Reagan, is feeling a victory today as well as our friends in the media."

He's an old person who conservatives don't like. It's an interesting strategy for Old Man Huggies, making me seem to agree with those who I loathe. I don't buy it. Those conservatives will vote for him just the same in the general election. So don't be fooled by Old Man Huggies' gambit. This is just proving how wily is the Elderly Menace.
