OUR GREAT COUNTY, ALASKA – On Thursday, Republicans finally received the boost they needed to practically ensure victory on Election Day when Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry spoke up on behalf of Republican candidate John McCain. "We pretty much stay out of it, but seeing so many people come out for Obama, I just felt like 'What the hell, I might as well raise my hand for this side,'" Perry told the Boston Herald.
Unfortunately for the McCain camp, getting an endorsement from Perry is like Jesus Christ himself getting an endorsement from the devil. McCain, who was on the other side of 50-years-old when Aerosmith hit the charts with “Dream On,” combed through the 8-track tape collection in his Chevrolet El Camino searching for an Aerosmith cassette on Wednesday after hearing the news of his latest endorsement. Regretfully, the only cassettes to be found were The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly & The Crickets and Booker T & The MG’s.
“Buddy Holly & The Crickets,” McCain said, squeezing his eye like Poppey and chucking to himself, “now there’s a band that should play at the inaugural ball in January after Sarah Palin and I win the Presidential nomination.”
Palin, who was attending a hockey game in her home state of Alaska, commented on her boss’s gaffe. “The Maverick, unfortunately, had just waked from his afternoon nap and hadn’t had his Alzheimer’s medication when he was asked about Mr. Joe Perry’s endorsement, which we greatly appreciate and think will help bring out a key demographic that we hadn’t counted on for votes: the 40- to 60-year-old stoner vote. Or at least that’s what my wonderful husband, Todd, told me after he got back from a bar-hopping trip on his snow machine.”
To fully complete the circle, the McCain camp is still awaiting its last prized endorsement from … Keith Richards.
